Oh I love her! Those people were rude. We’ve toured so many homes over the years while looking to move and I’d never dream of allowing one of my kids to touch belongings in someone else’s home. I remember saying on repeat so many times, “We don’t touch things that don’t belong to us”. Nothing wrong with being protective about your investment.
Thank you! She is definitely my favorite baby at the moment and has been since the day she arrived! If all parents thought like you then the world would be a much better place. Boundaries are important for children and adults! Nobody should be able to just trapse around doing what they please. Respect... it's important!
Great chat 👏👏 how stressful for you 😮 a long time ago, I belonged to an armature camera club, we all took along “props” I set up a partial silicone on a fluffy pillow and a man went over and picked it up by the LEG 😢😢😢 now I am super cautious with my dolls when I am anywhere near the general public ❤❤❤
Thank you, Angela! I'm so glad you enjoyed my chat. It just really floors me how some people are so callous toward other people's belongings! It's like they think because it's a doll, it has less value than another type of belonging and actually it has a lot more value simply because it is a work of art! Also, I don't understand people's reasoning behind picking a realistic-looking baby up by the leg or dangling it from the arm or whatever it is they do. Pretend to drop it and so forth. Why would they want someone to think that they are abusing a real baby??? That makes no sense to me! Hugs and love to you! 💜 💜💜
Penny, I just love your Adalyn and your videos! I’ve been watching you for a while now and I truly enjoy your videos! I don’t blame you for being protective over your babies! People are so rude these days! If I move again, my babies will be the first thing I pack up! I can’t handle that stress! God bless you!!!!!
Awww thank you Jennifer! 😊 I am so happy that you are enjoying my babies and my videos! Thank you so much for being here and for leaving such a nice comment. Hugs and love and God bless you also! 💜💜💜
Our collection is a very “personal” possession, repair or replacement of our “valuables” can’t be taken for granted. Inexperienced handlers bring anxiety --adult or child. I would not have anyone drive my car without permission, use my good kitchen skillet to scratch up-asset or liability , I’d rather give something away (that could be given away) than take risks… I even have my bff wash her hands before she handles my babies 🤓… You are right on with your views ❤
Thank you, Alexandra, and yes, I totally agree! It kind of freaks me out, too, when someone who doesn't know about these babies wants to handle my dolls. I will be telling them all kinds of things just like it's a real baby. I will be like, "Support the head and be careful. Don't pull on anything," etc. But honestly, I would just rather no children at all hold any of my babies. Because they do not realize the value of the dolls and a lot of times their parents don't either because they don't collect! They just don't understand everything that we have invested in these dolls, and it's more than just money. Hugs and love to you! 💜💜💜
Well they were just plain rude !!! I’d have been polite as possible because I’d need the property to sell ..but watching them all like a hawk xx As for doll shows , nope ..I don’t like kids the best of times if I see them in a hobby situation then I’m leaving , there will never be an occasion when someone’s brat will ever touch my doll. Great chat lovely ….. and Adalyn is sooo damn sweet xxxx
Thank you I just love my sweet baby girl! Yes, I agree that it is rude for people to bring their young children in somewhere and just let them run rampant. And then the fact that he screamed the whole rest of the time they were here. I will be so glad when this move is done and over with! Glad you enjoyed the chat!
@@LightHeartedLifeCollectibles one of them was early in my collecting. It was a second hand silicone. But it was a Claire Taylor full body. My Granddaughter was only 3. I was holding him, but for some reason she yanked on his arm.
Oh dear, I would be so mad if that happens to me. I have boys and both of them knows they can’t touch my dolls but if they want to they have to be super gentle. I’m very protective with my dolls too. I don’t want them to be damaged in any way. It’s so comprehensive to be protective with the price point these dolls are. Enjoy the chat dear 🥰
Oh my goodness yes! People have no idea how much time love and money goes into these dolls from the very beginning! From the sculptor, all the way to the collector, so much goes into these babies. Hugs and love to you! 💜💜💜
Really sweet onesie you put on Addie Pooh❤ love the colors. Omg I knew where the story was going when you said a toddler was involved. Ppl just don't get it when it comes to these expensive dolls. Even if they weren't expensive why did they think they could come into someone's home and touch their things? They would of been mad at me bc I would of let them have it on how to handle their child in someone else's home
Thank you so much sis! I love this little onesie. Simple and sweet! Yes I don't know what is wrong with some people how they just let their children come in and they expect them to be able to do whatever they please. I am so glad that I don't have to put up with people traipsing through the house with the intent to buy any longer! So happy to be in our new home! Sorry it took me so long to respond because I haven't been on much in the past month and a lot of my comments kind of got lost in the shuffle. Love you lots! 💜
She is so cute!! I would have been mad! I don’t understand why some people feel they can do what ever they want when they go somewhere, and what happened to the days of parents teaching their children to not touch other peoples stuff, no matter what it is! I was taught you don’t touch unless you ask and you don’t run around like a damn fool, lol even as a small child. Lots of old ways are out the window these days unfortunately. I had to get onto my niece for letting her son go under our Christmas tree and try to rip open all the gifts and take the ornaments off the tree. She just sat there watching him!! My kids would have never done something like that, even at a relatives house! Ok rant over lol but yes, I would have been mad! Can ya tell?? 😂😂
Thank you and oh my goodness yes my child was very well behaved when he was little! I had my friend to come over one time with her 2-year old daughter and she started plucking the things off my Christmas tree and I made her stop she asked me how did I expect her not to know any better because she was just a baby. I said the same way my son knows better because I taught him better! It's one thing if a mother wants to allow a child to pluck her Christmas tree like a Thanksgiving turkey but don't expect your child to be allowed to do that everywhere else! Gees
I’m very protective of my dolls. I have grandbabies and I had to stress when they started to come to see me. No those dolls you can’t play with. I have had onetime some kid poked the eye and kicked it cock eyed. So then I had to fix the eye. I know what I’m doing with that. But what if it had been someone didn’t know what to do. But I do understand trust me!! Girl I’m trying to get my doll room back in order when I do I’m making a coming back video!! I’ve sure missed you!! Also congratulations on the new home!! Big hugs❤
It pays to be protective of our dolls because they are fragile and very valuable! That lady at church would have gotten a piece of my mind ! If she wants to handle her things like that, that's one thing, but you don't handle someone else's belongings that way! Can't wait to see you come back to youtube!
Heyyyyy good video I’m so like you. I’m such a crazy woman when it comes to my babies. For me it is also an emotional attachment so I’ll go into a full blown panic or anxiety attack. I was at work one day and called my hubby on one of my very small 5 minute breaks and he tells me that one of his buddies came over…that he hadn’t seen in a while. Then he says guess who he has with him. I instantly lost it 😮….i said oh noooooo his 2 year old daughter? He said yup….i was so stressed out. I said Pleaseeeeeee don’t let her touch my dolls. I could not function after I knew that…..so I’m driving my bus and can’t wait to get to the end of the line on another break so I can call and reiterate how important it is for him to pay attention to this kid. Girlllllll, I wanted to cry and all that. Emotions were all over the place. My dolls aren’t in a room behind a closed door so it’s different for me. Anywho hubby said I know how important your dolls are to you. I’m not gonna let no one touch them. I was still nervous because his attention span ain’t the same as mine. Well I came home and did a full out exam and they were good. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Oh my goodness, I can totally understand that! I definitely have emotional attachments to my dolls. Some more than others. I can totally understand how you would be flipping out because you weren't home to see what was going on with your dolls. Some parents just think their children should be able to do what they want, and as you said, if your husband is not as attentive as you would be, something might slip by him. Anxiety does tend to take over when we don't feel like we're in control of something. Sorry that happened to you & big hugs!
I usually hide the dolls I don’t want anyone to mess with in my room. Most of my dolls aren’t very high end, so even though I still don’t want anything happening to them, I don’t mind people handling them as much as I would my more expensive ones. But I still ask them to be careful. Adalyn would be pretty hard for anyone to resist, if they saw her.
Yeah, that does sound like a really good idea to just put the dolls away where others can't see them . We don't have a whole lot of visitors in our house that doesn't already know how I expect my dolls to be treated but sometimes we do have newcomers to come by and those are the ones I worry about. They don't understand the cost of these dolls and how invested we are in this hobby, so it doesn't mean anything to them. But the thing is, no matter if it means anything to them or not, they should be respectful of other people's things. It means something to us, and that's what matters.
My grown ass sister, who knew the costs of my dolls, pulled the leg of my Luka by Weebabies like he was Stretch Armstrong. It immediately caused a paint peel that I had to get repaired. 🤬
Oh my word!! That would have made my blood absolutely boil!! When grown people act like that, I think it's just because they want to make fun of our hobby, and they want to degrade the value of our dolls in some kind of way... it's like they're kind of like, "That's what you get for playing with dolls!"
I think also people don't realize how much these babies are. I've had a lot of people say " oh I want one" then they ask how much and I tell them and their face is like😳 lol
Oh I know! I've had the same thing happened to me and I'm like you do realize these are handmade items and that these dolls start out from a handful of clay and our hand sculpted and are not made by machine. They don't realize the hours, blood, sweat, and tears that literally go into all of these dolls coming to fruition. Hugs 💜
I have had that happen before and I went off 😮 told the parents to control their kid , this isn't your house , better said then the outcome if something was to happen to one of my dolls
I hover over my babies even with adults. They don’t seem to comprehend these dolls have to be treated like A REAL BABY… when they don’t handle my baby like I would, I just take my baby away from them. They look at me funny but I don’t care. My babies costed “ME, A LOT of money”.
You are so right, and you would think that of all people adults would know how to handle valuables! That's exactly what these babies are! They are valuable collectibles that we indeed pay a lot of money for. It's totally disrespectful to mistreat something valuable but especially if it doesn't belong to you. I treat something with extra special care just because it may belong to someone else. Don't get me wrong, I treat my babies with care as well, but I am especially going to be extra careful with a doll that doesn't belong to me if I'm allowed to hold it.
@@LightHeartedLifeCollectibles I have had so many adult women grab my doll and say, let me see that thing and treat it like you would a teddy bear. That’s when I took it away from them and pointed out how much it cost me. I hate having to do that. But I wanted them to know how close they were to buying me another one. 🤭🤭
@TheBabyPatch I don't blame you one bit for taking it away from them.... like O said before, they don't respect our hobby or our dolls, and they handle them roughly on purpose, I think.
Oh I would have freaked out. Lol but the more the point is you don’t let your child bother other people’s belongings. I have them all over my house right now and I wouldn’t want them grabbing up things.
I am soooo protective. And when I first started making them I took one to church to show my friends. And a lady came up and grabbed her up by one arm and was slinging her around laughing to make other people freak out that didn’t know she was a doll. To say the least I was not happy. And this was a grown person.
Oh, trust me, I was not happy about it at all, and I was freaking out! That's why there is no way on Earth I would let anyone tore this house without me being here. Once we get all of our stuff out, of course, it's not going to matter any longer, but until then, I just have to be super diligent and super protective!
Yeah that lady at church would have definitely gotten a piece of my mind! They definitely know better than that it's just they want to poke fun at us and I feel like bothering one of our dolls is like the ultimate way to get a rise out of us.
Wow! Those people were rude just letting their kid run around because they saw toys out. I just don't understand that level of entitlement! They deserved not to get to enjoy themselves and all the toddler screaming! LOL! Sorry, but they did! How protective I am depends on the situation and who I'm with. I'm very protective around children, especially children I don't know, even if I know their parents well. When I take a doll somewhere with me, I always use a baby sling and never, ever leave them unattended. This is true even of my affordable manufactured dolls because I still love them, although I'm less paranoid about children in that case. With adults, I try to strike a balance between using good judgment and sharing the joy that holding one of these babies can bring. I do think they're made to be handled with care, and I'd feel a little sad if I was fascinated by one and couldn't hold it because that's how I see things. I have lifelike dolls because a couple of kind people let me hold theirs. So I like to extend that same trust, but I do take time to assess someone's attitude and character first.
I don't understand it either, sis! I realize that he was a toddler and that he didn't know any better, but the parents did! I just don't think anyone respects other people's property these days. They were coming to look at this house to purchase, and we still live here, so our belongings are hands off! But of course, with someone who is interested in the Hobby and would like to hold one of my dolls to experience them, I would allow that. I love bringing the joy of these babies to other people and turning other people onto the hobby. But of course, these people coming in to look at the house had no intention of joining the hobby and absolutely had no respect for my things. I don't blame the toddler. He was just being a toddler. But the parents sure weren't being parents...Ugh! Hugs and love to you!! 💜💜💜
She’s so stinking adorable 😊I love the hair bow on her. But what doesn’t look adorable on her!? I once went to a store that they know me as the doll lady. They all know that my dolls are expensive and that they are to only be looked at. Well, I was looking on a rack for my size and the stroller was right by my side but an older lady PICKED UP MY CLAIRE TAYLOR EDITION DOLL , SUPER QUIETLY OUT THE STROLLER 😳😡🤬!! WTF! Ok let’s just say that it didn’t good well AT ALL AND IM SORRY( not sorry)BUT I WAS NOT NICE.. WHO DOES THAT! Even the people that worked the store was on her about that..any ways thanks for sharing lovely
Thank you so much! I just absolutely love this baby! Oh my word I would have flipped out too if somebody just reached into my stroller and picked up my baby! They wouldn't do that to a real baby so why do they think it's okay to do it with our dolls? It surely isn't!
Im a helicopter mom with my dolls and i don't even let my children play with them course theyre young but still. I get so mad st my husband when he lets our daughter hold one of my silicone dolls! She is gentle with em but still i do worry. As for an incident ive had literally had someone not gonna name names but take and gouge my silicone doll that i paid for i was so upset i cried!
Oh my gosh that is so horrible! I would have had the doll repaired and then I would have taken them to court with the bill to repay me! That is damaged of property and it definitely would have held up in court.
I have had a grown adult start poking my silicone to where I had to ask her to please stop as these are collectibles and not toys. Even my young grand-babies know these dolls aren’t toys and when they want to look or touch, they come and ask me. I am very protective of my dolls and cringe when new people are coming over.
Girl.......I feel triggered just listening to this.........all of my nooooo! I would have told them immediately that they need to hold their child and not to allow them to touch anything as they are high end collectibles! I do NOT allow anyone into my nursery and my whole family knows never to go into that space unless they ask me and only if I'm with them! Lol! That's how protective I am of my dolls! There's way too money and way too much of my emotions invested into them to even risk anyone to ever mess with them! This is also why I would not allow even other collectors to hold or touch my dolls.......sorry but not all collectors know how to be careful with especially silicone dolls so all of my nope! Hell to the no!!! Lol! Not doing it! I cringe when I see people passing everyone's dolls around at meet ups. I've seen dolls get ruined at doll shows and meetups, so no! I know I will come across as harsh but I don't care......when I have tens of thousands of dollars invested into a single doll I will not let others handle them, let alone a child of any age! I will always err on the side of caution with my babies! Thank you for sharing........now I feel all sorts of twitchy thinking of all the ways damage could be done by others touching our dolls! Lol! Sending lots of hugs your way and I hope that you get moved and settled as quickly as possible into your new home. Adalyn looks super cute btw! xxxooo's
Thank you! With some people, I don't think they realize how delicate they are, and then with others, I think they do realize how delicate they are, and they just don't care to handle them carefully. I had a cousin of mine asked me what do you think would happen if you walked in Walmart with that baby and then just picked it up by its arm and slung it over your head and I said well first of all I would never do that because that would be damaging to the doll that cost way too much money and secondly what kind of Twisted sense of humor would someone have in order to make people think you are twirling a baby over your head like a helicopter? People just don't think because they don't respect our hobby mostly as far as the children go, I think some parents may have a sense of entitlement that their child should just be able to have whatever they want . But that's not the way the world works, and any parent who thinks that their child should be allowed to do whatever they want is setting them up for failure, that's for sure. I get nervous thinking about someone else messing with my dolls, too. That's like with Adalyn, she has armature in both her arms and legs, but you can not straighten them out all the way, or it would rip the silicone. I would be devastated if someone did that to her! Whether people just don't understand or they just don't care, either way, we have to make sure our dolls are protected.
Omg….those stories really upset me! What’s wrong with people? I would never allow my baby touch someone’s stuff , I just don’t get why you had to say anything. They were walking through your home…not a toy store. I would’ve responded the same way as I am very protective of my babies
I don't know why some people are like that! It had me so paranoid that whenever other people would come and look, I would hover over them the whole time they were there. Thankfully, we have now moved out of that house, and we have a new home, so we don't have to put up with buyers traipsing through the house any longer. Thank you so much for watching! Hugs and love to you! 💜

I think also people don't realize how much these babies are. I've had a lot of people say " oh I want one" then they ask how much and I tell them and their face is like😳 lol
Oh I know! I've had the same thing happened to me and I'm like you do realize these are handmade items and that these dolls start out from a handful of clay and our hand sculpted and are not made by machine. They don't realize the hours, blood, sweat, and tears that literally go into all of these dolls coming to fruition. Hugs 💜
@@LightHeartedLifeCollectibles exactly
I have had that happen before and I went off 😮 told the parents to control their kid , this isn't your house , better said then the outcome if something was to happen to one of my dolls
Absolutely! I promise you they wouldn't like the bill that was sent to them to have to pay to repair the doll!
I hover over my babies even with adults. They don’t seem to comprehend these dolls have to be treated like A REAL BABY… when they don’t handle my baby like I would, I just take my baby away from them. They look at me funny but I don’t care. My babies costed “ME, A LOT of money”.
You are so right, and you would think that of all people adults would know how to handle valuables! That's exactly what these babies are! They are valuable collectibles that we indeed pay a lot of money for. It's totally disrespectful to mistreat something valuable but especially if it doesn't belong to you. I treat something with extra special care just because it may belong to someone else. Don't get me wrong, I treat my babies with care as well, but I am especially going to be extra careful with a doll that doesn't belong to me if I'm allowed to hold it.
@@LightHeartedLifeCollectibles I have had so many adult women grab my doll and say, let me see that thing and treat it like you would a teddy bear. That’s when I took it away from them and pointed out how much it cost me. I hate having to do that. But I wanted them to know how close they were to buying me another one. 🤭🤭
@TheBabyPatch I don't blame you one bit for taking it away from them.... like O said before, they don't respect our hobby or our dolls, and they handle them roughly on purpose, I think.
@@LightHeartedLifeCollectibles when I was watching them, I thought the very same thing.
Oh my !! People are so rude I would have flipped out
Trust me it was hard for me to hold it together!
Oh I would have freaked out. Lol but the more the point is you don’t let your child bother other people’s belongings. I have them all over my house right now and I wouldn’t want them grabbing up things.
I am soooo protective. And when I first started making them I took one to church to show my friends. And a lady came up and grabbed her up by one arm and was slinging her around laughing to make other people freak out that didn’t know she was a doll. To say the least I was not happy. And this was a grown person.
Oh, trust me, I was not happy about it at all, and I was freaking out! That's why there is no way on Earth I would let anyone tore this house without me being here. Once we get all of our stuff out, of course, it's not going to matter any longer, but until then, I just have to be super diligent and super protective!
Yeah that lady at church would have definitely gotten a piece of my mind! They definitely know better than that it's just they want to poke fun at us and I feel like bothering one of our dolls is like the ultimate way to get a rise out of us.
Wow! Those people were rude just letting their kid run around because they saw toys out. I just don't understand that level of entitlement! They deserved not to get to enjoy themselves and all the toddler screaming! LOL! Sorry, but they did! How protective I am depends on the situation and who I'm with. I'm very protective around children, especially children I don't know, even if I know their parents well. When I take a doll somewhere with me, I always use a baby sling and never, ever leave them unattended. This is true even of my affordable manufactured dolls because I still love them, although I'm less paranoid about children in that case. With adults, I try to strike a balance between using good judgment and sharing the joy that holding one of these babies can bring. I do think they're made to be handled with care, and I'd feel a little sad if I was fascinated by one and couldn't hold it because that's how I see things. I have lifelike dolls because a couple of kind people let me hold theirs. So I like to extend that same trust, but I do take time to assess someone's attitude and character first.
I don't understand it either, sis! I realize that he was a toddler and that he didn't know any better, but the parents did! I just don't think anyone respects other people's property these days. They were coming to look at this house to purchase, and we still live here, so our belongings are hands off! But of course, with someone who is interested in the Hobby and would like to hold one of my dolls to experience them, I would allow that. I love bringing the joy of these babies to other people and turning other people onto the hobby. But of course, these people coming in to look at the house had no intention of joining the hobby and absolutely had no respect for my things. I don't blame the toddler. He was just being a toddler. But the parents sure weren't being parents...Ugh! Hugs and love to you!! 💜💜💜
She’s so stinking adorable 😊I love the hair bow on her. But what doesn’t look adorable on her!? I once went to a store that they know me as the doll lady. They all know that my dolls are expensive and that they are to only be looked at. Well, I was looking on a rack for my size and the stroller was right by my side but an older lady PICKED UP MY CLAIRE TAYLOR EDITION DOLL , SUPER QUIETLY OUT THE STROLLER 😳😡🤬!! WTF! Ok let’s just say that it didn’t good well AT ALL AND IM SORRY( not sorry)BUT I WAS NOT NICE.. WHO DOES THAT! Even the people that worked the store was on her about that..any ways thanks for sharing lovely
Thank you so much! I just absolutely love this baby! Oh my word I would have flipped out too if somebody just reached into my stroller and picked up my baby! They wouldn't do that to a real baby so why do they think it's okay to do it with our dolls? It surely isn't!
My Grandchildren have damaged a couple of babies. So I am much more careful now 😢
Sorry to hear that. It pays to be careful. Children just aren't going to be mindful like we adults are.
Im a helicopter mom with my dolls and i don't even let my children play with them course theyre young but still. I get so mad st my husband when he lets our daughter hold one of my silicone dolls! She is gentle with em but still i do worry. As for an incident ive had literally had someone not gonna name names but take and gouge my silicone doll that i paid for i was so upset i cried!
Oh my gosh that is so horrible! I would have had the doll repaired and then I would have taken them to court with the bill to repay me! That is damaged of property and it definitely would have held up in court.
I have had a grown adult start poking my silicone to where I had to ask her to please stop as these are collectibles and not toys. Even my young grand-babies know these dolls aren’t toys and when they want to look or touch, they come and ask me. I am very protective of my dolls and cringe when new people are coming over.
Oh my goodness! That makes it even worse when a grown adult does it! SMH!
Girl.......I feel triggered just listening to this.........all of my nooooo! I would have told them immediately that they need to hold their child and not to allow them to touch anything as they are high end collectibles! I do NOT allow anyone into my nursery and my whole family knows never to go into that space unless they ask me and only if I'm with them! Lol! That's how protective I am of my dolls! There's way too money and way too much of my emotions invested into them to even risk anyone to ever mess with them! This is also why I would not allow even other collectors to hold or touch my dolls.......sorry but not all collectors know how to be careful with especially silicone dolls so all of my nope! Hell to the no!!! Lol! Not doing it! I cringe when I see people passing everyone's dolls around at meet ups. I've seen dolls get ruined at doll shows and meetups, so no! I know I will come across as harsh but I don't care......when I have tens of thousands of dollars invested into a single doll I will not let others handle them, let alone a child of any age! I will always err on the side of caution with my babies! Thank you for sharing........now I feel all sorts of twitchy thinking of all the ways damage could be done by others touching our dolls! Lol! Sending lots of hugs your way and I hope that you get moved and settled as quickly as possible into your new home. Adalyn looks super cute btw! xxxooo's
Thank you! With some people, I don't think they realize how delicate they are, and then with others, I think they do realize how delicate they are, and they just don't care to handle them carefully. I had a cousin of mine asked me what do you think would happen if you walked in Walmart with that baby and then just picked it up by its arm and slung it over your head and I said well first of all I would never do that because that would be damaging to the doll that cost way too much money and secondly what kind of Twisted sense of humor would someone have in order to make people think you are twirling a baby over your head like a helicopter? People just don't think because they don't respect our hobby mostly as far as the children go, I think some parents may have a sense of entitlement that their child should just be able to have whatever they want . But that's not the way the world works, and any parent who thinks that their child should be allowed to do whatever they want is setting them up for failure, that's for sure. I get nervous thinking about someone else messing with my dolls, too. That's like with Adalyn, she has armature in both her arms and legs, but you can not straighten them out all the way, or it would rip the silicone. I would be devastated if someone did that to her! Whether people just don't understand or they just don't care, either way, we have to make sure our dolls are protected.
Omg….those stories really upset me! What’s wrong with people? I would never allow my baby touch someone’s stuff , I just don’t get why you had to say anything. They were walking through your home…not a toy store. I would’ve responded the same way as I am very protective of my babies
I don't know why some people are like that! It had me so paranoid that whenever other people would come and look, I would hover over them the whole time they were there. Thankfully, we have now moved out of that house, and we have a new home, so we don't have to put up with buyers traipsing through the house any longer. Thank you so much for watching! Hugs and love to you! 💜
