I had a doll that was made to look like me. I read all the books too and my doll came with a "write your own book" thing. Being the dork I was, I came up with a pretty good story. She was adopted and her name was Audrey. I should've tried for a book deal.

She's my favorite too (probably because we share a name); I would have been in elementary school when she came out and I remember feeling so special. I also remember informing people that I had my name first, just in case they were confused by that. Elementary school logic, what can I say. They were $$, so I remember my mom sewing new outfits for her instead of buying them. We took a quilting class together too so that we could make a blanket for her. I'm going to have to call my mom and thank her for the memories! <br /><br />http://ohmymyoh.blogspot.comfelicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807869491623210225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-60823317752719518092010-10-21T20:31:47.992-04:002010-10-21T20:31:47.992-04:00Samantha all the way!
