Happy Baby Restoration: Invasion of the Barnyard Mice !!

These HAVE to be one of the most popular and adored Baby's of the 40's

Unfortunately, this little lost soul was accidentally placed in the family's barn for many years.

I don't know if this would EVER make the pages of " Where Women Create"..Do You?

Happy Baby is Happy once again and so is her owner. She was a complete restore from the Compo repair to an exact duplicate body taken from a pattern of her old one.There was enough left of her original dress to replicate it AND she was still able to wear her original shoes...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

 Well, another year has come and gone before we had a chance to blink twice. Our Holidays were fun and fattening..But, most of all it was fun with Family and Friends. These are the presents that can't be purchased for any Dollar amount. Isn't that the most WONDERFUL thing about Family and REAL Friends? Their love is simply yours for the taking..Pretty cool...
 Now, is also the time to reflect and count our blessings. My blessings revolve around the constant chaos that is created by 5 Grandchildren and 1 Great-Grandson...My 3 daughters ,little girls who grew into caring and beautiful women...Blessed with our Health and the ability to get up every morning and move forward...Last, but not least,The magnificent creatures that I call my co- workers , compassionate ,dedicated to their patients and to each other......
 As to my New Years Resolutions ? It is to laugh, to believe that if I write something down,AGAIN, that I will resolve to follow through and accomplish said tasks... Oh ! H-ll No ! LOL !! This year, I am simply going to view the New Year as a Blank Sheet of paper...I am the Pencil . ( a pencil with a VERY large eraser) New adventures, New dolls , New Friendships....
  I sincerely want to wish Each and Everyone of you the VERY Happiest and Healthiest of New Years...May it be full to the brim with excitement and fulfillment  in all that this WONDERFUL life has to offer...One thing that you learn quickly in Hospice is that we only get one shot at it...at life..make it count !!! God Bless !!
