Hello everyone! I know that I say this over and over again – but I really do have the BEST customers ever. During these past few months of ‘growth’ (more like an explosion) in our business the thing that has floored me is the community that is building over on Facebook. There are over 1,500 of you on there – cheering each other on when you get a doll, sharing pictures of things you make for your dolls, helping out newbies through the buying insanity that is upload days – it’s incredible. Just last week a mom posted on Facebook about how upset she was that her daughter’s dolls had been stolen, within the hour I received an email from another mom on Facebook – who after hearing the story of the lost doll – got together with a few others and pooled together money to get this woman a new doll for her daughter – how cool is that? Sadly I’ve had to take a bit of a step back from it lately – I was finding that I was spending way to much time on there – and my time is pretty limited, especially lately . Petra – aka Bamboletta Helper – has been enlisted to help out on Facebook to answer questions and provide information. Petra has been a ‘fan’ of Bamboletta for years now – she knows as much about Bamboletta as I do!
I also thought I should make a ‘formal announcement’ about Custom Dolls, I hate to tell you this but I will not be offering custom dolls for the foreseeable future. I feel that at this point in my business offering as many Ready to Go dolls as we can is the best thing to do and ,from a personal standpoint, keeping things as simple as possible is the best (and most sane) thing for me to do. I could get into the why’s and explanations of this decision, but I think it’s best to just leave it at that. We will be finished customs within the next month – once they are all finished, you can expect to see at least 20 – 30 dolls up on the site per week! This will include more boy dolls, babies, toddler dolls, blanket dolls , fairies and new little fun dolls that I’ve been itching to create. Now, this isn’t to say that I won’t EVER do customs again – just not now – with the amount of dolls we are making having the freedom and flexibility to create whatever it is we are ‘feeling’ that week is really important.
I’ve got to go now – I have a basket of dollies that need faces and a new episode of ‘Lost’ to watch =) I will try to post on here more – really I will. I’m thinking of another doll giveaway in the next few days…. hmmm….
