FREE Adora Doll

Yes, that's right, we're going to be giving away a free Adora Doll! No purchase necessary, this is just for fun.

The one we have selected to give away is one of my favorites. It has the sweetest little face. For you Adora collectors, it is one of the "B" sculpts. This little 20 inch baby doll is wearing a knit outfit and cap (basketball not included). See photo below:

This baby has short hair, so it can wear bonnets. Adora dolls can easily be changed from being a boy baby to a girl baby simply by changing outfits!

You can see what I mean by viewing another Adora doll (no longer available) that has the same face and body as the doll above, except it is dressed in a baby girl outfit. View doll dressed in girl outfit.

Winner will be chosen Thanksgiving weekend 2007.

We are going to put all the names in a hat. Then we're going to have Hannah (age 3) reach inside the hat and pick the winner's name! We will notify the winner by email.
