Seeking Comments for Next Giveaway

Kitchen Not The Giveaway.

Still testing my ability to move around with new technology.  If you see this post please leave a comment to let me know.  As soon as I get 15 comments I will post the next giveaway and your comment will count towards the next giveaway.  Thanks. 

This cutie kitchen was taken from my Lundby house and I am testing it to see how it looks in my Emerson house.  It is the only picture I have available to use for this test. 

Thank you for following my Blog and for your comments.

That beautiful Christmas Give Away was shown for a long time. The winner, Mari, has claimed the dress and it is on the mail rail to Spain.  Thank you Mari for your comment and support. 

The next Give Away will be announced as soon as I learn how to find my way around the new stuff associated with my new electronic contraptions.  I pray that my computer never goes out again at year's end.

Thank you for following and thank you for your comments.  Blessings to all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! December Winner Announced!

Hello dear Blog friends.  I hope everyone had a great year and looking forward to this New Year.  The past year ended too quickly for me.  But, now it is time to start the Happy New Year with new projects.  The creativity will flow and we will all be amazed at what the new year has in store for all of us.  Looking forward to seeing your projects.

My computer died last week and I got a new one.  The bad part is that I cannot access my address book or pictures from the old computer yet.  I'm learning what to do in the meantime.  Please bear with me.

Take Time To Rest!

Hello!  Hello!  Hello!  Like many of you I am wondering why time moves so very quickly.  We celebrated my Grandson's fifth birthday!  Two glorious days at LEGOLAND was where he chose to celebrate.  Seems like he hasn't been on earth for five glorious years. And now he is old enough to sit in my workshop and pretend to be me.

Yes, I know I am also moving slower since my 65th birthday a few months ago. Most times I am retracing my steps to find something that was never lost.  Or, repeating a conversation that was already told.  "Did I tell you this already?" takes up more time than you can imagine.  LOL.

Halloween is celebrated today by many, but my house will be dark to deter the trick or treaters.  Tomorrow is the beginning of National Diabetes Month and as a diabetic, I decided this year not to eat leftover snicker bars, baby ruths, chocolate bars, suckers.....They are all soooo delicious especially the sweet ones below.  Just one of my weaknesses.

Love these!

October is Breast Cancer month, therefore I took time to talk to survivers like me and the newly diagnosed. I wrote letters for "Girls Love Mail" for encouragement.  Please take a look at the website www.girlslovemail.com if you want to hand write encouraging letters too.  As a 14 year survivor, ladies I ask that you please take time to do your self exams and schedule your mammograms when due.

In my spare time I experimented with minis to create some new designs, organized my workshop,  purchased new fabric and caught up on some blog reading. I also took some time to rest. 

Minis I've created.

 "Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." Genesis 2:3 NIV

Thank you for stopping by to read this post without a give-a-way in progress.  Thank you for following.

Hugs, Love, Kisses and Prayers to all!

Winners for August!

Yippie ki-yay! I finally found a way to announce the winners.  Thank you for patiently waiting.

 Congratulations to our two winners!

 It has been a struggle for me to go through the motions to collect pictures, grandson (Mark J) and all other things that happen when grief is present.  I'm still making minis to help me through this time in my life and will continue my give a ways. 

Friends, thank you so much for all of your encouraging comments.  Printing them and reading them during my "low" days really helped a lot.  Thank you to all new followers.

 Do you know that grief can stop a peron in their tracks for a long time and sometimes forever? I almost forgot how to blog!

 Trusting in God is a great source of help, but when your heart is bleeding don't be afraid to ask for more help because pain can be gruesome... Don't ever feel like you have to go through it alone, even if you have to call on me.  I'm here for you.

Summer is passing quickly like never before.  My inspirational grandson, Mark J got a passport and took off to Cabo San Lucas for vacation after summer school and didn't pull the winner's comments from the "lucky hat" until a fews days ago and afterwards he had to have a picture wearing the hat.

Winning comment #1 for dress on left side of photo from Isabel (morgana135):

Winning comment #2 for dress on right side of photo from Malu:

Besos de las Malu´s.

My translator is not working at the moment, but if one of these comments belong to you, please contact me privately with mailing information.

Lots of Hugs to All!

Hello!  Thank you very much for your encouraging comments.  Winners of the last giveaway will be announced in the next few days.  Sorry for the delay.

A Give Away Is Here! Thank You For Your Patience During My Time Of Grief!

"knotty" Ends August 7, 2014
Cute purse matches dress.

My dear friends, another Give Away is here.  Thank you for your patience, prayers and love during my time of grief and my absence from Blogging.  The sudden death of my sister went straight to my heart and paralyzed me with grief.  

My last post I shared with you the sudden death of my husband's brother. A month later my dear sister "Sis" didn't wake up in the morning.  She was excited and looking forward to receiving her copy of American Miniaturist magazine's June Issue to see what I had made.  She went to Heaven the day I mailed her the magazine. 

The first picture at top of page was taken from June 2014 issue of American Miniaturist Magazine.  It is a great magazine and has a great Editor, Auralea Krieger, who does a wonderful job!  Thank you Auralea.  The magazine has talented artists and lots of projects for you to enjoy.

Dresses above are just lovely.  Picture taken before sending dresses to the magazine.

The next give away is to offer one of my 302 followers a chance to win a dress because I feel honored to have you following my blog. 

"Hearts To You" Give Away August 7, 2014

To enter to win one of these lovely dresses, all you have to do is be a follower of my blog, leave an inspirational comment on this post only by the deadline of August 7, 2014 before 3:00PM Pacific Daylight Savings Time.  The lucky winner's comment will be drawn from my lucky hat and will be posted the following week.  Good Luck!

As always, welcome new followers and to all my followers my heart is always open and I love to hear from you by e-mail and comments for sure! 

I love giving and your comments encourage me to cheerfully give what is in my heart and this means also that if you have nothing in your heart to give, that is ok too.
  
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."  2 Corinthians 9:7 NIV
I am a cheerful giver!

Hugs and love to all,
Felma

Dollhouse Miniatures by Felma

Lots of "things" have happened in my life since I last blogged.  April started off with a bang of a birthday celebration and I celebrated for 2 to 3 weeks. 

 The rest of the month was filled grief for my husband because of the sudden death of his brother.  We traveled about 3700 miles by car to be with family and friends and pay our last respects. 

Hope all mothers out there had a Happy Mother's Day.  I had one the best I've ever had with family.

All the pictures on this page are miniatures I made during my absence from blogging.  There are more.  Some are sold.  Some may be shown in American Miniaturist June issue.

Thank you for following.  The next give aways will be soon.  I really need to catch up on my rest.  

Welcome to all new followers! 

Hugs,
Felma
