My younger sister out grew them sooner than I did. Oh well! ;) Your photos and outfits are swoon worthy.

Love that your Mother made some outfits - very elegant with the fish net stockings.<br />I used to enjoy playing with my dolls and making them clothes.<br />Mine was a Cindy doll.<br />Oh and some of my dolls had the haircut by me too - funny!<br /><br />Happy week<br />hugs<br />Carolyn<br />Draffin Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448539647442095635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044188580228571201.post-32542443215495409152014-03-18T23:00:26.962-07:002014-03-18T23:00:26.962-07:00Sheri,

So, I really appreciate this. How awesome that your mama sewed your Barbie outfits. The haircut cracked me up. :)<br /><br />Great quote. Thanks so much for sharing. I've been meaning to tell you that you inspired me so much the other day with that quote from Abraham Lincoln and the photo of that tree. Soon after I saw that post, I looked through some old photos on my computer and typed up that quote in photoshop and posted it to my facebook wall. It was such an inspiring quote. Thanks so much for sharing that. I think I'll even post it on my blog soon. :)<br /><br />Love to you!<br />Heidihi-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194003093055617551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044188580228571201.post-55652825290363185342014-03-18T19:04:28.669-07:002014-03-18T19:04:28.669-07:00Dear Sheri,

I don't have a single thing from my childhood except memories of loving dolls (which I still do) and dollhouses (which I still love.)<br /><br />Enjoyed your story about Barbies.<br /><br />I have a follower from Spain whose entire BLOG is on Barbies. She creates the most incredible scenes using the dolls. Very imaginative!<br /><br />Take care and enjoy each moment.

How I love a positive light on Barbie. Poor girl takes too many negative punches nowadays. I played with her for SO MANY YEARS, and together we certainly stretched my imagination's muscle. She always holds a very special place in my heart. I just read another lovely post about her this weekend via Beverly's Pink Saturday, where I learned that Barbie just turned 55 this year on March 9. To think that she was only four years older than me all this time. hahahaha<br />Yes, I have a couple of dolls from my childhood that mean a lot, one actually from Cuba. <br />Loved this today.<br />Happy St. Patrick's!<br />xoxo'sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044188580228571201.post-85627581398745469762014-03-17T05:44:35.906-07:002014-03-17T05:44:35.906-07:00Omg wat a special post.

One year for Christmas I received a Barbie doll case. And it was pink with glitter all over it. My excitement was over the top. Unfortunately I don't have her or the case anymore. :(<br /><br />I do still have a leather pouch that my cousin gave to me. She made it in summer camp. I showed it to her a few years ago, and she was so pleasantly surprised that I still had it.
