I have been married to my best friend for 26 years and have been blessed with four wonderful children and two beautiful grandchildren. We live in Central Illinois, about 90 miles from St. Louis, MO. I am retired after working at a medical school for 20 years. (I highly recommend retirement!)
A couple years ago, I discovered the wonderful world of reborn dolls and bought my first one, an Ariella. After that, I started reading everything I could find about the reborning process, viewing tutorials, etc. About 20 months ago, I started reborning and have been addicted ever since. My other passion is collecting and selling vintage costume jewelry, a hobby I have had for the last 15 years. I am very interested in politics and current events, and love to read.
