It all began at the end of 1998, when we both became full-time Drew Barrymore fans. With the help of the internet, we were indirectly connected through newsletters and message boards. But it wasn't until joining one forum in particular (The Grapevine) that the initial and existing friendship was sparked. We exchanged emails, letters, and Drew items for the next few years.

Finally, in the summer of 2001, we had our first of many "real-life" encounters. We shared with each other what our Drew collections were up to that point and oogled over the differences and similarities. In 2006, as serious collectors and best friends, we decided to embark on a mission to share with you our combined Drewseum.

Our collaboration process is a little out of the ordinary as we live about 3 hours away from each other (Ashley in Las Vegas, Anne near Los Angeles), so we do all our work over the internet via emails and chats as often as we can. Our collections are also separated among the two places but we consider what is ours separately to be part of one big heap that makes up what you see here. The archive is a constant work in progress as our collections are evergrowing, so stick with us as we strive to one day have the entirety of it up for viewing!
