We had two dolls, Kirsten and Bitty. I was really going to focus my collecting on Molly, the only historical that I wanted a complete collection for. I still don't have her, but do have lots of her things!

I was only going to get the birthday, xmas and school outfits and their pets for the other dolls. [img]tongue.gif[/img] NOT!

I was done with Bitty, she had plenty of outfits! [img]wink.gif[/img] We have since added the twins, the tricycle, the highchair, almost all the Bitty Bunch animals, their playhouse and their tea party set. And tonight or tomorrow I'll be adding Kitty and Puppy too to complete that collection as well.

I wasn't going to get Kailey. We already had Kirsten and one blonde was enough. Diana will be getting Kailey for her bday party on Sunday. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Getting Kailey inspired me to find Lindsey, especially after I heard they would be introducing Marisol, another LE. Now have all 3!

Was not interested at all in AGT's! Except for the LE's, I still don't have an AGT, (I'm currently eyeballing the Asian AGT) but have literally more (out at least) for AGT's than for the historicals! I thought you only needed one sport outfit, or one halloween outfit, or one dressy outfit, etc. Oh, but they don't tell you how addicting all of this can be and that these dolls dress 10X better than I do! And they have the cutest things to play with too.

And they have a good little doctor (Diana) to take care of all their ills, and even if one breaks their leg now, they can get along with help from their little crutches (ebay) or cruise around in their new pastel-toned wheelchair (today's code purchase!)

A year ago, I was dreaming of the opportunity to go to an AGP! Now I've gone to Chicago twice and NYC once, and even the NYC trip was just a ploy so I could go to AGP! Sure honey, you go right on ahead and think it was just to celebrate your 50th birthday, that's right!

No one told me that there would be new "friend" dolls, as if the original 8 AG's weren't enough!

Books, oh boy, I have tons of books! And I cannot forget all the wonderful Hallmark items too!

No, no, neither AG or this board came with any of those warnings when I first logged on about a year ago! Shame on all of you! [img]wink.gif[/img]

You have turned me into a collecting, hoarding, stashing, doll-loving fiend! [img]eek.gif[/img]
