ReplyDeleteCongratulations, that's terrific!!
ReplyDeleteDeanna, how wonderful. Congratulations! Now, I want to know how you found out so soon?!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations 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.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you Deanna. Next year, first place!

Are these the winning dolls? On the slide show banner you posted here on your blog? Wow! Indeed the dolls are pretty and unique.
ReplyDeleteOh! That’s great! Thank you for announcing the winners… and congratulations to all the winners.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteFirst 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.
