Lylinightshade Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hello all! I have been in love with miniatures since I was a small child. I received my first dollhouse in the form of a Greenleaf Chantilly house kit when I was a young child in the mid-90's. I am 24 now and have pulled my old friend out of the shadows and cobwebs of storage where it has been for the past 10 years. It was my first and only dollhouse and I have great ideas to remodel it and do all of the fine details like moulding and electrical work that i was unable to do as a child. I found this forum and decided to join to share my adventures with other enthusiasts. I believe that miniatures are in no way only intended as playthings for small children, but can be a lifetime hobby for all who have the imagination. I am extremely crafty and good with a low budget. I am working on getting a Visual Arts degree and hope this project will help keep my sanity intact between hitting the books! I can't wait to get started on this HUGE project even if it takes me the next 5 years. I want to take lots of pictures, hear what everyone thinks, and even hopefully give my own advice. So nice meeting you all and I look forward to any and all adventures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
