Sharing my collection Friday~Christmas Babies!

Oh dear! Where to start on this blog! Well first, before I could change the babies, it was time to bring the cherry crib back into the nursery after having it out of there for most of 2011 while I did the Gallery window display and used the crib for the fall shows. I simply had not had the time to bring it back in.

Looking at this mess one wonders just WHERE that crib is going to go!?!?!?

Right there! Where there is a will, there is a way!
This last summer, we had also purchased a matching changing table for the crib. I thought it would replace my old one which is right inside the door, to the right of this picture (I am standing in the door way to take the picture) but, the new table it too long and won't fit in the space. But I really wanted to use it! So...

I took out and have decided to sell a "co-sleeper" baby bed that I had in the corner where now the new changing table resides. as you can see, I am using it to display babies:

Once I got all the furniture arranged, it was time to put babies in their places. The boys are VERY delighted to have their crib all to themselves once again.

And the girls were just as delighted to not have to cram in with the boys!

Let me share some close ups of these beautiful dolls.

These are some of them that are not in the nursery but in other areas of the house:

Joylynne (manufactured prototype from Ashton Drake and Huti Babies) keeps us delighted in the high chair in the dining room:
The "cowkids" Matthew (reborn made by me) and Tamara (Manufactured doll by Masterpiece Galleries and Dawn Donofrio) will be in their pj's waiting up by the tree for Santa to arrive:
Precious Sammie (reborn prototype made by me) is resting peacefully in the buggy in the living room:
A close up of her since I love her oh-so-much!

Also in this picture are Jacob (L corner~mini reborn by one of my reborn students), Giovanni in the rear L corner, Tommy, next to him Buddy Cassidy (manufactured Lee Middleton), Michael, Daniel, Rory then Josh in the front (reborn by me) and Erik (reborn by me)

Whew! That was a LOT of work...more work than doing the whole nursery I think! LOL There are a lot of babies that I didn't take individual pictures of...or any pictures of.
I am so very blessed to have all these dolls to enrich my life!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
