Hi Pat, Hi Sherrie,
It's good to see there are still a few of us around.
Happy New Year everyone.

Right back at you. I'm still a collector but have so much I really haven't added more & am trying to give some away since it seems impossible to sell it. We have an 'Angel Tree ' at church each Xmas, & I came across a little girl requesting 'Barbie stuff" ( something that gets rarer each yr) & I loaded a bout a 3 ft high Xmas bag with diff. sizes & friends of Barbie dolls & a store & other 'Barbie stuff'. I gave more Barbies to the Marine coll. and it didn't make a dent in my room just let me spread out a tad. I've given all I can to my Grand kids but their parents called a halt ( darn ) & they are growing out of dolls anyway. I gave a bunch to the little girl next door including an older 'A frame' Barbie house. I've given lots of 'clones' to a friend who particularly loves them. It's sad I can't sell the more expensive dolls. I was upset that when my mom & grandma who lived in another state...died...that I got no furniture & very little other stuff to remember them by ( went to other relatives who lived there)...but I'm kind of glad now because my 2 grown boys & wives don't want what I have & certainly would not have wanted their stuff. I'm 68 & we have all we need & it should last. My husband & I hope we can stay healthy & vital at least another 15 yrs. before thinking about moving from our one level house into a small apt. but I'd hate to saddle him with all my 100's of dolls ...just in case .

Yes, I'm still here too :-) I didn't chat much, so you may not recognize me. Am only collecting the Fashion Royalties now, but have slowed down immensly. Like you Pat, I've been trying to downsize my Barbies. It's tough. I'll never be able to enjoy all that I have collected.
Hoping you are all still having fun with your dolls. Bet your collecting habits have changed a bit as well :-)
