Thank-you, Debbie! My baby arrived!

My baby was delivered this morning around 9:30.  I apologize for not posting sooner, we just switched internet providers and I was trying to change over my email subscriptions before we lost our old email (ever forget your password and need them to send it, but don't have the old email address anymore for them to send it to?!).

I gotta admit, I've been disappointed in swaps before, so I am always very nervous when my baby arrives if I will love him/her or not.  Debbie, I am NOT disappointed!  I love my little one, I love her layette, I love the box closing, you did a fabulous job!  Thank you so much!
          

Now, on to the good stuff, box opening pictures!  Here's the box, decorated for baby's arrival.


Opening up!


Look at this gorgeous hand-made card!!!


Everything out of the box


All the goodies opened up, my baby has some good stuff!


Oh, I recognize those little hands!


She's still hiding!


There she is, my little Rosebud!


I waited to open her adoption paperwork until I saw who she was, I didn't want to ruin the surprise!


So cute!


I'll post more pictures in a minute.  Gotta help my son with something right now.

Oh my gosh. I love it all Rachel! The baby is adorable and you got lots of goodies. Congrats. Cant wait to see more pics.

She's beautiful♥ What a great box opening! Enjoy!

More pictures!  I had fun changing her clothes and taking pictures.  With each outfit, I thought "I'm going to leave her in this, because it's so cute", but then I'd change her and that outfit was so cute I wanted to leave her in that!
 


I simply ADORE everything about this little Carter's outfit.  The monkeys (my favorite animal) are super cute, and I love love love the outfits that have the little applique on the butt, so adorable!


She's so sweet!


Under the monkey outfit was this adorable onesie with pink ladybugs on it


Here is her knitted dress


And with sweater


And a hand-made dress with matching panties.  I am super picky when it comes to home-made sewn garments, but this one is fabulous.  The seams are well taken care of, the hem is spectacular, the details are wonderful, not sloppy at all, very well made.  Kudos!  (Did you make this Debbie?)




She is so tiny this cute bib covers most of her body! 


Paci in, snuggling dolly


She's so sweet, I'm glad I included the Rosebud sculpt on my list.     I was starting to get nervous I had added her, because if she isn't done right, she just isn't cute.  But, Debbie did a wonderful job!
         

Debbie, I wanted to share a couple pictures of the Rosebud I created.  She was hard to let go, so I'm so glad I have one of my own (reborn by a friend!) that I get to keep and cuddle!      

Yay! Debbie you did a spectacular job!!! Congratulations, Rachel!

She is absolutely beautiful!!!! I love it that our babies share their birthday Rachel!!!!! How bout that?

What a cute baby and beautiful goodies to boot!

She's a sweetie, that's for sure.  I love that our babies arrived on the same day, too Tina!  

Awwwww she is a sweetie   congrats Rachel and great job Debbie!

Such a pretty little thing!! I'm so impressed with all the babies!

            
OMG!!!! I am so glad you like her! I was so nervous as I have only reborned a couple of kits and Rosebud was my first attempt at rooting. Her hair looks better if you get it wet and let it get curly. I fell in love with Rosebud and thinking about ordering her for myself.

Rachel, I love your Rosebud also soooo stinking cute   I didn't make the white dress I bought it online... if I can remember correctly it came from a lady in England.

Here are two of my favorite pictures of her.

So sweet!  My pictures of her don't do her justice because it was cloudy and rainy today (all week). 

(Debbie, I just noticed we're almost exactly a year apart in age.  My birthday is January 18, 1975!)

She is sooooo sweet! Congrats!

Such a cutie! I love her light blond hair!

Oh Rachel, what a beautiful baby girl!! I love her hair too!! I loveeeeeeeeeee the monkey butt!!! :P You got lots of wonderful goodies too, you lucky girl!!!
