Well I am very disappointed. ONE entry to win the Snapstar doll? Really? Did nobody like the prize,or was there just no one besides Dorothy who wanted to do the research to answer the questions? Dorothy was our ONLY entrant, so Dorothy,as I have informed you by email,you won! Why can't I find a contest where I'm the only entrant? Then maybe I could win something!
I was considering another competition for May, when I have my blogaversary. Now I figure there's not much point. Sorry Ken, for buying that prize I'm not going to use.

Win a Doll!
Today's the day! The competition starts today for the latest give away! Here's the prize:
It's a Snapstar doll.
Her name is Aspen.
Snapstar dolls have 15 point of articulation,inset eyes,and a changeable wig.
They come with a stand for posing the doll in all sorts of realistic poses,and a ;green screen' and downloadable app so you can do cool photos.
Extra wigs and fashions are available (not from me though!) for these dolls.
The contest is open to entrants in the continental United States only,due to postal costs. (Don't worry. There will be a competition open to everyone later this year.) Now the question becomes,"How do I win this doll?" Well there's a quiz! Dorothy, here's where your studying comes in! There are five questions,and all the answers can be found somewhere over the almost 7 years of this blog. You're going to have to do some reading. You can use the headings in the side bar to help you search for the answers. Here are the questions:
1. Name the post which shows the Barbie's New Dreamhouse I kept for myself,and tell me, how did I manage to afford it?
2. I've mentioned my top three most longed for dolls as a kid. One was Drowsy. What were the other two?
3. Name at least one thing,(besides dolls) that I have mentioned as one of my obsessions.
4. What did Barbie expert Joe Blitman say is 'very likely the rarest vintage Barbie item period".
5. What is the name of Tammy World's youngest brother, and who is he named after?
The competition will run for about two weeks, so you have plenty of time to read up on back posts and figure these out. The final day for entering is February 15th. (I'm giving you an extra day because I'll be busy on Valentine's Day.) The winner will be announced on February 16th. Let's see a good turn out this time! Good luck!

Free Doll! Giveaway at A Girl For All Time

Prize Shipped, World Doll Day, and a Lottie Doll Giveaway
After fighting with the U.S. Post Office site for a couple of days and not being able to get a label printed for our Blogaversary prize winner's package I gave up and went to the post office today. So Miss L Spooky, your package has been shipped. The reason the Post Office site wouldn't let us print the label online was the address, but we couldn't figure out what was supposed to be wrong with it. The lady at the post office said there was supposed to be an 'Avenue' after the street address. ??? Anyway, I have a tracking number for it, so if you don't get it we'll get to the bottom of it!
I just found out last night that this Saturday is World Doll Day. This year is the 28th year for World Doll Day, which was the idea of Midred Seeley. Here's the original letter, from the WorldDollDay.com website:
To make it happen I need cooperation of every doll collector, every magazine editor, doll newsletter, doll shop, library, doll maker, mother, grandmother, father, grandfather, and all the stray aunts and uncles. The first World Doll Day is the Second Saturday of June 1986. Give a doll to a grownup, child in the family or just a friend. If you don't have a child to give a doll to - find one. There are many children with no dolls.

There are many children with no dolls.
Think of it this
way and ship a doll to another country. I
have always felt that the common doll could
be an instrument of world understanding.
From the first time I started writing books
on doll making, I had the hope that dolls
would help make friends all over the world
and develop a little love among all.
World Doll Day
will also be a day for doll exhibits. It is
my hope that all libraries will have a
special doll exhibit. Museums will
publicize their doll exhibits and have
special doll exhibits at this time.
Magazines will put out special editions.
Doll stores will put on campaigns weeks
ahead. Doll Makers will make special dolls
for World Doll Day. There will be doll
competitions with World Doll Day awards,
plaques and trophies.
The logo is made
from artist Boots Tyner's doll representing
a child. The child carries a German bisque
doll to represent this doll collectors gift.
Feel free to copy the logo or have one
made.
Everyone can enjoy
the fun as there are no fees, no permission
needed, no obligations, nobody owns the day,
no club, no company. It's a free- for- all,
take up the day, its ideas and fly with it.
Lets do it now. World Doll Day.
If you think World Doll Day is a good idea, then appoint yourself a committee of one to do something about it--only then can it become a reality. Would you tell five people, ask them to tell five people, and each of them tell five people and so on. World Doll Day's birthday is June 14, 1986.

may be copied and copied again and again
until the world knows about World Doll Day.

If you know someone who wants a doll and can't afford one or doesn't have access, it's a great time to get around to donating one. Also,it's a great excuse to suggest to someone who loves you that there's a certain doll you've had your eye on...
I found out about World Doll Day when I happened across a post on the blog Confessions of a Doll Collector's Daughter. At the risk of creating more competition I also wanted to tell you that Ashley, at that site, is having a Doll Giveaway to celebrate World Doll Day. The prize is your choice of a currant Lottie doll or Lottie's friend Finn.

Blogaversary Giveaway! Something for Everyone! (In scale that is. You don't all get a prize. Sorry...)
UPDATE: I forgot to mention when the giveaway ends! All the build up, trying to decide what to give away, and I was so caught up in that I forgot to say that entries will be accepted until midnight Eastern Standard (United States) time on 2 June, 2015. That's 10 days. The winner will be announced on Thursday, 4 June, since we will be away an the 3rd, celebrating Emma's birthday with her. Don't forget, to enter you have to be a follower that shows up in the side bar. Good luck everybody!
AND ANOTHER UPDATE! It occurred to me that I also forgot to let you know how the winner would be chosen! (I blame all this distraction on the merciless headaches I've had for a week now---I think I have a bad tooth---and the fact that the one year anniversary of my Dad's death was yesterday.) All entrants names will be printed on pieces of paper and placed in a box. The winner will be drawn from the box and will be announced June 4th, as stated above. There. That should be everything now!
So, here we are. It's Saturday, and that means it's the start of the Planet of the Dolls Second Blogaversary Give Away! Last year there wasn't much of a showing from you people. We only had one entry. But this year I have faith that you are ALL going to enter! I am doing the same thing I did last year: offering you your choice of prizes in three different scales. The winner will choose the prize from the scale of their choice. I figured this was the best way to go, since you readers, like me, have dolls of various scales. Winner may choose only one scale.
So! Here are the choices for this year's prize. For 1/12, and possibly 1/6 scale, are these room decorating items. Included is this wall paper...
...and this rug.
You get three 12" by 10" sheets of the paper, and the rug. (And be kind about the rug: I made it.) That should be enough paper for a 1/6 scale room, should you choose to use it for that,or more than enough for a 1/12 scale dollhouse room. The design on this paper is small enough that you might even use it for a smaller scale.
For 1/6 scale, these goodies:
One outdoor style trash can,with opening lid and rolling wheels, and one desk lamp that really lights.
You might have seen both of these on the blog when I came across them.
For use with 14" to 18" dolls, like Hearts for Hearts, American Girl, and other larger size dolls there is this laundry basket, and, for when your doll works up an appetite doing the laundry, these two sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
The sandwiches are made of felt, with painted and stitched details.
Both sandwiches have a removeable slice of cheese, slice of tomato, and piece of lettuce. And as with the rug, be nice: I made them.
All items are brand new. I would not suggest them for children who are young enough that they still put things in their mouths.
Now, how do you enter the contest? The contest is open to anyone, anywhere. The only stipulation is that you are a follower who shows up in the side bar. So if you're already there, great! Feel free to enter, stating your prize choice, by leaving a comment on this post. If you aren't a follower yet, or of you're following in such a way that you don't show up in the side bar,just remedy that situation and then enter and leave your prize choice in the comment section on this post.
If we get more entrants this year, next year the prizes will be bigger. I may even do a Christmas giveaway if this one does well! Good luck everybody! Let's hope lots of you enter this time!

| These are the actual prizes you will be sent. The trash can is a burnt orange colour, and the lamp is black. |
 |
| 8" Tammy World and J Doll La Marche show you the scale. The prize is one lamp and the one orange trash can in the first picture. |
 |
| The arm of the lamp is really adjustable. |
 |
| And Tammy and her dad Wally, a 12" Prince Charming, show you the size of the trash cans. |
For use with 14" to 18" dolls, like Hearts for Hearts, American Girl, and other larger size dolls there is this laundry basket, and, for when your doll works up an appetite doing the laundry, these two sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
