DFH mamas and papas submitted pics of their little ones with their DFH dollies at play. We chose several winners to be used throughout the year on our website, social media pages and in ads. The lucky winners got a DFH Dibs! card to be used to choose a free dolly from one of our Thursday uploads. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, we are heading into a new year so it's time to do it all over again....with a few minor changes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year, we have decided to hold a contest each month and we will choose one (1) lucky winner each time. The pics will be themed for each month. Once again, like the last time, the lucky winner will receive a DFH Dibs! card that will be valid for one particular Thursday RTG upload. This will allow them on that day (before the upload goes public), to pick out their favorite Sprite or Imp completely FREE. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our theme for January 2016 is.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">**</span></b> Pictures MUST be themed as "Winter Wonderland" so take them outside and let them have fun....or perhaps they can snuggle up warm and cozy with winter chilliness outside in the background...have fun with it. Make it feel like winter. We want to see our DFH dollies at play in the loving, messy, sweet, adorable hands of all the sweet children we make our dollies for.</div>

Its been a while since I sat down and gave you all an update of any sort on how things are going here at DFH. Seems like now would be a great time so here goes...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As many of you know, this year has been a big year of changes for me and my family. These changes have been both personal and business related. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a business level, since moving our shop back home its been great...lots of time with family and a much slower pace. I have enjoyed that a lot. It has been a very welcome change to our lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a personal level, things remained pretty much the same once they calmed down. That too was a welcome change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But time keeps moving forward and change is a natural thing so, true to how life is and how things are always changing, we are heading into a period of change once again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago, Robert (Mr DFH) got a phone call from a good friend he worked with several years ago. His friend informed him that the company he was working for was looking for someone to fill a position and that he knew Robert was the man for that job. Now, for privacy reasons, I will not say what that company is, but I will say that Robert is a pretty well known figure among folks who work with a certain technology system. He has been a Director, Sr Director or VP for many years overseeing these systems and managing people all over the world. Its kind of funny thinking that in the DFH world, he was just Mr DFH...that nice guy who kept business details straight and was always pleasant to chat with but in his world, he was the big boss to hundreds of folks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, after much discussion and thought, we decided that he should leave his current position and take this new opportunity. After all, you only live once :) It would be fun for him and, as always, an adventure for the rest of us :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, Robert became the Sr Director overseeing systems and folks all over the US. Luckily he has several really good managers working for him to help him out. His new job will involve lots of traveling. Mostly to the New England area, New York, Arizona and of course back here to Texas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for the rest of us, we too will be doing a lot of traveling...between those very same areas. We like being together :) Which after much discussion, all the kids are happily on board to do. Like I said, it will be an adventure :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...what does this mean for DFH? Well, the first bit is obvious, Robert is no longer really able to help me with the day to day running of things. He will still do things like ordering supplies when I need it and of course helping with the accounting part of things. But the rest of things will all be in my court once again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for the second bit. As I said we will be traveling a lot as a family. This means there will be less time spent making lots of dolls and more time spent making a smaller number of them. It means that I get to slow things down a little more and start doing other things creatively with the dolls. traveling is a great time to get new inspiration and to sit quietly working on one thing adding special details. I am pretty excited about this part.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this week will be the last week we have a whole bunch of dolls available all throughout the week. Starting next week I will be implementing some changes...it will be gradual :) Our RTG numbers will eventually be smaller and the dolls we do make will have more fine details...more fun details. This does mean that some of these dolls will indeed be more expensive than our previous dolls. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have several new designs swirling around in my head and I am dying to get them made...I really think you all are gonna love them. Things are going to become less regimented and much more free flowing. Yes we will still, as always, have our Thursday RTG upload. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will also be bringing back the Mama Mades. Remember those? For those of you who are new, many, many years ago we had a line of blank dollies that allowed mamas to put their own creativity into them. We had full length videos to help along the way. It was fun and I made many sweet friends while we did this. This new Mama Made line will have some big differences from the original one. I am still hammering out the details and schedule but suffice to say, you all will love what I am cooking up for you :) Look for this early next year :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OK so that is it...I hope I did not bore you too much. I am so thankful for all of you who have been along for this crazy ride we are on. Its always been an adventure and its only going to keep on being one. I happily look forward to all the traveling coming up and seeing all the fun new ideas come to life. As a family, we are not yet sure if we are going to stay in Texas or if we will move back home to Mass...or...who knows. We have plenty of time to sort that out...no rush :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have a great and peaceful day, it is time for me to get started on some work :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peace and love all,</div>

Its been a while since I have had time to sit down and do any sort of writing, with our large family, life always seems to get crazy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise to have an update about DFH for you all real soon..there are so many things going on around here with so many changes, I am excited to share it all with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For now though, I want to tell you about a couple things we have done in the past few months that make me happy and I want your help in doing it a little more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago, a sweet mama who has been a part of our online DFH family for several years, came to me and asked if we had any dolls to donate to her special needs classroom. She said they did not have to be perfect dollies, she just wanted something that the kids could love on and play with. I offered her two dollies we had. They were not perfect quality, not our best work so to say, but they are adorable and perfect for a classroom setting with lots of children. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She happily accepted my offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I packaged up the dollies and sent them to her school. Over the following weeks, I received photos of our dollies at play in the hands of adorable little boys and girls. They were making a difference in the lives of kiddos who needed it. Giving comfort on days when their little friends are just not feeling their best about being around other people. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not need to tell you that this made my heart swell. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Knowing that our not so perfect dollies...were out there making children happy. They were doing exactly what they were made to do...bring comfort and happiness to children. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, about two weeks ago I was contacted by another sweet mama up in Canada. She was looking for donations for the Stollery Children's Hospital in Alberta. You all know I have a serious soft spot for sick kiddos. I offered her a small group of donation dollies...she happily accepted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday, this sweet group was packaged up and sent on their way to their new home in the hospital to be played with by kiddos who really need a friend in a time of need.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0h7PENf1hs9O9R_pF3m4mFQCfcJ8fxQcRwrsvxZEHCRBlfdWd-sYJhCJqEMBhBV_7fMH2BZC66LsoS1n4MNypqKFnDJwUBnWf7CDbkD2kQk30N5HVhfVafTyGcuJAYgojt_xZMQByc2Sh/s1600/stollery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0h7PENf1hs9O9R_pF3m4mFQCfcJ8fxQcRwrsvxZEHCRBlfdWd-sYJhCJqEMBhBV_7fMH2BZC66LsoS1n4MNypqKFnDJwUBnWf7CDbkD2kQk30N5HVhfVafTyGcuJAYgojt_xZMQByc2Sh/s320/stollery.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This, is what its all about. This is why we do what we do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So....this is where you all come in...<br />
<br />
I have a few more dollies, not many, but a few, just like these
dollies. They are adorable and ready for homes but they are not
necessarily dollies we can put up for sale. They all have one or two
flaws...these flaws actually make them perfect for this very purpose.
They will make wonderful contributions to a facility where sick children
or children with special needs come and spend their time. They are
perfect for bringing smiles to little faces that might otherwise show
fear.<br />
<br />
What I need from you is a little help.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to find 2-3 more facilities that could benefit from having a group of adorable, less than perfect, dollies around for their kiddos to snuggle and care for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am betting that among our followers, we have at least a couple of folks who are either running or working for an organization or special needs classroom or who knows someone who does. I want to hear from you...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like I said, I have some more less than perfect dollies in need of a good home...it would make my heart sing to know they are out there in the world doing some good for young kiddos in need.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...if you are a non profit organization or work for one please email me with your info asap. If you know of a non profit organization that could benefit from these dollies, then please forward this blog post with my contact info to the folks who run it, and have them contact me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please be aware, time is sensitive on this, I only have a limited number to give, so the sooner folks contact me the better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have had a lot of folks request customs lately. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A custom is a collaboration between you any myself. You come to me with an idea and it is my job to try and bring that idea to life. Sometimes, this is easy and sometimes it is not. Some things just cannot be done by myself while many others can. I will let you know when you send me your completed form whether or not your request is possible as is, or if some changes will need to be made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<h4>
It's been a really long weekend here, I have been offline for most of it. My apologies if I am a bit late on responding to any emails, please bear with me and know that I will get to them first thing Monday. Folks who are waiting for info about the Design your Dream DFH contest, I will have that for you Monday as well.</h4>
<h4>
<br />We have spent this weekend quietly hanging out with our kiddos. We took a much needed break so we can adjust to our new dynamic. For the first time in months, things feel like they are starting to be on track again...where they should be.</h4>
<h4>
<br />So what is going on? I will get to that but first, let me share some of the past few months with you...</h4>
<h4>
<br />This year has been quite a struggle...DFH has been great...same as usual, our home...not so much. My mom started getting sick and not improving sometime after the holidays. Her health had been bad before but this time she was not bouncing back quite like she used to. She spent the earlier part of the year in and out of the hospital.</h4>
<h4>
<br />Meanwhile, those of you who know me personally, already know that sometime back in March, my oldest, Brenna, was in a serious car accident. In the wee hours of the night, she totaled her car on the freeway and ended up in a 5 car pile up. She was injured, but not life threatening, head injury, ribs, neck...the usual for such a crash. Luckily the car did what it was supposed to do...it kept her alive.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZAP47QoRCGgkdTPY7Si89kRJv0KidBZ__YdHjz0rk8Mx9FffdqTdAuttWVf0voM7cR-g-cKhowCS5dS2YVuLbrMu92q-Rn1JxGopvLwmfIa7XMhD2yoZinHCOhyphenhyphenuy6Z7-8StjGIG4EVvU/s1600/11039023_902967579745377_2776157996958932671_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZAP47QoRCGgkdTPY7Si89kRJv0KidBZ__YdHjz0rk8Mx9FffdqTdAuttWVf0voM7cR-g-cKhowCS5dS2YVuLbrMu92q-Rn1JxGopvLwmfIa7XMhD2yoZinHCOhyphenhyphenuy6Z7-8StjGIG4EVvU/s400/11039023_902967579745377_2776157996958932671_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></h4>
<h4>
<br />Needless to say we were all seriously rattled by it all. </h4>
<h4>
<br />The day after the accident, I received word that my mom had, yet again, been rushed to the hospital. That week seemed like it would never end.</h4>
<h4>
<br />We spent the next few weeks recuperating from all the trauma. The family overall was pretty shook up and my littles only wanted to stay home with everyone. They did not want to come into the shop. They did not want us to go in either. As I said, stressful family times.</h4>
<h4>
<br />We spent a lot of time talking about what was important and what changes we should make to bring us back to the path we should be on as a family. We pondered several different scenarios.</h4>
<h4>
<br />Then, what we knew was coming since earlier this year, happened. After several months of suffering from one illness after another, my mom passed away quietly in her sleep earlier this past week. She is at rest now...no more Doctors, no more illness. Friday would have been her 76th birthday. </h4>
<h4>
<br />Yeah, its been a long week.</h4>
<h4>
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiblYtLq9Dz4jteafo0q4hKAoDfgYqHUto8G6jM0tuYxUiMg7YYUbl9JJRfCk39v27Xf98iBHKjK5_GuNt2kH8LYDmxffsbikPrNtb2KjaEeqfEwnOQajNRHWyNBpLX8ELb2skHC-6AxtsV/s1600/11059331_951232411577636_6910915009593321811_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiblYtLq9Dz4jteafo0q4hKAoDfgYqHUto8G6jM0tuYxUiMg7YYUbl9JJRfCk39v27Xf98iBHKjK5_GuNt2kH8LYDmxffsbikPrNtb2KjaEeqfEwnOQajNRHWyNBpLX8ELb2skHC-6AxtsV/s400/11059331_951232411577636_6910915009593321811_n.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />(That baby is me btw)</h4>
<h4>
<br />So, why am I telling you all this now? I promise, I do not want to bum you out.<br />I wanted to share this all with you because these things are what led up to our decision that life is way too short to spend it running around like crazy and not spending as much time as possible with family. </h4>
<h4>
<br />It is time for a change....time to make our family our main priority once again. Time to bring it all back home again.</h4>
<h4>
<br />We have decided that we will be closing the physical shop on Austin St. here in town at the end of the month. Don't worry, DFH will indeed still be around making amazing dolls...I enjoy doll making way too much to give it up. Our team is going to work from the comfort of our homes. <br />My self included.</h4>
<h4>
<br />Yes, the number of dolls we make each week will decrease a bit, as well as the availability of clothing and critters. We apologize, but we need to make this change for us, I am sure you understand.</h4>
<h4>
<br />Weekly uploads will continue as usual....with weeks off from time to time as my family goes out of town on trips. </h4>
<h4>
<br />We are pretty excited about working from home again. I am and have always been in my heart of hearts, first and foremost, a homeschooling mom of six kiddos. I look forward to lots more time spent at the zoo, museums and parks instead of working in a shop all day. The ladies and I will meet up once a week to assemble and visit. It will be a nice calm pace. I have a nice little workspace all set up so I can sit quietly and create in the quiet of my little area...and hear the precious sound of my family all around me while I do so. </h4>
<h4>
<br />The ladies last day working in the shop will be this Friday...Robert and I will spend the next week moving the rest of the furniture out. It will be weird to see it empty again.</h4>
<h4>
<br />I will miss the shop. But I am happily looking forward to this new chapter for us all.<br /><br /><br /><br /></h4>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's that time of year again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A time when spring flowers bloom and rainy mornings give way to sunny afternoons. Some days are warm and others have a small chill. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each day brings what seems to be a new surprise for us to see. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Spring Faeries fit right in with this. A few times a year we are visited by seasonal Faeries. They arrive all shapes and sizes, in vivid color with dramatic clothing and gorgeous wings.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's been a while since I had the time to sit down and write about everything we have been up to. So many exciting things and so much to tell you about. This year is going to be very exciting for us here at Dragonfly's Hollow, we are glad you are along for the ride. I have so much to tell you about...I am afraid it will be overwhelming to put it all out at once, so I am going to let you know one thing at a time as we go...it's easier that way for me :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am super excited to tell you all about this...as you all know, I have always held the belief that our dollies belong in the loving arms of children. They need to be played with, carried around and loved until they are worn and become "real". </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dragonfly's Hollow dolls are not meant to be carefully kept. It has always been my intent that they be played with and loved until they are "real."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now, don't get me wrong, I love that so many of our DFH mamas have mama dolls of their own. I love that we make something that can be admired and loved by all ages. This will be a good thing for you all as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So, back to pricing...let's face it, if an item is very expensive, it will most certainly have to be "kept safe" and clean. I totally understand this...which is why I have always worked so hard to keep prices at a reasonable level for you all...as our costs have gone down, we have always passed this on to you all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">You may have noticed that our prices for our larger dolls were brought down late last year. This was a direct result of some changes we made to our production at the end of the year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We wanted to streamline the making of our dolls and Critters so that we could maintain our quality while also lowering costs for making them. We knew we were not going to change our materials and that we would continue to use our high quality interlock knit from the Netherlands and pure clean wool as well as natural hand dyed yarns and mohair wefts for hair. So what we did was look at our process...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We spent a lot of time during December and January retraining our team. Now, trust me when I say, this was not an easy task. We had to retrain everyone on a new way of doing things. These are things they had come to do almost instinctively. It was slow going at first, but in time, the team took to the new processes and have not only been able to meet all of our goals but they have surpassed every one of them. Our team is pretty awesome. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Let me say here, our dolls and Critters are still entirely hand made from top quality, all natural materials. They still take many hours of highly skilled hand sewing and crocheting to make each one. We just refined the process as a team. They have all said at one time or another that they prefer the new process to the old way. It makes it a lot easier on them. So basically, its a win/win/win. We love our team of highly gifted gals and guys. They are all part of our DFH family...including the littlest members.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Going back to the topic at hand, we worked thru our largest dolls first and got that process down to perfection first, (as you all know, they have a lot more details than the smaller ones do) and then we took what we learned and carried it thru to everything we make. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So what does this mean? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Basically, it comes down to one simple fact...if our production costs are lower then your purchase price is as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So, starting this week, our RTG (Ready To Go now) prices are as follows...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Pixies (10") - $105</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Wild Things (12") - $95</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sprites (12") - $125</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Imps (14") - $165</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Babies (15") - $175</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Amberwings (16") - $185</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Faes (18") - $210</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am pretty excited about being able to do this for you all. We have worked so hard to get to this point. It has always been my belief that every child should have a Dragonfly's Hollow dolly to love. Hopefully this change will help many to find their way into the loving arms of their intended mamas and papas. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We will give away one Dibs! card to each family whose photos are chosen. Our way of saying "Thank You". The Dibs! cards will be good for one Thursday RTG day upload. With your card, you will get to choose your favorite dolly free of charge, from from that upload. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We will stagger the cards so that each Dibs holder has a specific week...that way we can avoid double Dibs! Oh and don't worry, we will get your card to you in plenty of time for you to use it on your day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">How many we give out will be determined by how many photos we choose. We must choose your photo to use on our website, FB or Twitter in order to get a Dibs! card. Simply submitting a photo does not automatically qualify for a Dibs! card.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Deep in the heart of winter, when mother nature is in frosty full swing, when the lakes and ponds have frozen over and the air is frosty cool, our world is visited by a very rare group of mythical creatures....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Winter Faeries</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Under cover of night, during a heavy snowfall, they sneak into our world relatively unnoticed. The sound of their arrival is silenced by the heavy snowflakes falling to the ground.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sneaking about in the moonlight they play in the snow making snow angels, castles, sculptures and forts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ever wake up on a winter morning to find someone had built a snowman in your yard during the night? Odds are, it was one of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They come in all sizes. </div>

Their home is far away in a white forest high atop snow covered mountains. To say these faeries have travelled far would be an understatement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They love adventure and of course playing in the snow. They also love to snuggle up at night under cozy blankets beside a warm winter fire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They only come around once a year so keep your eyes open, and see if you can spy one of them. Keep alert and don't let them pass you by.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are only here for a short time and once they are gone, well....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
.....they will be gone of course.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Wild Things</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
These guys are so much fun to play with, we are pretty sure you will agree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like all Wild Things, you must keep an eye on them as we all know, they love making "mischief of one kind ....and another".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They come in all shapes and colors...you will never know what form they will take each week or how many will wish to come along. I suppose you can say that will always be a surprise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I believe I have said all that can be said about them...it's time to introduce you to our first group.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

You all might be familiar with our Lost Kids...our adorable gang of rogues who love to play all day, getting into all sorts of mischief</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who are new, have a seat, I will explain it all for you...</div>

They climb the highest trees, and swim in the bluest water. To say they are adventurous would be an understatement. However, they are fiercely loyal and kind to others...after all, when you are truly happy inside, there is no need to be mean to others and make them feel bad.</div>

Lost kids come in many sizes with many different ways of thinking. Some love to climb, some love to run...while others love to sit on top of a hill and imagine the clouds rolling by are shapes of animals and things.</div>

Can you believe it has been over 1.5 years since we last made an Amberwing? </div>

I can hardly believe it has been that long.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Their bodies are like our Fae 18" bodies in design.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

They are roughly 16" tall, slender and long limbed. (being hand made sizing will tend to vary a wee bit)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
They are super floppy with our distinctive elbow and knee joints to allow for free movement.</div>

<br />
A rich man's wife became sick, and when she felt that her end was drawing near, she called her only daughter to her bedside and said, "Dear child, remain pious and good, and then our dear God will always protect you, and I will look down on you from heaven and be near you." With this she closed her eyes and died.<br />
<br />
The girl went out to her mother's grave every day and wept, and she remained pious and good. When winter came the snow spread a white cloth over the grave, and when the spring sun had removed it again, the man took himself another wife.<br />
<br />
This wife brought two daughters into the house with her. They were beautiful, with fair faces, but evil and dark hearts. Times soon grew very bad for the poor stepchild.<br />
<br />
"Why should that stupid goose sit in the parlor with us?" they said. "If she wants to eat bread, then she will have to earn it. Out with this kitchen maid!"<br />
<br />
They took her beautiful clothes away from her, dressed her in an old gray smock, and gave her wooden shoes. "Just look at the proud princess! How decked out she is!" they shouted and laughed as they led her into the kitchen.<br />
<br />

There she had to do hard work from morning until evening, get up before daybreak, carry water, make the fires, cook, and wash. Besides this, the sisters did everything imaginable to hurt her. They made fun of her, scattered peas and lentils into the ashes for her, so that she had to sit and pick them out again. In the evening when she had worked herself weary, there was no bed for her. Instead she had to sleep by the hearth in the ashes. And because she always looked dusty and dirty, they called her Cinderella.<br />
<br />

<br />
One day it happened that the father was going to the fair, and he asked his two stepdaughters what he should bring back for them.<br />
<br />
"Beautiful dresses," said the one.<br />
<br />
"Pearls and jewels," said the other.<br />
<br />
"And you, Cinderella," he said, "what do you want?"<br />
<br />
"Father, break off for me the first twig that brushes against your hat on your way home."<br />
<br />
So he bought beautiful dresses, pearls, and jewels for his two stepdaughters. On his way home, as he was riding through a green thicket, a hazel twig brushed against him and knocked off his hat. Then he broke off the twig and took it with him. Arriving home, he gave his stepdaughters the things that they had asked for, and he gave Cinderella the twig from the hazel bush.<br />
<br />
Cinderella thanked him, went to her mother's grave, and planted the branch on it, and she wept so much that her tears fell upon it and watered it. It grew and became a beautiful tree.<br />
<br />
Cinderella went to this tree three times every day, and beneath it she wept and prayed. A white bird came to the tree every time, and whenever she expressed a wish, the bird would throw down to her what she had wished for.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Now it happened that the king proclaimed a festival that was to last three days. All the beautiful young girls in the land were invited, so that his son could select a bride for himself. When the two stepsisters heard that they too had been invited, they were in high spirits.<br />
<br />
They called Cinderella, saying, "Comb our hair for us. Brush our shoes and fasten our buckles. We are going to the festival at the king's castle."<br />
<br />
Cinderella obeyed, but wept, because she too would have liked to go to the dance with them. She begged her stepmother to allow her to go.<br />
<br />
"You, Cinderella?" she said. "You, all covered with dust and dirt, and you want to go to the festival?. You have neither clothes nor shoes, and yet you want to dance!"<br />
<br />
However, because Cinderella kept asking, the stepmother finally said, "I have scattered a bowl of lentils into the ashes for you. If you can pick them out again in two hours, then you may go with us."<br />
The girl went through the back door into the garden, and called out, "You tame pigeons, you turtledoves, and all you birds beneath the sky, come and help me to gather:<br />
<blockquote>
The good ones go into the pot,<br />
The bad ones go into your crop."</blockquote>
Two white pigeons came in through the kitchen window, and then the turtledoves, and finally all the birds beneath the sky came whirring and swarming in, and lit around the ashes. The pigeons nodded their heads and began to pick, pick, pick, pick. And the others also began to pick, pick, pick, pick. They gathered all the good grains into the bowl. Hardly one hour had passed before they were finished, and they all flew out again.<br />
<br />
<br />
The girl took the bowl to her stepmother, and was happy, thinking that now she would be allowed to go to the festival with them.<br />
<br />
But the stepmother said, "No, Cinderella, you have no clothes, and you don't know how to dance. Everyone would only laugh at you."<br />
<br />
Cinderella began to cry, and then the stepmother said, "You may go if you are able to pick two bowls of lentils out of the ashes for me in one hour," thinking to herself, "She will never be able to do that."<br />
The girl went through the back door into the garden, and called out, "You tame pigeons, you turtledoves, and all you birds beneath the sky, come and help me to gather:<br />
<blockquote>
The good ones go into the pot,<br />
The bad ones go into your crop."</blockquote>
Two white pigeons came in through the kitchen window, and then the turtledoves, and finally all the birds beneath the sky came whirring and swarming in, and lit around the ashes. The pigeons nodded their heads and began to pick, pick, pick, pick. And the others also began to pick, pick, pick, pick. They gathered all the good grains into the bowls. Before a half hour had passed they were finished, and they all flew out again.<br />
<br />
<br />
The girl took the bowls to her stepmother, and was happy, thinking that now she would be allowed to go to the festival with them.<br />
<br />
But the stepmother said, "It's no use. You are not coming with us, for you have no clothes, and you don't know how to dance. We would be ashamed of you." With this she turned her back on Cinderella, and hurried away with her two proud daughters.<br />
<br />
Now that no one else was at home, Cinderella went to her mother's grave beneath the hazel tree, and cried out:<br />
<blockquote>
Shake and quiver, little tree,<br />
Throw gold and silver down to me.</blockquote>
Then the bird threw a gold and silver dress down to her, and slippers embroidered with silk and silver. She quickly put on the dress and went to the festival.<br />
<br />
<br />
Her stepsisters and her stepmother did not recognize her. They thought she must be a foreign princess, for she looked so beautiful in the golden dress. They never once thought it was Cinderella, for they thought that she was sitting at home in the dirt, looking for lentils in the ashes.<br />
<br />
The prince approached her, took her by the hand, and danced with her. Furthermore, he would dance with no one else. He never let go of her hand, and whenever anyone else came and asked her to dance, he would say, "She is my dance partner."<br />
<br />
She danced until evening, and then she wanted to go home. But the prince said, "I will go along and escort you," for he wanted to see to whom the beautiful girl belonged. However, she eluded him and jumped into the pigeon coop. The prince waited until her father came, and then he told him that the unknown girl had jumped into the pigeon coop.<br />
<br />
The old man thought, "Could it be Cinderella?"<br />
<br />
He had them bring him an ax and a pick so that he could break the pigeon coop apart, but no one was inside. When they got home Cinderella was lying in the ashes, dressed in her dirty clothes. A dim little oil-lamp was burning in the fireplace. Cinderella had quickly jumped down from the back of the pigeon coop and had run to the hazel tree. There she had taken off her beautiful clothes and laid them on the grave, and the bird had taken them away again. Then, dressed in her gray smock, she had returned to the ashes in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
The next day when the festival began anew, and her parents and her stepsisters had gone again, Cinderella went to the hazel tree and said:<br />
<blockquote>
Shake and quiver, little tree,<br />
Throw gold and silver down to me.</blockquote>
Then the bird threw down an even more magnificent dress than on the preceding day. When Cinderella appeared at the festival in this dress, everyone was astonished at her beauty. The prince had waited until she came, then immediately took her by the hand, and danced only with her. When others came and asked her to dance with them, he said, "She is my dance partner."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
When evening came she wanted to leave, and the prince followed her, wanting to see into which house she went. But she ran away from him and into the garden behind the house. A beautiful tall tree stood there, on which hung the most magnificent pears. She climbed as nimbly as a squirrel into the branches, and the prince did not know where she had gone. He waited until her father came, then said to him, "The unknown girl has eluded me, and I believe she has climbed up the pear tree.<br />
<br />
The father thought, "Could it be Cinderella?" He had an ax brought to him and cut down the tree, but no one was in it. When they came to the kitchen, Cinderella was lying there in the ashes as usual, for she had jumped down from the other side of the tree, had taken the beautiful dress back to the bird in the hazel tree, and had put on her gray smock.<br />
<br />
On the third day, when her parents and sisters had gone away, Cinderella went again to her mother's grave and said to the tree:<br />
<blockquote>
Shake and quiver, little tree,<br />
Throw gold and silver down to me.</blockquote>
This time the bird threw down to her a dress that was more splendid and magnificent than any she had yet had, and the slippers were of pure gold. When she arrived at the festival in this dress, everyone was so astonished that they did not know what to say. The prince danced only with her, and whenever anyone else asked her to dance, he would say, "She is my dance partner."<br />

<br />
<br />
When evening came Cinderella wanted to leave, and the prince tried to escort her, but she ran away from him so quickly that he could not follow her. The prince, however, had set a trap. He had had the entire stairway smeared with pitch. When she ran down the stairs, her left slipper stuck in the pitch. The prince picked it up. It was small and dainty, and of pure gold.<br />
<br />
The next morning, he went with it to the man, and said to him, "No one shall be my wife except for the one whose foot fits this shoe."<br />

<br />
It's been six months since we launched our MTO program. I figured a little update would be good for you all to let you know how its going so far.<br />
<br />
When we started out, our goal was simple, bring the DFH in shop experience to areas all over the US so people can order their special hand made OOAK doll or critter and help these sweet mamas to earn an income doing something they love and believe in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been a LOT of hard work on our part as well as our mamas. Yes, there have indeed been a few glitches but we worked together and overcame them. After all, its not easy being trail blazers :) <br />
<br />
We were told we were crazy and that it would never work. We are proving those folks wrong every day....and that makes me so proud. After all, here we are at the six month mark and I am so excited to say that things are going amazingly well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Mamas are rocking' and rollin'! <br />
<br />
I am so proud of them...they grabbed this opportunity and are running with it. They are growing their own contacts, reaching out in their areas, educating folks about DFH. They are earning an income while being at home with their babies. It seriously does not get better than that. I am so proud of the progress we have made and the direction DFH is heading in.<br />
<br />
It's an exciting time for us. There is no clear road for traveling, but we have a vision of where we will be one day. We are just making our own trail as we go along.<br />
<br />
It reminds me of my favorite quote of all time....<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">- Ralph Waldo Emerson</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span> I honestly would not have it any other way.<br />
<br />
Our mamas are amazing ladies, each with her own unique way of doing things....I love that about them all. They are all super mamas :) <br />
<br />
We recently had a meeting and one of the subjects was regarding their title. I mean what do you call a super woman who helps folks who are new to DFH, design their dream doll or critter? These ladies are not merely taking orders, they are building relationships, sharing their expertise and knowledge to help folks make choices that will best work for their needs. With all this in mind, we all agreed that Consultant or Representative just did not seem to fit. They deserved a more accurate title for what it is they do. So, after a small discussion and a vote by the ladies, we have decided to go with the title...<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Design Specialist</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
You will see that title used to describe them going forward...I like it. Its rather fitting for what they do...wouldn't you agree?<br />
<br />
So...what does the future hold for us? Well, our ladies will continue to grow. We here at DFH headquarters in Denton will continue to support them and help them achieve their goals. In short, we will keep on moving forward. Is it going to be easy? I can say it is going to be easier than it was at first...but it still will be work for us all. That's OK...I think we can handle it all :) After all, nothing worthwhile has ever been easy.<br />
<br />
I am so proud of how far we have come in such a short span of time. I am proud of all our mamas who saw the opportunity we were offering and took the chance that it would be something wonderful for them and their families. I am excited to see where we will be in 12 months. <br />
<br />
If you haven't had a chance to get to know one of our amazing ladies, please take the time to do that. You will be happy you did....seriously....our ladies rock :)<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Long ago there was a wild haired boy with bright blue eyes, named Declan who lived alone with his mother. He was a very bright boy with an amazing imagination. Unfortunately, he did not have many friends his own age, but that did not bother him too much, he loved to spend time alone reading or just chatting with the older folks he knew so well. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Of course, Declan still dreamt of the day when he would find a friend with whom to share adventures.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">One day, Declan was sitting by the seaside, drawing in his sketchbook. The wind began to blow and the waves of the water began to churn. As he looked on, something under the water seemed to be heading to the shore...right towards him!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As the waves were crashing on the shore, he thought he saw what appeared to be a hoof and a mane. He strained his eyes to see if he could make out more details.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He stood up and stared in awe as he watched a creature come crashing thru the waves, landing on the beach. This creature had a grey, green body, what seemed to be purple hued hooves and hair that looked just like seaweed in green, gold and purple.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The strange creature worked its way directly to him. Now of course he was terrified, but his legs would not move. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The creature came so close he could feel it's breath on his face. Declan had a strange sensation that he was not in danger so he reached out and gently touched the snout of the strange animal. It felt damp but fur like. The creature leaned into his hand. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Declan reached up and touched the mane. It felt wet like the body but also kind of slick, like seaweed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">All of a sudden, the creature spoke. "My name is Poe" he said. "I, I am Declan" he responded in a semi state of shock. Who would have ever thought such a creature existed let alone be able to speak.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">After that, it was as though the flood gates had been open. The two began to chat with one another. They talked for hours and hours. Declan told Poe all about his life and his dreams of adventure and Poe shared details about his life under the water and all the amazing things he had seen. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">They made a date to meet up the following day at the same time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Once again, as the day before, the two spent hours talking and playing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This went on for day and weeks. The two became the best of friends. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">They spent many years by the lakeside talking and sharing. They were inseparable. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Many years had passed, and Declan had grown into a strong young man. Gone was the little boy, he longed to venture out into the world and find his adventures. He and Poe planned out that they would leave together and explore the world. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">On a bright autumn morning, Declan hugged his mom goodbye and carrying his backpack, he walked to seaside to meet Poe. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The water churned and up from the waves rose Poe. He waded up to the edge of the beach. Declan reached into Poe's mane and held on tight. Poe turned rapidly about and dove into the waves bringing Declan with him. The two rode the waves together wind blowing their hair. They headed off to points unknown off to whatever adventures the world had in store for them. You could hear their shouts of joy as they swam away.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now, of course this is not the end. The two spent me nay years traveling the world, visiting many places. They would return every few months or so with trinkets and stories to share with Declan's mom. They would spend a few days at a time visiting and then they would head out again.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Always off on a new adventure, always off to see new things, always together.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It is said to this day that if you sit quietly by the seaside, when the wind begins to blow, if you look closely in the choppy waves, you just might see them riding together heading for another adventure.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Declan and Poe, best friends forever.</span></div>
