500 followers!!! Giveaway

Last month with Christmas and Hanukka, swaps and giveaways, was one of  my most exciting months.

I received wonderful gifts from talented and generous online friends, won a great giveaway and sent giveaways of my own to two winners.  With all the excitement, frequent trips to the post office, and
working on my minis, I scarcely noticed that the number of my followers was increasing.

At the beginning of this month, I realized that soon I'll be celebrating having 500 followers and  have to do a new giveaway. I feel so blessed and grateful. Never dreamed that my humble blog will attract so many readers. Just imagining that everytime I post  it reaches 500 online friends, is beyond me.

Leaving aside all my pending projects, I started, with much pleasure and fun, making the 1:48" cottage, waiting to see your reactions., which were many and very kind and encouraging. This cottage is my giveaway, expressing my gratitude to you all.  The exterior can be displayed as it is and the interior will be left to the winner to do.  The first floor can be a kitchen/sitting room, the second a bedroom or whatever crosses the winner's mind.

This giveaway is for followers only, old and new.  If you wish to participate please leave a comment on this
post.  Linking it to your blog will be very nice of you but it's not obligatory.  The draw will be on St. Valentine Day, 14 February 2013.  Good luck!






1:48" furniture pieces are very easy to make.  I have already done so before. Here are some examples from my dollhouse in a teabox.  I used popsicle sticks, tongue depressors and toothpicks too make these pieces.



The table, chairs and clock are plastic, a present from a friend. The sideboard made of wood scraps.

Bathroom plastic set from Minikitz online catalogue.


A very warm welcome to my new followers.  Thank you! You are invited to participate in the draw. Good luck!
