I was first introducted to SSC when a Mom on my daughters' soccer team, was showing things coming out for X-mas 1982. She was an employee of Kenner with SSC and things. I was hooked and never stopped liking the Strawberry Shortcake Line from Kenner's. I got away from collecting SSC and then in the late 1990's started collecting and adding things from garage sales and yard sales. I had the misfortune of loosing a lot of my collection; so, I am recollecting all over again and I have met such wonderful and fun people who collect her too! Attended my first SSC Convention 2007 and had a great time.
