In these days I celebrate my 16th Barbie collecting anniversary. I begann to collect at the end of 1996. Now we have the year 2012.
A long search came to an end
After almost 21 years I finally found the name of a Barbie doll that I saw in a department store when I was six years old. The mysterious doll was nowhere listed in my books. It was strange. I only remembered that she had a lipstick in the box and there was the function to change the lip-colour of the doll. A month ago I found and bought her. Here she comes… Beauty Barbie
Happy New Year 2012
I wish you a Happy New Year 2012.
My first ooak
Today I wanna show you the result from my first ooak-try. I used the head that I have rerooted in March. In the meantime I found a body for the doll and dressed her with my self-made friendship-bracelet dress. To do a single bracelet lasted between two and twenty hours (depending on the pattern). So in general I can say I put a lot of work in this dress. Hope you like it 🙂
In the next weeks to come…
As theme for my next article I will write a bit about the Totally Yoyo -Series from 1998. It was the second series to use the Teen Skipper. At the moment I’m still waiting for the Totally Yoyo Nikki to arrive here. I will post pics from the whole series as far as she arrives here.
Teen Courtney US-Version
In the meantime I made pics from the first Teen Courtney US-Version. Hope you like them.
A happy new Barbie year
Finally I have some free time to write a new article. I was home for Christmas and came back 10 days ago. My Christmas gift was the Pink Splendor Barbie. I wanted her since 1999 when I saw her the first time ( although she was released in 1996). Since the prices for Barbie dolls are not the highest ones in history at the moment I found a seller who sold her for a good price.
To be honest I was amazed when I opened the shipper to get her box out of the shipper. My first thought when I saw her was “wow”. She came in the biggest box I have ever seen anf she filled the box out. I’m happy to have her in my collection now.
My own blog
Finally after several years of trying to get my own page for my hobby my boyfriend convinced me to start it as a blog. In the next days and weeks pictures and articles will follow.
