My 2 kids and I lived with my best friends for ~7 years while I pulled my life back together. I got heavily into SoulCollage to express myself artistically (and to help myself heal) because I lost all ability to make dolls, sew or even read books ( I still don't have book reading back and as a lifelong voracious reader, it is still hard on me, but i can listen to audio books) I got my own home 2 years ago and I just started collecting dolls again during that time. My 60 cms are on display, but I haven't played with them. I went through a Beautiful Crissy doll phase and she got me sewing for dolls again, with was a blessing. Right now I am really into Rainbow High, Mattel: Extra, BMR1959 & Looks dolls. I feel the healthiest I have in years, but winters are still hard on me. I hope to get back into this community in 2023, I miss having dolly
friends!
victoriavictrix - my heart goes out to you, losing a beloved pet is terrible <3
I wondered what happened to you. I'm glad you made it back.
