Thanks to everyone who supported this labor of love. Preparing for the doll show was much more than sewing and dressing five dolls. My desire was to give patrons a snapshot of what Beauty of Creating has to offer.
Me!
The event was a huge success and I am sure all participants would agree. My sister joined me as 'copilot' and many old and new friends came to visit the Beauty of Creating vendor table. We prepared gift/swag bags for the first 10 patrons to visit. Additionally, there were gifts, doll clothes, shoes, and lots of future opportunities to win prizes.

Our major prize offer is for new and old friends to register for any of the three social media contacts to receive up to three entries into our doll giveaway/raffle. When 25 new contacts register, I will post the dolls entering the contest, and participants vote on the one they would like to adopt, for free. The doll with the highest number of votes will be the 'gift'. Then we will electronically select a winner and post the winner on all (3) media locations. The winner will have 48 hours to claim the prize.
