23 nights until the advent calendar starts!

My kids have already started counting days until they can open their advent calendars. Maybe I should do the same. There are still some windows available in the calendar, go and claim yours, it will be fun to see what you come up with. :)

I am promoting the calendar with pictures that I picked from Mini treasures Flickr group - we have 113 members and 935 pictures already - wow!

Hej till Sverige!

(Title translated: Hi to Sweden!)

Yesterday it was Swedish day in Finland (there are 2 official languages in Finland: most of us speak Finnish and about 5% Swedish) and to celebrate that I edited the Swedish pages in our wiki.

If you know more nice Swedish links, feel free and add them. :)

PS. I am starting in a new job soon so I don´t have too much time for the wiki at the moment.

Wooper will be missed

I heard something I still can´t believe: one of the most beloved miniaturists in Finland has unexpectedly passed away. I just want to express my condolences to her family and friends - the dollhouse people in Finland will never forget Wooper.

I run out of words.

Sales @ Mini treasures´ fan shop

Don´t we all love sales and making bargains? I decided to start the sales in Mini treasures´ fan shop in Cafe Press today, it will last the rest of this year - so that you can buy something for Seasons e.g. greeting cards. Happy shopping experience!

Wiki slogan redefined

The slogan of the wiki used to be:

Mini treasures wiki - Connecting dollhouse people

but I just redefined it, now it is:

Mini treasures wiki - Connecting mini makers & collectors world-wide.

Any comments?

Button for Advent calendar

I am so excited about the Advent calendar in Mini treasures wiki - already one third of the windows are reserved - and I introduced the concept only 2 days ago. :) Take this button and add it to your blog or web site to promote the Advent calendar - this year the Christmas eve will come too fast, I can assure you. ;)

Advent calendar

I have loved advent calendars since I was a kid. I never stopped buying one for myself and recently I have had miniature calendars, some got from swaps, some bought (Lundby has made cool calendars). Three years ago I introduced a picture calendar in Nukkekotiwiki and it was really popular among the miniaturists. We have had it for 3 years now and now that we have the new wiki I am bringing the concept there too.

The idea is that people reserve themselves windows and then they fill the page with something related to Christmas miniatures.

Read more from Advent calendar and join - it will be so fun!

PS. Before Christmas there is Halloween, check the tips&hints for your projects.
