1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    3. Wow, 200 entries. That's a pretty big turnout! I can't wait to see the entries.

    4. lol, well, not *quite* 200... but close!

      It will be a lot to look through... and if you guys have half as hard a time as we judges are having, it will be a *very* hard choice!

    5. You will all be amazed at the artistry, quality and above all cuteness!
      You all put so my thought and time into these pictures. I am overwhelmed. I asked my daughter to come see and tell me her favorites. And of course she picked ones completely different than me! The dolls usually freak her out, but even she was ohhing and ahing over a bunch of them. Not that I've converted her, but she'll eventually slip over to the puki side!

    6. Ooh how exciting! I really look forward to seeing them more than anything.

    7. Wee_Little_Faerie - if mini prizes are needed I have a boatload of rement/megahouse food items still in boxes and some furniture (chairs and the like, though Coby refuses to give up his TV and remote). I don't mind donating some

    8. LOL Spampy for your teenager conversion campaign (TCC (TM)). :lol:

      Several people have posted about rethinking their submissions or worrying theirs aren't good enough. I think everyone is wonderful for participating at all - there are so many places in the world that are cynical, how fun that someone can wave a flag and say "Hey, let's do this!" and we put on the show in the barn (old Mickey Mouse Club reference, that). And really, even if you're waffling right now, it's like Spampy said, different people can view the images and have totally different reactions - I am sure you sent in pictures that are wonderful. ^_^ Mine probably won't be of much notice, but I'm thinking of a poem I'll post on one and use it for my web site later on, it's all good. I am betting that after we see this parade we'll have a whole new higher level of cute standards....

      Puki is still very young, many people who ordered from the past couple of releases haven't received theirs yet and many people are still in the "saving for a doll" stage although they love the Pukis. If we were to have this next year I'm sure it would be well over 300 pictures. And possibly one very overwhelmed Yahoo account for wee_little_fairie... LOL

      I'm almost as much on pins and needles waiting for the pictures to be posted as waiting for my Momo who is due this week. :aheartbea:aheartbea:aheartbea to everyone who plays together, and to wlf for the great idea.

      :celebrate:dance:cheer

    9. Let me tell you, so far, every single judge who has submitted their 1st, 2nd & 3rd choices has submitted TOTALLY different images, lol!

      I really can't even begin to guess which way the people's choice will go.

      I also just wanted to repeat... there will be no double winners... every single prize will go to a different person... because with only 4 main prizes, I didn't think it was fair to let someone win more than one of them.

      I can't wait till tomorrow!!!!!
       
      #189 Wee_Little_Faerie, May 22, 2008
    10. Uh-oh... no ties??? How are the judges going to resolve that?????
      There must be some really cute entries!!! :D

       
      #190 th1, May 22, 2008
    11. probably through some intense negotiations....much like how arts grants are doled out XD

      maybe some bartering here and there, a bit of haggling and good ol debate ;)
       
      #191 rillystar, May 22, 2008
    12. Oh this is going to be ridiculously difficult.
      And so many people deserve to win! So I've aske WLF if I can add to the prize pool. It's not much, but I'll also be making some little panties to give out as puki prizes to those who deserve a very honorable mention!
       
      #192 spampy, May 22, 2008
    13. rillystar is also very kindly donating some honorable mention prizes too... I think everyone will be very happy, even if they don't win the big prizes :)
       
      #193 Wee_Little_Faerie, May 22, 2008
    14. WLF - if you have a number in mind let me know...otherwise it's gonna be a fairly large box of random stuff XD

      I may add one of my coveted Megahouse School desk and chair sets since I think I have 6 or 8 floating around and only 1 puki....
       
      #194 rillystar, May 22, 2008
    15. Siiiigh, you guys are so awesome :whee:

      Thank you to everyone who's donating prizes! :aheartbea

      I'm getting so excited! Can't wait to dive into almost 200 puki pictures!
       
      #195 T4124, May 22, 2008
    16. I know everyone would like a prize, but for those who don't get one, I want you to know I am going to be so thankful that you put so much cuteness out there, LOL, for all of us to enjoy!

      Will the pictures be on permanent display somwhere? I sure hope so! If not, I would like to offer my website for posting them permanently. I already know they're going to be so awesome and inspiring for people! They should be around to see :)

    17. Everyone has been very wonderful about this contest. Win loose or draw I think everyone who participated or helped should be proud!
       
      #197 Bird of Hermes, May 22, 2008
    18. IngieBee I think Fairyland is planning on hosting them on their website... I just don't know how many of them they're going to host!

      rillystar I'm pm'ing ya!

      Also, I just wanted to note (time for harsh realities *weep*):
      The only place that counts for the People's Choice is 1st place (the picture that gets the most votes) sadly, anyone else is just going to have to deal with *almost* winning the people's choice.

      Pretty much, the People's Choice and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes are entirely independent of one another, except for the fact that we won't allow repeat winners. (that's why the judges have chosen backups that will become honorable mentions... and I'm sure the other top "People's Choice" selections will be honorable mentions as well)

      The people's choice #1 winner will not change, but if whatever gets the people's choice award also happens to be one we (the judges) chose... well... that's why we have backups, because no 1 person will win multiple prizes! All winners will be revealed after I close the polls for the People's Choice.

    19. I'm so looking forward to seeing all the pictures! :dance

      It must have been a tremendous job to get them all organized!
       
      #199 Randomfish, May 22, 2008
    20. Looking forward to seeing them all. Thank you for making it a fair contest and thanks too to everyone donating extra prizes. That will be a nice surprise for the honourable mention winners.
