Party wrap up and one more prize! >>

Posted by Front Office on July 22, 2024, 8:51 am

I hope everyone enjoyed the party! I always love planning it out and getting everything together. I love reading all your answers, though coming up with questions sometimes is a challenge. LOL

THANKS to Kay in Chgo and Ivy in MA for sponsoring our party and helping with the postage!!

MANY THANKS to Sandra in OH, Attila, Becky in Upstate, SuzanneMcD, Bennett Mazor, Madame M Designs, Debbie in MA, Jeff and Anonymous for donating out fantastic prizes!

Sixteen years... That 112 in dog years! LOL Seriously, I am glad to run the board and will continue to do so, but there are days I wish there was more participation. I am one of the worst when it comes to posting lately. My collecting habits have shifted and I rarely have any Gene's on display. But every time I think I might sell some Gene's or get one out to photograph the prizes, I realize I love my Gene's too much to part with. She has a place in my collecting heart. So I am determined to play more with my neglected Gene's and give them the love they deserve.

Kay messaged me yesterday after I posted the final giveaway and she said "I thought you might have one for each year". Now why didn't I think of that? So I will post one more prize question below and pick a winner tonight at 8PM board time. The prize is an AD Metro Benefit dress, coat and purse.

GOOD LUCK, thanks for playing and visiting The Studio Commissary!

I drop in every day but rarely comment. Will do better.

there are so many nice Gene people here.. however the responses to post are very low and I promise to do better myself. Kay seems to keep it going with her great participation and posts without her there would be a lot less to view. Its a valuable place and it deserves more attention from all of us

I don't do Facebook, so this is my way of "visiting" other Gene people.

Thank you so much Mike I think things have changed a bit with Gene and I really don't buy anymore but I have more than enough and I still appreciate the collection I have. I have also made a number of amazing friends!

Cheers,

Truth? I don't. But that is because I just don't play with my Gene dolls much anymore. >>

I loved and supported Gene and company for a long time, but as other lines developed more articulation and were easier to pose for photos, I found myself gravitating more in that direction. There is a nice group here, and you do a good job of running the board. I always enjoy visiting, but I don't do it every day.

All of you are my dolly friends. You understand my collector heart and I don’t have to explain. Lol

other Gene doll collectors and admirers.. I love seeing the beautiful pictures that the regular board members share, and also “seeing” many of the folks that I’ve met at SSP events. Brings back happy memories.
