I'VE BEEN ULTRA BUSY CREATING MY (DRUMROLL, PLEASE) "BARBIE ROOM!"..WHEN I LOST JAKE, LIL' JOE, CHARLIE & THEN ABBY, I WAS SO DEVISTATED I COULD HARDLY FUNCTION FOR SOME TIME, BUT WITH JESS KEEPING ME BUSY, & TIME TAKING THE SHARP EDGES OFF THE PAIN, I BEGAN TO SEE THAT I HAD EMPTY SPACE IN MY BACK ROOM. MIND YOU, IT WAS FULL OF STUFF THAT I WASN'T USING & THE CLUTTER WAS REALLY GETTING TO ME. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLES BARBIE DISPLAYS, & DECIDED TO DEDICATE ONE WHOLE ROOM TO MY BARBIE COLLECTION..EASIER SAID THAN DONE.THE WALLS ARE UGLY.... HOLES CUT IN THEM THEN FILLED WITH DIFFERENT WALLBOARD,,, & I CAN'T STAND LONG ENOUGH TO REACH SHELVES..UGH! SO AFTER I GOT RID OF ALL THE STUFF, SON PATRICK PAINTED THE WALLS WHITE, & I BOUGHT A 6FT WHITE DRESSER FROM RESTORE. THEN HE MOVED A DESK FROM THE FRONT ROOM, & I PAINTED THAT PINK,,THAT'S WHERE I'M AT NOW, & BY GEORGE, IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK PRETTY GOOD..IT WILL NEVER BE AS LOVELY AS SOME OF THE ROOMS I'VE SEEN ON LINE, BUT I'M HAPPY WITH IT. I KNOW HOW LUCKY I AM TO HAVE THE SPACE, & I'M PREETY DARN PROUD OF MYSELF FOR TAKING ALL THIS ON..NOT TOO SHABBY FOR AN OLD LADY IN HER 90'S, EH? I HAVE TO RELEARN MY CAMERA, BUT AS SOON AS I CAN, I'D LIKE TO SHARE PICS WITH YOU..LET ME KNOW IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE MY PROGRESS, & THANKS FOR READING ALL THIS...
