I Like

did you ever receive a gift as a child/teen that you really wanted and were totally excited to receive? tell us about it. If not, have you ever gotten a great gift at Christmas?

Yes, I received a lovely baby doll when I was 5ish.  I still have that doll!  She has such a cute face.  If I weren't so lazy I would take a photo of her!  She is still in terrific condition because didn't play with her a lot.  I mostly just admired her.  My second granddaughter has taken a liking to her and enjoys carrying her around.  I LOVE that!  It warms my heart every time she does.  I remember my Mom made at least one outfit for her.  I don't know what happened to her original dress.  There was a lot of lace on it so it may have fallen apart.  

A favourite gift as an adult came from my sweet hubby.  He gave me a lovely strand of pearls.  I wore them constantly and had to have them restrung a few times.  I stopped wearing them when we had kids.  I should start wearing them again!  On second thought maybe not with grandbabies that like to grab.  

What fun to take a stroll down memory lane.
