This month we have a fun game to play suggested by Anna.  Below, you’ll see pictures of a few ordinary items that have the potential to become minis.  To play the game, email your suggestions for what an item could be used for in a miniature to deb@greenleafdollhouses.com  with the subject line:  Challenge Game 

In your email, include your description of what you would make of each item……….or you can actually make the item and email a picture of your finished mini.  The choice is up to you and we’ll be delighted with all answers!  You can pick one or two items, or do a whole bunch!  We’ll compile the results in next month’s Gazette to share with all our readers.

1.   Marbles (any size or color)
