Spring is in the air....

... and everyone's energies seem to be returning!  In the last two days I have received 7 - count 'em - 7 entries for our Camp Bingo Challenge.  People have been busy.

The first person to send in was Patricia S. and she has actually provided us with 3 entries of her own.  Tonight I will post the first one because there are a lot of pictures with this one:

Teaching a child-friendly mini
"Last fall I stayed over with a young friend with 4 daughters age 4 to 11, so I packed foil, masking 
tape and paper towel, hoping to have some time to show the girls how to make a simple fairy 
house. I had brought glue and some lids from large yogurt containers to define the size of the 
fairy/gnome home somewhat.

At the time the CMHH bingo was not on my mind, so, while I took photos of the girls, I have 
none with me.

More recently, I happened to ask Anna, the Mom, if any of the girls ever completed their 
project. The night, I was there, they all created their structure and taped it all, the older one got 
further than that, but there was no time to finish.

Anna then sent me a photo of one daughter's finished "home", and told me that another 
daughter had a school project, and she was able to use this technique to do her project."

"Ever likes patterned duck tape as wallpaper..."

"Mira worked fast and got the paper towel stage completed with her choice of door/window..."

"Ever adds a second story..."

"Imogen at work..."

Below, the first photo is Mira's completed gnome home that she started with Patricia.  The other 2 show Ever's school project...

The note from the girls' mother explains:

"Mira's completed house and also Ever’s recent creation of a traditional Nigerian home for her school project.  She used the technique that you taught them.  What a blessing it was to know how to make something like that!!"

Thank you, Patricia for sharing these with us - - - and for molding the next generation of miniaturists!

I am going to post all of the recent entries before I update all of the Bingo cards but right now - I'm going to bed!!!  Be sure to check back tomorrow night to see what's next.  I don't plan on sending out a notice after every single one since they all came in so close together.  Thanks everyone for your participation.
