Blondie Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I also have to see everything since I'm a visual learner. Until I can get my kit out and put together, I'm hopeless! LOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Med Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Summer holidays at home then this year Brae or you'll have to make up lots of mini projects to take with you for "downtime" Good luck doing 2 contests, I'd struggle to do one even with the extended timescale. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgansmith Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I placed my order Saturday. It doesn't show as shipped yet but I am going to hope for an arrival this week. Better yet, I'm going to hope I make up my mind what I want to do. Seriously. I bought a book Sunday that I planned to use for something else entirely. Right there in the very beginning is a picture of the Spring Fling. As in, identical. And it's NOT what I had planned. I'm getting a little frustrated with myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I can't wait to see what it looks like in RL. I'll bet my ideas will morph and change along the way. If we don't paint ourselves into a corner with being too set on something, it will be more challenging and more fun, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrchob Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Kit is opened and did a dry fit. This is my first experience with a Greenleaf kit. Had an embarrasing moment. I got in the mail one of the first things I ordered that needed transforming for my ___________. I emailed the company telling them I received something different. Their reply was a very kind and nice suggestion that I turn it over!! ( I had sent an attachment with my email) Sure hope this isn't an omen. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have NEVER been so productive when it comes to minis. I've never had my hands actually create exactly what I see in my head and go so smoothly. The inside of the basic house kit is as finished as it's going to get until my order comes from HBS. Then it's just painting/staining 2 windows, 2 ___________ and a door and I can move on to the custom __________ I'm building. Then the ________________, the ______________ and the exterior, Still so much to do like all the ___________... OH! and the _____! :fear: :fear: :fear: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needletherapy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I am still waiting for my kit to arrive. For now I am drooling over the comments of the working process of those who has started SF2013 already. I should admit that while reading your posts I've got the spirit and courage and decided to add a couple of more contests to my list, including HBS Cottage and Real Good Toys Bistro Challenge. The good thing about last one is that the deadline is in February 2014 and I should have time to finish it. At the same time my goal is to organize my minis that I collected over the years.

tappy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Mine is on the truck headed hopefully to my house today! I hope they find it! I can relate to those stories of UPS not finding the house--I got a box that was stamped that my address didn't exist one time too, but since I got it, they obviously found it! I just ordered mine last Thursday the 16th--I just ordered some Fling things and some shingles for my half-finished Pierce I got at an auction. One time I ordered a laser cut house along with a die-cut and it took a little longer since I had to wait on the laser cut one to be lasered. Hope you don't have to wait much longer Morgan & Natalia. GL customer service is super nice--I had called when my order seemed stuck (waiting on the laser item)--and they were really helpful explaining the delay and when it would go out.

CheckMouse Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I just checked the tracking on my package - it has only progressed from New York to Maine - is that really progress? It has to get all the way to the opposite coast! Supposed to arrive here next Tuesday. I'm not a happy camper about the delay on the micro kit I ordered 3 months ago - it just now got here and now I'll have two kits to focus on! I should have had the little one finished by now! :kicking: Now if I can just kick RL into the next county I can get some serious mini-ing done! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotKateHepburn Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Got my kit, dry fitted, played with some sketches and it's decided it wants to be ____ ________ _________ instead of what I wanted. Totally different than I had planned on! I'll need every min of the time we have to make this vision even come close! Tomorrow is ______ a _____ and making a ______. Then floors can start! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren838 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Went out of town this weekend to watch my daughter compete in her first state-wide gymnastics meet. So proud of her!!!!!! She won the floor exercise in her age group and came in fifth overall. When I got home, the kit had arrived! Life is very, very good. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckMouse Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Next time I travel I'm going to put a stamp on myself and park at the Post Office!! My kit arrived in the Springfield MA office (sorry, not ME) at 2:30 yesterday morning, apparently slid right out the back door and landed in Federal Way WA by 8:50 last night - AND ARRIVED HERE TODAY!! Who needs American Airlines??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
