The Party is Three Hundred Strong!

This morning I awoke to 3oo people officially following this blog! Amazing!

When I started this blog almost two years ago, I never dreamed that anybody would read it, let alone follow it. I didn't even know what followers were until I was stumbling around on dashboard one day and discovered that I had some. I had to stumble around some more to see what that meant.

I am now the proud host of a wild party that just keeps going. I have a few new people to greet before we get on to other things.

I am always forgetting that blogger hides people without photos at the end of the list. If I have missed welcoming anyone, please forgive me.

From that part of the list, I found Aino of Tiitelintaatelin tuuteli http://tiiteli.blogspot.com/ She has minis and other crafts featured on her blog.

Also from that part of the list are some other mysterious people in the shadows......Snowberry,Merchu,Olivia.K.Alexander,Marika,Whittedraak,Irene, and Melabelo

Some people from the front of the list are Cheryl, Troy Bettridge,Pepi_mali, Evelyne M, Black Box and Miniannalee. They have the photos, but no info that I could find.

Next there is Lotte of Loten Nukkekotipaivakirja http://lottasatomaa.wordpress.com/ Her shoes are out of this world.

Then there is Claudia of Mockingbird Hill Cottage http://mockingbirdhillcottage.blogspot.com/ Her blog is mostly about living in a wonderful vintage cottage. Really neat.

Now about that three hundred......We need to really party. There will be a surprise in the mail to one of my followers. If you are a follower and want to get in on it, please send a comment to this entry. Followers may be old or new. In other words, you can sign up as a follower and make a comment, but you must be on the followers list. One comment per person please. I will give you until midnight of my birthday to comment. That is Saturday, January 30. On Sunday January 31, I will draw a name out of the hat and that person will, upon sending me their snail mail address, receive a surprise gift. I am celebrating 300 followers and my birthday all in one. Now LET'S PARTY!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I decided to make this my entry for today. I'll be back with the beaded bottles tomorrow.

See you then!

More Welcomes!

I must start being more efficient in welcoming new people to the party. I am way behind again.

This is getting to be quite a crowd. We are up to 289 people!

This morning I am welcoming fourteen new ones.

I will start with Vinchen. His blog is Vinchen Arts at http://vinchenarts.blogspot.com/ He does some really neat polyclay figures and has lots of other interesting things to look at and read about there.

Susanne just sent me a comment telling me about her blog. I wonder why it doesn't show in her profile. It is Miniature Dreams athttp://miniaturedreams.blogspot.com/ I actually went to look at the earrings she made from my tutorial a few days ago. I just didn't know that she was that Susanne... Thanks for sending it. I went to sign up as a follower on your site Susanne and for some reason it doesn't show my icon or my profile. I am going to try again and see if I can get it to work right.

Genevieve was kind enough to send me the url for her blog. Her's is Genevieve's Miniacollection at

Next is Szarka. She has three blogs and two other websites listed in her profile. The first one is Ask Szarka at http://askszarka.blogspot.com/ From there you can get to the other sites. They seem to be jewelry oriented.

Then we have Marit at Black Cat Cottage. http://blackcatcottage.blogspot.com/ She is working on a really beautiful Conservatory right now. Do go look.

Next is Eli en Karina. Debbie at Tiny Treasures http://debbiestinytreasures.blogspot.com/ helped me out with her blog URL. It is called The Mouse-Mansion at

I have been lax in greeting new people to the party! Sorry. My excuse is the same as every other person out there. Holidays get in the way.
