I love the Betsy McCall paper dolls. I used to buy the Mary Englebreight magazine just for the memories. Each one had a doll cutout page (heavier paper or card stock). I think I will be printing some of the Betsy dolls. Sure, I need more things like that. lol

I remember waiting almost reverently to get our first glimps of the dolls each month. I think there was a year or so where each doll was from a different country and we could hardly wait to see where the next one would be from. I still love paper dolls. And I like that the cloths don't have to be cut out any more. I ruined many dresses before I was a very good cutter.

Oh yeah, had the rag curls every saturday night for sunday school and church on Sunday. I am one of 4 daughters and we all got ragged.

I sure do! I haven't seen them in years!! It was always a special day when my grandmother gave me the new ones.

I was going to buy the magazine when my girls were little, but I didn't because they had no paperdolls anymore. It was a great marketing strategy; wonder why they stopped and became like a thousand other magazines...

I remember playing with Betsy McCall paper dolls. I had to wait to see what was on the back of the page before I could cut them out. I didn't dare cut into a "story" to get my dolls!
