Happy Birthday! I'm not a 13th bday, but Friday the 13ths are by far my fav days! :) I wish I remembered the name of my fav toy but it was essentially a plastic grid (very similar to plastic canvas) and it came with hundreds of plastic pieces that fit into the grid. They were different colors and shapes (1 sq, 2-4 sq in a line, 4 in a square, etc.) and the design booklet that came with it was for the Muppets. It was great to be able to "paint" the Muppets in this way!

Happy Birthday Ellie! 13 is my lucky number, too, as my father was born on the 13th - now I doubly like you and your blog :)

Hope you have a wonderful and blessed birthday!

My favorite toy was a little pink rag doll I used to call baby doll. I lost her during a family camping trip and cried for weeks. I got baby doll #2 who is yellow and very loved, but... just never was the same. :)

Hugs,
Jamie

I loved my Thumbelina doll. OK, so you'd wind her up & it would look like she was convulsing, but I still loved her anyway.

Bella said...

I've been doing paper crafts all my life. My mom told me she had to hide the trash can from me because I'd create "art" out of it. I'm 21 so I guess 21 years. ;-)

Bella said...

I'd say you're 36 because that's what your profile says. But that's not what you asked us to do - I think you look 30.

Anne said...

I remember a purple stuffed turtle with a key hole under its belly; I loved that! and of course my little pony anything!

Christy Lee said...
