As I described in my Welcome post, after I finished my first build, the greenhouse, someone close to me asked me to build for them! I was so flattered and touched that they asked me to create something for them - it was the highest compliment I could receive!
They chose Miller's Garden. As I worked on the kit, I realized this person's birthday was only 2 months away. I decided to try to add a few small details to make it a little more personalized. I searched the Internet and began to discover the world of miniature building. I was still limited, though, and I focused more on where to buy pieces that would help with personalization - such as 1/2" scale photo frames and a birthday cake. I completely revamped the outside walls of Miller's Garden to create a personalized birthday motif. I presented it at their birthday party and they appreciated all of the detail I had put in.
This was when I fell in love with the idea of kit bashing!
