Wow! So much going on, so I thought I would celebrate with you all. :)
May 8th of last year was my very first blog post and my very first dipping of the toe into blogland.
I have learned so much in this past year. I knew nothing about blogging and I'm still learning.
I never realised the people I would encounter, the friendships I would begin forming and the vast amount of things I have learned in the mini world. So much is out there that I never even dreamed of. I enjoy reading all of the blogs that take you along mini adventures in the miniature world.
So, nearing the first anniversary of my blog and seeing that I now have over two hundred followers, I thought I would do a special give away. This one is to be a surprise, something specifically created for the winner.
I will draw this on Mother's day which will be May 9th, so you have plenty of time to sign up. Just comment on this post between now and then to have a chance to win. :)
Now, to Welcome my latest new followers, they are;

Thank you all, for following my blog. :)
So, I learned the other day though Casey, of Casey's Miniatures that tuquoise is the new color. You can read about it here. Funny, that I was working on the project above, it's the *in* color! If you've never been to Casey's blog, do check it out. She is very funny and is most generous with tutorials and helpful advice.
We must be on similar wave lengths, since when she had posted a tutorial on hat making, I had just made a hat for a swap. And, now the turquoise link. ;)
The Ikea inspired table was made by Yuki of Amatheria. The acrylic turning was made by Bertie of Bertie's Miniatures.The screen, pillows and rug/floor cloth will be heading into my etsy shop soon.
Currently, I'm working on Christmas items. I know, I know! What am I thinking? lol, but, I saw something that caught my eye and it just had to be brought to fruition. :)
As always, all the pink words are clickable so clickaway and don't forget to leave a comment if you want to be entered in the giveaway. Gotta run, I hear life calling me. ;)
***This post has been edited. I inadvertantly credited the wrong artist of the turning. It has now been updated to reflect the correct artist. My deepest apologies for my very embarrassing error! :( ***
Well done Dale!! Carolx

Congrats on the followers and Happy Blog Anniversary Dale! I love the new turquoise items! I love that turquoise is the "in" color this year because it's my favorite color for clothes and that means there will hopefully be a lot of choices this year :) I'm so curious to know what you are working on for Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteWell I have been a turquoise fan like forever! Congrats with 200 which has turned into 204.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway Dale!
Congratulations :-)
ReplyDeleteBlogging is fun...I have met so many wonderful people in here.
I love the screen...would look fab in my life sized Indian room :-)
Not sure how I feel about the turquoise... I personally love the color and have a lot of things in my house in that color but when I heard it was color of the year a while back it kind of put me off.
Hope everyone doesn't go mad on it now...I hate to be trendy lol. But then again by the time my new house is sorted and all the nice things are unpacked we'll be onto next years color :-)
Congrats on your milestone! I am still trying desperately to keep up with my blog with everything going on! Got to host a giveaway myself soon! And I'm so happy to be among the friends you've gained!
ReplyDeleteJody

ReplyDeleteI've just found your blog through Jody's blog and what a wonderful stuff you have made!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the turqoise but in IRL I'm so color-shy that I can't use it at home. But been thinking of doing a coral-turqoise room box at some point. And the vase is fabulous.
Although I'm a new follower, I would love to enter to your give away, if it's ok with you :)

I don't know how I missed this post. Congratulations on making over 200 followers. It is funny because I am doing the same thing for also reaching over 200 followers. And I also am having my draw for a giveaway on Mothers Day. Great minds think alike. I read about this on face book and was surprised that I had missed it first time around.
