Oh my gosh….it seems like weeks since I last blogged….(actually it has been weeks!) To keep you up to date….I have been swamped with patients all eagerly waiting to be finished so they can be part of the Holiday Festivities. I now have most of them out of surgery and in recovery as we [...]
As you may already know…doll hospital is full to the brim so I am blogging every other week until the Christmas rush is over. Every extra minute I spend in the Dolly O.R. brings me a bit closer to making a dream come true!! At one point I had over 40 [...]
Well….you can sure tell when Fall is here. The leaves are gorgeous shades of red, yellow and orange, the air feels a bit crisp–and the doll hospital is full to the brim! It happens every year just about this time…and it’s a sign that Christmas is coming! You see….restoring a childhood [...]

Today has been one of those great days in the Doll Hospital…you know the kind–everything goes well, work gets finished, and the dolls look fabulous. Now throw in some non-stop laughter–and that is my day. To me….any day full of humor is a good day and today was one I felt [...]
I have to thank all those collectors who called wanting more of what got me started in this life of Doll Doctoring. I was a bit surprised about how many memories were conjured up by collectors (and myself) after reading part one of my blog..and hope to once again bring you back to [...]
As promised….I am going to tell you how this entire “Doll-Doctor” thing got started. No… I did not decide in High School, talk to a career planner, or even realize I was destined to become a Doll Doc until I actually was one! I do however, think my Dad may have known [...]
