My favorite childhood Christmas

It has been a busy, busy weekend and I am wondering, "Where did the time go?"  I completed my latest creation and I made some great purchases on Etsy and Ebay to use in future projects.  I worked in my flower garden and had good family time. I have decided I am going to try my hand at making Barbie clothes; afterall, my grandmother made most of my Barbie clothes and they were alway unique to my likes. My first Barbie came in the black and white strapless swimsuit. She had black hair pulled up into a pony tail. I can close my eyes and think back to that Christmas and I am certain I can smell the vinyl on my Barbie case. The white canopy bed with the pink ruffled plastic bedding, the white "leather" jacket with the red and black plaid overnighter and black leotards with a blue and white hoodie were goodies from Santa.  I knew then, I would never ever forget that Christmas and I was right...I never have.  As years passed I added more and more to my Barbie collection and then when the time came I handed it all up to my daughters. Such wonderful memories. Have a special week. Never lose your inner child.
