paperdolls to remember newtown victims

To help us deal with our nation's loss, we have made a ring of
paperdolls to put on our tree.  Most are children but some are
adults.  We need to think of those precious Newtown children as safe,
loved and cared for now.  We've put teddy bears into the ring with
them.  The dolls all wear halos we have made from narrow gold tape.
When we think of the adults we give thanks that we live in a country
where people are willing to give their lives to try to save others. 

I have attached files for the paperdolls I have copied from the
“origami resource center” if someone else wants to use my idea.  Make a pile of copies and cut through several pages at a time to make enough dolls.
Some people could put names on the backs of each doll or even small
children could put glitter on them to show their angel clothes.  It
is as though these children belong to us all now.
