The past is history, the future a mystery. Today is a gift that's why it is called the present. Dust

About Me

i've been collecting dolls since i was little. my grandmother was a collector and she would send dolls to my sister and i for our birthdays. i have a revlon doll from her and a toni doll. now my girls are into collecting dolls too. i like to sew, especially making things for my kids. my mother used to sew clothes for me as a child and made me a holly hobbie doll when i was little. i saved all my greeting cards since i was a little girl - birthday, valentine, easter, christmas - i finally put them into a scrapbook for my kids to enjoy. they bring back memories and the early graphics are awesome!My husband is a very talented illustrator and children's book author.
