Barbie Dolls are the Best

As a girl, I loved Barbie Dolls. My niece, appropriately named Barbie, and I would sit for hours and play out weddings, shopping excursions and soap opera fantasies using the Barbies.


The above scrapbook work of art page was created by my other niece, and dear friend, Kimi, dedicated to our real-life Barbie doll.

52 years old, and I still love Barbie!
