My name is Rosa Kruse. I am a wife of almost 50 years, a mother of two, a grandmother of four and a great-grandmother of 1. I am a retired school teacher. When I retired, I was looking at the Reborns.com page and I decided I wanted a baby. Then I decided that maybe I could learn to make a baby. So in September of 2018 I started researching and reading everything I could about reborns. I watched a lot of YouTube videos on the steps and the products needed. I decided to start with air dry paints because it was the most reasonable alternative to learn without a huge investment. I bought a Chrissy sculpt from Bountiful Babies, and some of the products needed from WalMart and I went on one of the best adventures of my life! I even rooted Chrissy using cheap mohair and the stabbing method which gave her a horrid head of hair, but I was so proud of her!! She was "born in November of 2018. Then I had a friend ask me to make her a baby. So I did. That started the ball rolling. By end of 2019 I decided that I had learned enough to risk investing on Genesis heat set paints. My son bought me a Nuwave oven for Christmas and my real adventure then began in 2020. I then began a more serious venture. I taught myself how to root and I invested in quality mohair and my babies got better and better! I love reborning and I love the friends I have met in this community. I pray I can continue doing this for a long, long time!
