I wish I could go! But I’ll have a newborn next spring and I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to travel. Im definitely looking forward to the pictures, though!

Hi, Everyone! I want to go but it will be my first time and I am a university student so money is a bit tight. Is it worth it going or should I wait another year?
Thank you for your advice!!!

Honestly when I went I didn’t even spend half as much money as I thought. I put money aside for PUDDLE basically all last year and gave myself a $400 allowance, and I left with over $200. For me, it was fun to shop, but it was more fun just hanging out at the table and doing activities and meeting people. Definitely doesn’t have to break the bank or anything. I think if you want to go and meet other collectors, it is well worth the effort.

I think it's worth it. PUDDLE is one of the least e
ensive doll conventions you can go to and you don't have to spend a lot of money if you don't want to. If you're around Friday or Saturday night, there are often collectors selling some of their own stuff for decent prices, too. And most of all, it's great fun to meet the people you've been chatting with online and hang out with people who share your love of Pullips.

Well I'm a little biased since I started the thing, but I have had a number of people tell me it's their favorite thing all year - better than Christmas, a few have said!

Sure you should go
The biggest e
ense is the hotel, and maybe transportation depending on how you're coming. For me that was a crazy amount for just a weekend. But you don't have to spend much at the convention -- I didn't.

And you can even probably find a roommate or two to share hotel costs!

You would have a great time!
I went to my first PUDDLE this past year and I had so much fun. Met some people I knew from this forum and on Flickr and made some great friends.
I spent more than I planned but I budgeted more just in case.
I've registered and booked 2 rooms for next year. This time I'm bringing 4 people along with me, two more than this past year. My daughter, her friends and one of my co-workers.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again!
