Love ya all Mom 02-05-07 Hi Everyone. Still nothing is new here. No new entries for the contests. Seem like everyone has stopped dolling. Haven’t heard from anyone in 3 weeks. Hope your still out there. Still need more votes for the Christmas contest so I can make the awards. I have only 7 people to send in their votes.

Love ya all mom. 01-21-07 Hi Everyone. Mom here. Wow! It's a new year. Hope everyone one had a great Christmas and New Year. I was sick for both Holidays, then Amby just before going back to school so and we mostly stayed home and didn’t go look at any Christmas lights like we do every year. Charlie is the only one that has stayed well. I think it mostly because he stays in his room on his computer. Now Mike is sick and drove me crazy because he didn’t go to work for 3 days. Men are such babies. Any way Amby and I pray that it stop at him and don’t start all over again. Now on to the dolls. We need more votes for the Christmas contest. We have only got 7 people to send their votes in. Please stop by and send your votes in. We are going to stop the New Year contest on the Jan 31 and hope we get a couple more entries. We only have 5 entries and the month is almost over. A new Holiday contest has started so check it out. I have place more entries in several contests. Neat dolls so take a look it each contest to see what new dolls are in them and if you have not entered that contest maybe now you might. Don’t forget if you entered the fashion contest your space is still waiting for you. There still lots of spaces left open in all the contests. It seem like dolling is slowing down again. I hope not because it so much fun. Well that all for now. TTYL. Love ya all, Mom. 12-28-06 Hi Everyone. Just a quick note from a sick mom. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas.

Hopefully thing will slow down a little for me but these are the last hard weeks for Amberrose at school. Then her and her friend Jess are going to start working for their Gold the Highest award the Girl Scout give. Amby did say the other day she want to start making dolls again and she has been working on her free time on bases. I haven’t seen them yet. Guess we all will see them when they are put up. I’ll sent out the voters mail on Monday and also Amby, Charlie and I will finalize the votes if we don’t get back as many votes just like we didn’t for the last contest. We sent out about 25 e-mail asking our doller friend if they could help us as they have many time in the pass and also to the contestants and we only got 8 vote all together. :o( Well I’m off. Love ya all, Mom 05-27-06 Hey! How are you? I’m so glad you stop by to see what’s been going on at the Yellow Rose. We got some new contest entries, finally. It’s been slow with entries this year. I hope it better in the summer. I miss all the people that use to send their dolls in our contests. Has so many people stopped dolling :o( I’m also putting up more new site I found that have bases. I got the Easter awards up. Hope you all like them. Well I’m off. Love ya all, Mom 05-22-06 Hi! Everyone. I’m working on the Easter Awards today. I got a couple more vote sent to us, they really help to break some ties. We still sick here. The flu keeps going around the family. This is the first year we didn’t get the shots when the doctor told us too. I also guess we are to close of a family that we share everything to much. Amberrose is sick again and has to going to school with it because there only 4 weeks left of school here in California and she has miss to much already the school said. :o( The mother day contest is still open till the end of the month. Fathers Day {June} and the 4th of July contest are coming up. All other contest are still running please enter. Well I’m off. Love ya all, Mom 05-08-06 Hi! Everyone. Sorry I have gotten the Easter Awards out yet. I have been sick with the flu and it hit me hard. Then Amberrose got it and now Mike has it. I just pray my Charlie don’t get it. He’s been staying in his room. On the Easter Awards, we had only 8 people that sent in their votes. So I guess Amberrose and I will have to try and figure out what everyone should get. Beside that nothing much is going on. No one has been sending any new dolls for the contests. I guess everyone is stopping doling dolls. Well I’m off. Mom 04-25-06 Easter contest is now voting. Please cast your vote and send it to us. Thank you. 04-17-06 Hi! There everyone, The Mother day contest is now open. I have placed more entries in other contests.

Mom 03-11-06 Well, I see Amberrose has not up date when I told her to, so I guess I will do it. I have started 9 new contests and the base edit is now voting. The celebrity contest has been change to a colored contest. I couldn’t think of any more celebrities that would look good as dolls. Both Amby and I have not made any new doll. She has so much homework this year (11 grade) and I drive her and her brother to school back and forth Charlie is in Collage and don’t want to lean to drive. Amberrose said she wants to drive and if he still doesn’t drive in 2 years she’ll drive him. I bet that won’t sit good with him having his little sister driving him places. LOL I’m also still working hard on the base site and disk. Hope to have them both done soon. Well I better get back to putting up more contest entries. Don’t forget to check out the new contests. 02-01-06 Hmmm. I see Amberrose has not up dated when I keep asking her each weekend when she playing on her computer. Well I have the New Year contest now voting. Starting a new contest Valentine’s Day. I hope you enter the contest. Everyone has slowed down on entering any of our contests. I hope everything is all right with everyone. Well back to housework. : o ( Hug to all Janet the mom 12-03-05 Hi! Jan here. I got bored so again I played with my couple bases and moved them around. I letting the girls met other guys. LOL Hope they look OK the ways I put them. See ya 12-02-05 Hi Contest Contestants, We have decided to let 'Just Our Judges' judge the 'Thanksgiving' contest. There was to many ties and we don’t want anyone to think it was us who picked the winners if someone did not win anything. There will be still the Rose award that Amberrose and I pick and maybe a popularly vote. The Judges said they would get back ASAP to us so that mom can make the awards. I think that is how it works. I don’t think they make the award but we will see. I anyone has any questions please e-mail us back. Please don't be upset because we decided to do this. It’s just fair to everyone and hopefully no 4 way ties anymore in 5 categories. Also if anyone needs judges for their contest this is their site address http://just-our-dolls.com/judges/ Amberrose and mom 11-07-05 Hi! Everyone it’s me, Janet the mom here. I have lots of new contests started and will be putting up lots of new entries up but I well be putting them up tomorrow. Today at 4pm I got two biopsies done. One on the back of my right leg and the other on my left elbow so I’m a little in pain right now. Also I hope to be working on awards soon. We are still waiting on 7 contestants to vote. I like to give every contestant the chance to vote on the contest they entered. Thank you for those who did vote and sent to there friends to help out for voting. I think voting will end on Wednesday Nov. 09. That gives the last 7 contestants time to get their votes in. Well bye for now. I’m going to go sit and put my leg up and watch TV.
