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):

Great idea Adina...although my husband already thinks I spend too much time here! What fun..but may take me a while!!!

[Jacquie Yorke (DRC)]

Love the photos! You always look like a movie star...: ) I just happen to think it's quite hysterical and ironic that unless she posts away like a lunatic, poor Tamara is going to have to buy ME a little gift!!!....ROTFLMAO!!!!

I think as a gift Ann would greatly appreciate a little book on how she can FINALLY get rid of her Burdock problem once and for all.....

[Jacquie Yorke (DRC)]

THERE YOU GO!...lol.....bet you could get a few for $5!...LOL

[Tamara & Giada]

Hey, I agree with Karen that it is not fair you don't get a gift because you're first in line. I will gladly send you a gift. You desrve it more than Jacquie...............ROTFLMBO!!!

Can't wait!! Sounds fun!

[Maya]

Well, you ARE amazing! How did you come up with that one! GREAT idea! And cute photos!

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Boy, I am on the Doodle Kisses website every night and have signed up for a few discussion groups, joined groups and also reply to questions that people post. I have a nice collection started of "friends" but my status hardly ever moves!!! At this rate it will take me forever to be "hopeless" which I find odd since my family and friends think I am obsessed. Isn't that the same as "hopeless"??? ha ha

[Missi]

I'm obsessed too, and my family has definitely decided I'm hopeless! The points add up faster later for some reason, or maybe it's just because I didn't have a doodle the first few months I was on here. Unfortunately sheer hours of time spent on DK reading doesn't count, otherwise I would have hit hopeless the month I joined!!! Don't stress about it, you'll be hopeless with the rest of 'em soon!

Adina, love the picture...I wish I was that small!
