Week 6: What were your hobbies as a child?

When I was a kid, I used to love to play with Matchbox cars and also Barbie dolls. I used to have my own box of cars and I remember that I used to be real careful with them and not smash them up like my brother and his friend did. Sometimes, I would even paint them if they needed a little touch-up. I used to make houses and store-fronts out of boxes and paper and put them on the couch in the living room and play for hours.

With the Barbies, I used to play with them at home but also with my friends. My friend Robin had the plane, my friend Joey had the townhouse and I had the camper. Robin would come to my house and then we would take the camper and the plane down to Joey's house and play.

I also used to crochet - pot holders were the Christmas gift I gave to EVERYONE one year! My friend Joey and I used to make them all the time and we loved it! Her mother used to tease us when we were older and in high school about how many potholders we made. Too funny!
