This is a few days late, but I have a good excuse. I’m not going to tell you, other than it’s a good one! *wink*
Well, October has been a busy month on the treasury circuit. I was featured in 41 public treasuries. That certainly beat out my personal best (the total escapes me right now, but it was in the low 20s). And if I removed the totals for all the cardstock deer treasury features, I still come out on top of my old record, so it that’s something. Anywho, go check them out!

I decided to give away the rest of the goodies since I can’t sell them for some reason. So you read that right, there is more than 1 winner! Congrats to you three!
- Lara (Blog entry)
- Melissa J. (from Facebook)
- Mike Geoffrey E. (from Facebook)
I’ve sent the proper emails, but in case it don’t go through (like the last time with facebook, not sure what’s going on with that), can someone let them know they won? ann[at]amazingminiatures.com
This may have been my most successful giveaway yet and it’s all thanks to you and your support (and even your lack of support 
)
This was created by ElementProductions for McDonald’s. Go watch it here. It’s a silly commercial, but I like it!
I see a few custom pieces I made as some reseller stuff and some from the lovely minimodernistas as well. Wooohooo!
P.S. Here’s your chance to win free mini stuff, ends soon.
I’ve had a few friendly notes from the folks at Cardboard Safari in my public spaces about the cardstock deer head that you may have caught wind of.
Here’s a comment on my facebook page:
And some comments on my blog: 
(FYI, he did apologize for this)
And here’s the conversation via Etsy:
Why am I a miniaturist? Why are you a miniaturist? It’s because for whatever reason, we want to live in this tiny world that may reflect our own – or that we wish to reflect our own.
To build our little world, we need little things. But what if they don’t make these items in scale miniatures? What do we do then? We buy them or make them ourselves. When we make the table that we sit at with our family or the table we want to sit at with our family, we as miniaturists make scale counterfeits. Do you have anything made that looks remotely like IKEA furniture for your dollhouse? They are counterfeits. Can’t afford a Burberry umbrella? Oh, let’s just counterfeit them in 1″ scale. You want to decorate your dollhouse with some Le Corbusier LC2 and LC4 chairs? Get the counterfeits from Reac Japan. How about that MacBook, iPad, or iMac? Huh? They’re no such things in 1″ scale? Well, I guess we’ll have to counterfeit them in miniature. So where does it end? All in all, I’m feeling pretty disappointed in this hobby and in people in general.
But if you’re wondering, the giveaway is still going on. Feel free to check it out if you are interested in winning a miniature counterfeit made by someone who should be ashamed of herself.
Also – comments are closed. If you disagree, hate me, think I’m an idiot/pathetic/stupid/etc, go ahead and tell me. ann[at]amazingminiatures.com
Update 10/18/2011:
I really don’t have much else to say here.
To end on a more positive note, I just got back from the first vacation I’ve taken in 4 years and I’ve started building the Hello.Shawn House (a counterfeit of a real house somewhere, surely!), normal postings to resume.
