Letter from the Editor

Happy Halloween! I must admit Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. There is a crispness in the fall air that reminds me of being a child. I love cuddling up in front of the fire with a warm blanket, a great book and my dolls all about me. There is a great serenity in that ritual that helps to keep me young, even if it is only a spiritual youth ;)

We have an awesome issue this month. Each month I dread the publishing date as it approaches (because fundamentally I'm lazy) but once the issue is done I always feel I've accomplished something to be proud of. I really hope you enjoy all the articles this month and I look forward to seeing the photo contest entries.

I want to once again thank all our contributors (without you there wouldn't be an ezine) and to all our subscribers. I'm always so touched to get emails thanking us for working on Dollicieux. It really makes it worth it. And finally a giant thank you to our subscribers that made donations to Dollicieux last month! You paid for a full month of hosting. What a wonderful gift. I can't say thank you enough.

   Sincerely
