First Time Entry Winners

So I'm a little confused.  Is it possible I'm too invested?

Kristine of Paper Doll Miniatures is not listed among the First Time Entry winners.  I am now convinced there's either something wrong or she's placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd or the Grand Prize.  Which would be awesome!

So I'm going to keep an eye out for future email notifications.

In the meantime, here are the First Time Entry winners.

Backwoods Entrepreneur by Bill Elgin



Beach Cabin by Connie Ness



Tin-Pot Robot Repair by Loraine Pansegrau



The Little Kite Shop by Cindy Parise (I think this is my favorite out of all of them)



Parrots Cove by Doug Payne



Muddy Waters by Anita Waters



Congratulations Everybody!

  1. Whaaatt!! She must be the grand prize winner... there is no way that she doesn't deserve even a mention!! From the entries here I think the houseboat is my favourite. Very clever and innovative. :)

    1. I like the houseboat too. I think what's making me a little crazy is the photography on some of these entries. Some of them make me dizzy!

    2. I agree. If she's not the Grand prize winner she must have at least placed.

    3. AWWW YOU GUYS!!! LOL. You're making me blush.
      Do they usually announce it like this over so many days?

      I love the roof on the first one but the Houseboat is probably my favourite. I love the way she elevated the roof.

    4. Hey we like what we like!

      And they do, it usually takes two weeks? I think. I've only been getting emails for the last couple years so I'm not as sure about the timing as I'd like to be.

      Anyone else remember what it was like last year?

    1. I'm always so curious to see how other people have used the kit that I'm certain everyone else wants to know too.

  3. First timers just ain't what they used to be... The bar is rising higher and higher! I love it!
    And Kristine - just get ready to be on the cover of an upcoming catalog! How exciting!

    1. I'm firmly convinced Kristine at least placed if she's not our Grand prize winner. But I really want her on the magazine cover.

  4. I like all of the first time entrant winner's projects. I think the robot shop is my favorite, though the backwoods entrepreneur is clever too.

    I did not expect to see Kristine on this list of winners, she had to have placed higher.

    1. This was sort of the least I expected for her.

      I loved the kites on the ceiling for the kite shop. It made having a skylight make sense.

  5. They are all lovely and original :-).
    The Backwoods Entrepreneur entry is my favorite :-).
    I can't wait to see who the 3 prize winners are!

  6. Hmmm, Paperdoll’s entry is pretty amazing.... sometimes in the past I have wondered at the choices made by the judges. Here’s hoping this year isn’t one of them. Good luck to Kristine.
