37 plus keepers, you are the queen of collecting, where do you store or display them all? You need a reality TV show “37 and counting” Who needs to watch TV when you can make it.

The funny thing for us it’s that we absolutely have to buy toilet paper as we where out of stock (!). We are 5 in the house so I buy in large quantities…I was so ashame to go to the cashier !
Six kids…that was my dream when I was a little kid. I wanted a house full of littles but I also wanted to space travel for a little while too.
Your house must be a very busy and happy place.

I am glad I wasn’t the only one who felt a little odd wearing a mask at first. I was use to wearing a mask when I worked in a hospital but the first time I started wearing them to go to the grocery store (before everyone, or most people where) I felt judged in a weird way. Now I don’t care and I will stare you down if you come near me or my kids without one. Personally I kinda like it, lots of perks, not all health related mostly stuff like making faces, singing to songs in the store, feeling like a super hero.

I would agree that it was a weird feeling. I felt like people were either judging me thinking that I had Covid symptoms and was still out shopping anyway, or that I was overreacting. I do enjoy the perks too…it’s easy to cover up my face when I’m feeling gross! I am glad to see that it’s being required most places (though it can’t truly be enforced). I haven’t been able to take my kiddos anywhere because they are mask haters. 2 & 5(with some sensory issues). I bought them ball caps off of Etsy that have a shield attached and I’m hoping it works out. Better than nothing!

1. Name, or name you want to go by here: North
- Artist, collector, curious: Artist
- How did you discover this hobby/art form: When I was a small child, I had an Ashton Drake doll that I loved dearly, and she got lost somehow (can’t remember),so as I was trying to re-find her online, I stumbled upon reborns, and on my birthday (11) my parents let me get a custom from eBay, which i was scammed! I eventually decided to try reborning her myself, and never stopped. The following christmas I got a starter kit from here
4. Favorite three babies: As far as kits I would say realborn June asleep (7 months), Gemma by Donna RuBert and Lexi by (whoops forgot her sculptor’s name) I could paint those kits over and over.
5. How long have you been on this forum: Not very long! Thanks for being so kind to me.
- GHSP or AIRDRY: Genesis but I sometimes use both
- The perfect sculpt would have…: Lots of fat rolls! A realistic healing belly button (with umbilical healing) and pre-opened noses would be awesome
- Pet peeve: People asking for free babies, or people coming up with sob stories to get free or “cheap” babies, and also fake Chinese copy dolls/kits!
- State you live in (if you feel comfortable): Florida!
10. What is the weather like today: Sunny/rainy
11. What are you three go to dinners: I’m vegan, I really like burritos, pasta, and hibachi/sushi.(made vegan of course)
12. kids, vinyl kids, furry kids: 1 real angel baby, no keeper vinyl babies right now, 3 cats, 2 rats, 2 gerbils and 1 fish. - Favorite Netflix binge: Hard choice! Currently watching That 70s Show and Call The Midwife, but I really enjoyed The Walking Dead and Orange is the New Black.
- Beverage of choice: Root Beer or Coke, in glass bottles.
- Satin and lace, little grown up outfits, decayed edges, vintage, fantasy, down to earth cotton: Depends on the baby!
16.When all this improves and we find a new normal where would your dream place to vacation: I really want to go to Colorado!
17.What totally silly thing did you hoard during SIP, (can’t be toilet paper): Hmmm… Probably cans of beans lol.
18.One cool thing you learned to do during SIP: New reborning techniques.
19.Going to ROSE next summer: I hope so!

I remember watching every Disney movie a thousand times and memorizing all the songs… Now I let my little watch and I use the screen to give me an hour of alone-isn time, that feels like 15 minutes.
I hope you get to the Philippines someday, what a beautiful goal.

I would have hoarded hot chocolate too if I would have thought about it, what is it about hot cocoa that makes everything feel good. I love it late at night, camping, for breakfast, when my kids have had a sad day I will make them toast and cocoa. Ireland…goals !

Ok you must tell me what jacket potatoes are and fry up, I am familiar with tinned fruit (yuck in my opinion but I did make a good peach cobbler with canned peaches once). Last man on earth, love it, can’t wait for the next season, I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone during this time it can give you some fears you were not even sure you had. Two weeks here, that may make you the baby of the family, welcome.
It’s definitely a staple in my childhood. 
you first put down a layer of tater tots in a casserole dish… Add ground beef and cream of mushroom soup add a second layer of tater tots and then too it off with shredded cheese.
