This story is old as marblies. It was written by Sheri, age 11 in 1992. Sheri is a friend of the family and saw the birth of marblies. 

"Hi and welcome to the wonderful land of marblies. At this moment you're probably wondering how we came to be. It all started one day when a little boy named Christopher was playing with marbles on his front porch.  All of a sudden the sky darkened and it started raining.  Afraid to ruin his new shoes Christopher ran inside, and forgot about his marbles. That night in his bed, Christopher remembered about his marbles. He got up, walked down the hall, and opened the door.  Right then he saw his marbles, they had arms and legs. However, they caught him watching and froze like a statue.  So, if you ever wonder what happens to all your marbles when you were younger remember they grow up too!"

If you were wondering about Sheri, she has grown up, married and is now a mother ..and as for Debby and I, we are still playing with marbles.

"I wanted to share a story with you about why marbles mean so much to me if you don't mind. I don't know why but I feel the need to tell you this.  When my brothers and sisters were little (about 25 years ago) we would go to the cemetery (a very small country cemetery) with my grandfather to visit my granny's grave. We always took flowers and worked and played there. There was a grave of a little boy who was 4, who had gotten killed. On his grave it was covered in marbles of all shapes and sizes. My little brother Billy would swipe as many marbles as his pockets could carry and take them home and we would play with them, when we would come back they would be covered again and he would take some more (he wouldn't take them all just a few)   As we grew older, we visited less and after we got to be teenagers my little brother noticed on one visit that there were no more marbles on the little boys grave. We eventually found out his Mom had passed away and that is when my brother Billy started taking marbles out to the cemetery every chance he got. He kept that grave full of marbles, (he said so other little boys could swipe them and have fun with them) Billy was killed when he was 30 years old and that was the saddest day of my life. He was a fun loving good natured kid who really cared about people. Now every chance I get I take marbles to the little boys grave, and I also take them to Billy's, they are usually covered, sometimes you can tell some are missing and I know my brother is smiling down on me. Until I am gone I will continue to do so. I know my children will after I am gone. I guess that is why your marbles mean so much to me. I will be putting the lady bugs out there and I think I will order the little angels next or the turtles, you have so many cute ones. I was so very happy with them, they are so perfect. I hope I didn't bother you with this story I just felt the need to let you know how much you lifted my spirits".  Thanks again, Lin

Dear Debby and Sidney,  I just received my marblies in the mail yesterday, and just had to tell you how much it brightened my day. Although I have had such good luck buying online, in terms of quick delivery, nice interactions, professional packaging, good quality merchandise etc , I have to say that your product, and the way it was packaged and delivered, was the best so far! On Friday morning, I had gone into the hospital for some surgery that I was very anxious about. Complications arose, and I was admitted overnight.  I had a very scary and stressful night there, with nurses and doctors watching me through the night. I was also given the news that I would never be able to have children.  When I was finally allowed home the next morning, I was emotionally and physically drained. My husband helped me up the stairs, and there on the front step was your little package. It was the only piece of mail I was excited to open! I opened it up and my mood instantly changed. There inside your carefully packaged box, were four of the most adorable creations I had ever seen. As cute as they looked in the photographs, they were cuter still in person. I love 70's nicnacs, so I am a sucker for anything having to do with frogs, owls, butterflys, snails etc. I really loved the snails! What a unique idea. Even my husband, who is not into "cute" things could not stop saying how cute they were, and kept taking them out of the box to look at them and touch them. They are just irresistably cute! The little note you added was so nice to read to. How wonderful that a married couple has created such a rewarding and special business. I took those little critters out of the box, and placed them on the coffee table in front of the couch where I spent the next 12 hours. This may sound crazy, but even with all of the discomfort and sadness I was feeling, looking at those adorable marblies that were made with such care, really helped. I will be adopting a little girl from China this year, and you can bet I will be filling her room with many of your wonderful marblies. They make great gifts and stocking stuffers, as they are so thoughtful, unique, and affordable. I am an elementary teacher too, so I will be buying many of these for my colleagues and students. We teachers just love adorable things! I think it would be cute if you glued some of these to driftwood or blocks of wood, especially the woodland critters like the frogs, snails and caterpillars. (Remember that kind of art from the 70's?) They would  also look cute in terrariums and in small potted plants. Are they waterproof?! Well, I guess I just wanted to let you know that you brought some sunshine into a pretty gloomy day. Thank you most sincerely.  Julie Verran

Hi! My name is Kerrie Murray and I had purchased some marblies and a couple of the pewter figurines and gave them as Christmas presents. I just HAD to write to tell the both of you how much all the recipients LOVED their marblies. I had gotten my mother both the ladybug and the rooster and her face absolutely lit up when she opened the package. My mother collects chickens and roosters, so the original, handmade rooster was one of her favorite gifts. I placed the little slip of paper with the history of your marblies creations in the box and my mother saved it. She does not own her own PC, so tonight she was at my home and I brought her to your website. She fell in love with EVERY ONE of your creations and we just ordered more. I had also bought my best friend one of the pewter figures as she collects them and she really loved it. I have never seen so many people so taken by any gift I have ever gotten them as I had seen once they opened your creations. I have told all my friends and family about your company and we all cannot wait to order more! Thank you both so much for creating such awesome little collectibles with such a personal touch. You have brought a lot of happiness into my family with your little marbles. Gratefully & admirably,  Kerrie Murray

Hi Sidney and Debby, I just received my Marblies in the mail. I couldn't believe how cute they were. I read some of the feedback you had on ebay, but I really didn't realize that they really were sooooooo cuuutttte! Seeing is definelty believing!!  Thanks a bunch. Tammy

When I got home from work last night my marblies were waiting for me in a perfect little package.  I was so excited!  When I opened the box the pictures did not do these cute little ladybugs justice.  I ADORE them!  I found myself looking at them on their shelf several times last night and this morning!  You both have such a wonderful talent, keep up the great work!!  Thanks so much!! Christy May

I received the Marblies today (pig family, pig on inner tube, angel) & I want you to know that I am just astounded at the beautiful creative work of you and Debby. I have a pretty extensive pig collection, and these Marblies are definitely my new prized possesions. Every collector I know is going to get these treats from me for birthdays and holidays, as you offer something for everyone! :)  Thank you, thank you and thank you again!   Take care,    Sunny

Received my marblies the other day. Oh they are so wonderful. I am so very impressed with your workmanship. I have given marblies to both family and friends as gifts and find they are the most perfect remembrance of a special occasion or a special person. At a time when good customer service seems to be falling by the wayside, I find that your product and prompt shipments are just as you state. I have never been disappointed. Thank You both so very much.  Christine Good
