Someone Thinks I'm Versatile, Who Knew?

Below is what Margaret, the kind person who presented me with The Versatile Blogger Award, wrote:

Debbie,

I awarded you the Versatile Blogger Award for all of the great information that you provide to the doll community!

I appreciate the award and accept it with great honor.   I am doing what I love to do -- writing about the dolls that warm my heart.  I love sharing information about past and present black dolls.  With computer keyboard, a good word processing program, and the time to do it, I'll write about dolls until I'm old and gray.  At times I feel older than I desire, but dolls keep me young.  So I'll write about them ad infinitum!

Thanks, Margaret.  You're the best!

According to the rules of this award, I am supposed  to share 7 things about myself.

My 7 Things:

1.  I am the married mother of two adult children (I love all three of these people very much.)
2.  I am a loving granny to two beautiful boys whom I love with all my heart and soul.   
3. As indicated above in my award acceptance text, I am passionate about black dolls... enthused about; love, love, love them!
4. I love researching and writing (particularly about dolls).
5.  I have authored two black-doll reference books and own the copyright of a third, soon-to-be published book.
6. My past articles have appeared in Doll Castle News, UFDC's Doll News, Doll Collector (formerly Contemporary Doll Collector), and British Doll Showcase.  The articles are listed here.
