Enchanted Doll Birthday contest 2013

photo-6

Hey there, Enchanted Doll lovers! The Annual Enchanted Doll birthday contest is under way, with over a hundred entries received so far! The entry criteria is simple this year: Send me a travel post card to enter an Enchanted Doll. The deadline is Feb 28th.

The contest has been a blast. Every morning I wake up and look forward to receiving a new batch of cards, wondering which new places I’ll get to see today. My mail man is starting to get a bit weird-ed out and amused. Although hand-made was not a requirement, I am surprised just how many cards I’ve been getting, were hand crafted. Thank you for making that extra effort.

I look forward to more cards tomorrow! Keep ‘em coming!

    This may sound strange Marina, but I wish it was your birthday every second month. I have to say I so love the challenge you give us.

    Its very stimulating and so much fun.

    “One Card per person. No envelopes-just the postcard. Cards arriving in envelopes will be disqualified.” I thought so :/

    Hello, Marina!

    I just joined Your wonderful contest, but I am afraid that my postcard will not be able to get to You in a right time. I have sent it today, but I was tolled in the post office that it can take up to a month time for postcard to come from Estonia to Canada. =(

    If the card was sent before deadline but arrived later than 28/02 will it still have a chance?

    Ciao Marina… I am so Excited about the Birthday Contest. I already sent my Postcard. The Post Office told me It will arrive before the 28th. But not sure It will get to your House on time. Will You check the day It arrives to your Country? Hope so!! Notice I put the stamp upside down. This means Kisses are sent with the Card :-} Enjoy a Magical Day… Sylvia Leticia

    I mailed mine today – allowing 8 days for travel from Charleston SC to Canada – sadly the Post Office said 6-10 Days!!! My 8 days is right in the middle of their ‘estimate’ —- fingers crossed they are faster than they estimated!!!!

Please write me your email,I will sent you tracking-number and photoes of my card without any photoshop. I afraid,it won’t come on time,thus that is not my fault.

    Hello, Marina. I sent his congratulation on January 19. Mail ID says that it was delivered in Canada, but there is a problem with the award. I hope that You get my card in time.

    Not to worry Astera if you did not ask for a signature they will mail it to them. I sent mine express with no signature.

    I sent my postcard of Venice to you, but got it returned february 28th x( It got lost in Iceland(!?) and then returned here. I wrote the right address and everything. Guess if I’m bummed out, aahaa.. :/
    Anyway, I wish everyone else the best of luck.

    I still want to thank you for the wonderful chance, Marina. It’s very generous..
