April 2025
Our theme for April is "Jokes, Pranks, and Funny Stuff"! Everybody needs to laugh and April Fool's Day seemed like the perfect time to kick off a month of humor! Our challenge for the month is to send in a picture of a miniature with a joke embedded in the scene. This can be interpreted many ways -- from Preble's "House" plant, to Cat's rising mummy, to Terry's partying senior citizens. What funny stuff have you come up with?
To participate, please send in your picture (no more than two, please) and a brief description to TerryUnnold at tlunnold@aol.com and we will post it HERE.
Also, we've hidden some knock knock jokes around the site for you to find and get a little chuckle (or maybe just a groan).
There are ten jokes hidden around the website. See if you can find all ten! When you do, send an email to Janet Smith (janet@miniatures.org) with a list of where you found ALL TEN jokes. If you find all ten, your name will be entered into a drawing for a cool prize (no joke!)
Have you looked through our Photo Galleries recently? We have all the past monthly themed photo pages, the last two years' CYLC, and many student projects from our workshops. Check them all out here.
We had our first "Let's Chat!" with Andi Vinciquerra recently and the video is up on our videos page. To see it, look here and check out all our other Create Shares while you are there.
If you haven’t dropped in to one of the live zoom sessions you have no idea how much fun you can have playing minis in the comfort of your own home with online friends.
Check the calendar for times and links.
