July 2025
It's July and that's our month for Camp Make-A-Mini! Do you realize that this is our FIFTH year doing our camp? Watch the Camp block on the home page for updates and links when the camp starts on July 12th so you can join in on all the fun!
While we don't have an official challenge this month, we would LOVE to make a gallery of everyone's finished Camp projects. Please send your pics to Janet Smith at janet@miniatures.org.
See all our previous Camp projects here, including links to those pictures that our members have sent. If you send a pic, please allow us a few days to get it added to the gallery!
Do you have something to share with us as a Create Shares? Would you be willing to show us your collection via zoom or a slide show? Or do you have a miniature talent you can demonstrate? Please contact Debbie Colombo.
We've got several workshops ready for signups. July's workshops include McGregor's House by Shaun Crawford, a house that can be hung on a wall. It's not too late to order our Camp Make-A-Mini Cabins (though they may ship after the camp). There are more workshops coming in August and September as well. For these and other Create-ive Offerings, including our Camp Make-A-Mini Cabins, click here.
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.
Have you had a chance to look at the NAME store recently?
Many of our past t-shirts are available along with oodles of other NAME merchandise. There are also souvenirs from conventions and pins.

Camp Make-A-Mini 2025
This July, Create is heading for an Alpine Adventure!
Join us for Camp Make-A-Mini as we take to the mountains to build charming A-frame style houses. This year, we have two fantastic designs to choose from, created by talented miniaturists Preble McDaniel and Alician Pearce — you can check them out here.
Camp Make-A-Mini kicks off on Saturday, July 12, and runs through Saturday, July 19, wrapping up with a cozy closing campfire.
Throughout the week, we'll have puzzles, games, tutorials, and chances to win some amazing prizes!
Don't miss out — come build, play, and adventure with us on this unforgettable Alpine journey!
