The HDA Trophy has Arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Donna K & Quincy]

The Hopeless Doodle Addict Trophy has arrived in Torbay, Newfoundland. After a little mixup at the post office and a sharp rise in Ricki's stress level, the package was delivered into my hands. Quincy's nose immediately went into overdrive and he just knew there was something in there for him. He was nose deep into the package from Ricki and Tara.

We had planned a landmark photo shoot for the trophy but Mother Nature has been less than cooperative, with gale force winds and lots of rain it was time for plan B.
It seemed only fitting that to recieve this prestigious award we should do like the stars do when they receive their awards and get glammed up just a little ( and write our acceptance speech of course). I didn't have time to get my diamonds out of the vault. :>)

Thank you, thank you, we are so honoured to be chosen for the Hopeless Doodle Award. We now join the ranks of all the other HDAs before us and take our place on the Leaderboard of Fame ( that's the equivalent of having your star on Hollywood Boulevard). I  would like to thank Adina(and Clark) for starting this wonderful site, all the wonderful friends I've met here, the groups and their leaders who have taught me so much, the members whose competitive nature and wonderful senses of humour have kept me laughing and thinking. And last but not least I would like to thank my wonderful doodle Quincy, without him none of this would be possible, he is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I'd also like to thank DH for putting up with the time I spend on DK.

We recieved a wonderful package from Ricki, with chocolate, popcorn, a beautiful Oregon mug and Beef Jerky. Quincy is absolutely delighted with the salmon treats, beaver and the monster ball( which is now his favorite toy). Ricki also included some info on Oregon travel and I was pleased to see that Newfoundland and Oregon have a lot in common.

There are now a couple of extra nose prints on the HDA Trophy.

Thank you Ricki and Tara for all the goodies! I will have to pace myself as I am trying to drop a few pounds.

Congratulations.... love that you dressed the part for your photo shoot & acceptance speech!  Some day I will get to be an HDA, but it may take a while!!!!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Come and play games with us, it shoots your points up in a hurry! :>)

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Yipeee!  And big ol congratulations from Rooney, Stuart and I!!!!!!!!!!  The photos of Quincy (and you) are just darling, I love your acceptance outfit.  I get goose bumps when I see the trophy in these pictures and realize that it was once at our house and just keeps traveling around to all the winners - almost like a small part (nose prints) is there with you.  So cool and you are so deserving - take the time to enjoy it and don't forget to read that journal.  That was one of the best parts!!!!

[Donna K & Quincy]

I've read the journal and it does give you goosebumps to know that all those doodle noses have touched the trophy. It just makes you all feel even closer. TY

[Leslie and Halas]

Congratulations!  It was so nice of Quincy to get all glammed up with you.  You both look great!

[Donna K & Quincy]

TY Leslie, Quincy does make a nice accessory!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Once again, Congratulations Donna and Quincy!!  This was definitely a Red Carpet event and you guys are on the "best dressed" list for sure!!  I love your photos and am so glad that you and Quincey are enjoying your little treasures from Oregon!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Thanks Ricki, I am enjoying everything and getting things together for the next addict which only adds to the fun.

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Wow!  Color me surprised.  I had assumed that you and Quincy were already on the HDA leader-board.  Quincy's just such an iconic doodle (and gorgeous to boot) that I believed you two had been around forever!!  Anyhow, congratulations!!!!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Deanna, some days I feel like I've been around forever! lol
