DRAGONFLY'S HOLLOW GIVEAWAY!

This giveaway will start today Saturday Oct 9 and end Monday Oct 11 at 9:00 am central US time.

Alrighty let's get this started :o)

Here is our girl all ready to go to her new home. She is 12 inches tall with light tan skin and very long dark brown hair that is a mix of bulky weight and boucle yarn. She also has some funky bits of purple and turquoise mixed in for color.

So how do you go about winning this girl? Well...

1) Post a comment on this post on this blog. If you have a name for her in your mind that would be good to post as she has no name yet.

****only one post per day****

2) Post on the FB page under any one of the posts about her. There are several as we worked thru her details on the FB page. There is also a new posting of her on the page to make it easy for you. I will make sure that she remains visible on the front of the FB page throughout the giveaway weekend.

IMPORTANT...When you post, please be sure I can link your blog ID with your FB name...case in point, if you post here under pixietoes and post on FB as Karen Smith, I have no way of knowing the two are related...and since posting in both places is necessary, this could disqualify you. So please in one of your posts either this one or the one on FB, please let me know that the two names are yours :o) Also make sure we have a way to contact you. You can turn on the ability to accept messages thru either your blogger account or your FB account...or just post email if that is ok with you.

Good luck everyone....

Its been quiet around here lately...I know. I have some plans to fix that :o) The giveaway for the month of April will begin on Monday April 5...right here. So drop by then to check it out.

See ya all then...

I have Internet!

Good morning all, the move went well and smoothly...as smoothly as it can :o) We still have all the unpacking to do but at least its all where it needs to be. It'll still be at least a week before I am totally back to normal I am sure of it.

Well, off for coffee then unpacking....yay :o)

Oh and before I forget...

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!

A couple of pictures

As we are packing up I keep finding things that remind me how much has changed in the 4 years we lived here. I thought I would share a few pictures...

This first one was taken the first summer here. The kids are all so young....still goofy but gosh! Rory was still a baby :o)

One of the things we will remember about our time here is the tile wall at the Cancer Survivor's Park here in Memphis. We helped an artist friend make many tiles for this amazing work...It was an awesome experience...especially seeing it all in place like it is now.


If you are ever in Memphis you have to stop by :o)

OK....that's it for playing around today...more packing stuff to do...

Saturday March 6

Well the first ever "First Friday" went well in that even though we didn't have enough to fill the need, the dolls went to new mamas. For those who didn't get a chance this time, take heart, the mamas who were able to snag one this time will not be participating in the next one, so indeed, your turn will come. Also, we are seriously working on being able to make more dolls to at least come closer to the amount we need...we'll get there so hang in there :o)

We are packing and prepping more for out move. I am wrapping up work on 6 customs that will be completed by Tuesday. I will be listing those as they are finished rather than wait for Wednesday to upload all of them. So those of you who I am working on this week, I will email when your cutie is ready to go home.

I think that is about it. I have a couple of custom cuties to upload right now. I will put some pics of them up on FB.

Have a great day

First Friday...March 5

Good morning all. Today is our first "First Friday" :o) I am pretty excited about it as I hope this will help out a bit for the new comers.

The preview will be at noon on the FB page... http://www.facebook.com/DFHDolls

We are packing up the house bit by bit lately...the move is coming down to the wire...yay! We are all soooo ready to get going :o)

After tonight's upload, I will wrap up work on the customs to be finished before we move. As those are complete I will upload them and ship so there will be some uploaded tomorrow and pretty much every day until Tuesday :o)

I am off to get some coffee...I will see you all again around 12

CONGRATULATIONS IZZY'S MOM!

CONGRATULATIONS to IZZY's MOM!

Your "Starburst" will be heading your way as soon as you contact me and let me know where to send her :o)

CONGRATULATIONS! and Thank you to everyone who participated...this was the best giveaway ever...

Thank you!

Friday Uploads

Afternoon folks. You all have been quite busy posting for the Rainbow gal. Very cool.

I just uploaded the pics of the gang for tonight. Drop by the FB page to take a peek.

Timeline for March...

OK...my custom folks for March...I spent the week contacting and convoing with you and I will be sending a timeline to you today.

The biggest news for March is that We are moving between 3/11 thru 3/19...During this time I will be working on my hand sewing (hair, faces, assembly, etc) so work will keep going, I just will not be online to upload again until our internet is connected. So, there will be no upload during the weeks of 3/12 and 3/19 but we will be back to normal again the following week :o)...more than likely sooner, just leaving wiggle room.

RTG Shop dolls will be listed on these dates

Friday 3/5

Friday 3/26

and every Friday from there :o)

Yes, it is a 2 week break...sort of :o)

I will update on my FB page and shop as well as here when I am back online...so if you have any questions be sure to get them to me by 3/11 :o)

This is not very stressful for us. We have moved a lot (one of the upsides and downsides of having a hubby who is a well known and gifted technology geek) so we have this all down to a science...plus we are returning to the DFW area and since we used to live there, we know how that all works out...we also have some cool friends to look forward to hanging with again...YAY!

That's it for now...

Friday Upload Day...

Images are uploaded on the FB page...Use the button to the left to go peek. See you all later at 8:00 PM cst for the shop upload

Thursday Feb 18

Good morning everyone. I hope you all are staying warm.

Today is supposed to be preview day but I have decided to do that on Friday instead. In the past, I have uploaded images on Thursday evening only to upload more images on Friday...I think changing the upload day to Friday, will save me the time of doing it twice.

So, the preview will be uploaded on my FB page tomorrow (Friday) before 12:00 noon CST. Plenty of time before the actual evening upload yet late enough to make sure everything is complete on them.

See you all then...

Monday FEB 15th

Hey Guys, I put images up on the FB page of the clothes to be uploaded tonight :o)

We now have 757 comments or entries for our Rainbow gal as of today...yay!

Nancy

Saturday Feb 13th

Hope you all are having a good day. We finally have some sun...yay!

Well, the FB page is launched and I am gaining folks as friends so it looks like that is off to a good start. I discovered the picture uploads yesterday...very easy and faster than Flickr. I like it better. I think that this week I will do the preview upload onto the FB page and we can see how that goes. If it works out well, then I will continue to post them there instead of Flickr....I am trying to make it so that you all are not hopping all over the web for me :o)

I put a FB link on the left hand side. I am rearranging a bit so things might look a bit different for a while.

I think that is it...I am gonna go and have some fun while the weather is nice...have a great day everyone!

Nancy

Friday Upload Day...

OK, so I finally got to get the full images onto Flickr of the crew to be uploaded tonight in the shop. I think they all turned out wonderful :o)

You will notice that there is a new guys...his name is Cody. I wasn't sure if I would have his clothes done in time for today but I was able to do it so he will be listed tonight with the girls.

My FB page is started...not much to see yet :o) I look at it, get lost then find something else to do :o) I promise to get it more set up but for now, here is the link to the Dragonfly's Hollow Page...

Facebook - Dragonfly's Hollow

Don't laugh too hard...I know there is nothing there yet...consider it like an empty apartment :o) I am still moving in :o) Any...and I mean ANY input would seriously be appreciated.

OK...that is it, I feel like I have been online all day long :o) I am going to go and try to get some other things done before the big uplaod tonight.

See you all at 8:00 CST

Nancy

Thursday Preview

OK. I finally got thru my convo's and uploaded the preview...scrolling to the right :o) I even finished up my custom uploads for this week...

Yay me!

:o)

Wednesday... Feb 10th

Hope those of you who are struggling with this whacky winter weather are staying warm and cozy...those of you who are enjoying warmer, snow free climates... :oP~~~~~~~

:o)

This weather has thrown me off a bit so my customs for this week will be listed on Thursday evening instead of tonight. This is only gonna be for this week...it'll be back to normal next week.

******************************************

Uploads...

I have received numerous requests to change my upload time... 5 pm my time is the middle of the day for some of you...oops.

Anyway, after hearing some requests I have decided to change the upload time to 8 pm my time...so that means that for you guys on the east coast it'll be at 9:00 pm, Mountain Time zone... 7:00 pm and Pacific Time Zone... 6:00 pm

Hopefully that will take some of the stress out of it all and allow other folks to have a chance.

This will start this Friday.

I think that is it...I am off to do some sewing. Have a great day.

Nancy

We got SNOW!!!

We woke up today to this....

I know for lots of you, this is nothing but for us, its a LOT of snow. Seriously. Yesterday it felt like it was about 60 degrees outside. Overnight this all fell :o) It's funny, the kids and I were stunned this morning when we saw it...they are all out there in it right now having a blast.

How cool!

Sunday Feb 7... :oD

Good morning guys,

Yesterday was sort of a day off for me...It felt good to just hang out and rest. Whew! Friday was mad. You all emptied the shop in about 2 minutes...wow! Thank you everyone...seriously. I am amazed and humbled by your enthusiasm for my work...thank you.

This week is another busy and full week. I will have another 4 or 5 really cool dolls on Friday as well as the customs that will be listed Wednesday. I am not going to have a clothing upload this week on Monday. I have to get caught up on some other things first but next week will be back to normal :o)

I am working on a Facebook page this week...my DD is helping me out on that one :o) I'll let you all know when its up.

I guess that is it for today...have a great day

Nancy

Friday...Upload Day!

Afternoon Guys,

I just uploaded final images of the gang onto Flickr. They should be passing thru the scrolly thingy now :o) I was hoping for some sun to help take some awesome pics but alas the sun is not out today :o) I think I was able to compensate though and I got some good images for you all to see how awesome they all are.

Anyway, check them out...at least now you can really look at them before the upload later.

Don't forget...upload begins at 5:00 pm CST

See you all later...

Nancy

Thursday...Sneak Peek

OK, the girls are up...I think some of you already know that :o)

I love the colors this week...very deep and rich indeed :o) The four bigger girls are fairies with adorable outfits of course and Nixie is a mermaid. I am wrapping up their clothes tonight and tomorrow there will be way better pics...promise. Hopefully we'll have some sunlight.

Anyway, take a peek. Listing on the shop is tomorrow at 5:00 pm CST. I think I might have figured out a way to get the uploading done faster this time so tomorrow it shouldnot be so long between uploads :o)

See you all tomrrow.

Nancy

Wed Feb 3rd...

I need to start coming up with snappier titles for my posts :o)

Hey Guys, the link for out giveaway is off to the side now. I wanted to let you all know I am seriously enjoying your names. I intentionally am not posting on that page because I don't want to skew the numbers or have my number be the one accidentally chosen :o)

You all are so creative...very cool. The Amethyst name made me think of jewels which made me think of a whole group of precious gem fairies...thank you for that one. I can see them in my mind already :o) Now... to find the right colors of yarn for them.

To answer one question...If you have posted once with a name and you are posting again, no need for a new name...unless you want to.

I am off to wrap up work on three customs that will be posted later today. Have a great day everyone.

Nancy
