I want you to create something new out of it. I did some myself to insprire you:


But this style is the one like most:


You can enter the challenge e.g. by commenting here or at Flickr or Mini treausures wiki.

Summer of flowers is just about to start!

The beginning of this year we have been featuring different colours in Mini treasures. Now it is time to pick another theme: we are looking at flowers now. Are you selling mini flowers? Make sure your shop is listed. Or have you created flower prints, instructions, videos? Have collected flowers enough for a garden or a flower shop? Share your beautiful flowers with will you and dont forget to enjoy the real life flowers around you too :).

2nd anniversary coming

Hi friends!

Amazing thing - I noticed we have 100 followers in this blog. Thank you so much for your interest :).

Next week will be a special one - Mini treasures wiki will be 2 years old on 14th April. Last year I organized a virtual party and had a lot of fun. I was planning something similar this year with contests and everything but have been too busy to organize it. For example last week I visited Denmark for a conference that was held in Lego hotel - what an inspiring place it was! Too bad the park itself was closed.

So I was about to tell you that there will be no party at all but felt too bad about that so here it is: a page for us to celebrate the occasion again.

And there will be one contest - I will let you know who of you has brought most traffic to our wiki during the last year. :)

New ideas needed for promo

Lately I have notice a lot of new activity in Mini treasures wiki which is just great :). But as the owner I am not content - I want to have even more :).

So now I am asking if you can come up with new ways of promoting - how can we get even more miniaturists to visit our site? At the moment we have about 200 daily visitors (and over 4000 monthly visitors) but I know we could get much more. So shoot me! What could we do? Is there someone of you who would like to interview me for a blog or a mag? Could you tell about the wiki in your club meetings or for your forums? Should we arrange a big contest? Pleeeeeeeeease - I need new ideas my friends :).

PS. If you host a mini site and follow your stats it would be nice to hear about your traffic.

Top 10 search phrases in Feb

Something from the stats again. :)

People google for the following words before they enter Mini treasures wiki:

1. dollhouse printables
2. mini printables
3. minitreasures wiki
4. miniature printables
5. dollhouse miniature printables
6. miniature printies
7. dollhouse blogs
8. dollhouse miniatures japanese room
9. puppenhaus lundby
10. ddung

No wonder printables page is the most popular page in our wiki :). See also the other popular pages.

What is your favorite printable site at the moment and is it found from the wiki already?

But the 10th phrase was a real surprise for me. ddung! Are the some people making miniature projects inspired by her?

The wiki is upgraded again

Usch - I just paid for the second upgrade, we have now got yet another year for premium version of PBworks. I think last year the payment was something like 100 dollars - now it is nearly 500$. It feels kind of lot for a hobby project but I guess I need to continue with the premium version so that we are not loosing anything (members nor data) and to keep spammers away from it.

In case you would like to help me with the payment you can easily do it by
- making Amazon purchases using the links from our wiki
- donating via PayPal (just let me know your email address, mine is the same old)
- buying fan products from our Cafe Press shop.

And if you do not have any money or will to use for monetizing Mini treasures wiki at the moment don't worry, I am sure someone (like me) is taking care it for you. :)

But if you do want to spoil yourself see if there are any nice books here you'd need to get:



Take care wiki friends!
