It was one of my best birthday gifts...don't remember which birthday it was, but it will always be one I don't forget. You see, my mom had made a treasure hunt for my gifts when I got home from school. It was so exciting to read her poems to get the clue and then find the next gift. I remember they were mostly centered around art, so Fashion Plates and the Spirograph were sure hits, along with markers and colored pencils. I've always loved drawing as a kid, so she knew what to get me. Those were some of my favorite gifts. Wish I still had those plates though, they could be worth something now.

Wow, just remembered something!
After reading Chrissy's blog today about "Doll Maker", she reminded me of a childhood toy I had from when I was 10 or so...Fashion Plates! Remember these? Of course today's version is all electronic, but I remember spending hours and hours mixing and matching and then coloring to make the perfect wardrobe!
