A belated present from my Aunt the Happy Family Talking Home with African American Pictures, finally found where the batteries go and low and behold it still works, fridge, phone, tub, lullaby. A nice addition, still want to get the Malibu Beach House from the 80's I always wanted but money was tight back then. Lucky for us creativeness was past down from our parents (particularly our mother) my sister came up with the idea to use the books especially the state books as walls, Hawaii and California where good for beach rooms and the desert states weren't too bad either. I also used the inside of one of my dresser little did I know I was ahead of my time, now people are using old solid wood dressers as barbie dollhouses. I also used the cabinets that flanked the fire place we had at one time in the living room. Then in my early teens I used the curio cabinet that we where storing for a cousin. I had been wanting to display my collection once I got my own place but I kept putting it off, as I got my career started, then the cancer hit and juggling cancer and work took up a lot of time.
I have now realized that I need an escape from the stress of the two and why not immerse myself into one of my loves, Barbie/Fashion Doll Diorama's and collectibles, I also have several 1/12 dollhouse and one I believe is 1/18, and lets not forget my HO train that my father I got me for me when I was 7. When I retire which is looking like it will be sooner than anyone thought I plan to put everything back together so I can play with my train in the morning, dollhouses early afternoon and my barbies at night.
