Reflection...

In 12 days, I'll be 25... I'm not sure how I feel about that. As I count down to yet another birthday, I'm surrounded by the "where am I going?", "what am I doing?", "WHO AM I???" feelings of it all. Sometimes I feel like I'll never know those answers. Most of you who are older than me will say, "oh, you're still young, you have plenty of time left to figure all that out..." And while that may be true... it also may not be... I mean, how many of us know EXACTLY how much time we have left on this planet?

This very question got me thinking..... I have NO CLUE what I'm doing on this earth... but it's obvious to me that God isn't finished with me yet, otherwise I wouldn't still be here.

So I've decided that I CAN and WILL succeed at doing whatever it is that God wants me to do. Maybe I'm not the BEST mini maker... maybe I WON'T be a millionaire one day... but I'm me... and that's all I can be.

So, "HELLO 25 years, nice to meet ya... lets go for a ride!" :)

Creativity: Fail.

Okay, so I'm in a dry spell... I can't think of ANY new ideas for minis. I'm frazzled. So I am making a plea...

If ANY of you have any old dollhouse magazines that you don't need/want... send em my way! I don't even care if there are pages cut/missing! I just need some new ideas/outlooks. I have looked at the AIM online but I can't print anything, and I can't take it with me LOL.

All of your blogs are great inspiration, but I need to do something that makes ME say... "wow... I can do that!" I know that might sound weird, but if you've ever been in a creative slump, one thing you DON'T want is something nearly impossible to do.... that just makes things worse.

For those of you who are able to throw me some mags, I will send you some sort of miniature compensation, ie. miniature stuff, supplies, etc. I'm just looking for my spark again.

Leave me a comment here (as my email isn't cooperating) and I'll privately send my address to you.

Mini Huggles,

Savannah :)

Needing help!!!

Hi all :)

I'm looking for a certain miniature magazine... Dolls House and Miniature Scene Magazine (UK). I'm not sure which issue it is, but it is the one that features Michelle K.'s Tropical Drink Tutorial. If ANYONE can find me a copy and send it to me, I would gladly pay for it and your time... I just REALLY wanted this certain issue.

Please let me know!

Thanks in advance,

Savannah

Still Alive

Okay, I know, I know.... 3 months since my last post... (Not that I wrote that often anyways).

Brief summary of the last 90 days....

Thanksgiving - ate way too much
Christmas - snowed WAY too much... got stuck in someone's yard Christmas day, had to have my dad pick us up for the family get together.
New Years Eve - Made resolution to lose weight starting with January 1st, 2010.
New Years Day - Gave up resolution when tempted with chocolate (te he he)

Tim and I decided to start trying to have a baby in November... but once January rolled around, I had a deep personal revelation: I'm not physically ready for that!

So we decided to hold off on trying to conceive and instead, decided to focus on losing the weight we so desperately need to lose.

We started counting calories on January 18th and as of Monday (Feb. 1st) I have lost 11.4 pounds and Tim has lost 6.8 pounds!!!!!!!

In between all of that, school has started back up, and I'm enjoying my classes.... For those of you (like me) that DON'T believe in coincidence, I realized that I signed up for 3 different Health/Nutrition classes. Funny, yes?

Other than that, I'm trying to make more minis and trying not to be EXTREMELY jealous at all of you that are more talented than me at the mini-making. (Also trying not to drool, LOL)

Anyways, just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm still alive, and I still read all of your blogs, almost daily.

Pictures of the new minis coming soon!
