When I was a little girl, I loved paper dolls.
I had an American Girl set, and loved to play with them. Oh, yes --I was an American Girl gal over a decade ago, when the franchise was at it's peak. I had the Twin Doll, several sets of books, and even the computer game that let you write your own play --but what I really loved, and the only thing I've often wished I could put in my hope chest for my future daughters, were the dolls.
The opportunity to pass on paper dolls with infinitely more meaning has presented itself in the form of Noble Rose Press, a company run by my sweet friends, Breezy and Emily Rose Brookshire. These darling paper dolls are inspired by women of faith, from Katie Luther to Idelette Calvin to Pocahontas to Pricilla Mullins, to my favorite set (two of my favorite women in history), Sarah Edwards and Abigail Adams.
I have all three sets myself, and I must say that they're just as darling as I thought they would be. Each is equipped with several outfits, and the inside of each booklet holds a short biography of the women represented. You can also make a pocket in the back of the books to hold the paper dolls. Although I don't have a little sister to enjoy my dolls, they have a cherished spot in my hope chest (which is, at this point, being overrun mostly by books).
The Brooskhire girls have graciously allowed me to host a giveaway of their paper doll bundle! You don't want to miss the chance to enter and win all three sets of dolls for a sweet gift to give to a special someone now, or to put on layaway for a special someone later. =)
Here's how to enter:
- For one entry, leave your name and the name of a godly woman in history who has inspired you in your pursuit of biblical womanhood.
- For two entries, put a link to Noble Rose Press on your blog, Facebook, or Twitter page.
- For three entires, link back to this post on your blog, Facebook, or Twitter to let others know about the giveaway.
- For an extra entry, and most importantly, head over to Breezy's blog, A Bowl of Moss and Pebbles, and check out her art sale --all proceeds will go to Rescue Haiti's Children. Please do what you can to spread the word about an amazing opportunity to give aid where it is most certainly needed.

The first lady who came to my mind was Anne Bradstreet. Her willingness to serve her Lord in the face of troubles is very inspiring.
Soli Deo Gloria,
Jenn
Jasmine!
Thanks for offering these! I have had my eye on them for my girls since before Christmas!
I posted about it on my blog and it automatically links to my Facebook wall.
Have a great day!
These paper dolls are so cool! I never had American Girl paper dolls, but I had a great set of Civil War dolls from Gettysburg :)
A woman in history who inspired my was Martin Luther's wife, Catherine. They have a really neat story! If you haven't read it, I highly recommend Kitty, My Rib by E. Jane Mall.

Hi Jasmine,
I am glad I wasn't the only girl who had (and still has) American Girl stuff. Way back before it became big I got my first doll (I have 2 and so does my sister) plus all the furniture and the computer game you mentioned. Reading it made me smile.
The name of a godly woman in history that has inspired me is hard. I haven't really looked back in history a ton. Much less I haven't found one to inspire me.
But in the bible I am always inspired by the story of Hannah.
These are some beautiful paper dolls, thank you for hosting the giveaway.
~Miss Hannah K.
I immediately thought about Amy Carmichael. She's a wonderful inspiration to me. =)
These sweet girls gave me a set not long ago, and I put it in my Hope-Chest. However, I would love to win this set for my sisters. One Godly woman who inspired me was Martha Washington.
Thanks Jasmine!
~Livvy
Okay, I linked as well. Don't you love the painting she did? It's so precious. I'm glad there will be prints, as now I can buy a copy! :)
I also posted about the giveaway just now.
Thanks again!
~Livvy
Those paper dolls are so beautiful! A woman in history that has inspired me is Abigail Adams.
Abby
Hm...Several of the stories of women in the Bible have inspired me in my pursuit of godliness. Hannah, who waited patiently for a son just so she could dedicate him to the Lord. Sarah, who Scripture gives as an example of a submissive wife. Ruth, also. I could go on, but those are a few. :)
I put a link to the Noble Rose Press website on Twitter, and also linked back to this post.
I have an American Girl twin too! I used to play with her ALL the TIME!
A Godly woman who has inspired me in History was a Hawaiian Princess, I can't spell her name, but the Botkin Sisters talk about her in there CD 'Strength and Dignity for Daughters'. She was their exsample of a REAL princess.
Thanks for the givaway Jasmine,
Your Loving Sister in Christ,
Johanna
Wow! I'm not the only person who buys paper doll just to have them in my hope chest! I've always thought I was quite crazy...:) I have a set that bought for my hope chest as well. But I know lots a little girls who would enjoy them to so I've gone ahead and posted an extra link on my "resources" page on my website. I also stopped by the blog as you said...Koleesa
Those paper doll are lovely!
I posted about the giveaway on my blog & linked it back to here! :)
www.daddysmaiden.blogspot.com
I would love to win these for my three little sisters!! Anna (5) has seen these lovely paper dolls in the Vision Forum catalog, and keeps saying "Jenna, those are so pretty!":)
Thank you for the entry, Jasmine!!
Love,
Jenna
Thank you for doing this Jasmine!
The first woman that came to my mind was Abigail Adams.
I posted the link on my facebook.
Oo goodie! I'm working hard to win this one! =) I had an American Girl paper doll set, too!
There are many women in history I admire, but the first that came to mind is Corrie ten Boom. Do I get double points since you love her too? ;)
I put a link to Noble Rose Press on my blog.
I posted about your giveaway and linked back to your post on my blog.
I visited Breezy's blog and LOVE her artwork! That is a wonderful way to help Rescue Haiti's Children!
Any more ways to get extra entries? =)
What a lovely giveaway, Jasmine. Ladies who have inspired me (though their not really historic) would be my mother, Carol, Joni Earekson Tada, and an elderly lady from our church, Ms. Hazael.
We used to have so much fun with paper dolls. We had some of Mama's childhood ones, some Civil War time ones in poofy dresses that we got in Tennessee, our American girl ones, and ones we cut from catalogs. We had three times more girls than we had boys, and we built them houses out of cardboard boxes with curtains cut from the J. C. Penny catalog. Such sweet memories. : )
Laura
Hello!!
A woman in history that has really inspired me is Sarah Edwards. She was such an amazing woman of God and wonderful helper to her husband!!
~Lily
OK--I'm totally with you on the computer program to make plays! Only at that time, I had no brothers, so getting voices for my male characters was difficult! I'll have to go look up my past plays now, but I think they involved a lot of fainting. (-:
Many women in history have inspired me, but right now I'm thinking about Elisabeth Elliot. All that she went through...and her love for God and the Auca Indians despite that is very humbling!
I would love to win these for my daughter! Sarah Edwards has had a very memorable impact on my life. Thanks for hosting this.
I all that excitement I forgot to share a few of my favorite women! I would agree with just about every thing everyone's said so far. Corrie Ten Boome, Princess KaŹ»iulani, etc. Plus add Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, Mary Ann Custis Lee, and Dale Evans.
I've been quite inspired by the life of Sarah Edwards, Jonathan Edwards' wife. Thanks for a beautiful giveaway.
I've linked to Noble Rose Press on my blog...www.amultitudeofmercies.blogspot.com
Love these paper dolls!
I've also posted about this on my blog.:) Sorry for the multiple, separate entries, Jasmine. Didn't think to put it all in one comment as several wiser posters did.:)
Recently the godly lady that has made the most impact on me is Anne Bradstreet
I recently did a blog post on one of her great poems. I love the line that says: "I blest His grace that gave and took"
You can visit the post here: http://joyinjehovah.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-blest-his-grace-that-gave-and-took.htm
I love you blog Jasmine

I used to love American Girl dolls! I always wanted the Kirsten doll when I was younger, but never got her. I did get Kit and Lindsay, though. :)
I would say Mary, the mother of Jesus, because of her obedience and willingness to follow God no matter how much scorn it might bring her.
I posted a link to Noble Rose press on my Twitter account.
I posted a link to this giveaway on my Twitter account.
Wow, this sounds great! My sisters would especially love this! One woman from history who inspires me was Lottie Moon, the Southern Baptist missionary.
Who inspires you? :)
-Rachel C
What a nice giveaway!
Please enter me in. I am trying to think of what godly woman in history that has inspired me. . . I know I really enjoy the story of Corrie Ten Boome- does that count? I also enjoy Elizabeth Prentiss' book Stepping Heavenward although I never have really read alot about her.
~Hannah
These are so pretty. I would love to win them for my sisters.
One of the ladies that has really inspired me is Elizibeth Elliot. I am a missionary to Costa Rica and her story and the books she has written have helped me a lot.
This is such a great givaway!!
We were big fans of American Girl dolls. My oldest daughter, now 29, had Kirsten, one of the first three dolls that Pleasant Company offered. Kirsten brought much joy to our home and had quite a wardrobe, some which I sewed myself. My younger daughter was given Addy by my mom right before she (my mom) passed away and Kaya a couple of years later. We still have the books, waiting for my granddaughters to read.
I would love to receive the paper dolls for my granddaughters. Thanks for hosting this giveaway.
What a great giveaway. I have 4 girls and the little ones love to play with paper dolls. In fact when I told them about the Breezy making her own she started that very day making her own paper dolls for her sisters. They love them~
I have been encouraged by Corrie Ten Boome as well. What an amazing struggle she endured and how real she was in her trials, and her sister! Two amazing women used by the Lord.
~Cinnamon
I forgot to add that I put the contest on my sidebar with a link back to here. As well as putting a link to Noble Rose Press on my blog under 'learning fun'.

~Hannah
My pick in American History would definitely be Abigail Adams.
Barbara Wilberforce (wife of William Wilberforce who abolished slavery in England) was an amazing woman of faith. My two litter sisters would be thrilled to have those gorgeous paper dolls.
-Camilla
oh, how fun! one of my favorite women of history is Queen Margaret of Scotland.
~Carreen A.
Oops. So sorry I forgot to mention the lady in history who has inspired me. (I was rushing because I've been having computer problems.)I have been greatly inspired by Elizabeth Prentiss, author of Stepping Heavenward. Her writings and life are great encouragements to women of all ages to look to Christ and all that we have in Him.
I remember that American Girl computer game - it drove my confused ten-year-old brain crazy. :o)
My hope chest is overrun with books too.
Corrie ten Boom and Amy Carmichael are some of my heroines of the faith. Thanks for hosting this giveaway, Jasmine - it's a lovely thought to imagine playing on the living room floor with daughters of my own someday. ;) My sister and I used to cut out paper dolls from our thick stack of catalogues, write their names out on the back and play out soap opera worthy episodes.
Bailey
HI Jasmine! I have the American Girl paper dolls too. I loved them as a little girl. Picking just one woman in history that has inspired me is hard. Probally, my favorite is Abigail Adams. She had to endure much of what I have with my dads job. She encourages me ALL the time. My certain situation is hard because I don't have any friends who truly understand. Then I think of Abigail and remember that she did not see her husband for years! It really helps! Thanks for the giveaway!
Amy Carmichael is a woman who inspires me. I would love to win these paper dolls. Thanks for offering them.
By the way, I also linked to their website and this post on my blog.
Thanks so much for hosting, Jasmine!
Soli Deo Gloria,
Jenn
My sister and I LOVE paper dolls and have recently been making our own. I would like to be able to share these with her. The woman who inspires me is Esther from the bible. Thanks
The paper dolls are beautiful! A woman in history who has inspired me is Mary, the mother of our Lord. She was so responsible, yet so young...what a lovely example to young ladies she led!
In Christ's love,
~Annie~
P.S. I visited Breezy's blog to check out her paintings. I'm hoping that counts as an extra entry? :)
Hi! I, too, love American girl dolls, and paper dolls. I would love to be entered in the giveaway.
Abby Y.
Oh yeah:) Suzanna Wesley.
Oh, yeah, I linked back to the Press, too.
I would love to enter! A godly woman in history that has inspired me is Laura Ingalls Wilder. Those paper dolls are beautiful.
Blessings,
Leah :)
P.s. I will link to the Noble Rose press on my blog.
I posted the link on my facebook page, and I would have to say that Elisabeth Elliot has been most inspiring to me, especially lately!
I think these paper dolls are so beautiful! :)
Hi, You don't know me but my mom found your blog a couple years ago and I've been reading it.
Someone thats a truely godly woman that inspires me is Dorcas, a biblecal woman, she was always giving away food, clothes, and things like that, she inspires me to 'do unto others'
~Michaela Carden servant to high king Yeshua~

Oh how wonderful Miss Jasmine!
I would LOVE to enter please! :)
I was into paper dolls as well as a little girl (and yes an American Girl fan too) but absolutly LOVED paper dolls! I have eyed those lovely paper dolls at Noble Rose Press myself, and have wanted to purchase the bundle to put into my hope chest for my future children to play with (Lord willing)but have not had the means to do so as of yet! This would be such a blessing to win this neat giveaway!
Someone who has been such an encouragement to me and my walk with my Savior has to be my dear mother! I know to everyone else she is not known or famous, but to me... she is everything I want to become and to pass on her willingness to care for others and her Lord is more than what any other woman in history has, or can ever do for me in the way my dear mother/best friend can! As time goes on and she is no longer here on earth and is praising her heavenly father in heaven, I hope to the future generations in our family will come to know her as a strong, godly woman in our history! :)
I will be posting about your giveaway soon! :)
Blessings in Christ,
Miss Antoinette
PS. Here is my e-mail encase you need it: ajkonvalin(at)gmail(dot)com
Our family has been admiring these paper dolls,too. Corrie ten Boom is an encouragement to me.
Beverly
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity, Jasmine! I have always admired these paper dolls! :)
Gladys Aylward has always inspired me! Her life story is amazing!
I put a link on my blog to the Noble Rose Press. It is located directly above my follower list.

Your Sister In Christ,

I've been wanting these for my daughter since they first came out :)
I would say Elisabeth Elliot :)
Love, Angel
I have them as a favorite on my profile on facebook :) And I read both Emily's and Breezy's blog regularly, they are both in my feed reader!
I have always been touched by the story of Amy Carmichael.
Rachel C.
rlcohee@hotmail.com
oh yes, this is amazing! I almost bought them when they were on sale at VF through Jan. 31, but had to restrain myself because I didn't have that extra $$ to spend. =( {had to get 'Homeschool Dropouts' instead!} Annnyhow, this is wonderful. =)
There are so many women in history who have inspired me, but right off the top of my head I must say Amy Carmichael. What a blessing she is!
Have a lovely day Jasmine!
Just thought I would let you know I posted about your giveaway!!!
Blessings in Christ,

Hi Jasmine! I'd LOVE to enter!
A Godly woman that has inspired me is Pocahontas.
I have posted about your giveaway on my blog, and, I have put the Noble Rose Press link on my blog,
Thank you for hosting this giveaway Jasmine!
--Allison Grace
Oh!!! I just love those paper dolls! The artwork is beautifully done! Fanny Crosby is one who has inspired me with her contentment with being blind and how she let God work through her trial.
Loved the American girl dolls, too. =)
Mrs. Robert E Lee really encouraged me. I read the book, Lady of Arlington-can't remember the author. After reading how she kept a prayer journal, it inspired me to keep one myself.
~Samantha
Susannah Spurgeon is the woman in history who has most inspired me. I read her biography because I admire her husband's preaching so much (recorded by modern readers of course...) and wanted to learn from the woman behind this great man. It was so helpful to me that I now want to learn as much as possible about the wives of men such as this, but I think she'll always be my favorite =)
Putting the paper dolls in your hope-chest is a wonderful idea!!
Love,
Cait
Hehe, after looking at the rest of the comments, I suppose I should actually let you know where my blog is. Sorry about that!
http://becomingafairlady.blogsopt.com
Thanks again, Jasmine!
Soli Deo Gloria,
Jenn
ooh, i have three girls that would love these. :)
Betsey and Corrie Ten Boom (can I say two?) Extraordinary faith and peace in terrible circumstances.
darci :)
What beautiful dolls! My 7 year old daughter would love to have these to play with.
A godly woman from history who has inspired me is Elizabeth Prentiss. I have not read/nor exposed myself to many historical women...I've never had the opportunity. But, I was named after Abigail Adams by my history teacher father. I was thrilled to see, only recently, that she was not "just a first lady" but an amazing woman of God who loved her husband a great deal!
Hi Jasmine,
One of the first people that came to mind was Hannah in the bible. I was always amazed at her unselfishness when she gave her son to live at the temple.
My role model I think would be Narcissa Whitman. To leave her family and go out and be a missionary is such an example. And not just a missionary, but the adoptive mother of several children.
Cait
Thank you so much for posting this.. the ladies who have had most influenced my life are; Elizabeth Elliot, Corrie Ten Boom and my Mother. I would love to be entered in the give-away.
Thank you,
Maddie
My daughters would go crazy over these! Count me in!
A Godly woman...Marie Taylor. Hudson Taylor's wife.
Posted the link to Noble Rose Press on my blog.
Hello, my name is Heidi, and Ruth from the Bible, really inspired me. What a kind and loving woman she was!
I linked your site and Noble Rose Press to my blog.
I also went to A Bowl of Moss and Pebbles.
Thank you for encouraging others through your writing.
Love,
Maddie
What a great givaway! I already bought the whole set for my little sisters... but I'd love to have them for my hopechest. :-)
I'll have to go with Sarah Edwards (it was hard to choose... there have been so many great ones mentioned already). Her life is a prime example of how a woman can impact thousands by "just" being a godly wife and mother. The list of famous and influential Edwards' decendants is quite impressive. :-)
~Tayler M.
I've always been inspired by Gladys Alyward. I'm looking forward to introducing my girls to here. Hope we win the paper dolls!
Hi Jasmine, Thanks for hosting this give-away! As to the most inspiring woman in History (since my Mamma won't count :) would be a toss up between Mary Lee (Robert E Lee's wife), because she was constant beside her husband, and Dale Evans, because of the way she brought glory to God through her life and writings. There's lots others though, too...

I thought of Amy Carmichael and Elizabeth Elliot. Amy Carmichael started a church in Ireland, moved to Japan to do mission work, and finally went to India. There she faced great danger by rescuing girls who would be forced into serving in the Hindu temples. Elizabeth Elliot's husband was murdered by indians, and then she moved into the indian villages with other women and children to spread the Gospel.
Both were extremely courageous and humble in their serving of the Lord.
Hello Jasmine!
You have a great blog, I just started reading it a little while ago, and I have to say your posts are really inspiringme, and make me want to strive to become a Godly young lady and writer like you. So thank you! I think one of my favorite heroines in His story is Ruth, I was just reading her account in the Bible.
Thank you so much for having this giveaway! If I had the pleasure to win the paper dolls they would be enjoyed by my younger sister Abigail and I for a time and then land in my over crowded bookshelf "for later".
Blessings in Christ,
Rachel Grace
Hello Jasmine,
I have put a link to Noble Rose Press on my blog, thank you!
Blessings in Christ,
Rachel Grace
Katarina Carlson and the woman that I look to a lot would be Elisabeth Elliot.
I posted on my blog: http://preschooljoy.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/intentional-parenting-paper-doll-giveaway/
I've always been encouraged by Corrie Ten Boom and how she showed Christian love in extreme difficulty. I've eyed the Noble Rose paper dolls for a long time. : )
I'm inspired by so many people in history, but lately I've been especially inspired by Sarah Edwards. I've been collecting information and stories about her ever since reading Marriage to a Difficult Man.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I linked to you on my Facebook page!!
Greetings, Jasmine,
I have a question: Are any of these paper dolls people of color? Just wondering.
Thanks,
Laurel H.
laurel.k.harper@verizon.net
Hi Jasmine,
I'd love to enter your give away!
I have really appreciated Elisabeth Elliot's writing.
Emily B.
The first woman that comes to mind is Susannah Wesley. I am always encouraged by her mothering.
Hannah
I linked on FB and stopped by their web art sale - what a great idea!
Hannah
Susanna Wesley...what an amazing, Godly wife and mother who raised her large brood of children amidst depressing poverty and in spite of her oft-distracted husband. She did something right for sure--look at her children!
Darlene Deibler Rose has inspired me to seek the Lord with all my heart!
These paperdolls are beautiful! I love it!
Hi Jasmine!
What a nice give away!
Oh I don't know! There are so many women who have inspired me! Well I think that Ruth from the Bible has inspierd me the most. I'm sorry but I don't blog, twitter or do facebook. I LOVE your blog!
Love, Meghan
Sarah Edwards and her support of her husband. What a lofty aspiration I have to support my husband that way.
These would be great for my 2 daughters (and me too)
Edith Schaeffer has been an inspiration regarding home and family and biblical womanhood.
I posted a link to Noble Rose Press on my blog.
I also linked back to this post on my blog.
And I went to Breezy's blog and checked out her art sale. What a wonderful thing she is doing with her paintings in having all the proceeds go to Rescue Haiti's Children!
So that equals 4 entries. :)
Thank you,Jasmine, for hosting this wonderful giveaway!
~Amy W.
I'd love to be entered!
Princess Kaiulani has always been an inspiration to me, especially what she accomplished for her country.
Mia
My sister's birthday is only a month away and this would make the perfect gift!
One of the most inspirational women for me has been Amy Carmichael. She's been my hero since I was 7.
I linked up to both the Noble Rose site and to your blog through twitter.
One woman that comes to mind, is Amy Carmichael. I'm ready Elizabeth Elliott's biography of her now. Amazing.
I linked NRP on my fb page and am putting a link to your blog there too. (BTW, you blog is beautiful and your writing encouraging!)
Amy Carmichael had such an impact on young ladies, just like I want to.
Abigail
I put a link to your blog and to Noble Rose Press on my blog. I also checked out the art sale.
At last! I now know that I'm not the only one who absolutely loves paper dolls.
One of the most influential women of God in my life has been Amy Carmichael. Her writings and prayers have often encouraged me in difficult times.
I already follow Breezy's blog, so I'm glad to have found another "kindred spirit."
Hi Jasmine,
I too like American Girl stuff and though I don't have their paper dolls, I do enjoy playing with them. i do have some of the American Girl doll clothes and one doll. the clothes fit the Vision Forum dolls really well!
I think that one the women from history that has inspired me is Esther from the Bible. I have also put a link to your blog and Noble Rose Press on my blog - www.creationsbycallie.com. And I checked out Breezy's art sale. It is really neat that she is using her talent to help those in need.
Blessings,
Callie
I would like to enter to win the paper dolls for my girls.
A woman who has inpired me, not so much historical, has beeen Nancy Leigh DeMoss. I would also like to add Elizabeth Elliot.
Thanks,
Cairah
j.watt@sbcglobal.net
What a great giveaway!
Abigail Adams is someone I admire.:)
Jasmine,
THese are SO SWEET and I would love a set of these for my sweet girl...I will not go into the reasons, but a couple of women who have inspired me are:
Abigail Adams, Susanna Wesley and from more recent "history" Elizabeth Eliott...I think though, that the people WE KNOW...sometimes have more influence over us than those we won't know until glory (If we even care by that point...when before the King of GLory...), but my dear Pamela, has influenced me more than any other person has...a dear woman...
Thanks for the chance to win...I am so excited about this playthings....things that inspire creative and godly play and learning...a very good thing.
Love,
C~

What lovely dolls!
I had a few American Girl paper dolls when I was younger, and also had a Colonial Family set.
What fun!
How fun! My sisters and I adored paper dolls when we were young! (We still do!!!)
One of my favorite historical ladies is Mary Anna Morrison Jackson. :)
I've also linked to Noble Rose Press on our family's blog...
And I've linked to your post, as well!
Hi Jasmine, this is such a sweet idea!

A lady in history who has inspired me: Abigail Adams
2. Linked to Noble Rose Press on my blog
4. Visited Breezy's blog and art sale (very impressive!)
Thank you for hosting this wonderful give-away!
Susanna Wesley, mother to John and Charles Wesley and 17 other children, though 9 died as infants. She was a homeschooler and made it her mission in life to raise godly and intelligent children.
I've posted on my FB page (Shannon Rop) and on my twitter page (pinkfrenchgirl) and have also posted the Noble Rose website on my FB page. Not sure how to add it to my blog, though. That is shannon-momof5.blogspot.com. Thanks for this!
I was thrilled to see another giveaway of these excellent sets!
I was so blessed to meet Emily and Breezy at last year's VF Father/Daughter retreat, and was amazed to discover that they reside just about 20 minutes down the road from my great-grandparents in Indiana and attend the very church we had visited a few years ago while up there. What a small world! :) While visiting family in Indiana this September, we were invited to their home for lunch and fellowship following church, and it was then that they filled me in on their wonderful project. It was so exciting to see how the art had progressed and to hear of how everything came together. What a special time that was; I couldn't be more proud of these dear friends of mine! :)
Well, having said all that, please do enter me in the giveaway! :) I, too, purchased each available collection for my hopechest, but have a dear friend who wants these so badly.
As for godly women who have inspired me in my pursuit of biblical womanhood, there are many! The main ones are Anne Bradstreet, Susannah Spurgeon, Abigail Adams, Ruth and Sarah from the Bible, and Sarah Edwards.
Thanks for entering me! :)

And, last but not least, I linked to Noble Rose Press on my blog sidebar. I thought I had already done so, but apparently I had not, so I'm glad you mentioned that as one of the entries! :)
Those dolls are so precious.
Jane Grey. Very admirable.

This is such a great giveaway! Thank you Jasmine, Emily, and Breezy!

Hello Jasmine,
I have linked to noble rose press on my blog.
Thank you!
Rachel Grace
I have written a post on my blog about this giveaway. Thank you!
Rachel Grace
I find myself often considering the example of Abigail, David's first wife. When her then-husband refused to reciprocate the kindness David and his men had shown him, Abigail was wise enough to recognize the danger brewing and head it off. I want to be this in tune with the Lord--to have that kind of discernment.
I have often admired the Noble Rose Press dolls! But I do not own any of the sets. I would love to be included in this give-away!
There are so many Godly women in history that it's almost hard to choose! But at the moment I especially enjoy learning about Elizabeth and Corrie Ten Boom. These Godly sisters spent there lives caring for the people around them, never seeming to notice their own discomforts.
Thank you Jasmine, for posting this! ~Reagan Moore.
Suzanna Wesley who prayed with her apron over her head in order to find a "quiet" spot in a house full of children.

Oh my, that first painting she's completed is beautiful! We adopted a daughter from Haiti 7 years ago. As Breezy said in her poem, the "family of birth" doesn't give us worth. It's God and what He chose to do for us that gives us worth.
I'd love to enter! Breezy and Emily have done a truly lovely job making these paper dolls.
As for my choice of a godly woman, I'd have to say Elizabeth Elliot... she has encouraged and inspired me in many ways.

I checked out Breezy's art sale!
Her artwork, like always, is outstanding!
Ok. I have seen a whole lot of girls say their inspiration was Abigail Adams. I have to admit that ever since I was ten, I have shied away from her because of a completely depressing book I read. Could anyone enlighten me and point me to better sources?
