    Happy New Year from Greenleaf!
    December 2008

    Dear Miniature Enthusiast,

    It’s hard to believe that we’re already at the end of another year! Time goes by so quickly, especially when you’re a miniaturist. We seem to measure time with the number of houses we build and how many more kits we have waiting for us. If it’s true that time flies when we’re having fun, it’s no wonder that the year speeds by faster when we’re building minis.

    In case you hadn't heard, Greenleaf is still offering Free Shipping on orders over $49, so be sure to check it out! With the money you save on shipping, you can afford to get two dollhouses instead of one!

    We wish you all a Happy New Year. May you be blessed with happiness, good health, and joy!

    Havana Holly's Quick Tips!
    By Holly Parker

    Painting tip: How many of you out there have decided to paint your Chrysnbon or polymer clay item with acrylic paints and had them bead up? It's easy to whip out that can of aerosol primer and give the item a spray, but some of you may not keep a can of flat gray primer amongst your basic supplies; or, like me, find the can is either empty or nearly so. Wipe the item with a bit of plain rubbing alcohol first & then mix a little white tacky glue (the kind that dries clear) with your paint and it will stick. Do let it dry thoroughly before handling it very much, but it won't bead up on you.


    Maxxim and Xander have a long wait! The Critter Corner!
    Do you think He's coming back?

    Maxxim and Xander anxiously watch the chimney in hopes that Santa will return with more toys. They were so good this year that they're just sure they rate more goodies!

    Our thanks to Rebecca (butlerestates) for sharing such a cute picture with us. Rebecca will receive a $25 gift card from Petsmart for being featured in our Critter Corner.

    If you'd like to submit your pet's picture for consideration for the Critter Corner, you can upload pictures in the "Good Pets acting bad!" or "Good Pets acting cute!" galleries at the Greenleaf Forum.
