February Theme:

Local Attraction

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

What is your most awesome local attraction?!

Maybe it's a beautiful mountain, a statue of a Spartan or a delicious cafe?

If you're a dolly who doesn't go outside, what is your "in house" local attraction?

Maybe it's a statue of Elvis, or an amazing doll house or a fantastic sink faucet...

who knows!?!?

I can't wait to see what your "local attraction" is!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Perhaps you're new to the Adventurer's Club...

Would you like to join the Adventurer's Club?

"What is it?" you ask?

The Adventurer's Club is a monthly photo challenge.

The "theme" for the month is vague enough that you can complete the task indoors if you're not a "drag your dolly out in public" kinda person.

ALL DOLL TYPES ARE WELCOME!

On the FIRST DAY of every month, I will reveal that month's theme.

At the end of the year, there will be prizes given out based on level of participation.

*NOTE*
January is a "wild card"... since I put this one up so late, you can complete this one at any time throughout the year. If you would like to participate in the January Adventure, please do!

You can find the theme on the Adventurer's Club tab, here:

http://majokkoshop.blogspot.com/p/adventurers-club.html

Don't feel like you have to have a masterpiece photograph either,

snap the shot with your cell phone, a point and shoot or a pro camera,

it doesn't matter, just as long as the resulting image is theme related!

How do you participate?

Simple!

1. Take your photo that relates to the theme

2. Share that photo with me (via email, posting a comment with a link, etc), on our Flickr Group:

http://www.flickr.com/groups/2496069@N20/

  or by using the hashtag #adventurersclub on Instagram!

(In the righthand side bar at the top of the page, you will see a link button back to this post)

My email is: littlebearries@yahoo.com


Please feel free to include a little caption for your image that describes what is going on, as well as any link to your own blog or website, and your doll's name, if these are things you'd like to share!

I will then share it on the Adventurer's Club tab at the top of the page!

(You can also find a link button on the Adventurer's Club page
that will link you back to each month's challenge)

(I'm pretty sure, "Because I need to shop at the Azone stores"
is not a legit reason to request citizenship...)

Aren't they cute?
There will also be a special little Sahra display in stores XD

Finally, there was a mention that the stores will also be having a Valentines event with sweets...
hopefully someone will post pictures!

Sharon Wright Photography Giveaway!!!

Sera: Uhm, uh, hello... I mean, uh, Hi!

I have a super exciting giveaway to share with you today!

Perhaps you remember a few months back when I did an interview with the lovely

Sharon Wright?

If you don't remember,

please go check it out here:

http://majokkoshop.blogspot.com/2013/11/interview-doll-photography-with-sharon.html

She's an awesome, kick-butt, super nice photographer for dolls and toys!

(I'm sure she'd photograph other things too... but let's face it,

we dolls and toys are the most awesome thing ever, so I'm just mentioning us, haha!)

Anyhow, if you haven't heard, she did the photography for the

2014 DOLLS Calendar,

and it's AWESOME.

You can find her images here:

https://www.facebook.com/dollpics

and here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/sharonwright/

Here are a few pics you'll find in the calendar:

For this next pic, she even did a breakdown of how it was made:

Better than that, though,

she sent over 2 Calendars to be given away...

as well as two amazing 8X10 prints of her fabulous work!

Look! She signed the calendars (and the prints too!)

Which prints, you ask?

Why, these two!

(Actual prints don't have the watermark and text on them, but she did sign them, which is awesome)

January Theme:

 Weather

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

What kind of "weather" adventure will your girls have?

Feel free to interpret this however you like.

Maybe it's a picture of your girl in the middle of a storm,

or feeling "under the weather",

or weathering a tough situation.

It's up to you!

Don't feel like you have to have a masterpiece photograph either,

snap the shot with your cell phone, a point and shoot or a pro camera,

it doesn't matter, just as long as the resulting image is theme related!

Also, the Azone Osaka shop is moving location and will be shut down for a few days while it does so.

What does this mean for those of us avidly following them from afar?

 

Not much XD

Local folks who try to visit will notice the disruptions,

but it will most likely be business as usual for the rest of us. :)
