Two of Our Past Giveaway Dolls in Their New Homes!

Winners occasionally send us pics of the dolls we have sent them as prizes - which we heartily welcome - we love seeing the dolls in their new homes!

And sometimes, we actually remember to post them for y'alls to see!

First, here is Kanani (who was the 2011 Summer Photo Contest prize), posing with Jess - the star doll who "won" the contest. :-)

And second, here is #55, now Natalie - one of the prize dolls from the 2011 Fall/Winter Doll Giveaway. She is wearing a dress from Dancing with Needles and Kit's sweater. :-)

Thanks for the awesome pics winners!

If there is anyone else out there who wants to share photos here of items they have won through the blog - feel free to send them to nora.demington@gmail.com! :-D

Photo Number One

Hi! It’s me, Lea again! It’s been too hot to bake inside so I thought I’d take my friends outside to cook some hot dogs and roast some marshmallows. Four of us trekked out to the backyard with our camping gear. We brought food, a tent, and a backpack with a book of ghost stories for when it gets dark. There’s nothing better than camping with your friends in the backyard on a summer day!

Photo Number Two

Elizabeth decided to take a stroll in the steady rain to break in her new rain boots. I guess this was the fun thing to do since Molly and Emily decided to walk around, too. And a curious Josefina poked her head out the window to see what was going on.

Photo Number Three

On a miserable cloudy Sunday afternoon, Caroline decides to curl up with her favourite book series and thus envision herself as a Hogwarts student. She daydreams about herself receiving her Hogwarts acceptance letter, wearing her uniform, (she was sorted into Slytherin, by the way. Caroline is very ambitious, a strong leader, and achievement-oriented, which are some of the traits of a Slytherin.) and holding her wand.

My ideas for this final round came about after watching the final Harry Potter film in theatres this summer. I've always wanted to own a Hogwarts uniform for my dolls to wear, so after watching the film, I got to work and recreated the uniform and some other props for my dolls to use. Since it is nearing the time to go back to school, I thought that I could use my freshly made uniform and props for my final round entry.

Photo Number Four

Fearsome Pirate Jess McConnel (There should be a CAPTAIN in there somewhere…) Oh right, CAPTAIN Jess McConnel and her dog, Coconut, have sailed the seas to an unknown island to find buried treasure. They found a map and key on a different island and are determined to find the treasure. As they reach the island, they start following the map, four paces to the east, five paces to the south, and three paces to the east. As they take the last step, they look around for an X.  Coconut notices the X drawn in the sand and barks, then Captain Jess says, “Oy! Thar 'tis!”, and they start digging and digging until they come upon the buried treasure!

Thank you for participating in this contest everyone!

Activity Four Winner Announced! Final Round Begins!

Hola! We finally get around to doing our job. We'd love to say we are on vacation, but we really aren't. Haha.

So we have tallied the votes and the entrants with the most votes were # 1, 2, 16, 20, 21 and 22. Some of the voting numbers were tied, so instead of just 5 people to choose from (20% of 24).... we have 6 entrants to choose from. That is the basic info, just fyi. There were a lot of good pics with many votes -- but only one person can win. ;-)

After much deliberation, Penny chose......

Photo Number Twenty as the winner of Activity Four!

Congratulations Elizabeth!

Okay, this means we have the four finalists that should submit photographs 

for the Final Round.

Your Final Round photographs are due two weeks from today 

(a little extra time to work on them). 

So the four Final Round participants need to please send in your photos on or before Monday, August 29th, 2011 to nora.demington@gmail.com.

The Final Round: Your Creativity!

The winners of the four previous rounds are asked to please submit a final photo for a chance to win a doll as the first prize. This photo should include your "star" doll and showcase your creativity. It is sort of like AG Playthings "Anything Goes" round. It has to be something different than your previous photo entries, and since there aren't really any "instructions" it can be a little more challenging. It's a chance to put your thinking cap on and go "outside the box." Email us the photo at nora.demington@gmail.com. And include some info about your ideas for the photo. Due Date: August 29th, 2011

Then a week of voting will commence, Penny chooses a winner from the top 50% (the two people with the most votes), and that person will be asked to choose which doll they would like as their prize: Kanani, Ivy or MyAG #26. The other 3 people will also win prizes: AG gift certificates, Liberty Jane clothing, and Megori Girls sandals. Exciting!

Things to Keep in Mind: 

Using Photoshop and other photo editing programs is fine.


The Final Round will be for photographs only, no videos. Videos will not be accepted.


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

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? You probably have some -- so feel free to ask! :-D

And remember, the four finalists' Final Round photos are due Monday, August 29th!!

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

 

Good luck everyone!

And thank you for participating in this contest!

 

p.s. If you aren't one of the four finalists, but you still want to send us a "Your Creativity" photo -- we will accept them and we will post them after the Final Round is complete. :-)

Activity Four Winner TBA on Monday

We are still on our voyage and have yet to calculate all of the Activity Four votes -- and that means we can't pick a winner yet.

But we do plan on calculating them and picking a winner on Monday when we will have a bit of free time. So that is the point of this post, basically to say "Wait until Monday." ;-)

Oooooo, the suspense!!!!!

Last Day to Vote for Activity Four Photos!

We have appeared out of the mists of our busy, busy trip to make sure everyone votes for at least one Activity Four photo before tomorrow. In other words, as the title states, today is the last day to get your votes in for Activity Four of the 2011 Doll Photo Contest! ;-)

Go here to see the pics: http://thedollwardrobe.blogspot.com/2011/08/activity-four-photos-voting-starts.html

And then send in your vote to nora.demington@gmail.com. You can vote for more than one pic. Just don't vote more than one time for a pic. :-)

Please vote today and help our contest! We appreciate everyone's participation!

You will help determine who gets into the

Final Round!

Activity Four Photos: Voting Starts Today!

Hola! Sorry for the delay -- had this post all ready and then accidentally deleted 1/3 of it while editing. D'oh and carp! But now here are all of the Activity Four "Behind the Scenes" photos for you to start voting on. Huzzah!

If you sent in a photo and you don't see it here, please email it again to nora.demington@gmail.com as soon as possible. And if we made any errors with your photos and write-ups - please let us know asap. :-)

So please vote for at least one of these photos on or before Friday, August 12th, 2011. Send in your 
votes to nora.demington@gmail.com. If you want to vote for more than one photo, please do. Only emailed votes count.

Photo Number One

Jenny preparing herself for a photoshoot with a quick spa session!!

Photo Number Two

"WE SWEAR WE AREN'T PLAYING FOR MONEY!!!"  

Between photo shoots, Joy and her sister Ellie, and friend Lanie hang out and play cards in Joy's room.  In this photo they get caught allegedly playing Uno for money.  

Photo Number Three

Stephanie has to make a last-minute run for Starbucks before her photo shoot- What a diva! 

Photo Number Four

After getting Kanani to stand in the grass with the lighting just right, Kanani fell over (thanks a lot, Kanani). Trip, sprawl, doll took a fall.

Photo Number Five

One day Samantha, Julie, and Kanani were at ballet class. They were all practicing their twirls for the upcoming ballet recital when Julie lost her balance and they all 3 fell like a line of dominoes!............ P.S. The ballet recital turned out BEAUTIFULLY!!!

Photo Number Six

Ruthie decides to try her hand at balancing a few of her favorite dishes while waiting for her photo shoot.

Photo Number Seven

Jenna sneaks off between photo shoots to see if she can take a few swings out on the on-site golf course before she is needed again.

Photo Number Eight

Felicity is a bit of a photographer, and also loves to make movies. 

Director, photographer, she loves it all!

Photo Number Nine

Behind Scenes Kirsten has no choice but to do school...

Photo Number Ten

Whenever Ruthie's not getting her picture taken, she's usually designing and making clothes. She loves fashion! She wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up.

Photo Number Eleven

Samantha whispers something in the dog's ear as she walks by.

Photo Number Twelve

It's a very exciting day at the races. How did it all start you may wonder? Well in the Activity 1 Photo-shoot, Laura was posing on her horse UNTIL...... dolls came into the scene declaring they race in a dolly derby on an animal of their choice. Okay! The race is just to begin! But wait look.......

the dolls are on animals! Look at Ella, she's on a big poodle! The wind is whipping through their hair as they speed around and around. Who do YOU think will win? 

Photo Number Thirteen

Behind the Scenes with Mia: I'm usually very busy. Especially with make-up and stuff :)

Photo Number Fourteen

When I'm not taking Ella's picture she can almost always be found in the camper with Lanie and Claire.  Ella, Lanie, and Claire love to hang out together.  They eat, joke around, and play with Lanie's bunny, Lulu.

Photo Number Fifteen

A couple days ago I was reading a book on my bed 

when I heard a loud noise. I looked up at my desk

 and what did I find? Hmm.... To me it looks like

 someone (Cara) pushed my cousin's doll over. Busted!

Photo Number Sixteen

Jessica makes clothes behind the scenes. A 13 year old girl can never have enough clothes, (or anyone!) right? So, she learned to sew from me, and whenever I go into the sewing room, I already hear the machine whirring away. Here is a picture of her sewing a pair of jeans. She is very concentrated!

Photo Number Seventeen

This is a photo from behind the scenes of my last round -- fashion is fabulous.  Before I could model my fierce dress, I had to get my hair and makeup fixed so I could be ready for my close up!

Photo Number Eighteen

Sunny entered an acting, singing, and modeling contest, this is a picture of her getting ready for the final acting round. She is reading a book on drama, while trying to brush her hair, and quench her thirst. Incidentally, Sunny is giving one of my other dolls acting lessons. The only thing Rilla (the doll she's teaching) wants to know, is how Sunny gets lead roles. Sunny hates to tell her the only thing you need for stardom is long blonde hair!

Photo Number Nineteen

OOPS!  Josie was being photographed for the cover of  "Fashion Weekly" magazine.   Suddenly, there was a loud crash.  Maya, the lighting tech,  had tripped over a chord and fallen into the "shot".   Maya laughed so hard, she cried.  So did the crew.  :) No dolls were harmed in the making of this photo.

Photo Number Twenty

Elizabeth decided to help her human with yard work by mowing the lawn. It is harder than it looks! Luckily, her friends were around to help her. Molly, Susan, and Kit take off running after her; Kaya tries to lasso the mower and Julie jumps out of the way just before the mower gets her. *No dolls were harmed in the making of this picture.*

Photo Number Twenty-One

Dear Diary,

So, I'm in the hair salon getting ready for ANTM filming right now and I'm reading PEOPLE Magazine. I just stumbled upon THE most embarrassing, most HUMILIATING article about me!! When I saw the article, I was like 'Ohh dear gawd help me!' 

"This butt look familiar? While going to her car after a nail salon visit, Sarah Murdoch drops her keys, falls in the process and rips the back of her skirt! How embarrassing!" is what it stated.  I was hoping so badly the paparazzi wouldn't notice!! There was a rock in front of me annnnd I tripped! Now the whole world is going to think I'm clumsy. Wonderful! Worst part is, I chose to wear an outfit similar to the pic in that article that was taken last week. I don't ever want to step foot outside now hahahaaa!

Love,

Sarah ♡

Photo Number Twenty-Two

When we did the fashion photo shoot during the last round, I could tell Charlie was getting really tired of posing for all of the pictures. I decided to give her a little break. She was so excited!  She grabbed my daughter's magnifying glass and set out exploring the backyard (one of her favorite things to do). 

    After a while, when she hadn't come back, I went to look for her.  I finally found her sitting in her favorite climbing tree.  What a sight she was!  Her skirt was all scrunched up around her, her hair was a tangled mess, and her face was smudged with dirt.  She was very busy leaning over a tree branch, observing a spider web through her magnifying glass. I just had to take a picture. :)  I'm glad I got there when I did, because she nearly fell out of the tree shortly after this photo was taken. Thankfully, I was there to catch her!

    Needless to say, it took a while to get her cleaned up for the rest of the fashion photos. She was very compliant, but I could tell she was relieved when that round was over! Within minutes, she was back in her comfy jeans. :)

Photo Number Twenty-Three

Rapunzel rushes down clinging to a vine, making sure no one is watching her.

"Phew! After all this fuss about my new movie, I never get a chance to get away.

It's so tiring to take pictures, I think I'll enjoy this wonderful moment." 

Photo Number Twenty-Four

Felicity takes an anxious peek from behind the curtains as she excitedly awaits her moment on stage.

Thanks for reading through this post! 

Please send in your vote to nora.demington@gmail.com before August 12th.

If you sent in something and haven't received a "Received your entry. :-)" reply that means we didn't get it -- just FYI.

Sorry this post isn't more exciting. Our next doll comparison post will be up tomorrow with lots of pics - we just don't have enough free time today to finish it up. So stay tuned blog readers! :-)

Go here to learn more about this part of the contest: http://thedollwardrobe.blogspot.com/2011/07/activity-three-winner-announced.html

Activity Three Winner Announced -- Activity Four Begins!

We tallied the votes to judge a winner for Activity Three. 

Again, it was a very competitive round. Given the fact that there were 39 entries, we needed to find out who the 8 people were with the most votes. But there were a lot of ties in the voting count. So we ended up with 12 in the judgment pool: 5, 10, 12, 13, 17, 21, 23, 25, 31, 32, 36, and 37. Number 8 was also in there, but she is the winner of Activity One. Just FYI so you know what was popular. :-)

Penny spent a lot of time trying to pick one and....

Photo Number Ten was chosen as the winner of Activity Three!

Congratulations Caroline!

Now this means that the owner of "Photo Number Ten" cannot win Activity Four, but can still enter a photo 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 -- Please enter Activity Four and you might make it to the "Final Round" as well!

Since Activity Three is officially completed, Activity Four begins today. Yay!

Activity Four: Behind the Scenes...

This is the last opportunity to get a chance to compete in the "Final Round." The pressure! Haha. For this photo we are interested in seeing what goes on in "the secret life" of your dolls. 


It can be bloopers from the previous photo shoots. Or a shot of what your dolls were doing while you were prepping those shoots. Your "star" doll demanding her caramel macchiato with double whip cream... or something even more hilarious and creative than we can think of right now... 


***Think of this photo as the "Special Features" section on a DVD movie disc, going beyond the "main film." We even recommend researching DVD special features for ideas. Sounds like good summer homework, right? Heehee.


Email us the photo at nora.demington@gmail.com. And include some info about your ideas for the photo. Due Date: Monday, August 1st. We extended the amount of time to work on this photo to two weeks in case people have a lot of summer stuff happening this month.

Then about a week of voting will commence, Penny chooses a winner from the top 20%, and that person will be entered in the "Final Round." (Same schtick as for the other 3 Activities.)


If you didn't enter Activity One, Two and/or Three, you can still enter this Activity. And as before, 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 Four photo is due Monday, August 1st!

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

Good luck everyone!

Activity Three Entries! Start Voting Today!

Sorry for the delay everyone - holiday activities got in the way of finishing this post. 

But we are done now!

Well the extended due date and the offer of AG gift certificates seemed to work. We got our number of entries back up to normal. Phew. Still, if y'all have suggestions for the next contest let us know. Like if it should be shorter (less Activities). Or the categories should be less-specific. Or anything you'd like to suggest to perhaps make the contest better next time. Please feel free to comment!

So here are the Activity Three Entries- this time we got some Youtube entries as well. No rule against those. So if anyone wants to do a Youtube vid -- please feel free to do so.

If you sent in a photo and you don't see it here, please email it again to nora.demington@gmail.com as soon as possible. And if we made any errors with your photos and write-ups - please let us know asap. :-)

So please vote for at least one of these photos on or before Thursday, July 14th, 2011. Send in your votes to nora.demington@gmail.com. If you want to vote for more than one photo, please do.

Photo Number One

"When I hear 'fashion is fabulous,' I think of modeling and all the glamor and hard work associated with it.  I'm modeling a fierce dress by All Dolled Up, and my friend Quinn is the dressmaker, putting on the last minute details.  My friend Ashley is a photographer getting a candid shot of me!"

Photo Number Two

"We adopted Samantha from a thrift store a few years ago, so she didn't come to us with any of her original clothing.  We've had lots of fun making new outfits for her, especially modern ones.  Today, Samantha is showing off her latest magazine cover where she debuts a brand new designer line of clothes!  She's ready for summer fun in her capris and lightweight shrug.  If you could peek inside the magazine you could read all about the Felicity sighting at the new AG store in Tyson's Corner Center as well as see some of Kanani's swim set.  Guess you'll just have to find a copy on your newsstand ;) Samantha reminds all of us that it doesn't matter where you come from, everyone is beautiful inside and out!"

Photo Number Three

"Ruthie is lost in a romantic daydream."

Photo Number Four

"Kanani is modeling Gwen's Sundress. It's perfect for summer. The pretty pink flowers on the dress add a pop of color. The buttons on the dress are absolutely perfect for adding a little extra detail to her dress. The white of the dress really complements Kanani's coloring. Kanani told me that it was extremely comfortable (and looked amazing on her)! This dress is perfect for summer!"

Photo Number Five

"Molly loves the natural world around her. Living in Africa keeps her close to her world. A while ago she enjoyed a camping trip to a game farm where they specialize in the breeding of Giraffe. Her story was chosen this month for 'Planet Earth' magazine. I must say she thoroughly enjoyed posing with this baby giraffe... she also got a few licks from the curious little fellow!"

Photo Number Six

"Jenny gets caught with bed head hair and is put on the cover of 'Doll Fashion and Opinion,' the local fashion magazine! Oh no!!!"

Photo Number Seven

"Kanani loves to paddleboard at the beach, and was ecstatic when Tropical Beach Jewelers asked her to do an ad to be featured in a magazine! Nani had tons of fun at her photo shoot - she loved getting her hair fixed and her wardrobe changed! Most of all, she loved modeling her pretty beach necklace!"

Photo Number Eight

"Jess Mcconnel on the cover of 'doll FASHION' magazine wearing a handmade dress (pattern from Liberty Jane Clothing). :)"

Photo Number Nine

"Here is Kirsten Mae Larson.  She is modeling the black long sleeve tee shirt, pink camo skirt, white tights and black converse.  Along with her American Flag and her typical hairstyle of braids.  She was announced Winner of my Fashion contest."

Photo Number Ten

"One of Caroline's hobbies she does in her spare time is read fashion magazines, so I have incorporated her love for fashion and put her on the cover of her favourite magazine, Vogue. In her interview for Vogue, she discusses her secrets to keeping up with the ever-changing trends for every season by finding fashionable, yet affordable clothing and reveals her favourite fashion trends for summer 2011. Also featured in this issue are hairstyles for all hair types and 50 fresh looks for the summer season."

 

Photo Number Eleven

"Mia is shooting the latest cover for 'Spirit Magazine!' It is full of fun ideas and great fashion inspiration for girls!"

Photo Number Twelve

"Joy loves clothes and fashion, but her mom says she is too young (she's 10) to model on a runway, or get her picture on the cover of a fashion magazine. (She would rather be behind the camera anyway!)  In this photo Joy has drawn a design for a new outfit and asked her mom for fabric scraps.  Her sister Ellie, who is learning to sew, is helping Joy turn her design into a real dress. Joy is hoping to wear her dress to a fancy party."

Photo Number Thirteen

"This is my doll being a model! She (and me) also loves reading The Doll Wardrobe, but loves it more when Karen is featured! When I heard the theme Fashion I thought of this blog and a magazine. When you put them together you get my entry!"

Photo Number Fourteen

"Felicity is wearing Gwen's meet dress, a Coconut t-shirt, and an Our Generation jacket. She loves to wear this outfit because it is bright and cheery, perfect for summer."

"Jo was very excited to be picked for this cover!  Especially when she found out she could wear her favorite poodle skirt.  She is an absolute fanatic about anything from the 1940's and 1950's.  She almost turned it down when she thought they were going to make her wear bell-bottoms, but fortunately the editors changed their mind.  Whew!"

"Jessica models for 'American Girl Doll magazine.' In this one, she got to go into the ocean and look at coral. 9 months later, here it is! She was very happy with how it turned out, and we both hope you love it! It took a few hours for this whole thing... :)"

"Emmie is the definition of that 'workaholic' and we all know we have a smidge of in us! She works as the fashion director for 'Teen Vogue' magazine. She always gets her work done and doesn't mess around! In this photo, she is fidgeting around with her computer that just doesn't want to turn on for her today! She is currently working on the 'top secret' Fall fashion issue, and her computer not turning on is definitely not helping!
She's also working on 'cleaning' up her crazy desk, crammed to the core with 'necessary, fashion-emergency things' handmade, A.G., and found in various places! (I'm sure coffee, Mt. Dew, and cherry pie have something to do with fashion Emmie!) Emmie's attire consists of her purple blazer and dress from Hadley's Modern Doll Fashions (A Liberty Jane Partner) and older purple glasses from A.G."

"Charlie is okay with dresses as long as she gets to wear her comfy cowgirl boots with them, so I thought it would be fun to do a photo shoot of her in a fancy dress with cowgirl boots.  I loved the idea of doing a fashion magazine cover, and the ideas just kept coming after that.  I thought about the types of articles that are normally found in magazines and tried to come up with similar articles that might be featured in a doll magazine. :)  Charlie had a lot of fun getting all dressed up, but she was relieved to get back into her jeans after we were done. ;)"

"Dear Diary,

Today was my first day of my first cycle on Australia's Next Top Model that I am hosting for the first time. I was pretty much nervous all day thinking about how I was going to do panel. I didn't want to crush anyone's dreams or anything so when it was time to do panel, I was positive but truthful. I chose Catherine, the beautiful brunette for best photo because of her vintage, elegant, black and white, beautiful photo! It was hard eliminating someone but I know they have a better future for them and that makes me feel better! :) 

Love,

Sarah Murdoch 

The dress Sarah is wearing is handmade by me :)"

"This is a picture of Sunny at her fashion conference, which was held in her local library. Sunny is really getting into telling the other dolls. (When I came in to take a picture, she nearly

smacked me with her sunglasses.) Molly is coming in to tell Sunny to be quiet before the librarians have to 'speak to her.'"
