| Looking Forward to UFDC 2009! |
|
I have spent parts of the last few days registering myself and three other DOLLS staff members for UFDC 2009 Convention in Atlanta, Ga. After reading the 36-page registration manual, I’m slightly in awe of the attention to detail and amount of planning that goes into the event. I’ve never attended the convention before, so I am excited by what appears to be a jammed-packed-with-good-and-diverse-doll-stuff event unlike anything I’ve ever gone to before. Besides attending everything I possibly can fit into my schedule, we will be taking lots of video footage in the lobby to put together a great video that will be available later in the digital edition of the magazine and on www.dollsmagazine.com. If you’re going to the event, be on the lookout for us; we look forward to meeting everyone! Also, if you’re looking for other doll-related things to do in Atlanta (as if UFDC doesn’t have enough), check out the article on the Atlanta doll scene on page 45a of the digital edition. |

Thank you once again for exceeding expectations of the 2010 series of Madame Alexander dolls for the McDonald's Happy Meals.
My mother and I have collected them since the inception of these adorable little dolls.
We've searched near and far to make sure we've collected each one in the series. The last few years though we've had a wonderful woman at McDonalds who knows that we are anxiously awaiting for the new years series and makes certain we've gotten them all.
I thank you and McDonald's for such a treat and of course adding to my collection of dolls.
Sincerely,
Vicki Shaffer

My daughter and I have marvelled and collected these dolls ever since we first discovered them the summer my mother was desperately ill in hospital and we had rushed to Galveston, TX to be with her. It may have been the first year they appeared. My daughter was 2.5 and we had brought very few dolls or toys with us. These McDonalds toys saved us. I couldn't believe the detail of the tiny sleep eyes and the real hair, and sweet costumes - still can't. We played with Peter Pan and Cool Kathy, and all the rest, making up little scenarios. We hurried eagerly down to the restaurant each week for the next ones. We even travelled around to find the dolls when we missed some. They made a tough time easier.
Every year we make sure to collect as many of the dolls as we can. I've kept them all.
