Barbie was introduced to the world at the American Toy Fair in New York City. The doll was intended to be a teenage fashion doll. There has been some controversy over Barbie's figure when it realized that if Barbie was a real person her measurements would be an impossible 36-18-38. The Ken doll was named after Ruth's son. Barbie first had bendable legs in 1965. shopping Thu, 17 Jul 2008 04:00:38 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/healthyeatingrecipes Healthy Eating Recipes always used to be boring - they had a reputation for being tasteless, stodgy and quite frankly, not very nice.

But times have changed and with the desire for better health and better food has come a whole new raft of delicious healthy recipes - and yes, you can have chocolate, and cream and all those things and still eat healthy! food Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:11:10 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/customtdesign The perfect T Shirt design is the one you create for yourself and that is exactly what you can do with Custom T Design.

We Quilters browse our books, search out patterns, source supplies, visit shops, buy fabric, get out our quilting machine and our quilting frame, scissors, cutters and needles and settle down to an orgy of creative cutting and sewing using as many techniques as we can to make the finished Quilt an item to treasure, an heirloom for our families and friends to use and enjoy generation after generation. This lens and it's companion Quilting With Friends, and others yet to come will answer all your questions about Quilting - the techniques, the patterns, the supplies you need, all the 'how to' questions you can think of and much more besides. Even if you don't quilt there is lots for you to see and find out - Quilters are friendly folk and we share our lives with each other and pour it all into our Quilts so that they tell a story that will capture your heart and delight your mind.

Building your stash is critical - it means that when the creative urge strikes, or that brilliant idea pops up you have everything you need to hand so that you can start your project while the picture is fresh in your mind and the creative juices are flowing.  The quilt and cushions in the photo came from all the bits of pink and cream I had collected and stored in my stash boxes. This lens is here to provide you with access to all the goodies you need to build that stash.  If I've missed any good resources that you know about leave a message in the Guest Book and I'll add them to the list.

I can eat chocolate anytime, anywhere, anyhow.  Sweet or Savoury - it doesn't matter.  It's not just the taste, it appeals to all the senses, it looks so good as it sits in the box glistening - waiting to be eaten.  It sounds so good as hot chocolate pours thickly into a cup and the 'plop' of the whipped cream as it lands on top. The wonderful rich aroma of chocolate as it tempts you to just another piece.  The feel of the chocolate on your tongue as it slowly dissolves releasing that rich, luscious, sensuous taste that lingers ..... arts Wed, 28 Nov 2007 11:48:56 -0600 http://best.gardener.ever.com/ Each and every one of has it in us to be a great gardener.  It is one of the most satisfying hobbies ever - though in my  case it can be said to be something of an obsession! diy Sat, 17 Nov 2007 02:04:39 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/groups..flaminglacer This group is for Flaming Lacer's lenses - where you can find them all in one place and browse to see which one you want to visit first, and then think about where to go next...
