Blogger :P - and Give-Away Question....

Screen Capture from Addams Family Values
Property of Paramount Pictures, Copyright 1993

Well blogger has just really been hating me lately. Every time I have gotten on to read through and comment on posts, I have not been able to. I am now on a friends computer (helping them out at work) so I have been able to go back a few days and read through some missed posts.

Also.... you guys will be so proud of me.... I have been mini-ing up a storm! And its not on chairs this time - its actually on the Addams Family Mansion!! You can all pick your jaws up off the floor now - lol.

Here are the things I have done that I need to show you all (this is more a list of reminders for me but also so you can point out if I missed anything in the next week or so:

-I put the columns into the first floor (except for some floorboards and crown molding the first floor is almost done!!)
-I built Gomez's chair to sit next to Morticia's
-I started the built-in shelves needed for Gomez's Study
-I put together the at 3rd floor of the house (contains the kids room)
-I painted and put up a border in Wednesdays and Pugsleys room
-I created a fun spooky attic space in which to stuff a bunch of ooky junk!
-I started building the addition that will hold the dining room and G and M's room!! oh la la

ALSO - I passed 200 followers since my last post so it is definitely time to celebrate with a give-away. But I can't really decide what to give away?

Do you guys have any ideas? I want to make something but I don't know what. My first give away I made a nail bed but I don't know how many of you can use that.... What about a crazy upholstered chair.... I want it to be something my followers would actually want and be able to use. Please leave a comment with suggestions. If I pick your suggestion of what to make I will give you an extra point towards what ever I will do to pick the person who wins!

Love to all, Ara

  4. Hi Ara!

    I was SO happy to see you today! I've missed you!

    I can't wait to see photos of what you've accomplished on the Addams residence!

    Well, you could offer as a giveway something from your Etsy shop, a gift certificate? I see some fab chairs (I'm partial to the Alice ones tee hee)!

    xxoo

  5. Ara, Ooooh you are a tease, putting all that to come and no photos to see, hurry and post more please, cant wait to see all your hard work !!!!!! Maybe do the giveaway and offer the prize as a personalised piece of furniture to suit the winners own project. It means them waiting longer once the name is chosen but that way you get to give them what they really need but in your style and design! Kate xxx

  9. Congrats on 200 followers! I really think anything you make would go over well. If it's related to the Addames, it could be used for Halloween/HP/spooky scenes.

  11. Good job on all your mini-ing! That is so weird about your problems with blogger. You probably have but did you try clearing your cookies and cache? That might fix it.

    I love your chairs, any of them would be an awesome prize.

    I think gift cert is a darn good idea or one of your movable chair! You are such a whiz at making them.
