Hi!,
Late getting these up, things got fast and furious and we were swamped. There were two table events and the Barbie Fan Club event. As some of you might guess, I don't sleep. It eventually catches up with me. Anyway, enjoy day 5!
Linda and Marcy
Marcy showing off her splits and a shot of our room.
This is the "wall of fame" It shows how our Barbie love all began. The first pic is the only known pic of me with Barbie as a child. (They didn't have many cameras back then!) The photos progress to last years convention. The one of me holding a baby is me and Marcy on the 2nd day of her life, Cool, Huh? I am the crazy aunt who put the Barbie in her crib before she was born.
Here is me uploading and getting the pics on for y'all.
Fiesta de la Familia. Table 20 hostess, Lin Callahan.

More Table shots
A Mariachi band and us in or Mexican outfits.
Ready for the Barbie Fan Club party. Everyone was asked to wear red.
Waiting in line is a convention event, LOL! Lines for entrance to the Barbie Fan Club event, and also to pick up the goody bag we were given, which included the new Heart Association (Fight Heart Disease) Go Red Barbie, designed by Robert Best!
Competition room exhibits. Extraordinary as usual! The doll resembling the convention logo(red white and blue with star and dark glasses blue gloves black and white hat and boots) is mine. I won second place in the Cowgirl Chic catagory.
Y'all come back Saloon Event. Our Table, and close up of our table dolls from Hostess Lin Callahan
another cute table set up
I was thinking we needed to be cow-pokes at the Saloon, but these gals saw it another way. They are the Saloon girls and so was their table doll. Aren't they cute?
Line Dancing lessons
Joe and Katie fan themselves with their hats after their line dancing work out.
Table centerpiece. I thought it rather Hard Rock Cafe, Country style.. really cool!
