Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

2 Dolls that I love

LI'L ME DOLLS


I've been trying to collect these very hard to find dolls for years. My sisters & I each had one. I ended up with my red head & Maren's brunette, plus some clothes. Last year I was finally able to buy a copy of Abby's lost blond on E-bay. I'm still looking for more; they are very hard to come by. They were called "Li'l Me Dolls" & were only sold for a year or two in the 1980's. Have you seen them or played with them? Click HERE and HERE and HERE to read more.
(Note: the pictures above came from the links above. I will have to take a picture of my collection)

SNAP 'N STYLE DOLLS


It was last year during my weekly search for Me Dolls that I ran across the "Snap 'n Style Dolls" that Santa brought to Allie & all her cousins last year. They are a similar concept to the Me Dolls, but larger. Allie now has the 4 dolls above & several other outfits. I bought the snowboarding outfit for me, but it has turned out to be her favorite. Last week I was lucky enough to get one of the newest additions, the princess (below right), which sold out in one day. I'm sure Allie will love it Christmas morning! She plays with them everyday & has to sleep with all 4 of hers every night. The fairy (below left) is not available, yet.

I remember playing with those dolls, probably at your house.
