"A cheerful look brings joy to the heart"
Book of Proverbs
This is my favorite doll....I made her about 18 years ago. When my youngest granddaughter (Avery) grew out of a newborn outfit I bought for her when she was born,  my daughter gave it to me to dress my doll with ....
She sits on an antique rocking chair my parents gave me.
The two combined are a very special Forever Keepsake!!
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you... write them on the tablet of your heart"
Book of Proverbs

especially since most of the 21" dolls are all one of a kind.
They make a wonderful gift for anyone who loves dolls.
They make a great decorator doll, keepsake dolls or a wonderful doll for a child.
Each doll cost $48-$55.

Hi. My name is Karen Challender and I'm the creator of Karens Kids.
I've been making these dolls for over 25 years. 
My kids are made from a soft craft velour or doe suede fabric that feels like real baby skin.  The kids stand 21" tall and can wear preemie and newborn sized clothing. For complete info on how the dolls are made, what they're made from, etc, please click here.
A "Certificate of Creation" comes with each 21" doll.
Certificates now come with 16" doll's, too :o)
Karens Kids are also available on my new website:
www.karenskids.net
GREAT GIFT IDEA
Custom made dolls can be ordered to match a child of any race.  They come fully dressed and can be ordered to match a child's hair color, eye color, hair style, etc.  These make a great gift for a child, for a parent or for yourself as a decorator doll.  They cost $65 and are ready in appx. 2 - 3 wks. For more information,

The color of our skin isn't the color of our hearts....
