Hi, All, my name is Lisa Franco and I have been collecting Barbies for about 8 or 9 years, but really seriously for about 4 years.  I collect mostly new, but have been slowly adding vintage thanks to my darling husband Nick and Sandi Holder.  Lately, I've been on the lookout for obscure, HTF dolls and am trying to collect all the Skippers ever made since we were born the same year!

I am currently a stay-at-home Mom to Nicholas, 6 1/2 and in 1st grade, although at the rate I've been volunteering at school, I don't know how I'd find time for a "real" job.
