I thought Elizabeth's party was quite lovely and all of the girls seemed to have fun. We created little clothes peg dolls which were easy and evoked a simple whimsy. The cake was designed by my husband. It was a pink stage with white scalloped icing. He drew tiny ballerinas and cut them out with precision scissors and attached them to the cake with a toothpick. Next was the curtains which was cut from chipboard and covered with brown and pink cardstock that was then detailed with pink pencil crayon - these were the stage curtains. It was original, effective and we loved it. The only mishap happened then following day when family gathered for round two with the cake and one of the ballerina's head somehow went up in flame after the candles were blown out. No harm done.
As a girl, I enjoyed playing with my Barbie dolls. My favourite thing to do with them was dress and undress them in different outfits to get them ready for whatever activity they were dressed for. The playing never actually got done, if I recall correctly, since I obtained more pleasure from their clothes.
