I hope it's now a bit more quiescent. <br /><br />Rachel graduated from Brown last weekend, with honors and won her department's outstanding research award. We are all very proud of her. <br /><br />The good news is that she has a very good job next year. The bad news is that it is in France (bad from her mother and grandmother's perspectives, great from hers)Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698357440367685868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-15737509706376513302009-05-30T09:53:12.519-05:002009-05-30T09:53:12.519-05:00So happy you have commented again Elaine. i love t...So happy you have commented again Elaine. i love to hear from you.

I had boxes of them cut out and would change their outfits over and over again. <br /><br />By the time my daughter came along, they were the punch out type - not nearly as much fun.<br /><br />You've lured me back out of lurking modeElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698357440367685868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-82758533803500842662009-05-29T13:27:21.256-05:002009-05-29T13:27:21.256-05:00I loved follow the dots too.

I loved to cut them out so much I would cut them for anyone who asked. Any other paper doll lovers? There was a large store in Old Orchard when it foirst opened, I go way back here, and they had the most amazing selection of colpring books, dollow the dots and paper dolls. Is anyone old enough to remember that store I can't think of the name.Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-33243706662783096422009-05-28T17:31:55.419-05:002009-05-28T17:31:55.419-05:00I learned lots from "The Knitting Bible".

Isn't that neat!!<br /><br />BTW didn't they outlaw Barbie for being too "womanly"?Katherinehttp://blog.knittingonthego.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-13049129643640042142009-05-27T23:03:45.926-05:002009-05-27T23:03:45.926-05:00Oh how I loved follow the dots.
