WOWSA! Back from the Beyond, and a Prize Winner!


Holy smokes everyone!

What a crazy past few weeks! I’ve been lost in both the cyber world (the computer crashed and stayed down for almost two weeks) and the real world (can we say a new 12 hour work week?!)…..

So I apologize for not finishing up my monthly Halloween roundup, but I’ve now returned (crossing fingers no other crazy “life moments” happen!) to finish up the Halloween Carnival. Because, you know, I LOVE HALLOWEEN. Hopefully you had a great Halloween, too.

Before I get into today's CatchUp Posting, a few announcements:

1. Holiday Ball Swappers--you have roughly a little more than TWO WEEKS to get your doll in the mail! Remember! Dolls must be postmarked December 15th to your partner!
****ALSO, PLEASE SEND PICS of your FINISHED DOLL if you want me to put them on display on this blog, BEFORE DECEMBER 10th!

2. Some time ago, I put this Victoriana Halloween matchbox prize up in one of these Halloween Giveaways, but I never explained how to win it.


I've decided to give this to one of you who was consistent in posting throughout the Halloween Carnival, up to date, and who hasn't won a prize already.....and that person is:
Jeanne of Wildwoods Studio!! Jeanne, email me your address at beyondvagabond@gmail.com AND CONGRATS!!

Ok.......
Anyhow, I believe I last left off with ADO’s Halloween dolls. While this may seem pointlless at the moment, I know there are some of you who LOVE Halloween Dolls, even as Christmas gifts, so here are a few from my friends, and talented Doll Artists at Art Dolls Only.
Art Dolls Only is a wonderful group of doll artists who are very supportive of each others work. I love them!

Remember, too, that they have TONS of other dolls, not just in Halloween theme, so check out the links to these great artists, provided in red, above each doll.

    Oh no! It is awful when the computer goes on the blink.
    I am not sure if you received my Thank you email for the wonderful red Christmas Angel? I featured her on my blog a few days back.
