Two Crazy Crafters

I thought with next week being Christmas I would show you some Holiday Barbie's .
Mattel started the Holiday Barbie line in 1988. It's also one of the most collected themes.




These are not mine! But so that you can see what they all look like I found this photo from an ebay auction listing.

I don't have all of them, maybe not even half. Here a couple of the from my collection.

In 1993 Hallmark started making ornaments to match the line of Holiday Barbie.

Here is one of my favorite Barbie's. It's an Avon exclusive.

Until a couple years ago, Sam's Club would come out with a special edition Barbie at Christmas. I was lucky enough to get one the last year they had one which was our first year as a member.

This Winter Ballerina Barbie was a recent find at a thrift store.
You can tell she's been out of the box, but to still have it was quite something.

I know this sounds like I am getting off the Barbie subject but it comes back into the story.
Do you ever notice how when you're working on a craft project or doing anything really important that somehow whatever you needed just disappears? Personally, I think there are little craft gnomes(Mine's name is Squatsy) that hide in the corner of your room and when you turn your head they run up and grab your glue stick and then sit there and snicker at you while you start going through your mess of paper scraps, and crawling around on the floor looking for it.

Well, I had a small piece of paper on top of an unstable pile of patterns and cards that tumbled over on the floor, so naturally, he ran up and grabbed that little piece of paper knowing I would need it soon and now he won't give it back!
So this little piece of lost paper has a picture of Barbie from a vintage booklet that I was making a set of tags with.

Just as soon as I find that piece of paper I will list my set of 3 Barbie tags in our etsy shop.

I hope the rest of your week is filled with Holiday happiness, Lindsey
