As a primary school teacher, I must admit that I get very attached to the children in my class. I know that at the end of each year, I have to let my precious little people go, as they move on to their next class. Luckily, I still get to watch them grow and flourish for a few years, until they’re ready for secondary school… but this year, one of my precious girls departed to a faraway destination. I wanted to make her something to remember all of us by, so I designed her this little doll as a keepsake to and a comfort on her next adventure.
