For December, our theme is Home for the Holidays. We asked you to send in pictures of miniatures featuring any holiday.
Please be patient with the Create team (we are all volunteers) as it it may take a few days for your pictures to be posted. You WILL receive a gift but it might take a few weeks.
Here are the beautiful submissions.

From Anne Renwick:
I had accumulated so many Christmas items that I made a Christmas shop in one of my block of shops (i.e. an Ikea dollhouse). But still there's little room to browse! Inside some of the items are: table tops made from slices from the trunks of two Christmas trees my niece and her family enjoyed; a Christmas ornament rocking horse; a silver jewelry sleigh; a gift tag reindeer; an artisan-made toboggan; a dollhouse from a trinket box; an advent wall quilt from a picture of a real one; ceiling border from scrapbooking stickers; wallpaper download; washi tape flooring; Christmas cookies from real sprinkles; and more!

From Tammy Witthaus:
This is my 1/2” scale Brooke Tucker Golden Christmas that took me many years of collecting/creating. Hard to see but I also finished off the outside with elegant “wrapping paper” and bow.

From Ellie Falco:
My favorite holiday decorations is this 4 tier box with some favorite items on the 1st tier and then a tiny living room all decked out for Christmas, a little kitchen packed with holiday goodies in the making, and an outdoor scene at the bottom.

From Brenda McDougall:
These pictures are of my quarter scale (1:48) Christmas ‘exploding’ box card/room box. When the lid is on the box, it looks like a little 3-inch square present – when the lid is removed, the ‘walls’ fall away showing the room all ready for Christmas.

From Kim Kehoe:
My favorite Christmas mini.

From Catherine Hawkins:
Attached is a scene I call "Christmas Cat-A-Clysm" --- a room decorated for Christmas with 29 cats in various stages of destroying all the holiday decorations. They've taken down the tree, unpotted a poinsettia, gotten into the tinsel and the ribbon, pulled a swag off the mantel, knocked over the gingerbread house --- keep looking --- there's more!

From Pam Junk:
I made this Candy Corn House using the Seaside Miniatures GIngerbread House Kit, some Halloween scrapbook papers and candy corn glass beads for the fence. Then of course I had to make a Candy Corn Witch to inhabit it.

From Kathy Koons:
You guys couldn't have made it any harder- I've made so many holiday miniatures! But, most of them are of Christmas, because it is my favorite time of year. I guess my favorite is Jane Harrop's 1:48 scale 2021 Advent Calendar, where we did a step each day from December 1 to 24 to build a lodge. I gave mine a German name (Chalet Stechpalme - Holly Chalet) and filled it with her furniture kits designed for it, Volker Arnold Christmas decorations kits, and odds and ends. Fun to build and to look at! The great thing is I get to make another of her Advent Calendars this month.

From Suzie Aguilar:
My favorite holiday miniature is Santa’s house that I finished last year thanks to Create’s Year Long Challenge. Santa has dozed off while Noel (Mrs Claus) and helper elf make treats in the kitchen and more elves are working away in the attic.
