Hi, my
name is Tracy, I'm a mommy to two precious boys, my
first son Joshua, was born to Heaven 18 years ago, a
year and a half later I was blessed with my second
son Zane, he's my miracle baby and has truly
grown up way to fast. He is 17 and in his
Senior year in high school. I must say I miss my Zane as a
little boy, but I am enjoying watching my baby grow
into an incredible young man. I also have a
wonderful stepson Tony who is 26, I'm thrilled to
have him a part of my life too. Over the past 12
years I have watched him grow from a teenager into
the man he is today. I love all 3 of my boys and
feel like the luckest mom in this world.
I have
been married to my sweetheart, for 9 years.
John is my best friend, my prince charming
and my soul mate. We fell in love at first
sight and our love has only grown stronger over
the 12 years that we have been together.
John supports my art so completely. I know
it must drive him crazy with all of the baby
parts and accessories laying around the house,
but he never complains. He's always there
to give me his opinion on each of my babies, and
his opinion is always so honest. To
complete our family we have our own little zoo,
5 dogs and 11 cats, our fur babies are like our
children, and we adore and enjoy having them
with us.
It
has been over 5 years, since I fell in love with
reborns. It was then, that me and my son
decided to give it a try as a fun art project.
I bought a cheap doll and some paints at the
local craft store and together we created Cody.
As you can see, my talents have come along way.
However, I must say Cody is a forever baby here, as
funny looking as he is, I will never change him,
because the memory of creating him is far more
precious, than having a perfect doll.
After our attempt at reborning, I started
learning as much as I could about this incredible
art form. My passion just continued to grow
and finally about 4 years ago, I decided to take
the plunge and invest in all of the supplies I would
need to start creating beautiful babies. In
May 2008, my first baby was adopted from eBay.
With each baby I create I learn something new to add
to my technique. I have also taken online
classes with Simply Reborn, Excellence In Reborn
Artistry and R.E.A.L. classes, along with a Secrist
class at a local doll store. I believe there
is always more to learn with this art form, and will
continue to find new techniques to improve on
every detail of my babies. However I am so
thrilled with how far I have come. I am very
proud of the angels I have created. I feel I
truly found the art form that captures my heart
completely. I'm able to combine my love for
babies and art together. To find an art that I
am so completely passionate over, making these
babies, watching them come to life, for me is just
so rewarding. It brings back memories of those
nights of rocking my son to sleep, and studying
every inch of my precious baby, each line in his
tiny face, each crease, the wrinkles in his legs and
his tiny little fingers and toes. I
can't begin to tell you how much joy this hobby of
mine has brought to me. This art has helped to
heal me in so many ways and to be able to share my
babies with others, just makes it completely
magical.
