PUDDAL or Bust! by Requiem:

They are all so fantastic!! I'm kind of partial to Effie but that's just cause I've met the little vixen.

Next year I need to get my act together and submit some.

I added Queen-bee's entry.

Ooowah! I didn't know you could enter two pictures ;___; I totally had a second idea too!

All the entries are so cute ^__^

I was so thrilled to see Byuls and a boy in the photos. Adds some variety! I especially like svohljott's Tamari, Effie kissing the turtle in the rain from effiethedal, and 2mnedolz's Jolie on the beach. But they are all fun to look at!

Added another missing entry, from Requiem!

Congratulations to our online photo contest winners! Gogojimmy has chosen "Kisses When Wet" by effiethedal as the Grand Prize Winner:


She says: "I think it stands out because of the color choice - as if it's taken directly out of the 70's, and since you can't really see the Dal's face you automatically focus on the kiss and thereby the turtle, so it's perfect for the theme. Also the fact that last year's theme is present is really nice to see."

She picked "Mermaid" by Strawberry Cuteness as the second prize winner and "Claire and turtle 1" by mioshu as the third place.





She says, "It was really hard to pick! As you can see it has taken me days - all the photos are great!"

Congratulations to effiethedal, mioshu, and Strawberry Cuteness! Effiethedal wins a $50 gift certificate to online shop Panik's Toy Box. Strawberry Cuteness and mioshu will receive a set of notecards of the new minis (donated by Jun Planning USA last year.) (Winners: If you are not coming to PUDDLE, please send me your address so I can mail your prize.)

Thank you to gogojimmy for judging and to everyone who took the time to enter.

I'm particularly happy that effiethedal won. Although she can't come to this year's PUDDLE, she made a Dal, Pullip, or Taeyang outfit for every gift bag, a very generous donation of her time.
