----------------Clip Art Update------------
--Kewpies took a LONG time to prepare, since they are from a child's 1916 scrapbook, and she wasn't too handy with the scissors! I digitally re-cut out each image by hand, pixel by pixel, which delayed the clip art release schedule. My apologies!! --Dollmaking Clip Art from 1900!
