Oh and I just remembered this, when my mom was broke and we were bored with the paper dolls we had, my sister and I would cut out the pics from clothing ads in the newspaper and use them for paper dolls...It was a fun and frugal thing to do!!!  |

My friend had two older sisters, who were good at all these things, I beleive it was because they were genuine baby boomers unlike me who is at the tail end.
Once they cleaned out the calf shed after they had grown and it was a great cubby we call them. Our dog had a gorgeous kennel we used that once as well. I have a magazine that has new cubbies and the girls are dressed up and use old teapots from the 60s, you know the metal ones? Did you have those?
