The 1st one is the Illusion Masquerade Gala, I posted a pic of her on S4F a while ago when I first bought her, but now shes out and in the case. The 2nd is the Christian Dior Paris that my husband got me for our Anniversary. And the 3rd is of Nolan Millers Sheer Illusion that I just got yesterday (shes the one in the middle of the picture).

And believe me I was one of those Beanie Baby problems....>>> I still have some and I want to get rid of them but I need to find someone who will buy them. But with the exception of the Beanie Buddy Bears. Those are the bigger beanie babies. They are called Beanie Buddies. I have alot of the Bears only. And I won't get rid of those. I have them sitting in my bedroom on a shelf that lines across the top wall around the bedroom. Love my bears.

Yippee!!! :cheers:
Oh, I got to get cracking on here posting my little heart out!!
Not lotions though. Because I have to use fragrance free lotions. That's why I love body washes and Bars of soap. The smell doesn't linger. And I still feel clean and lady like.
Hey Laura do you remember all those lip glosses from Avon back in the 80's?? Like the Hamburger and the Fried Egg and stuff like that? Well, I bought some on ebay like 2 years ago because well, it's a long story but I was trying to actually find that strawberry that opened in half.
When I was a little girl like in elementary or so. This girl had one and I just had to have one, because I feel in love with it. Well, you know little kids don't have the money to buy stuff all we knew how to do was trade things with one another right? Well, anyhow I was so determined to get this strawberry that had different lipglosses on each side of the berry when you opened it. To me low and behold it was like !!! Something I just had to have. So I started to barter with the girl. I started to ask her if she could trade me the strawberry for something of mines she wanted. I would tell her of all sorts of stuff I had at my house in my room and we finally , after much, VERY much begging and pleading she finally gave in and traded the strawberry with me. OMG...for a child it was a big deal. I thought to myself. Wow, I have like the coolest thing ever!!!! Girl....you would never know what happened to me that day in school. .......lets' say that strawberry never made it to my house. I lost it in school that day and I can't tell you how much I cried my eyes out. > But anyhow...years went by and by,,,and I would go to flea markets , yard sales, goodwills to seek out this strawberry I had once lost as a child to make things right in my world. Yeah, I know stupid to most people but hey....shoot...I needed closer with this thing, so I set out to find this strawberry from Avon. Okay. Then I moved here, and I met this lady who sold Avon and asked her about it and if she remembered this so called strawberry with the lipglosses in side on each side. She said she did but didn't think the company had it in stock since it was no longer a new or up to dated item.
But one day...someone told me about Ebay. And how it worked. And how you could find anything there. So I thought to myself ...yeah right...I had almost given up....when I started to look it up online Laura I found everything else there BUT the strawberry. So it started this big aw in me that I needed those too. Until one day I told all these people on Ebay that I was looking for this particular strawberry and that they would keep there eyes and ears open for it. Well, one day...in my private messages on there , this lady left me a message that she had one she bought from someone who had lots of stuff she kept over the years and was just getting rid of them and wanted to sell them on Ebay. OMG>>>when I went to look at the picture of this strawberry...THERE IT WAS!! I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL A DREAM!!! COULD IT BE??
I mean, I was asking myself for awhile there if in my childhood maybe it was all just a dream and this never happened and this strawberry never did exist. But after Actually seeing it online in a picture....OMG>>it all was true. It was that strawberry. I wanted it. I didn't care....I needed it. And I bought it and now it's mine at last...waiting for it to come in the mail was the hardest thing ever I had to wait for in the mail, needless to say. When the box came to me, I opened it carefully thinking OMG....I hope it is in good condition.
And it was!!!!! :cheers:
I started at that thing in my hand for hours just realizing that I made closer with something from my childhood's past. I know to some it might not be a big deal. But then again, when your a child things like that are. So I kept going online because since now my daughter heard about my story....THE STRAWBERRY STORY ...now she wanted one too. Plus she thought it was so cute a pretty. (Of couse we took out the old lipglosses and cleaned it out) So I began the hunt for another one. Surley I thought this is one thing hard to come by just cause I found one doesn't exactly mean I'll find another. But I did, and now she has one too!!! :cherry:
Not only do I have the strawberry, I have all the other that came out during that era.
Just thought I'd share this little story with you all. I know it may not be a big deal to some, and some might get it and understand it, but in any case it was my thing, and I don't care what people think. I found my childhood strawberry that never made it home.
But now after what seems like years, and years and years later. Now it's home.
