Brae's blog was the first blog I started following when I got back into miniatures and what's more, Brae was the first follower of my blog. To have someone of Brae's talent start following your blog when you are a novice blogger finding your way gives you such a boost of confidence to keep going. Thanks Brae.

Congratulations also to Casey Minis for a very close fought second place. Visit Casey and check out the adventures of Tessie, Zar and Spike.

Both Brae and Casey while working on their projects happily share with their blog followers their techniques and ideas. They are both super talented miniaturists.

Congratulations also to the other nominees:

DIY Dollshouse Miniatures where you can find some fabulous project tutorials. I am working on the Sugar 'n Spice Project which I hope to have finished by Christmas.
