4. Cabbage Patch Kids-I still have 4 heads to complete
I loved the cabbage kids, altho I made them for my own kids, I bought heads whenever I found them. I made the bodies and clothes for my own children.
After a long time in a big tin bucket I discovered the heads. Now I am going to make the bodies and dress them, as I am waiting for grandchildren to appear. This takes me back to my own doll days.

6. "After a long time in a big tin bucket I discovered the heads."
If you ever run for President, expect this quote to come back to haunt you.

10. Has she gone missing?
Is that why there is a stamp made of her?

What did you do with the child duckie? Please tell us!
