Neat Youtube Video

Every now and then, I visit Youtube and check out any videos about dollhouses and miniatures.  So when I found out about this one, I had to pass it on.  I highly recommend this video so please check it out, you'll be very glad you did.

I sincerely welcome my new followers and hope you enjoy this blog.  Remember, if you are having any give-a-ways, please let me know and I will put a link on my sidebar.  I have several more yet to list but will gladly take more.

I haven't done any minis this week because I have two wonderful visitors this week- my daughter and grandson from Illinois.  Although it's been cold here in Florida, we are having a great time.

I hope the new year is going well for all of you.  Mine couldn't be better

Belated Happy New Year!

A day late but wishes to all for a great New Year!

Along with the new year comes new resolutions and like many miniaturists, I have quite a long list.
First, is to get and stay organized.  Sometimes, I get frustrated not being able to find what I want when I want it.  That can really slow things down.  So, I started sorting through my stash, labeling shoeboxes and actually throwing out some things I'll never use.  Almost done.  Just hope it stays that way throughout the year.

Second, is to make up several kits I have had for quite a while.  Wind chimes, rose arbor (just to mention a few.)  These aren't hard or time consuming so they will be done soon.

Third, I have a lot of DIY projects in mind that I have come across and saved from various blogs and websites.  I'll be trimming this list quite a bit as I am no longer going to make many of them.

Last of all. I am working on a small dollhouse that I would like to electrify using LED lights.  I have never done this before, so if anyone out there know of a good tutorial, please let me know.

As promised, here are photos of the last 2 shadow boxes I have put together. The first is for all the other  holidays we have thoughout the year and ths secnd one is summertime fun.














As some of you may have noticed on my sidebar, I am featuring two give-a-ways from other blogs.  Please click on the photo and take a look, they a wonderful.

If anyone knows of any other give-a-ways ( yours or from another site), let me know and I will be glad to add it.

See you in a few days!
