June: Interactive Photo Challenge

Hi, everyone! Welcome to June's challenge. I had a tough time thinking of something, so this has ended up pretty similar to the other photo challenges that have been done so far. But hopefully we all have fun with it!

The Challenge:Each week I will post three themes for photos. You can choose to do one, two, or all three themes. You can also go back and do previous weeks' themes up until the end of the month. Your photo should feature at least one Dal, but can include other dolls, too. Please mention the theme you're doing when you post the picture.

The "Interactive" part is that you can also post photo themes if you would like! Any member of the board can post a challenge per week for others to take photos of. You can take a picture for your own theme, or not, that's up to you. Please bold your themes so they are easily seen by everyone.

Prizes: I am working on some fun summer dresses as prizes. There will be multiple winners.

First week photo themes:
*Rainbow
*Monochrome (choose any color, but the majority of your photo should be that color)
*June holiday (I enjoyed the weird May holidays so much that it was fun to check out June-- https://nationaltoday.com/june-holidays/

Sounds fun! I'm not sure how much I'll participate before PUDDLE is over, but I'll do what I can!

Oh boy, more fun holidays! I can think of some ideas for some already, but... how much time will I have....? Will sure try to do some of them.

Well, we are off to a slow start, but there's still plenty of June left. Remember you can post a picture for a previous week's challenge even as we're on to the next week. And anyone is welcome to post their own challenge/ theme as well!

Second week photo themes:
*Your first Dal and your newest Dal
*PUDDLE or puddles
*In the garden

Here is my photo for one of the second week themes, my first and newest Dals. Henri (Monomono) was my first Dal (and second overall Groove doll, after my Taeyang HasH), acquired second hand from the Dolly Market boards in September 2015. Soliloquy (custom mocha) is my most recent addition*, purchased from ebay at the end of April.

(*OK, technically she's kind of not... I received my prize doll from the Scavenger Hunt the same day, but she's currently bald while I search for the perfect wig. And I did get another Dal in a cheap lot a few weeks ago, but I haven't quite decided if I'm keeping her yet...)

I'm sorry, dargosmydaddy - nothing will happen from me until after PUDDLE on June 15! But I promise to take some photos after that!

No worries! I know June is a busy month for many.

I love the first Dal and newest Dal!

I'm going to write the themes down and stick them on the fridge like I did last month. Maybe that will prompt me to take some pictures. I'm a lil swamped at the moment and am not even going to PUDDLE

Also admit to being busier than I'd like this month.  But I managed to get one photo in.  I hope to get more done soon.



If I'm being 100% truthful, then this photo shows my first (Moe the Jolie) and fourth-newest (Serina the Loa) dals. I have three other Dals who arrived after her, but the Hoho belongs to my daughter (so technically, not mine), and the other two (Erenfreid and Puki) are my work Dals...

Moe's got some serious side-eye going there, and Serina looks a little worried They're a lovely pair!

Yay, the crew got some photo time

For "Rainbows", here's Samantha with a rainbow plushie seahorse from Hawaii.




We don't have much of a garden STILL -- it was only 13C today, augh!!!!  The garden is way behind, both in things growing and in me planting things.  But the lily of the valley is blooming, so here's Samantha in the garden.




First and newest...  Janice & Penny, the first Dals, arrived together (thanks again to Fishy) and Darla is the newest.

Aw! Love Samantha being dwarfed by the rainbow seahorse, but the lily of the valley are just her size! And the minis look cute together (and I love their outfits).

Hoping to take some photos today!

Fourth (and final) week photo themes:
*Cooling off
*Friends forever
*Dance party!


Remember you have until next Sunday to post photos from any weeks' themes. And anyone can still post a theme of their own. (So if your doll is currently dressed a certain way, or you have a prop readily available, create a theme around it and snap a picture )

Those are cute, True.  And Zenith's dress is cool.

We all still be fangirlin' here at PTFCo following the concert, so it might be debatable who's actually the "Fangirl", but whatever... here's Samantha representing

ha, she looks very fangirl-y!

Great photos! The cat looks a little uncertain about being hugged. And Samantha makes a great fangirl!
