I love
Andrea's linky party. Almost as much as I love mine! :-) And she is such an amazing friend!!! She's hosting a giveaway of one of hats this week! Go visit her!
This week, the brilliant and adorable Andrea is asking:
What were your two favorite childhood toys?
Sit N' Spin. Fun toy!!! When else is it funny to get your small child dizzy? (Just kidding. Kinda.) Really, I think that this toy was the beginning of my love of roller coasters. The exhilirated, slightly fuzzy feeling is still fun today. :-)
Sweetheart Barbie. Marketed for Valentine's Day...but oddly enough, I got this Barbie for my birthday when I was seven. Yes, my memory
is that good! She has the traditional flowing blonde Barbie hair, super pretty dress and she made kissy noises.
And now...I'm going to show you one of my favorite playmates. This is Munchkin. Her real name is Miscotobe - a completely made up name that originated as Misty, Scottie and Toby; the three boy dogs that family members had recently added. I'd show you my other favorite playmate, Misty...but I can't find a picture of him at the moment.
Anyway...BEST playmates EVER!!!! They let me dress them up, do horsy rides when I was really little and they would actually go down the slide of my swing set with me. As you can see, I've ALWAYS been a dog person. Hahahaha!
