Congratulations on Bella, Deanna! No one deserves it more than you do! I'm thrilled I know you and have had the joy of taking a class from you.

Congratulations!!!

You are always an inspiration to me, and I am positively THRILLED for you! I don't always agree with the judging for this challenge, but this time, I say "here, here!"
:oD

PS: My word verification is "Gladette"...a future doll name? lol

Congratulations, Deanna. I have never seen a doll of yours I didn't think was wonderful.

I can't believe how far behind I am. I'd wanted to write to everyone individually, but after creating my "to-do" list for the next day or two, had better write a group response.

First of all, thank you for the congrats regarding my Hoffman doll (Bella) placing! I was really surprised, having seen many of the entries. I think all the dolls are fabulous this year!

Liz ~ the winners received an email a little in advance of the official announcement. I'm looking forward to seeing what next year's challenge fabric will be, and that info should arrive soon, I think.

Orice ~ don't you think it's about time for another doll class or get together of some sort? I miss you and the rest of the Moro gals ;-)

Bonnie ~ Wow! Thanks so much. That's quite a compliment, coming from such an accomplished dollmaker as yourself! I think "Gladette" is the perfect name for a doll. Let me know when you've finished her...

Dixie ~ thank you so much. You're an inspiration to all of us vintage doll lovers and repro wannabes! Like I said on our list - I'd be tickled to own a doll made by so many of the artists I know through the Internet - and to have one of yours right up there at the top.

Kate ~ and when will we see a Hoffman entry by you? You'd give everyone a run for their money!

Gotta start checking things off my list now - it's already mid afternoon.
