Easter Giveaway Contest!

My first one! I am so psyched that I finally managed to create two adorable minis for my first ever blog giveaway. :) Celebrating reaching 100 followers (+ 9) and to thank everyone for following along since I started this little ole blog about 2 years ago. Your blogs have been such an amazing source of inspiration and creativity, I love following all of your mini escapades as well.

This being my first contest please forgive me if I don't get everything quite right, live and learn I guess. :) So feel free to send me a message if might have screwed something up in the contest rules. I'm always up for help. I'll keep the rules real simple so I can keep all my marbles together. So here they are:

Contest Rules:
1. Leave a comment on this post. Yep, that's it. Just leave a comment on this giveaway announcement post stating that you wish to be entered into this contest, and at the end of the contest I'll print off the comments page, and cut each name with comment into those tiny strips of paper. My girls and I will put them all in a box, and I'll have them do the picking. :) They love that sort of thing!

2. There are 2 minis up for giveaway. Each one is in 1:12 scale. One is an Easter bread prep board. We make these, for real, each Easter, and I <3 making them in miniature. And the other is "Easter Dreams" with a spring checkerboard cake (I was inspired by the new Wilton cake pan I saw in the craft store last week), an Easter basket, eggs, and a bag of jellybeans. The first two names we pluck from the box will win, the first name/comment drawn will receive the "Easter Dreams" mini, the second name/comment drawn will receive the Easter egg bread prep board. Once we have our winners I will post it all on the blog (with pics of the drawing) and the winners can email me their mailing info so we can ship the minis out asap.

3. The contest deadline to leave a comment on this post is two weeks from now, Wednesday, March 20th, at 6 p.m. E.S.T. in the U.S. That way that should give me enough time to ship them out so the winners can receive their pieces in time for Easter. :)

It's that easy. (I think) Did I cover everything? Rules? Deadline? How to win? Send me an email if I forgot an important detail.

And now, for the pics - (click on the photo to supersize).

"Easter Dreams" - this prize will go to the first name drawn from the box.
This mini includes one Easter checkerboard cake topped with yellow and pink roses, seated on a yellow cake stand; one Easter basket filled with Easter eggs, 1 wrapped chocolate bunny and 1 wrapped chocolate egg (see closeup pic below for detail of the chocolate egg and bunny without the wrapping); one slice on checkerboard cake with a scoop of melting chocolate chip ice cream; one plate of colored Easter eggs; and one teeny bag of jellybeans. All items are glued to the wooden circle.



Closeup of the unwrapped chocolate bunny and chocolate egg - bow color and the piping color of the wrapped bunny and egg varies from this one.


Next, for the second name drawn we have the Easter egg bread prep board:
This mini features a mini rolling pin sitting atop a mound of floured dough; one box of flour; one blue bowl filled with dough and raw eggs and a mixing spoon handle; one cracked egg on the board; several colored eggs and regular eggs lying about; and one freshly baked Easter egg bread. All items are glued to the board.



Thanks again for following! Good luck to all contestants! Spread the word, a contest is finally afoot at Micro Munchies! :D

Still Christmas Around Here...

Happy New Year everyone! I'm still working on these ornaments for everyone I had intended to give one to for Christmas. But like everything else...it's taking more time than usual because of the challenges living with lupus. I tackle a little bit everyday when I'm not resting or my hands just won't work. I think if I can get them all done by Valentine's Day... I'll be doing pretty good, ha! :) I can't wait to get these completed so I can start work on my first ever giveaway contest for my lovely followers here on the blog...so stay tuned!

Hope you're all having fun with your minis. Thanks for stopping by to check out mine! Many mini hugs!

Christmas cookies!



A "forest" of decorated trees, one for each ornament scene!
My first go with mini spaghetti. 
And another mini gingerbread house!

A round tin of Italian treats - pizelles! A delicate Italian waffle cookie. 

A pizelle "sandwich" with vanilla ice cream and raspberries.
Mmmm..spaghetti with meatballs! My favorite meal growing up!
Of course, a little loaf of bread in the oven.
Gingerbread people fresh from the "oven."

I love these teeny tiny Christmas lights. Found them 75% off at A.C. Moore at their after Christmas sale. They look soooo real on the miniature trees!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Many mini hugs! :)

Vermont Dollhouse - More Work on the Conservatory Addition

Both additions have been painted and attached, they look marvelous! Real Good Toys is a win win for quality dollhouse materials! Just need to add the shingles and the exteriors are done!
Where in the world we're going to find a table/dollhouse stand to fit this very large house, I have no idea yet, but we'll figure something out. For now, our kitchen table is it. :)
The inside of the Conservatory addition - a.k.a. "music room" without the flooring installed.
A $1.26 block of adhesive backed vinyl tile from Home Depot made a terrific "marble" floor that took a minute to cut and install. Who knew?
The window interiors need framed, and we'll add a guitar, cello, music stand, perhaps a flute and some chairs, and some music infused pictures on the wall, and this room will be complete!

The lovely piano was purchased from Hobby Lobby.
The future dining room on the first floor, and a child's bedroom  on the second floor. We want to select just the right interior design and furniture. Woot Woot! :) We spray painted the ceiling in the dining room white first before installing wallpaper - learned THAT the hard way with the main house!
The main house - still a work in progress, eventually we'll add curtains and pictures on the walls, really personalize it and make it "cozy."
The staircase will be upgraded with posts and a railing.

These rooms definitely cry out for curtains and some floor rugs for warmth.

Lots of creativity waiting to be explored in here. :)

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog!

Candy Shoppe Christmas Stove!

More stoves! More fun! This one for a friend with a sweet tooth! ;)

Click on the pics to enlarge...

I painted the original black wood stove that I got at Hobby Lobby to make it more festive as a Christmas ornament. 
I added a few tomatoes in a basket to the "Italian" stove ornament. ;)
And I added a bread basket to the first stove ornament. 
The candy factory stove. :)





A turkey hidden inside every oven. :) Much as we'd like, we cannot subsist on sweet treats alone. 



Thank you soooo much for stopping by my blog! Have a wonderful day!
