In an effort to document my family treasures which cannot be scanned in, I am publishing this series of pictures as part of the Treasure Chest Thursday theme at Geneabloggers.\u00c2\u00a0 Someday in the future, I hope to shed some light on these treasures for my family who might inherit them.\u00c2\u00a0 What were they for?\u00c2\u00a0 Who did they come from?

Cabbage Patch Kid Magnets<\/p><\/div>\n

This week, my featured treasure is this rather large pair of Cabbage Patch Kid magnets.\u00c2\u00a0 This little boy and girl used to reside on the refrigerator at my grandmother’s house.\u00c2\u00a0 Mary Rose (Stroik, Kasper, Karpuk, Dreffs) Romaine used to let me play with them when my mother and I came over to visit.\u00c2\u00a0 One day, probably sometime in 1981 or 1982, she let me have them.\u00c2\u00a0 I have treasured them ever since.<\/p>\n

I was absolutely enthralled with Cabbage Patch Kids.\u00c2\u00a0 My very own CPK was a boy with dark brown curly hair and a yellow jumpsuit.\u00c2\u00a0 I officially had his name changed to George Michael.\u00c2\u00a0 I even got a name change certificate in the mail.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know what happened to George or his birth certificate.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m sure he was thrown out or donated at some point when my DaD tired of me not cleaning my room as a child.\u00c2\u00a0 Thankfully, these two magnets survived, probably because they were smaller and hidden away somewhere in the bedroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
