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.

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.
Congrats Casey--I think you are amazing! Seems I struggle to get a post up a week! Of course, I adore Tessie- but we all know it's you that does the real work around this blog :) I don't always comment, but I always read every post and I have learned so much from you since I started blogging- so a big huge thank you from me! I hope you continue to blog for many more years♥
Oh yes please count me in and yes I am a big fan of Tessie. Who isn't. This blog is the first thing I go to read as I start up my Ipad.

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...
Thank you for offering such a great giveaway.
Geneviève
Congratulations on your Blogiversary!
I've been following you for a while on google reader but just became a follower today as I would love a chance to own one of those beautiful pieces.
I'm definitely a Tessie fan too but I'm not sure about the wisdom of letting her see just how many fans she has, will it go to her head! ;)
Tessies adventures make me smile every day. Keep up the bossiness Tessie ;o)
What a great giveaway! I am a follower and love Tessie! Please include me in your three years of blogging giveaway!!
Im a big Tessie fan, in fact I'm the president of her midwestern fan club.
We are all great fans of Tessie here in Pahtarova troll forest, and we want to congratulate you Casey for the three blogyears! And of course I'd love to take part of your giveaway :)
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.
Wow! three years! and delightful posts. Your giveaway is just great.
Happy Birthday Casey's Blog! I've been a follower since day #1 and my day isn't complete without reading some great mini hint or tip or reading about what Tessie is up to now. Of course I'm a fan of Tessie, I sent her her OWN sewing kit and garden flags, didn't I?
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 on your Third Year blogging Casey. I really enjoy your blog and life just wouldn't be as much fun without my daily read of Tessie's antics.. xxxx
Please count me in and tell Tessie I'm voting.
Of course I'm a Tessie fan. She reminds me of me. Only a bit shorter. Hmm... maybe I can team up with her and zap some minis over here...
Congratulations on your third-year
anniversary!What an accomplishment!
I have followed your blog for some
months now (since I found it) and
today I became a Follower. I have
put a face to the name.
As I mentioned in a previous comment,your blog is amusing,entertaining,
and I've been learning a lot.I
recently started a basket and a
shawl from your instructions.Not
finished yet, but as you say, it
get's finished eventually.
Of course I'm a BIG FAN of Tessie!
She has more adventures than any
"small" person I know.
Count me in on your generous
Giveaway.
Phyllisa
Wow! 3 years, everyday. That is real commitment and a gift beyond your giveaways (although I would love a chair. :-D)
Tell Tessie that I am such a fan that I went back and read every post one weekend just so I could see when she began starring!
I follow, I comment, I love Tessie! Most of all, I LOVE you and your blog!!!!!
Oh, and I vote too!
Congratulations on three wonderful years! Have a cupcake for me, okay? :D
Congratulations on your blog anniversary, Casey, and to your commitment to the daily blogging. I'm definitely a fan of Tessie's (Tessie are you reading this?). Believe that I've read ALMOST every post. Missed a few by getting sidestracked by the awesome tutorials. Thanks, Casey, looking forward to more!!!!
Congratulations on three years of continualy blogging - pretty impressive for a six year old :)
I think we all started coming to see your amazing work and to benefit from your generous sharing of tips and tutorials. While that's still the case, I expect most of us are thinking, "I wonder what Tessie's up to today?", as we turn on our computers. Looking forward to the next three years!
Love you both, Casey and Tessie! And I'm impressed with how dedicated you both are to this blog. I look forward to it every day.
every day? wow, i'm impressed!
your blog (tessie's blog?) is so fun and i just love the weaving, especially the pod chair.
yay, here's to 3 more years!
How could anyone not be a fan or Tessie? Congratulations on three great years! I look forward to your post every afternoon. Thanks for brightening my day!
Thanks for brightening my day. Of course, I love Tessie too.
Congratulations on your third year of blogging, Casey! Your giveaway is very generous. I guess I don't qualify because I don't have a blog, but I like congratulating and seeing who wins anyway. It's always fun to see! =) You know how much I love your blog, and your willingness to always offer great tutorials and priceless advice.
Good luck to everyone!
Congratulations on reaching this mark. I came across the blog looking for tutorials and got hooked. I love your work and I love all the things that happen because of Tessie. She is absolutely funny.
Congratulations on three great years. Of course, you couldn't have done it without Tessie! You bring a smile to my face every day.
Mary Ann
"I am a Tessie fan." There is requirement number three out of the way. As for number 1. I think I have been following you and Tessie for close to 2 of those 3 years. And number 2, I love, love love, the chair and the bassinet. I would be delighted with either.
I love your blog. Keep it going for many more years.
Susan
Happy Blogday Tessie (and Casey). Who wouldn't be a fan? The day is incomplete without reading what Casey gets up to that poor Tessie has to put up with. B from far over the sea XX

Congratulations Casey and Tessie (actually I am writing this to Tessie, since I am a great fan of her, but won´t hurt Caseys feelings og course). Tessie is one of the witches I know most likely not to loose her tempers, and Casey are the one most likely to understand that, luckily. I really admire that relationship.
Thanks for being here!
Love, Susanne
ohh, I got carried away, I would like the chair and in natural, if I should win ;-)
Tessie Rules! I think I've seen that somewhere. I love your blog..it was the first one I followed. Please enter me in your giveaway.

Ohhh I would love a wicker chair! And I'm a huge fan of Tessie, too! I've learned so much from your blog, and can hardly wait for you to put in a post, LOL.
In fact, you are the only blogger I read.:) You certainly know how to keep a reader's interest!
Almost forgot...I love the natural stuff, so should I win, I would like a natural chair please!
CONGRATULATIONS, Casey, (and Tessie)! You make a lot of people smile!

Happy third anniversary! I look forward to your posts every day. You're very kind to have a giveaway, thank you!
Congratulations of three years worth of daily blogging. (We all know you couldn't have managed it without Tessie's help!) I would love the chance to win one of your lovely minis.
TESSIE! TESSIE! TESSIE! I'm your biggest fan! Love ya! I look forward to reading about you everyday!
Count me in! Congrats on three straight years of blogging! :-)
Does sending Tessie presents prove I'm a "Tessie fan?" I sure hope so.
So great to see you've made it three years. Just don't ever delete you tips because I refer back. TRYING to send this again but it's been awhile and Tessie might need to help me.
Pat
The years have flown and I appreciate all of your helpful hints. I lost my last message so we'll see if THIS makes it through. Congratulations! (Tessie too)
Hi Casey, love your blog. I read it every day. When you posted late that one day I was ready to phone emergency services! Thanks for all you do for us mini enthusiasts :)
I have been a follower, but apparently not officially! But now I am! I check in with you daily and have been voting for you too! I just love Tessie. She reminds me of my inner child although I don't get away with near as much stuff as she does! Tee hee..... Congratulations for three years of fun. You inspired me to start a blog about my dollhouse! I don't post every day cause the daytime job squeezes most of the life out of me, but I can aspire because you and Tessie inspire me! Thanks for sharing so freely! I would love to win.
I made the prettiest comment about how much I love your blog and of course Tessie and how you inspire me and it went and disappeared I think! Anyway! happy anniversary to you. I come and visit daily to see what adventures you all are up too. I am jealous (in a nice way) of all the fun you have making minis! Tell Tessie I am a big fan and her campaign is working. I try to vote daily!
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!
Yay! That is awesome dedication. I understand that I am not eligible for a prize as I am your daughter.
Love the blog and the projects you show. Love reading about all of Tessie's adventures, sometimes I wish I had my own Tessie to keep me in line, but am mostly thankful I don't!!
Congratulations with your 3 years of blogging!!! I'm a follower for some time now and enjoying it every day!!! And I'm a big fan of Tessie...but who isn't ;-) I think even you are if you look deep inside LOL
Congratulations for your 3 years blogging!
You certainly have a huge following!
I just have to peek in here, almost every day to see what your Tessie and you are up too!
Certainly a wonderful Blog!
thank you for all your hard work and sharing with us, hope this continues for many more years to come
Deni
Congratulations! Love your blog, and also Tessie! Thought I was an actual "follower" already, but then realized I've just had you on my Google Reader list. Fixed that situation now. Anyway, I start my online day with your site first - and you always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful projects and techniques with all of us.
Congratulations on three whole years of daily blogging! That really is an achievement worth celebrating!
As for Tessie, I always start my day with a cup of tea and a bit of Tessie-reading. Cheers me up even if it's only 6.30 in the morning and a long day of work is ahead of me.
Hello Tessie, what a great idea, tell Casey she was good to go along with you!!
As I am such a great Tessie fan and a follower please add me to your list for the giveaway.
Thanks
Wow! With so many comments to enable, you deserve the prize, Casey!
Will Tessie's head still fit in any of her houses? :D
Hello! I'm a follower who loves to read your blog every day, and of course I´m a big fan of Tessie!!!

Happy third birthday!!
I'm celebrating the first giving one of my dolls.
The chair would be perfect for my dolls!!
Your miniatures are beautiful.
(htp://maminiatures.blogspot.com)
84 ???!!!! I think it may hit 200 . The gifts are gorgeous, very swoon-worthy and to die for.
You already know I am a Tessie fan, from way back when :)
Thank you , Casey :) for another chance at your wonderful creations.
I love your blog, and naturally am a fan of Tessie. Please count me in your giveaway.
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!
Following the adventures of Tessie is one of the pleasures of my day!
I'd love to be included in your giveaway :)
Hello Casey and Tessie,

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!
I love your blog and of course Tessie! please count me in for your fab giveaway, Id love to win one of your beautiful chairs!
Thanks for the daily entertainment!
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.
Hi Casey! Congrats on reaching 3 years of posts. You are certainly a dedicated Blogger! And I so enjoy reading and learning! Thank you for all that you offer! I'd love to be included in your new drawing! The bassinet is adorable!
