Congratulations to effiethedal! Her photo "Kisses When Wet," which won the 2010 PUDDLE online photo contest judged by gogojimmy, appears in the October 2010 Doll Reader magazine! There is also a short blurb about PUDDLE. I've attached a couple of photos.

Hi. Just wanted to mention that the Willowbrook Wildlife Center now has a thank you for our donation on their website:

If you live near one or more decent bookstores, please be on the lookout for stories on PUDDLE in doll magazines! Let me know if you find something.

The November 2010 Doll Collector magazine has a one-page article on PUDDLE 2010 in the Doll Shows section! The piece includes photos taken by mamasllama of the dress-like-your-doll participants, the group shot, Keely's Cute Kimono, and my Dal Puddle. WellerMade is quoted, and effiethedal is mentioned as winning the online photo contest and making the outfits for the gift bags. Judge gogojimmy is also mentioned by name.

The magazine costs $6.99 on the newstand. Check a Borders or Barnes & Noble near you for a copy!

In addition, I have the opportunity to buy issues at a reduced rate. I have to buy them in sets of six. If you would like to order a copy for $6 including shipping from me to you, please let me (TrueFan) know right away.

A copy of the magazine donated by Doll Collector will be raffled off at next year's PUDDLE, and Doll Collector will be added as a PUDDLE sponsor.
