“My daughter was thrilled to be able to help “create” her own butterfly girl! She loved being able to pick out the colors and the hair style, it was neat to hear her own fantasy of what her butterfly girl would look like. When it arrived she was so excited it was just like she imagined. She was so proud of her creation and loved seeing her very own butterfly girl come to life. This is a wonderful present to give to your child, we both adored it!”  Cathy Piso-
