Here are the beautiful submissions.

From Preble McDaniel:
The first ever NAME Day was held in 2010 and I decided right away what I wanted to do. I wanted to put 1:48 scale items into a 1:12 scale hutch. I ordered my kit and left out one of the shelves to accommodate the taller items. To decorate it, I used pieces I cut from a notepad paper some of which I used my computer to make longer. To that I added some dots to enhance the design. To furnish it, I drew upon my many swaps I have received over many years. It was fun “shopping” in my boxes of swaps.

From Terry Unnold:
Here are a couple of my NAME Day projects for the challenge. I still use the butcher block island in photos to show off mini food all the time and I consider the hutch to be a very rare piece in my collection of minis since it is finished!

This is my 2015 Completed NAME Day Project. It was a very fun project and a great way to display some of my favorite flower arrangements that I have collected over the years.

From Susan Watkins:
This is my favorite NAME Day project -- I made the structure following Cat Wingler's article in the Gazette. I also made all the flowers using my own punches or laser cut petals from SDK or Mary Kinloch.
I made this with a friend online, she in Al and me in TN. We had a lot of fun collaborating and I think of her when I look at it. This was one of the first times I made quarter scale flowers.
Our club used the cart in a 1 inch scale 'flea market' corner box which we displayed at the Nashville convention.

This is my 1:48 room box with the 2019-2020 NAME Day projects. I used the printables from Quarter Connection and bits from Debbie Young's kits to finish the room box. This is one of my favorite projects!

From Suzanne Spooner-Munch:
Here are my interpretations of recent NAME day kits.
I decided to reinvent the tiki hut into a beach shell ‘n board shop, replacing the fringed roof with an inverted bread basket. The palm tree was made with the help of a Create.com video.
The clock shop, “Tempus Restorum”, contains my first encounter with a NAME day project. The craft table kit became the perfect clock repair bench for my clock maker. And yes, I made most of the clocks.

From Mae Karoli:
Several years ago at a convention garage sale, I purchased this roombox kit that was one of the souvenirs from the 2006 houseparty “Tell Me a Story”. I had it for several years before deciding to create a craft room using the NAME Day kits from 2019, the craft table, and 2020, the sink, base cabinet, and overhead cabinet. I designed and made new book covers based on miniature and craft themes. The floor is scrapbook paper. I purchased several other craft related kits including the tall craft cabinet, file cabinet, paper holder, wood holder, pegboard, bulletin board, and desk accessories.

These photos show my NAME Day cart. Completing all the flowers and the cart was a wonderful experience. I can't believe how well it all came together! This is 1/4 scale kit from SDK.

From Cheryl Polito:
I was lucky enough to belong to N-1 region and I don’t remember who set up the Noah’s ark scene, but as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted it. At the time of the first NAME day, I was working full time and my kits were stored away and I just barely made it this summer. I loved putting it all together and am pleased with my hutch.
