January down-under is traditionally our summer holiday period, so everyone is trickling back to work and looking towards the year ahead. It was a great start to the New Year for me when the Doll Industry's 2008 Doll of the Year Choice winners were announced on Friday, January 25 at IDEX Premiere in Orlando, Florida. IDEX is the largest gathering of collectible doll talent in the world!
In the Collectible Baby Doll category my Woodland Fairy doll was chosen as one of the Industry Choice Winners. This doll was the first one I designed in my Collectible Doll series, so I'm particularly proud of this achievement. I have seen a wonderful response to the doll range since we started and the award is a very nice acknowledgment to the care and attention that is taken in producing each and every doll.
