So.. The other day I was at one of my all time favorite store (World Market,) and I noticed these cute little dolls. I was instantly intrigued, so I had to read up about them.
The dolls are known as "Guatemalan Worry People" and they are super special! (Here's what the back of the packaging says)
"An old story tells that when the Maya People of Guatemala had worries, they would tell them to the worry people. At night they would place the worry people under their pillows and when they awoke, the worry people had taken their worries away."
Very cool, huh? I for one, have lots of stress, and worries, so I really appreciate these dolls.
The best part is that these dolls are handmade by the Maya People, who live in the highlands of Guatemala, so they support a good cause :).
When I saw these at the store, I just had to get one. So I got one for myself.. and....... I got one for one of you, because I just had to share the joy of these wonderful dolls with one of you :)!

i'm a very stressed person, and i'm too emotional so i even take worries i shouldn't. So far it's my dog and cat that help me to relex when it's too much but i guess they would want some time for them too

i want to win one because im the worlds worst worrier,hope it will help.
ReplyDeleteI think the Mayan people are a fascinating culture. They were on par with the Greeks and Romans in terms of telling time, building roads and bridges and erecting giant structures to their gods. I already have many 'artifacts' in my home and would love to add these.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not usually one on superstitions & such, but these remind me of my Nana & I've always had an affinity towards them. They make you smile!

I would tell it all my worries xD
ReplyDeleteI would love to win one because I had one when I was a kid and it really made me feel better. I would like to give one to my son to make him feel better
ReplyDeleteIt just seems like every time I turn around there's something else that I'm worried about. As a result, I would like to give these worry dolls away to my friends and family for their worries. That would make me feel better and, therefore, help me with my worries!
ReplyDeleteMy puppy would love to play with it.

I'd like to have a worry person because I carry a lot inside me. My husband has his own stresses and I don't want to add to his burden, so I don't always tell him everything that worries me. A little Worry Person doesn't have anything else to bother them, so I wouldn't feel bad making them listen to my problems. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm worrying all the time too! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway! I hope I win!
ReplyDeleteI used to have some of these and I really liked them. These would make a good gift...everyone has worries!

ReplyDeleteIf it's for a good cause, then I'm good. :)
