I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I guess it's time to pick up the wrapping paper from the floor and think about the New Year and 2017! Can you believe it? It honestly seems like yesterday that I was standing in my Georgetown house on December 31, 1999 watching the TV in the kitchen. We were all wondering whether the computers would change to 2000. Remember the big shenanigans that date change caused? Well, it's almost here, not 2000 but..2017.
To clean out the studio and ready myself for the new year, I am having an After Christmas Sale in my shop....
Please come on by for some deals on tutorials and some Graphic 45 Paper Pads! I've also added some requested kits and a new January Project! Sale Ends December 31, 2016!

ReplyDeleteWow!, such detail and places for everything. I'm turning 50 on the 31st, so waking up on 1/1 to find out I won, would be a great start to 2017.

ReplyDeleteJim, I would love to see a usable functional storage item. I'm all into storage. I would also love to someone make a muscle car. Like a GTO or a Camero.

You're from Texas so your pickup truck needs a horse trailer! It just needs to be big enough to put a horse figurine in it. Would be a big hit with my niece!
ReplyDeletethis is so cool. I would like an easter egg on a gorgeous coach atop a field of kids searching for eggs. lots of color and gold on the egg with compartments and the base with a photo album drawer.
ReplyDeleteA vintage steamer trunk - with drawers, of course! Ha Ha

Wow! You are amazing Jim. I would love to see some sort of storage unto I could place on my crop table that wouldn't take up a large footprint. I always have tools all over the desk while I'm working on projects. I don't have a huge work surface so space is minimal. Oh... and it has to be Steampunk! Lol.
ReplyDeleteHow about a jeep or similar vehicle featuring G45 Safari Adventure? I love the vehicle that you have thus far created.
ReplyDeleteWould love more buildings for both the putz village and some bigger to go with the candu shoppe and toy shoppe. I'm thinking a floral shoppe, general store, gas station, diner..... Have a great new year!
ReplyDeleteYour putz house are amazing so how about a series- The North Pole with Mr and Mrs Claus, a toy workshop, a barn for the reindeer, and a sleigh. I would be ok with just a sleigh.
ReplyDeleteJim, this is an answer to my prayers! I have been wanting a heavy duty storage unit! The rest of the ones I had found over the Internet or too flimsy or didn't make sense in terms of storage or at store two little. I am so excited for this giveaway! what I would like to see is a similar project to something you did on your old blog which consisted of a cabinet and on top of the earth and some other elements hung suspended from wire on top. It had so much potential as a gift for him to use along with a wonderful element that wasn't as a gift or to use along with an unusual element that wasn't prohibitive or in the way. So a magic theme with maybe secret compartments etc up with that element on top would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the storage unit and could definitely use it-love all the little drawers and compartments. Thanks for the chance to win. Happy New Year!! >^..^<
ReplyDeleteOh my, Jim, you have done it again! What a inventive unit for paper players. Thank you for all of your inspiration you give to each of us. Happy 2017 to you!
ReplyDeleteLove the storage unit...You know what I want the VIOLIN...Yes Thank You so much Jim
ReplyDeleteThat is a magnificent structure! Love it!
ReplyDeleteNow that I have read the whole post: I would love a storage container for my Coptic books that have pages made from half sheets of letter-size paper (that is, 4.25x5.5 inches). It would have a shelf for the finished ones (the spines are about three-quarters of an inch wide), a drawer for those in progress, and one for needles and thread.
ReplyDeleteOh that storage unit is awesome. You come up with some of the most incredible things.
ReplyDeleteHope you and Cesar have a great New Year with lots and lots of happy days.
WOW What a fabulous prize. That is so cool. Thank you for the fabulous opportunity Jim. Merry Christmas ans Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteWow this is amazing. I am working on the Rare Oddities box at the minute and loving every minute. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome project.
ReplyDeletewow love this storage unit. It looks like it will hold tons of items. I tend to be a messy crafter so having this unit close by may help me to contain my items. I would love to see more cars and trucks. I have been suggesting to everyone who designs, to make a limousine. So far no one has taken up this task. lol Thanks for the chance to win this
ReplyDeleteWow! What a fantastic storage module!! Thank you for the chance to win! I would love to see you create a model of a typewriter with hidden compartments, which of course would have an album hidden inside.
ReplyDeletePlease create more Hallowe'en pieces this year. Your storage items are special favorites so winning the giveaway module would bring me great delight.
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like 2017 is going to present it's own set of internet problems since an extra second is going to be added to Dec 31st! Love your storage cube(d), so you! I'd like to see you create an ancient Greek Temple, specifically the Parthenon... (my heritage is peeking through!) Happy New Year to you and "yours"!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely storage unit. Love it. A Death Star would be fabulous for my son's desk with some hidden storage. ;-))
ReplyDeleteWow. What a fantastic storage cabinet. Thanks for a chance to win. Happy 2017 from a fellow Texan.
ReplyDeleteWowzer!!! That is awesome! If I won that, that would be my craft desk super organised!!! Love your creations!
ReplyDeleteHow about a storage unit for all my Dylusion Paints and Sprays, with possible additions when new colors appear? X
Oh another idea... how about something that could hold all the handmade cards I make in advance, something that can actually hold more than a small number because they are usually thicker than normal store bought cards! X
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! I would love an old time barn project.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have boys boys boys in my family. They are mostly fishermen, so a tackle box for their desk would be fun. Or maybe a toolbox? Any with an album inside. Thanks so much for a chance to win this fabulous project! Hardware too! I never have been able to afford kits. So this would be fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the tower. Wish you all the best for 2017 with a lot of inspiration( good for all of us)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome and generous giveaway! So how about an antique car, like the Model T, a designer shoe or sneaker, maybe a piano or violin. How about a Cinderella cage, I'd love to see a Disney Theme, that would be fun! I loved the London projects and was so glad to make these at Whim So Doodle, so I'd love to see more projects from around the world. Even monuments from the good ole USA like Statue of Liberty or the White House. So looking forward to what you're creating in 2017, I know it will be fabulous as all your projects are AMAZING! Happy New Year to you and Cesar!
ReplyDeleteJim, first let me say thank you for the sale. I have made so many of your tutorials, and would love to see an antique car or truck maybe model T or the like. Cant wait for the tutorial for the vintage pickup. Thanks for all your creative talent and I am excited for the new year and your tutorials.

I would love to see an interactive nature scene of a cabin or house with lots of trees and wild animals around it! Only you would be able to create a magical scene worthy of Nature's Beauty! The animals could all be different types of storage containers and the house could store larger tools like scissors, pokey tools, bone folders and such! With your magic touch and creative mind I know you would make an awe worthy creation! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome storage piece! My island could really use it!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and Cesar. I love anything that can be used as decoration and storage. My house is full of boxes and drawers that I learned how to make from you.

ReplyDeleteI just thought of another project I'd love to see you do -- an antique typewriter. I have several of these decorating my studio and would love to have one that functions as something other than a paper weight! I know there are several tutorials out there already, but none have your signature style or flair!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see how to build perfect clothing rack!
ReplyDeletemmyheartishere@gmail.com
I love this storage module! You seem to have thought of everything and I would love to win it.
ReplyDeleteI wish you would design an old-fashioned trunk (steamer trunk?!?) with lots of niches and drawers to hold small treasures.
How about a stagecoach wagon. Of course anything you do will be super awesome. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2017.
ReplyDeleteA log cabin would be neat - complete with a loft and fireplace.
