Congratulations for the Black E-Zine... It's very interesting. It's important for me, because I learn a lot of things for the black dolls because, I see that the all members know name's black dolls, collector and maker, but, in France, I read this magazine with a lot pleasure. Rosine

"Congratulations Deb and Zee!! This is a wonderful Zine and you both should be very proud. I adore Black dolls and I am very interested in knowing more about them! I am white, but so appreciate the beautiful art work it takes to make any dolls authentic, especially dolls of color. In the future I really want to create some dolls of color...(out of cloth) and I want to make sure that the work that I create is done correctly...

"Debbie, you deserve commission! [The Saralee article] ...was a great article. Saralee is now on my dream doll list because of it! (Smile)" Lois.

O Zee, I really think this is a great idea! I do want to subscribe and I sent the info to Debbie too. I look forward to Debbie's and Zee's Zine! Thank you for all of your work and for the great job you do on the Dolls of Color e-mail club. Sincerely, Karen Rae Mord
