Giveaway Winners!!!!

Yes, that's right... I said winners... plural.

I got such good advice that I decided to give 2 of these kits away.

I couldn't figure out how to put the Random.org generator on this post... so you'll just have to trust that I did this randomly, and with ALL fairness.

I deleted the first comment, by Sonya (because she later commented with advice) so Daisy Carpi was the first official post.

I used Random.org's generator, spanning from 1-29 and got the numbers: 24 and 10

So...... That means that Patty and Chris P. Win!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winners, please email your addresses to skelb (at) hotmail (dot) com so that I can send your gifties out to you!

If you didn't win, don't worry, I'll be having another giveaway soon!

MY FIRST GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

UPDATE: Please be aware that this giveaway is of an UNFINISHED roadside stand kit... not of the roadside stand that is completed in the pictures.

Okay... I know, I know... I haven't posted in a LONG time. To be truthful, I just got sidetracked by a million different little things.... I know you've NEVER done that ;)

Not much is going on. School just started and I'm already overwhelmed with homework. I have also, recently, taken up painting. As in... canvas, landscape painting. I won't bore you with my crummy first couple paintings, but I'm starting to like my new ones more and more... I'll post pics soon.

As promised (FOREVER ago), I am having my first giveaway. Now, it's not a huge deal like other giveaways are... but still a free prize all the same!

What I'm giving away is an unfinished roadside stand. This piece needs to be put together, but I don't want to do it for you, because I want you to do with it what you please.

An example of what I did with one of them is this:








Now, I didn't finish the wood (obviously)... but I think it turned out pretty good. So the possibilities are endless with this one.

Okay, the Giveaways Rules:

1. You must be a follower
2. The other rule is kinda strange... I want everyone to give me 1 piece of advice for life. Please please try to give me ones that haven't been mentioned yet.

There are no other rules! Though if you want to repost this on your blogs, that would be fine :)
This giveaway will be open until February 14th. I know that seems like a long time, but I want everyone to get a chance to enter... and also I want more pieces of advice!

So this is it... your chance to chime in and give your 2 cents.
Good Luck!!!!

My Surprise Win!

I've been busy with projects.... mini and not mini... but I wanted to share this post as a DEEP heartfelt thank you again to Kathi of Beautiful Mini Blessings.

I was so very very blessed to win this precious little garden and all of the little accessories.

So thanks again, Kathi... your mini blessings have brought me many blessings.

I'll be updating on life and other things soon... plus my first giveaway is coming up so stay tuned!

Hugs,
Savannah

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
