And The NEXT Doodle Addict Is...

[Adina P]

All you active members deserve recognition for your participation... and now you will have your moment of glory, one by one! The award for your addiction...ahem...I mean valuable contribution to Doodle Kisses...is on its way!

Have you noticed the "My Ranking" on your profile page? Based on your participation on Doodle Kisses you have earned points and a ranking anywhere from "Doodle Curious" (for the newbie) to "Doodle Fancier" all the way up to "Hopeless Doodle Addict."

Starting with the "Hopeless Doodle Addict" with the most points we will be passing on a Trophy to all our Doodle Kisses members who reach "Hopeless Doodle Addict" Status.

The trophy is now on its way to Ann Bankert (the next in line on the leaderboard) along with a little gift just for Ann. When Ann receives the trophy, she will keep the gift but must pass on the trophy to the NEXT person in line. BUT before passing on the trophy, she must photograph herself with her doodles and the trophy and post the photo as a new discussion. She will also send on a special "little something" ($5 max, please) just from her to the next person! And so on...down the line until the last Hopeless Doodle Addict has possession of the trophy. At that time, that individual will hold on to the trophy until the next member reaches Hopeless Doodle Addict status...and the fun will continue from there.

Sound fun? Are you in?

You will get notified when you are next in line...so dust off your mantle!

Here I am, a completely, shameless, "Hopeless Doodle Addict" with my two sweeties Rosco & Thule (labradoodles):

Okay. My lips are sealed.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

But could you have Bandit draw me a picture anyway? I'll put it on the fridge.

[F, Calla & Luca]

I won't tell.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Maybe we need a valued member of the photography group to take a picture and then photoshop doodle bobble heads on human bodies or ....

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

Yes Karen!! I will give Bandit markers and PAPER this time to draw you a nice picture for your fridge. His art can be a little difficult to understand, but you are a bright lady so I am sure you will appreciate it!!

[Tamara & Giada]

Hi! Giada and I are the latest Doodle Addicts :) We would like to thank Jacquie, Blake and Bella for our wonderful gifts. We got Valentines candy (for the humans of course), a bone picture with a pic of Giada and I and some lovely dog toys and bandanas!!

Stay tuned for the next Doodle addict, it just might be you!!! Here are some pix:

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Congratulations to you both!

[Leslie and Halas]

Congrats!

[Laurie Young]

This is such a cute idea. I Love it!

[Joyce Orland]

I do not have my doodle yet, but I know I will be an addict!!!!

[Jessica]

Folks, don't worry about having points deducted - there is in fact no actual 'prize' or recognition for your efforts.   But yes, it is a nice idea.  Enjoy the chase!  

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I don't understand this comment. The recipient doesn't get to keep the trophy or the journal, but as can be seen from the photos above, you do get some nice gifts and the enjoyment of sharing and participating in this DK tradition. And certainly all of us who have responded here recognize the current HDA's efforts. What would constitute an "actual prize or recognition" in your opinion?
