Okay, yeah, this is from my flickr page. But, I wanted to show off the fun things you can do with fd's flickr toys.
One of the things is build mosaics of your photos. Once you plug in your photos URLs and set your display, they create a mosaic for you to save.
They also give you the html code to put in the description, so that people can click to the original pictures. Fun thing to use.

Flick Friday: Meow
I found this picture from Sparklerama last year. She builds and decorates dollhouses for her Blythe dolls. In this photo, her Blythe is chilling with her blue Kitty. She's surrounded by her favorite movie posters. What more does a girl need?

Throwback Thursday: Oh Barbie, you're such a lucky Gal
Narrator: Tabitha of The Pairabirds
Receiving the Sears Christmas catalogue signified the beginning of theGoing Broke Christmas season. Children gathered their markers, crayons and notebook papers (scissors and glue, for those who couldn't write) and wrote up their wishlist for Santa.
High on the list for Barbie fans... the Barbie Dreamhouse.... what a dream. Not only was Barbie the prettiest, the smartest, the most athletic, the most popular, had the worlds hottestnon-committing beau, but she had the most beautiful house in the world *glitter glitter*
I didn't get a DreamHouse. I got the Fun and Fold House which was pretty cool. But, it lacked essentials, which seems to be common among most of Barbie's playhouses . Like a bathroom.

Is there a point?
Spotted at a local thrift store. The candle is of a bear. It is entirely made of wax. So, when you burn the candle, the poor bear is going to look like the final scenes of Child's Play 2. Maybe there is a deeper meaning....but, I'm betting on the "not well thought out design" scenario

Flickr Friday: Clowning Around
Narrator: Tabitha of The Pairabirds
Stoopidgerl makes really nifty resin jewelry. I bought a necklace for a Christmas gift last year. So, I was happy to bump into her Flickr account. Among pictures of her excellent jewelry was this gem. Click on the picture to see the description.

Throwback Thursday: Cricket
Narrator: Tabitha of The Pairabirds
In the mid 80s there was a cute (sorta creepy now) talking doll named Cricket. She was the girly-girl version of Teddy Ruxpin. You put one of her Cricket tapes in her back and she would read a story to you. Complete with eye and mouth movement. And, according to the commercial, if you hold Cricket in your arms and swing her with love, little cartoon birdies will appear and sing in tune to your swing.
I also remember (please leave a comment, if you remember this part) that at the end of the commercial Cricket gets up and skips away. Maybe turning into a cartoon version of herself. I'm beginning to think that I'm crazy because I can not seem to find any reference to that part of the ad. I thought Playmates took that part out of the commercial because kids thought that Cricket could actually walk, Chucky style. It may just be the Child's Play nightmares blending in with 80s toy advertisements in my mind.
I digress. My cousin and I loved the doll. She got one for Christmas that year. She got the black version, with the pretty mocha skin, black curls, and dark eyes. We kept her in a child sized rocking chair while Cricket lovingly read us a story. Contrary to what the commercial shows, there is no way a child is going to be able to swing that doll around in circles. The dolls head alone had to way a good 5 pounds.
Another "nifty" thing about Cricket is that she could play any cassette tape. Her mouth wouldn't move to the song, if I remember correctly. But, my cousin and I were determined to play our Michael Jackson tape through Cricket. It was a little odd (or not) to hear MJ belting out in his famous falsetto through a curly haired, doll in a pink sweater and pink hightops. But, it was entertaining.
Here's to you, Cricket.
