The International Art Dolls Registry is hosting their Fall Online Sale October 18th through October 24th, 2026.

That means if you, as a IADR member, wishes to participate in it--you only have TWO weeks to send me your doll image for the page or submit here.  Deadline - Oct 16, Friday. 

This Sale is also going to be a little different in that instead of just advertising the page, each participant will have a day of the sale where their work/doll will be featured in social media. 

This event is for IADR members only.  If you have any questions email Lesley at iadregistry@outlook.com.

IADR Members who participated in the People's Choice Event will automatically be added to the Fall Event. To submit your doll for the Fall Sale page click the submission form here. 

Spark Social will be meeting October 21st, Wednesday at 10 am MST - 6 pm in Italy.


Why join in this Zoom meeting?  Why to help your growth in the social media world.  But it is more than just that!  


If you knew how being an IADR member can expand your reach by how I share your posts, then imagine if we all know the same information and how much bigger a reach can be made as we support each other.

Just this past week Facebook  created a new restriction on my Facebook business page.  I am only able to post two outside links (example - like an Etsy link or a website link) per MONTH!  If I want to post more than two, I now need to pay for it.  This does not affect personal pages or groups.  But as a small business owner/artist just another financial hit that makes it harder to be seen and stay in business. 


That is why I am a firm believer in the "more we know, the more we grow."  Also, power to the people in that we are stronger together than we are apart.  In this age of technology, it is easy to fall through the shifting cracks and changing markets.   If you like to learn more about the ever changing landscape of the social media world, drop Lesley an email at iadregistry@outlook.com saying you wish to be added to this group.

People's Choice Event is now over and the winner will be announced with the new edition of the ART DOLLS Magazine coming out October 20th, 2026.


Though the winner is waiting to be announced, let me share the awesome reach that was achieved during this event. 


On the ART DOLLS Magazine website during September 18 to October 2 there were 10,114 page views with 3,157 unique views.

Keep in mind, that this event is the first with the IADR using its new hosting site.  This change seems to have been a good choice to make as the IADR received during September 18 to October 2 was 88,047 page views (WOW!) with 21,398 unique views (IMPRESSIVE!) and with 29% of those viewing on a mobile device.


The highest one-day visit of 2,985 unique visits was on September 28.  Every single IADR artist received visits to their Artist Studio with several still receiving visits after the event!  For example, today is October 5th and five artist studio pages have been visited with the visitor also looking at the various dolls within the artist's studio.  


Keep in mind that this is advertising opportunity and another reason as to jump on board if you were wondering to join in the Fall Online Sale coming up VERY SOON!
