HI: I AM A 54 YR OLD  WOMAN AND I STARTED REBORNING ABOUT 10 YRS AGO. back then you had to buy your babies in your local department stores. usually berenguers or city toy babies are what you used. and you didn't hear of putting viens and cappilaries or scratches and boo-boo on your babies. thn i got sick and had to take a few yrs off, BUT I KEPT UP WITH WATCHING AND SEEING WHAT NEW THINGS WERE BEING DONE. I AM STILL DISABLED AND IT TAKES ME A LOT LONGER TO DO A BABY THAN OTHERS. GENERALLY IT TAKES ME ABOUT 4 TO 6 MONTHS TO FINISH A GOOD 20 INCH BABY CAUSE I CAN ONLY WORK FOR NO MORE THAN AN HR EVERY FEW DAYS ON ONE. BUT I GET THEM DONE EVENTUALLY, LOL. SURE COULDN''TMAKE A LIVING OFF OF IT THOUGH.  BY THE TIME IGET ONE DONE I AM SO ATACHED TO IT , IT MAKES IT HARD TO PART WITH THME. I JUST SOLD MY LAST ONE ABOUT 8 WEEKS AGO. HE IS ON MY PROFILE PICTURE ON FACEBOOK. I HELD ON TO HIM ALMOST A YR AS I JUST COULDN'T PART WITH HIM. THEN I REALIZED I DON'T HAVE THE ROOM TO KEEP ON OF THAT SIZE AS HE WAS A BIG BOY. AND I FINALLY LET HIM GO. SO HIS NAME IS BRANDON AND HE IS LIVING IN RHODE ISLAND WITH A VERY LOVING MOTHER AND FATHER AND HAS A REBORN OLDER SISTER. I'M SURE IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS ARTIST YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ABOUT IT BEING HARD TO LET THEM GO AFTER PUTTIN ALL YOUR TIME AN LOVE INTO THEM.  SO GOD BLESS ALL YOU REBORNERS AND SCULPTORS, FOR THE BEAUTIFUL BABIES YOU GIVE US TO REBORN, AND CLOTHING MAKERS WHO MAKE THE BEAUTIFUL CLOTHING TO PUT ON THEM. AND THEN LETS NOT FORGET THE ONES WHO MAKE ALL THE ODDS AND ENDS LIKE BARRETTS, BINKIES , ETC. AS WE SURE NEED THEM ALSO.  SO GOD BLESS YOU ALL. HUGS, VESTA
