Hi! I’m a new member and new to reborning! My 9 yr old daughter fell in love with reborns and she wanted a reborn for her birthday. She wanted an older baby/toddler, but after seeing costs I decided to attempt making her one myself. I made Elora from Janie de Lange. I loved the experience although I found it to be challenging, especially starting with a bigger kit and attempting rooting her with human hair. After many many hours, I’m happy that I was able to finish her doll in time for her birthday back in October. I’ve since made a second doll as her Christmas present, a preemie this time. Alba awake by Antonio Sanchis.
Here are a few pics of my first 2 dolls! They’re far from perfect, but they were made with love and I enjoyed the process! 
Welcome! Cute first babies!
Thank you!
You did a great job! They both look super cute!
Thank you!
Hello starting out good, welcome. 
Welcome to the forum. 
Nice first post!
Thank you!
Welcome to the forum! And Wow! You started high - with a toddler rooted with human hair! I am very impressed!
Looking forward to see more of your babies!
Thank you so much! I think I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into! 
Alba must have been a piece of cake after starting with Elora. Nice first babies. I’ll bet your daughter loves both of them.
Thank you! Yes she loves them both! Little Alba is tiny compared to Elora and yes much easier to do!
So sweet!
