Creativity Contest! First Doll I Dressed Was A Storyteller! Dress A Doll And Win!

What is the contest?  Make and dress a doll no taller than six inches out of anything you can find that you would normally view as something else.  It could be a stick, clothes pin, drinking straws, spoon or sculpt your very own doll.  Start making it as something you would be proud of. 

Prize?  Visit the website of http://www.sandycalderon.com/ and select an undressed doll for $60.00 or less and I will dress it for you FREE!  Or if you want to dress your own doll, Sandy will mail it to you postage free. 
"The Storyteller" was the first doll I dressed a few years ago and Sandy Calderon encouraged me to dress her by sending her to me FREE OF CHARGE!  Sandy had seen some of my doll clothes for sale on eBay and told me if I could make a doll dress on a hanger I could dress a doll.  Of course I said I couldn't, but Sandy, a total stranger at the time convinced me that I could dress this doll.  I dressed her and she sold on eBay for $218.00 and I was shocked, hooked and never looked back.  Thank you Sandy!

Purpose?  This contest is used as a method to tap into creativity that you may have never discovered and to share that discovery with the rest of the world.  All you have to do is join my blog as a follower, yes, I am seeking more followers, leave me a comment with a picture of your creation that I can post on my blog.   Make sure the image size of the picture is 1024x768 or smaller. 

How is the winner picked?  I will show the pictures to my 5 and 2 year old grandsons and under my supervision, let them pick the best of the best.  I will put those pictures in a hat and let my 5 year old pull a name out of the hat.  If you are a professional doll maker, while you are making your doll remember who the judges will be, therefore, the more colorful they are the better.  Doll can be male or female.  Only two entries per follower please.  If you are the winner and want to be featured on my blog along with your doll, please be prepared to tell me your life story even if you are only 2 years old.  Winner will be featured the third week of February 2012.  Thank you.

All entries must be submitted no later than 11:00 A.M. Friday February 3, 2012.
