Going on a little trip...

Well, I might need to pack the larger bags and not the mini ones. ;)

I'm going to Singapore to visit with Sans!

How cool, is that?!

I'm also going to get to meet Cindy, aka Snowfern.

And hopefully, I'll get to meet up with Jocelyn, Pei Li, and Asuka.

I've dubbed them the Singapore girls. All are members of TeamMIDS on Etsy. With the exception of Sans, who Cindy and I are trying to have join us as a collector member. Yes, you don't have to sell miniatures to belong to our team. :)

Needless to say, I am thrilled and excited beyond belief and am ever so grateful for Sans' enormous generosity. Thank you so much, Sans!

Sans and Cindy will be my tour guides and are going to immerse me in the Singapore culture. There is so much to see and do there. It's going to be a fabulous trip. :)

The luggage in the above picture is made by Whimsy Cottage Minis, one of my dearest friends. :) The hutch and carpet can be found in my etsy shop.

I used to think I'd have nothing to blog about. Now, I have so much to blog about and not enough time to do it all. I guess, that's why my blog posts tend to be on the long side. Oh, well! ;)

Some recent work for Ray of Minibuilder for one of his clients.

This is the inspiration photograph.

And, this is the finished result.

I was so excited to win Tallulah Belle's giveaway.

I cannot commend Jayne near enough for how she did this giveaway. Such a novel idea, with a big impact for others.

Isn't this just the sweetest thing ever? I love it!
And, it is so tiny! As it always is with minis, they are always so much better in person, than the picture. I thought this would be like water pitcher size, but, it's more like creamer pitcher size. Tiny! :)
Thank you so much, Jayne!
Thank you for making a difference in other people's lives. :)

Until next time, my blogging friends... :)

More Screens and visit Tallulah Belle!

Does this screen look familiar? lol

I was inspired to make another, as the first one I made, I didn't even get it listed in my etsy shop and it was sold. That was a nice feeling and it's recipient seems quite pleased with it. :)

At Sans's suggestion, I went back to the store and looked for this same pattern in different colors.

This one is sage green.

This one is a chocolate brown.

They are all available in my etsy shop, click here.

You simply must stop by Tallulah Belle's blog, (click here or) if you hit on the title of this blog entry, it will take you directly to her blog. She is doing a giveaway with meaning. I strongly encourage you to participate in this. I will be taking a cue from her the next time I do a give away as I find this to be truly inspirational.

I hope your week is off to a good start! :)
