Not really an update...

Just letting anyone who's curious know that I'm still alive. I haven't been able to get my hands on the new American Girl books (moved 2500 miles away, difficulty getting a library card, library not having the books, sold the car, another kid on the way...). Still trying, though!

In the meantime, my mom sent me this picture. I made a Kid-Kit when I was younger and the box is in my parents' garage. It's being used to store some of their stuff; no fun kid things inside. I remember I used to have picture books and little toys inside, and I'm happy to say that I'm much better at writing with glitter now, and writing in general:

I was recently swept up in a wave of nostalgia and started searching online for some of my old favourite books. I wound up here. Like you, I did have most of the BSC collection--yay mail order collections. Unlike you, my mother encouraged me to get rid of them. Not so much yay. So props to your mom. I also had neighbours who had the entire American Girl collection (back then there were only 5 girls). In Canada, that's a big deal. American Girl only started becoming available in Canada AFTER Samantha and Felicity were archived. I managed to snatch up the Molly Series before it was too late, though. But I digress. Just wanted to thank you for the memories. These two series formed the foundation of my love of reading, and it was really nice to find a little bit of them again. I'm so thankful you took the time to do this.

I'm glad you've enjoyed the posts, Renee! Thanks for the kind words. I'm still hoping to get my hands on the new books, but it's taking a while.
