31 Days of Crafting - Day Nine - Happy Sweet Sixty Barbie!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARBIE!!!

Ya'all know this day is really important to me. I've loved Barbie dolls since I was three years old.  Today she's sixty years old, and I think that's the most remarkable thing.  Every year I celebrate the doll that brought me so much joy as a child, even as a tween.  She's still bringing me joy, just in a different way.


I rarely put details inside my cards, but I did add something inside this one, because it's a special card.


And I just wanted to share the showcase photo I took of this card, too.  I never had an original Barbie of course, but she's very very special.  I found these minis last year at a Hallmark, and I adore them.  The one on the left is Totally Hair Barbie, who was my favorite doll I ever had.  I had really long hair as a child so this was super special to me.  The doll on the right, of course, is the original 1959 Ponytail Barbie. Can you believe she was $3?  Outfits were $1.  Crazy!!!



Just a few challenges:




Thanks so much for looking and happy crafting.  Laters!!!
