Ainsley began her life as the adorable Sera sculpt by Marissa May. Through many hours of loving labor she has been transformed into the precious baby girl you see sleeping contently here. As with a real unborn child, it was difficult to know who little Ainsley would become when she was just a blank vinyl kit. As each step of her creation took place, more and more of who she would become was revealed. Through love, patience and faith, a new little creation came to life. This is what Blessed Beginnings Babies are all about.

Here are Ainsley's pertinent facts. The pictures say the rest.

Blessed Beginnings Studio is smoke-free and pet friendly. Our pets do not have access to my studio area.

Baby Ainsley was lovingly created in celebration of the beauty and sanctity of each new life that is conceived. A portion of the proceeds from her auction will go to help mothers in crisis pregnancies get access to counseling and support and hopefully choose life for their babies. A donation of 20% of her final selling price will go to Asheville Pregnancy Support Services. APSS is a Christian ministry defending the sanctity of life by offering loving support to women, teens and families facing a crisis pregnancy. Their goal is to provide alternatives to abortion through practical help, counseling, education, and pregnancy testing, all at no charge. APSS is a loving extension of local churches bringing healing and wholeness to lives traumatized by immorality and abortion. Their goal is to bring all families faced with an unplanned pregnancy to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and promote abstinence education and the Sanctity of Human Life to our community. Please understand that my support of a pro life organization does not mean that I am in any way judging any viewers who may have had an abortion, no matter the circumstances, or who may hold Pro Choice views. My goal is to help pregnant women facing a difficult and frightening time to find love, information and support.

Ainsley's reserve is $250.

New ebayers are welcome, as long as I know your intentions are serious. Bids not compliant with this will be cancelled. Also, please ask any questions prior to placing a bid.
