Winner of Activity One Announced! And Activity Two Begins Today!

Tada! We have tallied your votes for Activity One, created the list of 9 possible winners (the 9 people with the most votes), and then Penny looked through them and picked the one that she thought was the best picture. Which means... we know the winner of Activity One....

Ooooooo! The suspense!

So the winner of Activity One is.....

Photo Number Seven!

Congratulations to the Winner!

Now this means that the owner of "Photo Number Seven" cannot win any of the other Activities, but can still enter photos in them if she wants.

And of course, if she wants a chance to win the doll, she'll have to enter the "Final Round."

For everyone who didn't win -- Keep entering the other Activities and you might make it to the "Final Round" as well!

This was a really close round -- there are a lot of good photographers out there and it was a tough decision. Our top three choices out of the top 9 were: Photo Number 4, Photo Number 7, and Photo Number 37. Just FYI.

Since Activity One is officially completed, Activity Two begins today. Yay!

Activity Two: Hooray for Handmade!

Take a photo of your doll that you featured in Activity One with something handmade. It can be something purchased or made by you or a family member or friend, etc. As long as it is handmade and for dollies. It can be clothing, or food, or furniture, or a hair accessory, anything really. The doll can be "modeling" the item or even showing us how to make it, or even something more creative that we can't come up with off the top of our head!

Email us the photo at nora.demington@gmail.com. And include some info about the handmade item(s). Due Date: Thursday, June 9th, about a week from today.

If you didn't enter Activity One, you can still enter any of the other Activities. Be sure to pick a "star doll" that you want to use in all subsequent Activities to use for Activity Two. We want consistency so people can recognize who they are voting for from one week to the next. Your "star doll" does not have to be an AG.

Things to Keep in Mind:

Using Photoshop and other photo editing programs is fine.

You can include more than one doll in your photos, but your "star" doll should be in all of the ones you enter.

If you win one activity, you can still enter the other activities and get votes -- but each person who enters can only win one activity -- that way we have 4 different people in the Final Round.

If you miss an activity, that is fine -- you don't have to participate in all four activities to be in the contest -- but doing all 4 does increase your chances of getting into the Final Round.

No human faces in the photos please -- remember: privacy is important! Hands are okay -- but no actually identifiable people.

Our email address is nora.demington@gmail.com. You will be using this to send in photos and to vote.

If you are younger than 13 have your parent/guardian email the photos to us (remember: internet safety is important!).

We will be posting the photos here at The Doll Wardrobe - so make sure your photo is something that you don't mind if the whole world sees it. (Again, this is why you and/or your family shouldn't be in the photo.)

Readers will be asked to vote for their favorite photo. Voting will be done by email -- to vote you just email me at nora.demington@gmail.com and say something like "I vote for photo #8." Everyone will have a week to vote, from the point when we post the photos.

The Doll Wardrobe does not share or sell your email to anyone. Only Penny sees your emails.

At the end of the contest we will email the winners for her/his shipping address. (This is why it is important you have a parent/guardian's permission to enter if you are under 18).

Any questions? Feel free to ask! :-D

And remember, if you want to participate in this contest, 

the Activity Two photo is due Thursday, June 9th!

Please email your photos to nora.demington@gmail.com.

Good luck everyone!
