May 2026 - Hello Dolly!

🌸✨ May Theme: Hello Dolly! ✨🌸

This month, we’re rolling out the tiny red carpet for all things doll-sized (or delightfully doll-free)!

Your challenge: create a miniature scene and share a photo (or two!) showing how you used a doll … or how you cleverly chose not to. Whether your doll is the star of the show, a background extra, or completely absent in a “where’s Dolly?” twist, we’re excited to see where your imagination takes you.

Bring on the whimsy, the storytelling, and those charming little details. We can’t wait to see your creative designs come to life! 🎭🪄

To participate, please submit no more than two photos. If you have additional images, feel free to combine them into a collage. A maximum of two projects may be featured across your photos or collages.

Send your photos along with a brief description to Preble McDaniel at smallpackages@comcast.net, and we will post them HERE. Be sure to include your mailing address.

At the end of the monthly challenge, you’ll receive a small thank-you gift for participating.


The challenge example comes from Cat Wingler who writes: 

It started with making the Santa doll and an elf reading letters and deciding the naughty-or-nice list. I liked them so much I gave them a chair… and from there, the room just kept growing until they had a whole little world of their own.
