Hi! Everyone
Well I guess I should introduce myself cause I have been with this forum for over a year and thought it is time.
I’m Janlene. My real name is Janet Arlene hence Janlene. I’ve been married for 29 yrs. Have 2 great kids, a boy and a girl, I guess you would say they are not kids anymore but to me they will always be. LOL
I started dolling with my daughter Amberrose. She has the site called The Yellow Rose. We started about 11 years ago with Drag and Drop and have worked ourselves to the way we make dolls today. It was in 1998 with my daughter Girl Scout troop, I was the leader of the troop and I wanted the girls {12} to work on a badge together so, they pick to work on their computer badge. They each had to make a page on out GS web site. So I went surfing the web to think something 12 little 9-year-old girls can do and I found dolling. They all worked on it and got the badge but out of 12 girls in the troop, my daughter is the only one who has stay with dolling. She was 9 when we started and is now 19 and said she has no plans of quitting. We will see when she finds a man. LOL
I live in California near the Happiest Place on Earth where my family goes a lot through the year.
My Interests and hobbies are doing many thing kinds if crafts. Painting, Crocheting, I use to designing costumes and making them for people and dolls. Shirley Temple doll dresses for a store. Making porcelain dolls. I collect real dolls.
I have collected real dolls ever since I was a little girl. That is were the Shirley Temple clothes come in. My mom bought me my first antique Shirley Temple in the late 60’s, but she didn’t have her original dress on so, I made a new one to look like what she wore in the 1930 movies. I’ve been sewing since I was 7 yrs. taught by an old fashion grandmother, who taught me to also crochet. I made porcelain dolls but haven’t made one in 10 years so I have a bone yard in the garage [that is what my hubby calls it].
I collect all kinds of Disney memorabilia, Disney Plate, Disney Figurines, Hallmark Christmas things, Santa Claus and Snowmen. Oh I’m also doing our family genealogy, been working on since High school so that make it over 35 years and it still not done. Found out so far that lots of my greats grandparents were Kings and Queens.
My favorite Color is the Rainbow but if I had to pick just one it would be teal I guess.
If you would like to know anything more just ask.
