January 2026
January we are focusing on the little ones. Our theme for January is "Child's Play". Our Challenge for the month is to send in a picture of children at play or where they might have just left -- so pictures of miniatures toys. To participate, please send in your picture(s) and a brief description to Barbara Thornton-Hill at bathca@gmail.com and we will post it HERE.
If you send in a picture, please allow us a few days to get it added to the challenge page!
We've got a couple of workshops for the young and not so young -- Polymer Clay ice cream and a Toy Cottage. For these and other Create-ive Offerings click here.
Have you looked at our extensive photo gallery lately? We have eye candy galore for all our past challenges and many of our Create-ive Offerings.
Have you had a chance to look at the NAME store recently? Souvenirs are available to purchase from the latest Convention. As well as many of our past t-shirts.
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.
We ARE doing the Create Year Long Challenge again!! You have until January 15 to email Debbie Colombo at irvfink@gmail.com with your plans for the new year and a picture of your project in its current state. For more instructions, look HERE.
