Hi June, Great find! Definetely worth the $2.00! Yes, there are people who can fix the nose nips. It is one of those things I have never learned to do, but there are people who do great work. Ask on Vicky's board and I am sure there is someone there who can be of help. I found a bubble a few weeks ago for $2.00 too, but she needed A LOT more work. I had to repaint, clean and reset the hair, and get her a new body, but she needed me! LOL
I did want to share my latest find. I picked up this lovely number 3 at an estate sale last week for $100.00 I never thought to own one of these, and I am just thrilled with her. I sit and stare at her, and when I am bored with that I take a whiff! ( for those of you who don't know 1,2s and 3s smell like crayons!) She is dressed in a kimono that a great friend got for me.

I also looked at the 2003 line, and there was not a lot there that I am crazy about. Loved the Alice in Wonderland set, and will for sure get those. I did really like the fashion model case. Kind of nice to see an adult case. Was not crazy about the Ken in the 007 set. Did like the outrageous dress on the Mackie. Most of the rest don't do one thing or another for me. Kinda like the AA dolls of the world princess, but it bothers me that she has bare feet in the high heel pose. Would have been nice to see the skipper leg mold that has those nice dainty flatter feet. Oh well, more money for Candis!

Hi. I had an incredible find: a brunette bubble cut barbie in somewhat good condition for $2.00. Her arms and legs are perfect; has all the nail polish intact on her hands; none on her toes. Hair is perfect; facial paint good; hair perfect; no green ear. Problems: she has a chip out of her nose...is this fixable by a doll artist? Left breast is slightly "caved in". She came with a vintage barbie wedding dress..appears in good condition...some mending necessary but not "trashed". Also a poodle parade jacket, slightly faded. Thaks, June --

Reflections, January 2002 "Cycles"
All things begin, therefore all things must end. To every opening, there is a closing. To every ending, a new beginning: A cycle of pain; a cycle of growth; and finally, a cycle of healing. For every lesson learned, a painful mistake in memory. Allows cycles to conclude, but do not be stuck in one. To be stuck in a cycle is to never learn, never change your behavioral patterns. To heal, one must allow the healing cycle to take place: change, forgive, and grow. The life cycle: birth, life, death, resurrection. The work cycle: education, training, new job, job ends, new opportunity found.
