Happy Monday! Does anybody like Mondays? I actually do. I get to sleep in because of late church nights, only because I’m homeschooled.
And then I also don’t like Mondays, because getting a late start on my day always gets me behind schedule. I did try to wake up at 5 this morning, but I fell back asleep at 7. 😆 Typical Madi fail.
But this isn’t about Mondays or failing at waking up early! I’m handing it off to Del here so she can give you a reminder about validating your bonus entries. And mostly because she’s a strangely very strong doll, trying to pry my hands off the keyboard because she hasn’t posted in a long time caer;feorihgv Del! Stop!ad ov[nd

Yo guys! Delaney here. But you get to call me Del ’cause you witnessed my face therefore I deem you cool. Dude, it’s been over a month since I last put Madison in her place.
No, actually, I take that back. I put her in her place once and for all and she’s always stayed there. She dare not slip up again. I just remind her of her lowly place at my feet every time I post on Delightful World of Dolls.
So apparently Madison wanted me to say something about validating your bonus entries for the Create-Your-Own doll giveaway we have going on right now? Is she seriously that lazy she won’t even do it herself?
She probably couldn’t trust herself to deliver such important pieces of information. Allow me to do it justice.
Actually, no. I don’t ask your permission for anything. I do whatever I want and all you’re allowed to do is sit back and watch.
Validating Your Bonus Entries for the AG Create-Your-Own Doll Giveaway:
- Have you pressed “Confirm subscription” in the email you received when you subscribed to either this blog or Madison’s super lame barf-inducing totally-not-worthy-of-even-mentioning personal blog Madi Grace? If you haven’t, your bonus entry doesn’t count. Sorry not sorry. Don’t care. And because I’m not Madison, I will show you no mercy if you didn’t see this or didn’t know. Get with it, man.
- Madison would like me to let you know that she’s not that strict and will let your entries count in case you never saw this, which in that case why am I telling you this if you’re not gonna even see? But you know what, no. No, Madison. You don’t get to intrude on the announcement you were too lame to do yourself.
- Give us the links to where you shared! Sorry not sorry, pal. Saying “I shared this on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat and on my blog and on WordPress and with a friend toooo” ain’t gonna cut it. If you can’t provide the links to exactly where you shared, NO MERCY.
- No, Madison. I’m not letting you tell them that you’ll let it count in case they didn’t know. No, you don’t get to tell them that. This is my intrusion.
Bonus Entry Validation Troubleshooting:
Q: Oh Del, most epic doll among dolls! But I didn’t get a confirmation email when I subscribed!
A: That’s your problem, peasant. Not mine. That’s really just too bad, not that I care.
A.2: Madison would like me to tell you to comment below with the email address you tried to subscribe with and which blogs of hers you tried to subscribe with it with. She’ll send you a subscription email manually, and you can see if you can hit “Confirm subscription” there.
Q: Oh Del of DELightful World of Dolls! But I still didn’t get the confirmation email even when Madison sent it to me her(pitiful)self!
A: Wow. You’re a sorry sight. Get lost.
A.2: Madison would like me to tell you to comment below and let her know that’s not working. Your effort alone will count as a bonus entry.
Q: Oh Del, whose face radiates so much 100% pure epicness so much so I’m nearly blind, WordPress is being mean and having a convulsion or something! It won’t let me click the follow button for DELightful World of Dolls or the totally lame Madi Grace!
A: Good. You shouldn’t be following Madison’s barf-inducing blog in the first place. Sorry ’bout not following here though… not.
A.2: Madison would like me to tell you to try in another browser, another computer, restarting your computer, or another device. If it still doesn’t work, no problem! Your effort alone will count as your bonus entries.
Q: Oh, Del, epitome of epicness! For reasons I cannot explain, some of the bonus entry or even initial mandatory entry things are just. not. working!
A: Sounds to me you’re just trying to look for an excuse not to follow such lame blogs (besides my posts on here, of course). Beat it.
A.2: Madison would like me to tell you no problem at all! If things aren’t working for you, let me know. I have no problems making exceptions if you don’t have social media on which to re-post or the ways to follow aren’t working. Thank you for trying!
So. Now you know how to validate your bonus entries in case you had trouble. Be sure to comment below with any of those things in case you’re in doubt about any of your bonus entry stuff to make sure it counts.
That was an absolutely epic post since I showed up. I brought this entire article to a whole new level. Even after I leave, my radiating awesomeness will remain. Del out.
KICKIN’ BUTT AND TAKIN’ NAMES,
… Ahem. Well.
Madison here again! Before signing off, I just wanted to give a huge thank you to Feedspot for…
This! I received an email from the founder of Feedspot early this morning and nearly about died. You won’t believe how fast my heart was racing and how excited I was!
And thank you to you, too! DWOD would never be where it is if it weren’t for your absolutely amazing self and your encouraging support. I love you! ♥
Oh, and happy Cyber Monday! Be sure to check out this post for a complete list of absolutely superior things to buy super cheaply to take your 18″ doll-loving experience to the next level, and at absolutely no extra cost to you, support the last surviving Christians in Iraq this Christmas. They fled for their lives from ISIS and are living in refugee camps right now. Let’s help make this Christmas the best we can for them!
If you have any doubts about your bonus entries, just comment below and let me know! Be sure you hit “confirm subscription” in the subscription emails if you followed by email, and if you didn’t even receive an email, let me know and I’ll send you one manually. If that doesn’t work, or you have any other problems with your bonus entry or even mandatory entry things at all, just let me know!
It’s not too late to get bonus entries, either! The last day to enter or claim anymore bonus entries is November 30th! The announcement of the winner will be on December 1. As you can see above, I’ve started giving numbers to all the entries to prepare for the drawing of the winner, and I’m so excited!!
Wow, congrats, Madi, on that award! You deserve it!!!! And ahhh I still need to convince my parents to let me enter the giveaway. *makes mental note to do that*
Aww, thanks, Chloe!! AHHH ENTER SOON PLEASE.
Ahh, so excited to see who wins this! *crosses fingers* And CONGRATS on the award! That’s spectacular, Madi!
Ahhh me too!! And aww, thank you so much, Charis!
Uh…………do mine count? I already follow you, and you commented on my post.
Yes, yours all count! 😀
Whew!
Hey Madi, I wanted to ask what Feedspot was? I clicked on the link and looked for yours, and found my blog was the one beneath yours! I’m just not sure what all this is.

Hey Jewel! Feedspot is a place where you can read blogs all on one site, I think. This is the first I’ve heard of it. And I saw!! Your blog totally deserves it, your photography really inspires me. Congratulations!! I think it’s just an award collection on that certain site.
OK Cool! Thanks so much Madi!

You’re welcome!
Ooooh hey it’s me XDDDDDD I sent ya an email, Madi! And hey, Del, Bethany wants to sjbvshvsnbakbsk BETHANYYYYY
AHAHAHAHA HEY DEL WASSUP YA WANNA BE IN MY CLUB ITS FOR DOLLS WHO LOVE TO SCHEME
uhhh ok *runs
TTYL MADI! I HAVE TO GO BEFORE SHE STEALS MY IPADDDDD
Ooh, yay! I’ll reply to it ASAP!
Delaney: Um, sorry. I don’t do clubs. I’m my own, solo, lone wolf of epicness. 😏😏😏
BAD DELANEY. BAD BETHANY. XDD
LOL Ok!
Bethany: OH OK THAT IS PERFECTLY FINE. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS AT HOW EPICALLY YOU ANSWERED ME.
Me: exactly. They are both nuts. 😒😆
Bethany: HOW DARE YOU INSULT DEL’S TOTALLY EPICNESS AND MY SEMIEPICNESS!?!?
Me: cause I’m your mother. And I think Madi agrees with me.
Delaney: *smiles* THAT MADE ME SMILE.
Hah, yes. I definitely agree with you. XDD
XDDDDDDDDD
XDD
I sent you the book Madi!
Bethany: WHO CARES ABOUT THAT YOUR BOOK IS SO NOT EPIC.
Me: THANKS A LOT.
Felicity: I kinda like it.
ME: THANK YOU FOR SEEING TRUTH.
Oh thank you so much!! I can’t wait to read it!
Delaney: NOBODY CARESSS.
😄😄😄 YAY!
Bethany: EXACTLY. EPICNESS IS NOT IT SITTING AROUND. THATS MY MOTTO. AND IF YOU READ YOUR SITTING AROUND. TOTALLY NOT EPIC.
Delaney: True, unless your epicness radiates so much awesomeness that even when you sit down, your epicness flows. Only a certain number of people are that epic, though.
Bethany: Now that’s true. But if you sit down by yourself in a room with only yourself then the world won’t know that you’re epic cause they don’t know where you are.
Felicity: that made zero sense to me…
Raven: SAME.
Me: I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
Delaney: Dude. That literally makes so much sense. YOU’VE JUST ROCKED MY WORLD. You are so epic, Bethany.
Me: *facepalm*
Bethany: THANK YOU. SAME TO YOU. 😌 that was supposed to be a smug smile btw
Me: GET ME OUTTA HEREEEEE
Delaney: DUDE YES there are no smug smiley emojis and that’s the only smug smiley emoji I’ve been able to find?? Like we are so alike. Dude.
Me:
BETHANY: YESSSS TOTALLY.
Me: *grabs iPad SORRY BETHANY BUT I HAVE A BOOK TO WRITE SO SAY BYEBYE!
Bethany: ugggg! Catch ya later Del, my mom wants to write her super lame book now…
Me: ……
Delaney: Ughhh, humans. Catch you later, Bethany!
Me: *facepalm* Have fun writing!!
Thanks!!! I will! 😄😄😄😄

Congratulations on the Top Doll Blog Award, Madison!
~Xyra
Ooh, yes, I’ve got the links! Thank you so much for sharing, and thank you!!
Oops! Wasn’t paying as close attention as I should with the links! This is the link to our blog sharing your Giveaway info: https://teatimewithmelodyq.blogspot.com/2017/11/giveaway-alert-dwod.html
Our Facebook share is a direct link to your post. LOL
Haha, no problem! 😉 😀 Thanks so much again!
I believe that Delaney just volunteered to do dishes and sweep the floor for a whole year, in my opinion. I also want to say that I finished Hang on to Hope and thought that is was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I am totally excited for season four.
*nods* Fabulous. I shall punish her with that!
Aww, thank you SO much! I’m so happy you liked it! <3
Congratulations on your award!! You totally deserve it!!!
Aww, thank you sooo much!! <3
You’re welcome! 😃
I confirmed everything! So I am pretty sure I’m entered! Congratulations on the prize!!!!
Yep, you definitely are! Good luck!
And aww, thank you so much!!
Hi Madi, so I never got any emails for confirming my email subscription for DWOD or Madi Grace so… does your thing show my email in it? If not, do you think you could send the manual ones to me? Also, I did send out an email sharing your giveaway to 40 some people, but I don’t have any link to prove it, although you should have gotten it so I hope that works! Is there any other thing I need to fix? 😉
Thanks so much for helping everyone with this, I am SO excited for Dec. 1st! And a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on getting that award! What number are you in the 100? So excited!!! 😮
Hmm, that’s weird! I just tried sending a manual one, but my system for both DWOD and MG said: “You have already subscribed to this site. Please check your inbox.” Looks like you’re already subscribed, but my system just doesn’t show it manually. But that’s okay! Your bonus entries still count. 😉 And yes, the email thing totally counted, thank you so much!
AHH ME TOO! I can’t wait to see who will win! And awww, thank you! Haha, I only got #77. Jessica from AmericanGirlFan got #9 though!! 😮
*breaths fire because of grating Del annoying-nes*
*deep breath*
*glares*
Del, I feel another epic battle coming up. you have been warned. *melts into shadows like a ninja*
Very epic-ly, ~Olive
Delaney: *laughs* Oh, you’re a fun human being to annoy, Olive. And by the way, you spelled epically wrong. 😏 Think you can win in a battle against me? Bring it on. Come on down.
Of course I spelled it wrong. The day I don’t spell/pronounce anything wrong will be the day the world ends. 😜
And sure I can beat you. easily. 😁
~Olive
(Hey look, I didn’t spell anything wrong! But I will at some point today, I always will.😛)
Delaney: How lame. Go back to school, man.
And ha. Beware of overconfidence. It will be your downfall in battle against me.
–Del
(Ahahaha, I go through days where I misspell a ton of things and then days like today where I’m not making any typos at all. XDD)
Why would I do that? Besides, I’m too cool for school. 😎
*raises eyebrows* looks like you better watch out as well.
Most crazily, ~Olive
(Ah yes. 😂)
Delaney: *furrows eyebrows* Too cool for school… okay, that was a really great comeback. Just… give me a minute to think of something much more awesome to say back.
😂😂😂 I win!
Delaney: You may have won the battle. But you have not won the war!
Ha!
Until next time….*ninja jumps away*
Most crazily, ~Olive
Delaney: *glares*
A HUGE CONGRATS MADI! THAT IS AMAZING!! Also, I have tried to subscribe for both this blog and your other blog by email, but have never received a confirmation email. Could you possibly email them both to me, I am commenting with my email address 😉 Thanks!
AWW THANK YOU SO MUCH HANNAH!!
Okay, looks like you have email subscriptions turned off. This is what it said when I tried sending you manual subscription emails: “The email address has opted out of subscription emails. You can manage your preferences at subscribe.wordpress.com” Do you think you could turn email subscriptions on so you show up in the database?
Sure, I actually didn’t know that I had them turned off. I turned them back on, so hopefully it will work now! Thanks!
Hmm, I still don’t see them; do you think you could un-subscribe and then re-subscribe? I’m so sorry for all the trouble!
OK, sure I already changed my settings, but I will go try again now!
Thank you SO much!
Did it work?
That’s weird, it still doesn’t seem to be showing up. Maybe it will after a few hours or something? But no worries, the entries still totally count, and I’m sorry for all the trouble!
Oh no its fine, I do hope they show up! I love both of your blogs! And I still get them with WordPress! And aw thank you for still letting them count 😉
Aww, thank you so much, Hannah!
IT WORKED!!!! I GOT THE EMAIL AND CONFIRMED!!!!! YAY!
YAY!!! The thing still doesn’t say your email is showing up, but oh well. XDD
Ugh, that’s super weird!
My system is evil. XD
Hehe!
SHEESH Del is brutal!! I sent in my bonus form, I hope that mine as del says “cut it” lol.
HAHA I know!! She’s pretty hardcore. 😉 Yep, all your bonus entries are good! Thanks so much, Analise! Definitely “cut it” 😉
BTW congrats on your blog achievement!!!! That’s SO EXCITING!!!
Aww thank you SO MUCH!! 😀
D
Did you get my comment saying I want to enter? I just wanted to make sure🙂 I just followed Madi Grace😉
Yep, you’re entered! And ooh, bonus entry for ya! Thank you. 😉
Thank you! No problemo 😉
I just told about your giveaway in my most recent post. Does that count as an entry?
It counts for your mandatory entry, but not as a bonus one (unless you already had a link to which you shared for your first mandatory entry, in which case just let me know so that share on Kiki Through the Looking Glass will count as an extra one). However, if someone enters because of you, you get a bonus entry for them.
Oh Ok thank you!😊
I already did my bonus entries!
Way to go! *applauds*
Thanks! Can you check out my giveaway post?
~Kaylyn
Ooh, I just did! I’ll be entering super soon, if not just remind me until I do! 😉
OK! Thank you so much! Great! Should I count you as entered now?
Ooh, sure! I’ll definitely be entering ASAP, I just can’t right this second. XD
OK! I will still count you on the list, but just let me know if you need to drop out.
Sounds awesome! Thanks so much!
You’re welcome! Great!
Oh awesome Del! Your awesomeness is too bright! XD
Delaney: Ah, yes, yes, it is. But don’t worry. You will live. Blindly, but you will live.
XD
Congratulations on the award! You totally deserve it! Also, we followed both blogs with agsparklesistersblog@gmail.com, but have not received a confirmation email.
~Tori, Bella, and the dolls
It says you guys are already subscribed, but that’s off you didn’t receive a confirmation email. Would it be possible for you to search your spam folder and see if it was sent there?
Sure. We will check it out.
I absolutely cannot wait to see who is the winner! I think I’ve gotten all the entries I can get 😉
Thanks for the EPIC giveaway.
Same here!! I think I’m just as excited as the people who entered are. XD Yep, you’re good! 😉
Thanks for BEING epic. 😀
You’re welcome 🙂 And this is the part where I obsess over the heterochromia feature in the CYO maker. If I win I’m TOTALLY using that. Because EPICCCC
Ooh, what’s the heterochromia feature?
It means that you can make each eye a different color!! They don’t have to be the same! XD
… I KNEW THAT. XD Just kidding, I didn’t. XD That is so cool!!
The different colored eyes thing. It’s called heterochromia iridium or bichromia. I have a form of it called Central Heterochromia (CH) where my eyes are green with a brown ring around the pupil. Cool…
OHHH. That is so cool! I have a friend IRL with one blue eye and one brown eye, I didn’t know it was called heterochromia. Ooh, that is so cool! I wonder if I have it… oh wait, no I don’t. XDD
LOL ;P That’s so cool about your friend. I wish I had total heterochromia :]
It’s really pretty. :]
So…uh…when are you gonna post giveaway results?
*slaps hand* DON’T BE IMPATIENT, TESS
XDD I’m almost done getting the post together. XD
😀 😀 😀 do you know who the winner is yet?
Yep, I know who it is. >:)
Oh – and if by some miracle, I win the giveaway, I’ll be out of town this weeked 🙁 So if I don’t see it before I leave, I’ll have to see it on Sunday when I get back. So if God lets me win – hold it for me plz!
Ohh, okay! No problem, I’ll definitely hold it for you if you win.
Congratulations on being a top doll blog! Your blog definitely deserves it! I’m going to do some bonus entries soon.
-Rose
Thank you so much, Rose! That means so much! And YAY for bonus entries!
Congrats on the award! You totally deserve it!
Aww, thank you so much!
Oh, and what happens if the only “social” media you have is a private blog?
No problem with that at all! That totally counts.
Oh Del, the beautiful one who is wearing lipstick for some reason, do I get extra entries for subscribing to DWOD ad MadiGrace with each of my several emails (my personal, blog, project, and doll emails)?
YOU GUYS TOTALLY DESERVED THE TOP 100 AWARD! CONGRAAAAAAAAATS!
And Madi, reply to my email. NOW. Not SOON (as in eight months *smirks* yes, I’ mstill reminding you about that) but NOW. XD XD
~ Light4theLord
https://dollsnall.blogspot.com
Delaney: Will you believe that idiot human Madison put stinking lipstick on me? I’m going to punish her, I promise.
And hm. You have ten entries total so far (woah, good job). When you filled out the bonus entries form, how many emails did you mentioned you subscribed with? You totally get a bonus entry for each separate email per different blog, so just lemme know what extra ones you subscribed with besides what you already mentioned (Madison could check, but she’s lazy, and I have no idea).
–Del
AWW THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
*smirks* I already replied. >:)
Seriously?! That is so ridiculous. How dare she! XD XD
Yay! Let me list them – is it okay for me to do it here? – (I’m just going to give you the general namish of it so that no one has them for real. They should show up soon though.)
1. Our DNA email (on both DWOD and MG)
2. Madi’s email – themuser one (both DWOD and MG) and possibly a WP follow on this one. Right now I’m trying to figure out why my silly computer is changing all the USB files into Arabic (like, WHAT?!?!) and then why WP is being so nasty and not letting me do the email thingy. BUT EVERYTHING SHOULD BE CONFIRMED WITHIN THE HOUR. 😀 So, Del oh the epic one who witnessed Mia the newly made star of the Christmas special in person… uh, in doll… irl! Anyways, Del, you have a computer named after you. XD (I just realized that because this screen is Dell) But seriously, ours should work within the hour. #atleast5moreentries
Delaney: She’s ridiculous. XD
Woah, your bonus entries are sure to skyrocket. I personally hope you win, just because I met you and you’re so nice, and you’re Mia’s human, and Mia is awesome.
And Madison’s computer is named after me too! She has a Dell monitor as well. XD
Awwww, thanks, Del! I hope your hopes don’t hang on nothing. *smirks* #HOTHreference MIA IS AWESOME
Hey, Mia. This is MY WP user. Just ’cause you’re the star of my new photostory series doesn’t mean you get all the new epicness.
Everything revolves around Del, doesn’t it?!
Delaney: Ayyy, I caught that HOTH reference. 😉 HEHE HI MIA. Wait, what? She’s the star of your new photostory series? Oh my gosh, I can’t wait for it!
Of course everything revolves around me. Didn’t you know? The whole world does.
–Del
AND REPLY AGAIN. XD
Oooh, make that a total of six! Subscribed to both blogs with two emails (DNA and Madi’s) and then Madi followed both blogs through WP. *cheers*
Delaney: Woah, you now have fourteen entries total! Madison really liked all the follows. And I hope you win, so extra-good-luck from me.
L4TL You switched to WordPress?? CONGRATS MY FRIEND!
A custom Doll is a great ideal for girls with distinct features. Congratulations on your five year blog anniversary.
Isn’t it great? And thank you so much!
Yay! I love Monday, I have ballet class on Mondays ☺️ I love the posts with Del, she’s hilarious! Congrats on your award!
– Katie 🙂
Ooh, ballet class! Sounds fun ☺️ Hehe, Del says thank you! And thanks so much!
Hey Madi! So I just wanted to validate my entries. I am DEFINITELY going to re-blog this on my collab and personal blog. I also folllowed this blog and your personal blog by email and WordPress. I hope these all count! 🙂
Yep, those all count! Just be sure and comment with the links to wherever you’ve shared and you’ll be good to go with bonus entries!
Oh okay, awesome! Well, you already saw my blog and I just posted it on my collab blog.
Ooh, awesome!!
Do I have a bonus entry? I subscribed to your YouTube channel. I would repost but I don’t have social media on which to repost.
Congratulations on being awarded top 100 doll blog.
Yes, you have a bonus entry! Thank you! And no problem, that’s okay! 😀
Thank you so much!!
Congrats! Also, there’s a problem. I entered, told The Doll’s Mom about it and I subscibed to your YouTube channel, so that’s 3 entries :3
Oh, whoops! You’re absolutely right. You now have three entries. My bad! 😳 Thanks for catching that!
It’s fine! Also, you’re welcome!
I subscribed to your youtube with my second email. Is it too late?
Nope, not too late at all! You get an extra bonus entry!
YAY!
Also, I have a giveaway going on right now, if you wanna check it out! 🙂
Ooh, I’ll enter as soon as I get permission!
Ok!
Hey Madi! Speaking of award nominations, we nominated you for the Blogger Recognition Award! You can check it out on our post this Friday! Be sure to keep an eye out for it!
