Just over 3 years

What made you interested in the art of reborning at first?

I saw it mentioned on a WAHM board and went to check them out on ebay. I found them very intriguing. I ordered my first kit and have been hooked ever since :)

What is your favorite aspect of reborning ?

I enjoy all of it, but seeing the finished baby is the most rewarding part :)

Any memorable/funny stories from customers or personal experience with your dolls?

I did a custom baby for a friend of mine. I finished the baby, made the magnetic pacifier, packed everything up, and sent her home. After I returned from the post office I noticed that the pacifier didn't make it in to the box. I packed it up in an envelope and mailed it. When it got there, my friend took it out of the envelope and put it on the baby's mouth and it dropped to the floor. Her hubby told her that her jaw hit the floor as well..haha. The magnet disappeared from the pacifier during shipping. It is still a mystery what happened to it :)

What is the name and web address of your nursery so that people can find you? Ebay ID?
