Two Year Blogiversary Post

This post is dedicated to everyone who has visited 'Fashion Doll Memoirs'. I would like to start off by saying, "Thank You". Thank you to everyone who has read, commented on, or followed this blog. Thank you for your support and your input. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to get to know the dolls in my collection through their stories. I hope that the time you've spent with my dolls has brought you as much enjoyment as they've brought me.

I started this blog with the belief that every doll has a story to tell. At the time only two of my dolls had committed to writing one post each, and I was unsure if I could convince enough of my dolls to contribute stories to sustain a blog. Add to this my mediocre photography skills and it really is amazing to me that 'Fashion Doll Memoirs' has done as well as it has. Over the course of two years this blog has earned 12 followers and has been nominated to participate in the Liebster Award, the Quote Of The Day Challenge, and the Great Doll Blog Award. Not bad for a blog with less than 100 posts.

For this two year blogiversary post, I thought I would give you a glimpse of the person behind the blog. The photo below was taken on a family vacation to Wildwood a few years ago. My face is mostly obscured by the camera I'm holding; I took the picture myself by photographing my reflection in the car window. I was trying to be all artistic, but the end result didn't turn out the way I was hoping.

This photo should give you a general idea what I look like. I didn't feel comfortable using a better picture, partly for privacy reasons and partly because I don't think I photograph well. I tend to smile too big when I know I'm being photographed, which looks fake and makes my eyes scrunch up too much.

Thank you again for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.
Signed, Treesa

Well This Is Awkward

Hello from Treesa. Today, I was supposed to announce the winner of my One Year Blogiversary Disney Giveaway. Unfortunately, no one entered. So it looks like Mini Anna and Ruby will be staying with me for the time being. On a brighter note, I'm now up to six followers. Considering how erratic my dolls' posting has been I think I'm lucky to have that many. I'll try to encourage my dolls to post more.

One Year Blogiversary Disney Giveaway

Hello to all my friends and visitors. This is Treesa. Friday, May 20th, was my one year blogiversary. Unfortunately, I was having some computer issues and couldn't post this until now.

To celebrate my one year blogiversary, I'm hosting a little giveaway. First the rules.

Unfortunately, this giveaway is only open to residents of the United States. I was checking international shipping rates and they seem to be out of my price range.

To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment on this post stating that you would like to enter the giveaway. Please include the name you'd like to be known by and an email address where I can contact you if you win. I've already changed the settings on my blog so that all comments will be sent to me for approval, so your information will only be seen by me.

You will have until June 5th (that's a Sunday) to enter the giveaway. On June 6th (that's a Monday) I will choose a winner at random. I will announce the winner on the blog, and I will also email the winner using the email address they have provided. The winner will have until June 13th (the following Monday) to email me back with a mailing address. If I have not been contacted by the winner by then, another winner will be chosen.

Because this blog does not have many followers yet, and because the readership is still small, your odds of winning are probably very high. Now, on to the prizes.

Because the majority of my followers seem to be Disney fans like me, I selected a Disney Frozen Mini Toddler Anna. This little darling is about 3 and 1/2 inches tall. She also has some limited posability.

Because I didn't like the idea of Anna traveling alone, she will be accompanied by a Ruby From Enchancia figure from Disney's Sofia The First. Ruby is about 3 inches tall and also appears to have some limited articulation. Her hairstyle reminded me of the American Girl Cecile doll. Ruby comes packaged with a small plate of cookies and a plastic charm.

Since a lot of fairytale kingdoms are associated with Europe, I'm also including a package of sixth scale Euro Bills for the girls to use as pocket money.

Well, I guess that's it. Good luck to all.
