While we are playing our Winter Blue game in Instagram to let people know about our juried show coming up, don't forget the deadline for entering the actual juried show!

The Deadline is March 7th, 2025 and this will be our first juried show that will have a category for clay sculptures and a separate category for fiber art forms.  Exciting isn't it!  I can't wait to see all the wonderful entries.

Also what makes this event unique is the opportunity for members of IADR and non-members to win a free year membership to the IADR.  Sounds like a win/win situation to me!

As it was recently explained to me, Facebook and (Twitter)X are like old cable TV where you are tied to a tv box and only see what the cable company offers.  Bluesky is like Streaming TV where you can pick and choose from several streaming providers and make choices as to what you want to see and when.  Just like Streaming TV has almost killed cable TV, I think this new way that Bluesky has customized what information you want to see will also make a difference in social media.

Also, on Bluesky, I have created an IADR Custom Feed that I hope to grow with doll makers, doll artists, doll collectors, and doll buyers.  Just putting out that wish to the Universe *smiling*... consider adding it to your Feeds.

Now that we are in the New Year, you will be seeing (hopefully) more posts and videos regarding our IADR Art Doll Convention in May 2025.  It would be awesome to see you there, but if you can't make it, please keep in mind that it helps in supporting us by getting out the word by liking, commenting, or sharing those posts when you see them.

Let's work together to make this one a success so more IADR Conventions may follow!
