sweetdachshundstoo Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hello everyone I came to this site because a pen pal from down under (louloufairy) wanted me to check out the spring contest. I've done miniatures forever, but had gotten away from them. Then the US Navy decided it needed my husband to be in Bahrain last March, and I was suddenly a single parent of two. I spent time crusing ebay and started getting interested in building miniatures again. So I started on a house to be a tea room. Then I began homeschooling my son, and for an art project we decided to build a house to be a bed and breakfast. Then I realized that the house I was build for my tea room, really was better suited to be a school house! So I found The Arthur for a great price and that will become my tea room. The school house will have just a touch of magic in it! I'm a teacher so I have to do something different. It's been over a year since my beloved husband went to play in the sand, and I honestly can say that working on my miniature projects has helped this year pass. I won't say it flew by, but my days were filled with something I could share with my children, or could use to hide from my children! I'd love to hear from any and all who would like a pen pal in Texas. Lou and I have been sharing ideas and that's been great as well. We email pictures and ideas and it helps to have someone to "talk" with. Thanks anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prariegurl Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I LOVE your screen name! What is it about dachshunds and dollhouses anyway? It seems like many people are attracted to both. Just like people seldom suffer from just one form of mental illness maybe LOL? BTW I have three my self. Dachsies, that is. I don't even count the # of dollhouse kits waiting for me. God bless and keep your husband safe while he is away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
