The Power of Pink

Super Molly Girl

Meet Super Molly Girl. She recently arrived in this lovely pink wrapping, actually just stopping over before she headed off to Delaware, her final destination. Notice her pink shorts and the shiny pink ribbons on her outfit.

Back in September for a Metamorphosis Monday, Debbie @ Confessions of a Plate Addict shared a wonderful story about a special project with her grandson, Andrew. You can read about it here. As Debbie said, "At the tender age of six...almost seven... my grandson decided he would like to design a "line of toys" (his words!), superheroes and villains that would appeal to children his age!"

I was very impressed with Andrew's entrepreneurial spirit and wanted to support his fledgling business. I left a comment on that post with a request that Andrew might produce a special order for me.

Super Molly Girl

One of our nephew's youngest daughter, Molly, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia Tcell in May of 2008 when she was 5 years old. Molly is a super hero fan, and we all consider her a super hero in her battle against cancer. The photo above, taken before her diagnosis, is of Molly in her Super Girl outfit.


Super Molly Girl Plan

Debbie immediately replied saying that Andrew would be delighted to design a super hero doll just for Molly, a Super Molly Girl! And he wanted this to be a special gift from him to Molly.
The drawing above is Andrew's original drawing for the design of Super Molly Girl. I think Andrew definitely has a bright future ahead of him!


Super Molly Equipped With Her Own Dual Jet Pack

Super Molly Girl is equipped with her own dual jet pack. She fired up those rockets and propelled herself across country to meet up with the real Molly, who in my mind is definitely a SUPER HERO. Molly is one brave little girl, a fierce fighter who is going to beat this cancer!

Thanks for visiting today. Please leave a comment below so I know you stopped by.

  2. Oh, Sarah... this is so neat! I loved those super heroes that Andrew designed, and how great that you not only supported his artistic efforts, but that you did this for your little niece. I hope and pray that Super Molly beats the beast! I'm pulling for her with all my might.

  9. A bittersweet story but I just know your Super Molly Girl will be strong and beat her cancer. Meanwhile, she will be in our thoughts and prayers (DH and I are both cancer survivors) because we understand the road can be long and the treatment hard.

    Love and hugs to you Sarah and your family. Enjoy PS and the weekend.

  12. Hello Sarah, thanks for stopping by my Kentucky outpost. The wedding dress I purchased has some imperfections and the lady said had been there for awhile, so I don't feel too bad cutting it up. I will also pray for Holly. I am one of the Prayer warriors.

  16. Wow! That's very impressive for a young child to have such big plans for the future. I think most children are clueless at that age. He must be a genious - what a cute doll. I know Molly will get a big kick out of it. I will pray for her health.

    Have a great weekend,
    Doris
