Gettin' Fancy Kimberly

When I was growing up, my brother bought me a Kimberly doll & I absolutely loved it. I mean seriously... they made a doll with my name, how cool is that?

Well several years ago I decided that one day I would search until I found them still in the box & purchase each one if my pockets could afford it! My mom still has my Kimberly doll at their house although I'm not quite sure where all her accessories are located, she does however have on the clothes she came with.

GUESS WHAT? For my late birthday gift, my wonderful hubby found one on ebay & bought it for me! The one I had as a girl, is cheerleader Kimberly, but this one is "Gettin' Fancy Kimberly". How totally awesome.

I know some might think I shouldn't be wishing for a doll at such an older age in life, but hey I don't really care what anyone else thinks. I'm still a kid at heart anyways AND come on who wouldn't want to collect a doll that was named after them?

What is funny is that I posted a blog about the Kimberly doll back on December 22, 2009. Click here to read: kimberly doll.

So to my wonderful hubby... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH & I love you!

When I was growing up, my brother gave me a Kimberly doll for obvious reasons.  I loved her & she was well played with & my mom still has her at their house & most of her original outfit is still in tact.  My Kimberly doll took many baths, played outside in the dirt, the whole nine yards.  So needless to say she's seen her days & she went through allot.

For many years now I've always dreamed of collecting the Kimberly dolls, but of course they don't make them anymore.  Although I have found some out there for sale... if only I could afford to buy them that would be a dream come true.  I have no idea how much they cost back n the day, but nowdays they're going for around $50.00 depending on the condition.

The Kimberly doll I had was the cheerleader one.  I found some pics online so I stole copied them to post them on here in case someone doesn't remember this awesome doll from back n the day!

There are several different ones out there, but they are hard to find.

I don't really collect anything & haven't ever really, but I would like to someday be able to have these few Kimberly dolls if possible.

My picture is... to have a room with all my scrapbook, sewing, crafts stuff & have one shelf along the top of the wall with these dolls displayed.  Sounds crazy maybe, but that's just my small wish & dream.

With Christmas just a few days away, things like this pop into my mind.
