Miniature Xmas Trees
One of the girls from the Dolls House Emporium Forum has given us a link to some mini christmas trees that would look perfect outside (or inside!) a dolls house. Apparently they look the same as some that have been at recent miniature fairs, with a little bit of ribbon decoration ect and are selling for £5 each!!! Have to ask Kev if he'll pop into Asda for me!!

Happy dance.....(well hop actually!!!!)
Having the best mini day ever!!! (well its probably one of my first ones, ha ha!) first thing this morning two of my ebay miniature purchases arrived, Im really pleased with both bits and they are perfect for altering!
When mum came over at lunchtime she told me that last night at club, Sharon had given her a little present for me - Sharon's just returned home from a holiday in the US. Sharon had bought me some lovely mirrors. - Big thankyou hun, they are lovely!
Then mum suddenly remembers to tell me that there's a dolls house in a cupboard in her back bedroom that's been there for years, which was full of dolls house furniture, and did I want it? She got it from an elderly lady years ago who used to collect but had to go into a residential home and didn't have room for it an longer. Mum had been saving it for a grand-daughter.....(!)
So off Mum goes and returns with two shopping bags (gulp!) full of fab stash!!!! It was christmas morning with the two of us going through the bags and the two biscuit tins that were inside.
Now the majority of it isn't perfect quality, however once I have a chance to paint and refurb, hopefully Ill be able to use most of it in one project or another!
I am chuffed to bits, and if I didn't have a broken ankle I defiantly would be doing a happy dance! however I'm content to sit on the sofa and hand jive at the moment!!!!
Love the little leather biking jacket! really appropriate as Im a biker b!tch!!! ha ha!! And notice the ginormous sweet corn - I think they would be about 18" in size if they were to scale!!!
Now heres the weird bit.....there was a number of china dolls house dolls in the bag, however a few of them didnt have heads, arms or legs.............We have no idea what happened to the missing apendages.......But Ive kept them in case I do a horror house later! ha ha!!! waste not want not!!!!

Hi & tonights kit!
Big thanks to Jannene and Mum for a sterling job running the club tonight. Sorry to hear about the heating, Ill try and find out whats happening before next club night, and let you know.
Here's as promised is the photo of the finished layout. It's based on a beautiful design by Amanda Muirhead of the Prima Design Team, which uses the same prima papers etc. The flowers are chalked to co-ordinate with the papers. The title is from cricut cartridge 'Home Decor'. If you don't have this cartridge, then Sharon is taking orders and will cut out the title for you on black cardstock for just 20p! a bargain!
Detail of chalked flowers
Hope you enjoyed the evening, and hopefully Ill be back on my feet before the heritage night!

This weeks kit - what you need......
Ive made a single page layout, but with some jiggling theres plenty there for a double page layout. For those that are doing this weeks club kit you need the following:-
one 4x6" landscape photo
Chalks - I used a soft peachy rose colour and a bit of burgandy (but not much!)
Needle and embroidery floss - I used a soft light peach, but a cream or rose colour would be fine
Pokey tool (paper piercing tool!) and foam mat or mouse mat
Pencil
Ill post a photo of the completed layout next week! enjoy club on Monday and dont forget to put your name down for the Christmas Party!
