I agree life is too short for what ifs, we need joy in our lives and for me this hobby does it. For me, I do have favorites, don't tell them though☺ I also believe that the art has improved so much throughout the years and the realism is so much greater, that it's starting to make our older babies look more dolly. Realism is what we all look forward to in these works of art. The realism does it for me. Great topics Mia! Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Hi, Mia. The twins are so gorgeous in their matching outfits. They are so adorable. Well, for starters, no one in their right mind is going to tell me I can't have my babies. It's my money and I'll get what I want. If they don't like it, they don't have to come see me! I hope you have a great week. xx

Great topics! I feel the exact same way with my collection. I definitely have my favs, but that can change frequently. I have learned A LOT from my last three years of collecting. I now feel like I know which types/styles of dolls I prefer and want in my collection. I put a lot more thought into whether I'm going to bring another doll home too. I have sold over 30 dolls and mounds of clothes over the last several months and I couldn't be more pleased with where I am. As far as your first topic, I can't even imagine. NO CAPABLE ADULT should be stifled for making an informed, safe decision about their own life. I definitely can see where there are gray areas, but this was my immediate, visceral reaction, lol. Love and hugs. (: xo ❤💫

Some of my family members don’t get it either, but they don’t ask my permission to do things they enjoy, and I don’t need theirs to collect dolls. That’ll be the day when anyone tells me what I can or cannot do. Your twins are gorgeous! My tastes have changed too, but my budget hasn’t, so I haven’t really changed what types of dolls I buy either.

I have been blessed to have totally supportive family and friends when it comes to my reborns. When it comes to a favorite reborn I have one who is my very favorite. I have had him almost 2 years so for me it has nothing to do with newness. There has just been something about him from the moment I got him.

Good evening! Great conversation! When I first fell in love with Reborns.. I never thought people in my family would feel the way they did! Some called them creepy..or weird.. and that hurt my feelings..my own twin sister started looking at me as if I were losing my mental health or something.. but she did adore the first doll I ever made.. she became a little more accepting of my dolls the more I made.. my Mother loves them! She never made me feel weird.. but some other family members still do.. but you know what? I don't care! I love my dolls and my hobby. I am an Artist and they know that.. but when I changed from canvas art to doll art they changed their feelings about my art too. But they also had to admit it's an art skill they don't have. 🙂 Nothing and no one will tell me I can't participate in a doll hobby. Nope! 😍

Ashtyn and Alyna are so beautiful!💗🐇🤍For myself I have a couple of babies that you could say are my "favorites." They aren't new babies, I just feel more connected to them by my experience in getting them. I don't think anyone in my Family really understands my collecting but fortunately they don't have anything rude or hurtful to say about it.❤

A couple of people recently told me this hobby is "creepy" or not worthwhile...but they did not hurt my feelings. With one I explained the artistry and dynamics and wide variety of people involved in this hobby, and then asked her what she does for fun. Neither of the women attacked me as a person...just were wary of the hobby. They didn't have much of a response, except mild curiosity. How we handle our reaction when the "creepy" comes up is as important as our defense of ourselves. If my husband was adamantly opposed to this hobby, I would find something else just as fulfilling to do. The rest of my family and their variety of reactions aren't worth fighting, and I don't give them much opportunity to slam the hobby as the dolls stay in their nursery when most people come to visit...that keeps the visitors more secure😁.

Hi Half-pint, Ashtyn and Alyna are looking adorable today. I love their little outfits! Our Baby Gap closed years ago and it made me so sad. I love their clothes. Two interesting topics. For the one about fighting for my right to enjoy my hobby, speaking for myself, I would definitely speak up and tell whoever was apposing me that they could get over it or not. It's my life, my hobby, it's what I enjoy so back off. That being said, I know there are people who are not in a position to do that. There are some people out there who live with some very controlling people and are not in a position to be able to stand up and speak for themselves like I can. And sometimes keeping the peace is more important than your own desires. I am sorry for those who are in that position, and I hope and pray that they would someday be able to speak for themselves and do what makes them happy. As for the other topic, I don't think I am particularly drawn to any one or two babies as much as I am drawn to a particular type of baby. I do enjoy my larger babies and toddlers I think more than the tiny babies. I love my tiny babies, too, but I can interact more with the older ones. To me they are more fun! The littles are for cuddling, the toddlers are for playing.😊 By the way, I enjoyed the walk! Lots of love, Sunshine 🌞❤️❤️❤️

I have my favorite dolls, for sure! My favorite doll isn't even a reborn but a Paradise Galleries Dolls. I have new reborns, but I still tend to go for Dallas. The only family member I had any issues with concerning my dolls was my father. However, he doesn't care anymore! I explained to him why but honestly I think he just got tired of making comments. LOL

Hi Mia The twins look stunning ! I love that Gap outfit it’s beautiful I must see if I can find one so I can twin with you sometime if that’s ok? 1. I did have a lot of opposition by my husband and sons about me starting the hobby, it was awful for quite a while. I was hiding my dolls and pretending I didn’t spend time with them. But then I remembered I had the right to be happy and if the dolls did that for me then I should fight for my hobby! So I did and the rest is history really. 2. I think we all take a few years to realise what we really like and what makes us happiest in the hobby and it’s very hard not to have favourites, very hard but I do. Great chat as always and loved your walk , glad the phone holder worked so well. Yes, prayers for Israel 🇮🇱 xxxx

My husband and friends have always supported me in my hobby. My son thinks it’s creepy but I don’t care. As you know I take my babies to my place of worship and everyone is accepting or they keep their mouth shut!😂😂😂 It’s hard to choose a favorite. But my Saskia boy has still got my heart and he’s 7 years in my collection. I have noticed my taste is changing. I want the most realism. But I have to pay more for that.❤❤❤ I do enjoy my 3-6 month babies now where I used to prefer newborns.

Would love the link or name of the mobile phone holder you got... there's many out there. I have sons who aren't worried about my mental health for having reborns let alone painting them for others. They sit with them, around them and they are not freaked out about it. Your twins are gorgeous.... No favorites as such but I do have one main I would save if I could only save one doll... and that's Brently... but I equally play with them all...

I am in love with your twins! They are both stunning. To answer your first question, I have to say, I didn't experience any pushback. I did have my daughter say she thought it was weird and a little creepy. But she also said if it made me happy that was fine. I have one friend who question me about knowing that they were dolls and not real. I told her I knew that. My parents are not at all surprised I have dolls They know I have always loved dolls. In fact, they brought me back a doll from Alaska when they vacationed there many years ago. I was an adult at the time. My son, fully supports me. If I trust did have someone against me, I think that I would still have a doll or two and tell them to just accept it. And I would not expect them to show any interest nor would I rub it in their face. On topic number two, for me it is actually a bit of a new doll is here and as time went on I discovered what I enjoy the most. Honestly, I do have one girl and one boy that I have had for more than one year, that I gravitate more to than my others. I also tend to feature them more on my channel. They are more the size I enjoy. And each one is awake and happy looking. They are a 0-3 size. I still have my preemies and I do enjoy my large Ashton Drake 31" girl. She is fun to dress! I'm constantly rethinking my collection. I really want to keep my actual reborns between 10 to 12. I don't count my manufactured Ashton Drake or any Paradise Galleries dolls as reborns. They are lifelike play dolls that I enjoy. Great topics, Mia.😊 Have a blessed rest of your week. 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁👻🎃
