I was never a doll girl. And I was right in the Barbie era. Guess I knew then she just wasn't realistic. Now if I'd been a girl aka American Girl dolls, I would have been all over those! It will be such fun to have granddaughters to watch where their interests lie. I did, however, love paper dolls and anxiously awaited my mother to finish the McCall's magazine each month so I could have the Betsy page. I enjoyed creating new costumes and settings with her.
That's what inspired me today with Stef's challenge. Cakes, cupcakes, sweet treats! I needed to create a birthday card and I just can't resist vintage images. You'll find my description here. It was just such fun to print and cut...I can't help but being reminded of that saying...'we do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing.' I really do see the wisdom in that! And as for me, I want to play everyday! How about you?

I absolutey love this and glad I found your blog. I have added you to my Google Reader so I don't miss anything else!
I loved paperdolls too! I liked dolls but more for all their accessories rather than playing with them! although we did sew Barbie outfits!
Love this sweet image and you wonderful vintage b'day card - great creation from today's inspiration!
I've been playing everyday now that summer is here! Love all the wonderful details in this piece.
oh yes, I play every day too. I love your card susan! And I felt the same way about barbies and could not imagine having to walk on tippy toes all day long....
