Where is the party???

Where is the party?  Where has the summer even gone?  As quickly as this year is flying by, there are still things to mark your calendar for.  

People's Choice will start taking submissions beginning August 18th.  The Deadline for submissions is September 5th.

People's Choice Event will begin the voting starting September 8th and run through until September 22nd.  Keep in mind the Winner of the People's Choice will be featured on the cover of our next IADR Art Doll magazine.

At this time the IADR Art Doll magazine is planned to be released October 6th.  This year we are also having the IADR Doll Sale in October to make it easier to order and maybe have by Christmas for those wishing to purchase something special and unique.

Also we are already thinking of next year events and a poll will soon be out to see what type of themes you would like to have for the IADR Art Doll Convention in May as well as themes for the August juried show.  The Winter Blues juried show is pretty much "winter, blues, or anything in between" for that event *smiling*.

There are many things happening at the IADR, don't hide behind a mask.  Get involved with thinking about what you might want to submit in the People's Choice competition.  Do you want to put a 'Do What You Love' submission in the IADR Art Doll magazine?  Deadline for magazine submissions is September 19th.  If you like a theme to be added to the POLL, please send it to me soon at [email protected] as I hope to have the poll ready for next week's blog. 

The Shylock Doll Gathering is meeting TODAY (Tues, Aug 12th) at 12:30 pm.  The next IADR Art Doll Convention Planning Committee is meeting September 10th.
