Over 200 Followers! Give-Away Time!


First of all I want to say thank you to all who follow my blog! I truly appreciate all your encouragement and comments over the past year or so! You all have given this project a whole other level of fun!

To show my appreciation I want to do a give-away. I wish I could give something to each and every one of you but I don't have that kind of dough! So in the usual fashion we will have a drawing for one person to receive something from me!

And I decided to use Kate's idea so she gets her name in the pot one extra time! Here's what the give-away item will be:

1 custom made piece of furniture for whatever miniature project you may be working on.

Because I am making this item specifically for the person who's name is drawn, it will be a wait before you will get it. I am thinking a month would be a good amount of time to say I could get something done.

So here are the RULES to enter the give-away. Leave me a comment telling me about the project you are working on now that you are the MOST excited about. Also put the address of your blog or website in your post so if anyone else wants to see your project they'll know right where to go! *The piece of furniture I make doesn't have to be for the project you mention in the post.... I am just interested in what every one's doing right now.* If you don't have a current project just tell me about an idea you have for the future.....

ALSO..... to say thank you to all the followers who have been with me through the long haul I will be choosing three of my posts (one from the beginning, middle and more recent posts) and if you commented on those posts you will get an extra point per post as well! I will just choose them randomly and only count comments made before this post (so no going back and commenting on everything-lol). Remember you have to comment on this post to be entered... previous comment points will just add on to this first entry.

Let me know if you have any questions... I will do the drawing next Wednesday, September 1st in the evening so be sure to comment! Looking forward to hearing all about everyone's projects!

Thank you all again, Ara

  1. Hi Ara,
    Congratulations on the followers :)
    Currently I am working in a bedroom that hope is going to be finished mid September. A mixture of styles: mediterranean, rustic, scandinavian and shabby...So my style at the end...LOL
    After that I requested to blogland help (and I reeived a lot so it is great) to make a japanese roombox for my niece, that is starting.
    After that I do not know...I love fantasy scences (I have two), a garden shadow box or perhaps I started a English pub....That is what I am doing.
    Love,

  4. I am making a 24th (ish) scale fantasy tree house. It could be for fairies, but it will probably be home to my squirrel Sylvanian Families (Calico Critters in the USA). It's pretty 'rustic' looking, and thus far unfurnished as I am still making the treehouse from scratch. No kits, no previous experience! What fun!

  6. Oh wow! A giveaway! So exciting. I'm working on the Arthur which I will rename, but haven't as yet. It's a lot more feminine than an Arthur!

  10. Congrats on the huge number of followers!
    I am not working on any miniature projects right now. All mini-making was put on hold in January when I became paralyzed from the neck down. I am slowly regaining the use of my legs and both hands again, but it will be a while before I have the fine-motor skills needed for creating miniatures.

    It has been fun watching you create the Addams Family home.

  18. Congratulations on all your followers and thanks for hosting this giveaway! I'm working on my mini house and I'm having the most fun seeing what sort of personality it is going to have. I'm sort of just going with the flow so we'll see how it turns out.

    I'm planning for my next project though a spooky Halloween themed house. I've always wanted to do one and already have lots of accessories collected for it.

  19. Aaaaa, maybe I still have time to sign up for your give-away! Congratulations on great number of followers:))))
    My dollhouse is from the early twentieth century - So I like to imagine that Ms. Anderson, who owns the house, received in a fall after her grandmotherr many valuable pieces of furniture - including a beautiful old chair... Anderson has set a chair in her hobby room - because it is her special place in the house. Ms. Anderson learned that this chair served to Maria Antonina...

  20. Hey Ara! 200 followers...how awesome! And what a great idea for a giveaway.

    I ahve two projects that I ma currently working on, though I don't have pictures on the blog yet. Mmm...probably should do that...

    Tha first is the study of Prof. Meradoch Emerson Pimm's...archeologist and adventurer!

    The second is Medieval ruins that I intend for a friend who writes fantasy novels and short stories. I want to include as many things from his stories in the setting as possible and only recently got the idea for the setting when he wrote "Ruins of Camelot".

    I would LOVE to have something made especially by you for the Professor!
