It's Here.....!

It is official! I have been doing this every day for three years, as of today. This is post #1,252. And you still seem to be coming back for more! It's amazing!

OK. Down to business. Since it has been three years, Tessie took over and decided that there should be a drawing with a gift for each of the three years. Here's what she came up with. I didn't argue. We all know how that turns out....

It's starting today, and running through the end of the month, 12 midnight. The three winners will be announced on March first.

Rules...1. You must be on my list of followers of the blog when you place the comment. #2. You have to make a comment on this particular entry. This is the only place that you can comment for it to count. #3. This isn't an official rule, but Tessie insists that I put it in. You must be a Tessie fan! Sorry. She made me type that....

The prizes will be custom made for each winner. You can have a choice of either a chair or a bassinet. You will have a choice of natural or white wicker. I will have lots of fabrics to choose from for whichever piece you choose. There may be a couple of extra small surprises to go with the piece that you choose.

Now go ignore me for a bit. I need to paint the walls of the weaver's room and start drilling holes for new wicker pieces.

See you tomorrow.

I also am a big fan of Tessie! I enjoy the things she does. She can come visit my dollhouse any time. Of course I would love to win the chair or bassinet. I prefer the bassinet.

    Congratulations Casey, I don't know how you do it, but what would life be without Tessie, because of the time difference I tend to read your posts in the morning with my first cup of coffee, so I start my day with Tessie so that must make me a fan. Psst, don't tell her, her head might just grow a bit bigger. Love your giveaways, whoever wins are sure going to be spoiled, hope I am one.

    I wonder how you have managed for 3 years to make so many miniatures and write your posts at the same time, it's incredible! You're wonderful and so talented.
    Tessie should be happy with all your work and should sometimes be less demanding. Tessie is a woman with character...

    Congratulations on your three years of blogging, Casey. I am not officially entered as a follower. But even if I were, I would not want to participate because I don't have a blog and, therefore, have not shared anything with anyone. It would not be fair. But, I want to say that you are one giving lady. Your gifts are out of this world, super gorgeous. And, you are so very generous with your tutorials. You hold nothing back from us. You just give and give. I've learned so much from you and I admire you tremendously.

    I'd LOVE one of the bassinets for my dollhouse that's in the planning stages . . . it would be BEAUTIFUL in there period-wise. So Tessie, pick ME, please?

    Congratulations, you two! When I discovered your blog, I went back to the beginning and read every post - it's an inspiring course in miniaturology. But now you have infected me with miniaturopathy and I have a hopeless addiction. If you ever stop blogging, I'll have to check into a clinic or something. Casey, you are delightful (if a little dis-integrated), and Tessie, you are charming (if a little self-absorbed) and together you make a great team!

    Hi Casey,
    I just signed up as a follower. I have only followed one other blog and my husband signed me up for it. This time I did it myself. =)
    I am so in love with miniatures and your site truly encourages that love. You give such great information and Tessie makes it so much fun! I have been collecting "trash" to use for making minis, but I haven't been brave enough to start anything yet. I have an unbuilt house waiting for me and I hope someday soon I will have a friend like Tessie to live in it. I'm sure if Tessie lived here, she would be sure it got done!! =) Thank you for all the time and effort you put into the blog and keep it coming. I need it.
    Blessings, Theresa

    It's about time that Tessie came to visit me in England, and you can come too, of course! I wonder what she'd make of Queen Mary's dolls' house at Windsor? Have you seen it, Casey? You'd never get her out!

    Tessie dear, I announce that I am a follower of the blog, but in particular, I'm a fan of yours! I want to be mini to play with you, your days are always so interesting! :))
    difficult choice that forces us to do!!
    if I were to win, I can only say that I prefer the natural color.
    is the chair, that the cradle would be a real treasure in my hut, but let's see what gives us the chance.
    congratulations for the third year of the blog, and a kiss! I put the link on my blog!
    Caterina

    PS: it would be possible to put the translator on this blog?
    Since your posts are always long for me would be more comfortable reading in Italian. thanks!

    Caterina, I am still trying to get the translator to work for me on other posts. I have to go to bing translator. My google translator no longer works on this new computer. I am not sure what is wrong.

    The other problem is, I don't know how to install one. Sorry. I will work on it though.
