Unknown said... [Reply]: Anytime I think of my favorite childhood "toys" my first thoughts are immediately of books. I was an early reader (1st or 2nd grade level at age 4), and couldn't get enough. The library was my mother's best friend. I also had a Holly Hobby friend doll named "Carrie". As my name is Carey, an unusual spelling for the 70's, she became an instant favorite.
Hmmm... I'm now thinking I should put an authentic, vintage Carrie doll on my Christmas wish list. =D

Thank you for participating so generously in this giveaway!; December 9, 2013 at 12:50 PM

Tina said... [Reply]: The Christmas that stands out to me as a child was when I was 9 years old. That was the first year with my step Dad. There is 6 of us kids in the family and he came in and took on the role of Father to us all, as if that wasn't enough of a gift. But that Christmas, my mother and dad went shopping for days and each day came home with so many bags. My brothers and I decided we couldn't wait, so we waited until they were asleep and we found all the gifts, they were in a closet and that closet was tightly packed. The gifts were all wrapped so my brothers gave up, but not me, I unwrapped a few of mine and made sure I didn't tear the paper and put the paper back on when I saw what it was. Well it turns out I wasn't fooling anyone, on Christmas morning we all ran into the living room and we were stepping over presents,( boy I couldn't believe it ). My dad and mother found out what I did and decided NOT to put my presents under the tree and did I cry and cry. My dad talked my mom into giving them to me, 2 hours later. I had gotten every Barbie I asked for.; December 9, 2013 at 2:58 PM

Mhairi said... [Reply]: I was given my bear when I was born and he is still living with me although my daughter has stolen him and he sleeps in her bed now.
He went everywhere with me and after an unfortunate incident with a yoghurt container and a pot belly stove in which his face got burnt he had to have a full facial reconstruction. My mum had just started making teddy bears and used a white fur with a bit of potpourri to mask the smell of smoke. Then my grandma donated beautiful green glass boot buttons for his eyes. Poor bear, about a year later a new puppy chewed his nose off so my dad had to carefully drill holes in the nose so that it could be resewn on. Thankfully that is all the facial trauma he has suffered from this far. Although he is getting a bit thread bare he is still the best bear a girl could ever want to have in her life.; December 10, 2013 at 5:44 AM

Elizabeth S. said... [Reply]: When I was 5, my mom made me a sculpted face doll that was almost as big as I was (I was only 5). However at the time she made it, she didn't have time to put on the yarn hair before she gave it to me. For two years, my bald headed dolly and I were bestest friends and she even stayed by my side through surgeries and hospital stays. When I was 7, my mom finally got around to putting the hair on my dolly, and thought it would be fun to surprise me with it. I came home one day from school and was horrified to find my dolly with hair! It was _so_ wrong. I wanted to hide in my room and cry. But I could see my mom was so excited and wanted to surprise me, that I faked my happiness and saved my tears for under covers that night. I got over it in a few days, but lesson learned about surprising kids. Now my mom and I laugh about it and she told me that at the time she gave it to me, she realized that maybe it shouldn't have been a surprise ;) Thirty-one years later, my dolly still has a treasured spot in my heart and tucked in a special spot in the closet. My husband thinks she's an old worn out, kinda creepy doll, but to me she's just as special as 30 years ago. :); December 11, 2013 at 10:45 AM

Lyn said... [Reply]: I had a 'teddy dog' I was given shortly after I was born. It was like a teddy bear in that it had arms, legs, and sat like a teddy bear, but it had a nose and ears like a dog.

Jeannie said... [Reply]: The best toy I ever had was made by my Grandma when I was still too little to use it! A flooring store went out of business near where she worked, so she grabbed all of the carpet sample books before they went into a dumpster, took them home, and made giant floor turtles for me and my brother and my cousins. I still remember playing cowboys with my brother, riding our turtles into the sunset. The last four - the ones at Grandma's house - finally gave up the ghost when the house flooded a few years ago. Those turtles made it almost 30 years.; December 11, 2013 at 2:12 PM
