First off, I want to wish you a very happy New Year! 2018 wasn't a truly wonderful year, but I feel blessed that I am in my right mind,a roof over my head. I know it's been a while. Thanking God that the GSD has finally ended! I had to check in and say that I'm still here.
I've been working on and learning "Square"and setting up my new website store and it was a headache for sure! Also started on new babies for the year and the next show and hoping to find homes for the older ones soon. My older sister started out her new year badly, feel down a basement step and busted up her femur bone, luckily not her driving leg. All is well, and she is slowly on the mend and making progress.
I've also been trying out new air dry paints by Ultimate Fusion. I like trying new air dry paints designed for the reborn artist and these paints are pretty good. I really loved BabyFX and these paints remind me of them. I still love the Miracle Blend and it seems the same problem has shown its ugly face. 😟Seems every time I fall in love with a particular paint that they stop making it. LOL
l will be back with pictures and setting up to have a "Sweetheart of a Deal" sale on my website shortly, so stay tuned and check out my store!


From my heart to yours...

Hugs, Judie

Seems like Christmas in November for me!

It has been a busy month! I truly hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and didn't get too stuffed! We went to my sister's (me and my fur babies). I had a good time. I still miss my hubby being with me, but I will always believe that he was there in spirit. Now to get ready for Christmas. My neighbor's did theirs today, kinda forcing my hand. LOL...maybe tomorrow I will put up some decorations, maybe.

I have been shipping babies more than ever! Believe me when I say...NOT COMPLAINING!!! Sometimes you don't always get a message, so I send my babies with a signature release, then I know that they were delivered. It warms my heart when you actually get messages from adopting mommies. I like to add them to my website. An older set of micro-preemie twins went to two different mommies the same day even though I don't like the thought of separating them. At least they went the same day. It was nice that one liked one and the other liked her twin. Jazzie's mom is in love with her, but since this was regarding the twins, Tavis and Tavia, I wanted to share:
HI Judie!!!  I can't believe my babies arrived yesterday!!!  I would have written earlier but I haven't been able to take my eyes off of them :)
Thank you so much for getting them to me so quickly.. this is the best birthday present I have ever had and is fitting for my 60th birthday..ha
I can't begin to describe how I feel about them. They look so real and precious!! You are a very gifted artist.
I so miss working as a nurse in the NICU, but when I hold them and rock them I feel like smiling and feel so much love.
I could go on and on about how surprised I was when I opened the package and saw all the little gift wrapped pieces, each with their own special toy or stamp on them. The time you took to do all the special touches was not wasted. I have never in my life been so surprised.  Even the birth certificate pictures had their name on the picture with my last name. The foot prints on them were so sweet!!!! 
So, I will never, ever, forget the wonderful experience of opening the box and seeing my precious babies with the very thoughtful special touches. Seriously Judie, it was a moment I will never forget.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I will take such good care of them and love them forever!
With much love,
Terry
I am working on two other babies now (Amy by  Sandy Faber a special project and Crystal by Denise Pratt for the nursery) they are in the final painting stages (YEAAAH) and I am so ready to root them. I have another memory baby to start on but I will be taking extra time because she's extra special. Yet, there are some babies ready and still looking for mommies! So don't forget to visit them on my website, because I need room for more! :o) Well back to work! Just wanted to touch bases!!! HUGS!!

Ayashe (little one) in Native American Indian

To keep my mind busy I have worked on several projects at one time. Moving little rocks around in the yard then Saphira was the next one, Melanie aka Crystal by Denise Pratt and last but not least Ayashe aka Landon by Tamie Yarie. Well, no longer a good multitasker I finished the hardest first, that being Saphira, then moving rocks, planting another boxwood bush and laying mulch. I was happy about this, I beat the rain. I am now working on Ayashe's photo shoot because I think she held my interest more than poor little Melanie and I thought that I would never get that little head rooted! Also, she was the next hardest, you will see why soon! Even though little Melanie was first on the list she managed to take a back seat in all of this again. LOL Not to worry, she is in the oven and waiting to bake some more of her layers. She's not been forgotten.

So here's a sneak peek at Ayashe (Landon by Tamie Yarie) a sweet little preemie Indian baby girl.



She has beautiful cinnamon skin tones, Adorable features that were emphasized by giving her textured skin, 3D eyebrows and hand painted fine baby hair. She's micro-rooted with black/brown kid mohair from TNGUN that is super soft, eyelashes are hand rooted and no detail has been missed. We know that Tamie is wonderful for detailing her sculpts! I left her nose intact (rarely do I do this) and she has a sweet little tummy plate that fits perfectly with her little 17 inch body, full legs with 3/4 arms and magnetic binky. Mentioning body her body was customized just for this sculpt! She is a Ltd. Ed. 196/800.  I love how she turned out, but back to more shooting, as you can see, she is very photogenic!

Meet little Jazzie aka Candy

Well I finished Jazmyn over Felicia because of time constraints for the contest. She came out beautiful and I am working on her photo shoot now. Since she is the perfect little angel I made her the cutest little tutu outfit. I attached it to her onesie with wings! LOL I did make her look like she's crying even though she could be a happy baby, just seemed right. Well here's a preview of her new "look".



Yes, the front says "Angel"!

 How do you like her wings? It's done in a beautiful teal tulle and with her chubby legs it is just too cute!

 

 

I micro-rooted her hair with my favorite brown/black hair from Deb of TNGUN. I just love it!

She has textured skin, pierced ears, veins and 3D eyebrows and...tears. Once I get all of her photos together, I will be back on Felicia and her blushing highlights and hope to complete her very soon!

Babies are coming along!

Just checking in and updating! Well Felicia / Nikki and Jazzie / Candy are coming along! Still not real crazy about Felicia's coloring but it's much better than it was. Jazzie is on her last skin tone steps so I hope to be rooting her by tomorrow! I was going to paint her hair, but a trusted friend wants me to root. Okay, so I will! LOL I have never had a hard time figuring out the eyes for my babies until Jazzie! Haven't figured out why either! LMAO However I do have some selected so once she completes her coloring I will make a decision then. I will be getting fresh pictures up hopefully by next week!

From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie www.loveisforevernursery.com

I promised pictures and I have delivered!

Okay, no pun intended! After rooting and rooting and rooting, I finally finished Nadia. Still as I worked there was something that just didn't grab me. Then it hit me!

Surprise, surprise about Nadia....

Nadia is a BOY!!! I guess the ultrasound was a little off!  LOLROTF Well you will see!

micro-rooted with TNGUN's mohair

 

Made an absolutely adorable little boy!!! As you can see I am having a ball photographing him. Poor little thing has no real chin to speak of but he's still very photogenic!

 

Well of course I had to come up with a new name for "him" since Nadia is a girl's name that meant hope. Meet Nuri  (pronounced NOOR-ee) which means "light". I think that it fits him very well with his bi-racial skin tones and I just love the "Joey" limbs on him. So the moral of this story is everything happens for a reason! LOL

Now off to root the twins!

Seth on his way to the Ukraine!!!!

YEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! I am just as excited as I am nervous! I got him on his way today with a small glitch, my own fault. Lesson learned NEVER EVER do anything that requires clear thought when you know that you are extremely tired / sleepy. LOL funny but not funny. No matter, off to the UKRAINE all bundled up nice and warm!

Almost finished Abra's head!!! I lovin it!!!  Got her eyebrows done and starting on Chane'l's head. I think that she's just going to be toooo pretty with this hair shade.

Happy New Year!!!

First I want to you to know that I wish you a very happy and blessed New Year! I didn't make any resolutions, don't want to have to worry about breaking them so I set goals. That is to take my time working on my babies and not pressure myself into worrying about how many I should have done or could have done, just focus on the ones I am doing.

We went to see Django yesterday and it was the bomb! Also I was given a beautiful classical guitar to add to my collection of acustics. Re-strung it, not an easy task, but I dude it! Definitely won't be doing tie-in strings! WHEW!! LOL

I am so happy to announce that Seth has a new Mommy and he's going to the Ukraine!!!!! He's been paid for and I am getting him ready and warmly wrapped for travel! I think it might be really cold there...never been there. I know that she will love him, he's just adorable and I am going to miss him, but I know that he's going to a beautiful place!! Now to find the rest of the gang homes!!!

I have just about completed Abra's rooting (have to update her pictures) and Chane'l is next in line! I just love how her skin tones turned out! A gorgeous honey brown. Funny, I can't seem to upload photos from my puter for some strange reason now. So I will have to upload I guess to picasa. UGH!!! Finally figured out how to get them into my picasa picture book! LMAO Here's little Chane'l  making progress!

Ain't she purtee, she's only going to get better! Well got to do some photo updating, eyebrows and get busy rooting on these heads! I can't wait to use this Brown / Black on Chane'l!!!

Lil Seth's progress and my new mattress

He is just going to be adorable! I micro-rooted him with dark brown hair from slumberland and he has dark brown glass eyes. I just love his little spit bubbles! LOL He is coming along very nicely!

I can't wait to start picking out his layette and shooting his portfolio. He is just tooooo cute, he'll be a hard one to let go of, that's no doubt.

Lil D update: She started weight bearing on leg yesterday and getting more and more back to her old self and finished the last of her antibiotics. Yeaaahhh! Now it's going to be really hard to keep her settled down. The good thing is I got a ramp for her through a friend. Going to take a little for her to get used to it when she can start to use it, but she's going to need it. Got a new mattress, because I haven't slept good for quite a while, I almost need a step ladder but we love it! LOLROTF
