Wrapping up the Dress Form Ball and the Winner!


Poor Lady Anita Man is so exhausted, I found her resting on a garden bench!


The Dress Form Ball was a total success!!  I thought maybe 25 people would link up their forms.  No, there wasn't 25.......There was 107!...Faint, I'm going to faint!

From the bottom of my heart, Thank You.  
To those that linked their fabulous dress forms and those who left comments

Speaking of comments.....Chosen from the comments by Random.org the winner of the dress form from Barr Display is.....
...Aledia from "Plum Perfect"........Congratulations!


Now a little housekeeping
The doorman has informed me a few articles were left behind and need to be claimed....Geez, who would leave just one shoe...Crazy?



And about Lady Anita Man, Say "Anita Man" 3 times quick...groan!



Get ready for the 2013
 2nd Annual


Well, that wraps it up....Unless someone can tell me how to get rid of lingering guests!



Thank You for making the Dress Form Ball a HUGE success!


Happy Valentines Day!
&
Happy Creating!
Carol

That was fun and I'm glad we will still be able to look at it because I haven't had time to go through them all yet. I am inspired to make one of those half dress forms--and I plan to do it before the next ball. Trust me--now with all these ideas I think she will be lovely!

Carol,
It was a pleasure!! I am glad you are going to add a link so we can enjoy all the Belles of the Ball whenever we want!
So many great ideas and such inspiration!
Thanks again for hosting! So looking forward to next year's Ball. I am sure I will have a few more beauties by then because I am off to order my dress form since I did not win the giveaway. Congrats to Aledia!!

Sandy said...

The ball was a success!

Hedy has been resting from all the....dancing...twirling...swooning...champagne-ing...singing...the merriment of the evening.

May I say "she had the time of her life". And, will be looking all year for her next perfectly perfect outfit for the Dress Form Ball 2013.

We want to thank you for being such a gracious hostess.... and letting us be apart of your party.

xoso
HEDY and Sandy

Ruby Jean said...

Oh I LOVE it!!!! and I LOVED the Ball... Oh and those lingering guest look like they are still having themselves a Good 'Ol time so they should be allowed to linger just a bit longer... However Anita Man needs to get herself off of the Bench because that is MOST unbecoming especially for a Lady of her Standing... :) Thank you so Much for hosting and I am looking forward to Next Years Ball.... :) Oh and a BIG congratulations to your Winner!!!

Michelle said...

LOL! Anita Man lying on the bench is great. Loved your Ball, will be ready in 2013!

Carol, I had such a great time at the ball and had a blast fixing up Ms. Bertha. She had a great time and wants to go back next year. Her sister out in my studio heard about and and wants to attend next year (sibling rivalry). I'm afraid she will take a lot more work to get her fixed up but I promised so I will do it. My computer died on Friday and so I am on a new computer and missed seeing all the beautiful ladies so I am glad you will have pictures posted.
Thanks again for hosting this great party which I am sure will be an annual event.

Congratulations on your wonderful, successful party! I'm glad you're going to make it a yearly event. That gives me a full year to actually buy one and do something fabulous with it. I enjoyed snooping about until my computer got a blogging injury.

Checking in on borrowed time from a borrowed clunker. Ah, life...
