"A Snip in Time"

“A Snip in Time” Barbara Weisenberger Imagine, if you will, a little girl – about 6 or 7 – eagerly opening up a small package taken from her Christmas stocking and seeing the glee in her eyes when it turned out to be her very first pair of scissors. Now, you may say, that’s not likely, but I would beg to differ. As a very little girl, in the 1950s, I loved paper dolls, but we couldn’t afford them. Instead, I would take a catalog and carefully page through it until I found just the right model to clip out, and then I would spend even more time “shopping” for just the right clothes to dress my new paper doll.
