I was really too old to play with dolls, but I got swept up in the craziness of the time. I remember my mom calling around to lots of stores and going to several. We finally found a Toys R Us that had a wait list. I don't remember what number we were, but it seemed to take weeks and weeks for mine to come in. What was unfortunate tho was that once your number was called, you had no choice in picking which doll you wanted. They just handed you one. :( Perhaps because I was a bit too old to play with dolls or because I hadn't gotten to pick mine out personally, I never really played with my Cabbage Patch Kids doll :(<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964474921825551452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162462957069518522.post-67372569809419412712012-08-14T16:29:27.072-04:002012-08-14T16:29:27.072-04:00Well I found your blog while I was searching for a...Well I found your blog while I was searching for a picture of my plastic balloons for my post on my blog.

I told my other dolls that I wouldn't forget them just because I got the cabbage patch doll! LOL!<br /><br />I got another one or two. I do recall getting one that had my name! Her name was Valerie, which is spelled differently than my name which is Valarie.<br /><br />I also had the cabbage patch pet, a Koosa. I named her Cindy. She had a collar on where I put her name!
