These are Wendy S'.goodies from her Gear Bag & prizes! Her just RFB minty Raincheck Won HTF Topper Item.
Here's what she had to say about Dawn Jamboree:
It totally RAWKED!!! OMG! Robin, De, Kathy and Babs did a spectacular job,
and it all went off with nary a hitch. After the Buffalo convention, I raved
to Rick about how beautiful NY state is. After this trip, I'm ready to move to
the Finger Lakes region. This state has to have it all! The scenery in
Watkins Glen is spectacular, and there seems to be something for everyone. I'm
hoping to go back sometime (soon?!) during the winter months to check it out
again. I need to know how much snowfall they get!!! LOL
Meanwhile, aside from our "old buddies" Babs, Dana, De, Mare and Angie, April
and I got to meet many previously un-met Dawnettes including Robin, Kathy B.,
Wendy B., and Meredith. Please forgive me if I've left someone out...as
always, the whole weekend was a blur of new faces and activity. Everyone was
wonderful, and I feel extremely proud and fortunate to know all of you. The
children were a joy, and it was fun to see them playing together. The husbands
are to be commended for their tolerance, and I think (hope?) that they came
away with a new understanding of their wive's love of Dawn. It's not just the
dolls...it's the kinship we feel toward each other. :- )
Most of what you will see was contained in the gear bag. The bandana backdrop,
the cup on the left, the pencils (imprinted with "Dawn Doll Jamboree 2002 NY"),
the mini (by Babs), the bumper sticker (proclaiming that "I survived the
Jamboree" which is obscured by the trophy), the glow stick, the plaque, and a
t-shirt (which as I type is in the washer!) and a magnet. The outfits modeled
by Dale and Glori as well as the trophy, were part of my prize in the HTF
contest. Dale's outfit was made by Christine, and Glori's was made by Louise
McReynolds. I SO love them both! De presented me with the (EXTREMELY lovingly
restored) diamond mini, and I got one of the magnets and the tanned Indian
Glori by way of the Survivor game. Again, I apologize if I forgot to mention
something. I reiterate, it's always a blur. ; - )
Man! You all should have been there! I can hardly wait 'til Vegas!!!
