A LITTLE ABOUT ME.....
- Creager Studios
- My name is Jodi Creager…my husband Richard and I have been full time Professional Doll Makers for 40+ of our 43 years together. I came from a family of musicians, actors, scenic artists, writers, lighting directors and a real ‘ Pirate’ thrown in for good measure!! I was named Jodi by Louie Armstrong, my family traveled a lot with my Dad’s Music, I have had a vivid and active imagination since early childhood , laced with Imaginary Friends, Fairies in the garden, giants that hid behind mountains and Real Ghosts that resided in my home. I have been in love with ‘Art’ since I first found out what it was. I painted portraits, sculpted in clay, created in cloth and designed my own jewelry. But it was the Doll that captured my heart and stayed with me. My life has been an interesting Feast so far…peppered with good friendships , seasoned with delightful journeys and marinated in a lifetime of memories … I am always excited to see what banquet lays waiting just around the next bend in the road…

Lovely memories Jodi in your previos post.
I love these catalogue pictures and can see why you keep them.
Loved catalogues as a child and would spend hours dreaming too.

Neato! So wonderful to see these images...they do predate me by a few years, (a child of the 60's) but I do recognize the Lincoln Logs (always played with those at the grandparents house) and the old Milton Bradley games...Candyland and Chutes & Ladders!
Don't want to admit it, but yes!! How neat! You are a master with, I guess, Photoshop. I love your header and decorations. Cool!
Oh my goodness! I remember many of these toys and oogleing the catalogs as well. I see my trusty Velocipede (tri-cycle)(Mine was a beautiful deep metalic green, The Game of States, Lincoln Logs, and the Gyroscope. Many of my friends had the other toys and games. What fun memories!!
yes, I do remember all these toys and catalogues, being a child of the 50'ties, it is really fun to see the things again and I remember using a lot of time reading the catalogues over and over again, and did you have lego bricks at that time or even lego wooden toys ? The Lego factory started as a wooden toy factory and invented the plastic brick in the 50ties ! oh, fun, have a nice Christmas hugs from the North Niels/bibfessor
Hi Niels...
You mentioned 'Lego's' so I just had to respond.... One of my very first jobs that I had at Sears in 1969 was in the Toy Dept. at Christmas Time (actually I worked in the candy dept but I had a really outgoing personality so they moved me to the Toy Dept) and my job... Demostrating a New Type of Plastic Blocks called 'Lego's! They had been around for awhile of course but were just getting them in certain stores in the US... WHAT A BLAST!!! I had so much fun, was given instructions on how to assemble and demonstrate by the men in suits right from Denmark...
I must say...it was a very Fun First Job....
well, then I have to show you these two links, http://www.lego.com/eng/info/default.asp?page=timeline6 where you can read that in the same year as I am born, 49, the brick was invented ! and I remember in 57, when we could get a brick with light inside !! and in my toy store we could buy one single brick at a time ! that was just like a hardware store ! and there was en exhibit in Copenhagen, where they built Empire State building ! oh, it was fun and I am looking forward to next or next year again, when my grandkid gets old enough to play with lego ! now I stop, have a really nice Christmas !
