I can sell my barbies.

After atcs and van club trips, I knew this camping thing was for me. I had just sold 250 boxes of camp fire girl candies and earned a free week at camp fire girls camp . So when our van club wanted to host a rally, and needed to raise money, I raised my hand and suggested a garage sale. What did a little girl have to sell, I looked arround my room ,and decided not my books, clarinet, or stamp collection. I had several boxes of barbies, and an enormous box of hand made doll clothes. For several years I had worked for a seamstress as a mamas helper to earn fabric,sewed and played with my barbie friends. I felt that I was growing up, and would rather borrow the atc, and go riding than sit in a room and play with dolls. We had our garage sale at a swap meet, I enjoyed how happy other children were to buy my dolls and dresses. I earned 300 dollars for my club that day. The rally was a great success, and I earned my first rally patch.
