Limited Edition 25th anniversary Cabbage Patch Kids
Did you know that over 115 million Cabbage Patch Kids have been adopted since 1983? They hold the record for the best selling large doll of all time.
I’ll admit to you that I owned at least 7 of those kids when I was little. In fact, Cabbage Patch dolls are the only dolls that ever won my heart as a little girl. I wasn’t much into dolls, and I’m sure a few people will pop by to tell you how as a child I melted the Barbie dolls my aunt gave me for my birthday and holidays. They just weren’t my thing.
I didn’t want to be a blond girl with boobies to kingdon come and I sure as heck didn’t want to wear those dang shoes. Did you see what they did to poor Barbie’s feet? Who wants to walk around tippie toed all the time.
Cabbage Patch Kids were different. They wanted to be kids, not grownups, not anything else, just kids being kids and having fun. And that was something that had my attention better than any other doll on the planet ever could. 25 years and we’re all still kids. That couldn’t be more true!
I was lucky enough to get one of these great 25th anniversary Cabbage Patch Dolls in the original Cabbage Patch design. As these adorable cuties reach store shelves you’ll want to go Find Your Match in the Cabbage Patch. Each Cabbage Patch doll is still 100 percent original and unique. They have names, birthdays, adoption certificates and I’m sure you fondly recall that they have autographed bottoms. (The name Xavier Roberts is so permanently implanted in my memory from changing the diapers and clothes on my dolls that Xavier just happens to be Luke’s middle name.)
Now, as most of you already know I have a house full of testosterone here and the boys were less than interested in the adorable cutie that I received. I was tempted to keep her all for myself, because let’s face it I’m a kid at heart. Then I toyed with the idea of giving it to my niece for her upcoming birthday. But, with all these Oliver boys running around she’s become a bit of a tomboy, dolls really just aren’t her thing.
So I came to a decision. I’m here to give away my Limited Edition 25th Anniversary Cabbage Patch Doll to one lucky reader of this blog. This contest will start now and run through Friday September 26, 2008 - which is, funny enough, my wedding Anniversary!
