Barbie in the Pink Shoes DVD + Ballerina Barbie Giveaway

By /

I remember being a little girl and going to the toy store.  I would always first head to the aisle that was filled with pink – the Barbie aisle!!!  I also remember going to the Nutcracker Ballet in Los Angeles each holiday season with my stepmom.  I had a love for ballet and still do.  Now that I have Frank and his children in my life, I am able to share my love for Barbie and Ballet with a new DVD and doll with his girls!
