kittykatkaren68 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I ordered & received the Spring Fling Workshop kit for the contest! It is my first time entering a miniature contest that is IF I can complete it in time. I have another kit of patio furniture that I purchased many years ago that I believe is by Greenleaf however, I've never put it together. I also have an OLD wood dollhouse that I was given as a gift that was purchased at a yard sale but have no idea what company made the kit and I have been working on remodeling it for some time now. I also have The Heritage Dollhouse kit that is by DuraCraft & I received it as a gift back in 1992 & I am still in the process of building. I do not know a lot about miniatures or the building of them but still love to try. I have no idea who has the best kits or any of that kind of stuff. I guess you can say I am a "newbie" even though I've been buying odd & end miniature stuff for many years now. I definitely would enjoy meeting other people on here. To the best of my knowledge there are not any mini clubs in my area nor are there any miniature/hobby shops ONLY an AC Moore store which has quite the limited supply of goods. I do subscribe to American Miniaturist & love that magazine. I still buy a couple of other miniature magazines from time to time at stores however the American Miniaturist is no longer available in my area so I had to subscribe! I want to wish everyone that enters the contest the best of luck & I look forward to seeing pictures of the entries. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself. :popcorn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittykatkaren68 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks to everyone who has been so nice to welcome me! I am currently working HARD on the Spring Fling project and even though I seriously doubt I will win anything I am enjoying all of this so much! I am so happy to be able to "meet" other people that like miniatures! As far as I know there are no local or nearby clubs to me so I'm basically alone except for the internet in meeting people so I want to say thank you again for making me feel welcome. Now gotta get back to the workshop project!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfieldzoo Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 A couple more posts and you can open an album. If you post a pic of the old house - maybe someone can identify it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granny Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 :welcome: Hi! I got started chatting here because of the Spring Fling contest. I have done many miniature projects, but I never had the nerve to enter something like this. My mini friends in our local club urged me on, but I was so scared. I nearly backed out. Anyway, I hope you enjoy chatting and working with your miniature acquisitions. It took me several years to really get going, but I did alot of dreaming and planning (and reading magazines) before I got started. Hope to chat again!
