A Merry Miniature Christmas 2017

Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season!  Thank you so much for all the comments and love on my last post, this community is really what makes making miniatures so special for me.

I actually started off my Christmas holidays by snapping my camera's SD card in half... yep, it's all gone... I do have some photos on my phone and a bunch of prototype experiments to illustrate my posts but I'll need to re-take official photos of the house in January.

Rather than focusing on that unexpected blunder, I jumped into all things Christmas with the Belmont house.  It's been so fun to finally dig out all the miniatures I've had stashed away for years, just waiting for a house to display.

The tree is inspired by @Allieshouse on instgram.  She took a Lemax village tree and bulked it out with extra needles.  After discussing it with her I went and took my old miniature tree from a couple years ago and took it apart, putting the needles in the new base.  I love the shape the Lemax tree creates!  Next year I'll get some real miniature lights.

I hope you all have a happy and safe holiday!  Sending lots of love to you all!  Merry Christmas!
