Find My Mistakes Contest!

I make errors all the time. Hopefully, I'll find many of them myself, but there are bound to be some problems I've missed. Every mistake you find and email me is 1 entry. PLEASE INCLUDE THE ADDRESS OF THE PAGE WITH THE PROBLEM. These mistakes can include typos and other spelling or grammatical errors, broken links, missing images, garbled images, and pages that just don't load.

Once a year, I'll randomly select one of the entries and award a gift certificate. The annual drawing will normally be in May. I'll have to be the final judge as to what is a mistake. For example, I prefer "email" to "e-mail."

Here are some examples (please don't turn these in as mistakes, they are here as examples):

This is a broken link on printmini: This is a bad link that goes no where
This is a broken link on geocities: This is a bad link that goes no where
Here's a missing image:

Here's a garbled image:

I found several typos while moving the site. I'd copied and pasted "Tunk" for "Trunk" about 5 times! Your help in finding these problems is always appreciated!

Happy Hunting!

Finished Contest: Mistakes

********* CONTEST WINNERS! 4/23/2007 *********

The contest took a few years off so this year I'm awarding multiple winners! Thanks to everyone who helped fix my site. I'm sorry I can't give you all a prize. As always, I'm awarding one prize based on a random draw from all the entries. That winner is Andrea Renee (AKA Cre8 of Cre8tive Cre8tions). I'm always pleased when the draw selects someone with many entries. That's certainly the case with Andrea.

Julie Bishop gets a prize for finding my biggest blunder. I had an incorrect link on dozens of pages that she pointed out. It was actually an error in a single file, but since that file showed up on most of the printables it was everywhere!

I'm also awarding a prize to Thor Sheil. Thor wins for helping me with the complicated task of getting all the ratios right in the scale calculator. Visit Thor's sites:

Milihistirot Quarterely: The Journal for Military Miniature Enthusiasts
Army Men Homepage

Finally this year I'm awarding a prize for the other way you can help with this site. Many people have sent in some great donations over the years. But I don't think I've ever been as pleased as I was with Elizabeth Vose's cereal boxes. I think a lot of people don't understand the effort required to keep copyrighted images out of this sort of item. Liz's boxes look like they could have come straight from the store. Thanks Liz!

The prizes this year are 1:12 scale kits donated by Emma Eilbeck of The Craft Pack Company. Please check out the wide variety of dollhouse miniature DIY projects on her site.

********* CONTEST WINNER! 5/23/2004 *********

This year's winner is Jane Thomas! Thanks to everyone who helped fix my site. There were 89 entries this year. Jane happened to have the most with 21 entries and Kelli (last year's winner) had 20. The prize this year was a $20 gift certificate to Who Knows Minis.com.

********* CONTEST WINNER! 7/5/2003 *********

For the second year in a row, the winner is Kelli Brown. Thanks to everyone else who helped. There were only 31 entries this year. Kelli had 13 entries. The prize this year was a free downloadable dollhouse plan from www.DollHouseDesigns.COM.

********* CONTEST WINNER! 5/9/2002 *********

The $10 Amazon.com gift certificate went to Kelli Brown. Thanks to everyone else who helped. There were 57 total entries this year. Kelli had 11 entries.

********* CONTEST WINNER! 5/2/2001 *********

The $15 Who Knows Mini's gift certificate went to Alyssa Nixon. Thanks to everyone else who helped. There were 82 total entries this year. Alyssa had 10, and Wanna (last year's winner) had 34!

********* CONTEST WINNER! 5/15/2000 *********

The $15 gift certificate to Amazon.com went to Wanna in El Paso! Thanks to everyone who helped me find the mistakes on my pages. All told, there were over 120 entries. Please feel free to tell me of any problems you find on my pages. A special "thank you" to Wanna and Julie Bishop; the two of you together had over 60% of the entries.

Finished Contest: How do you use the printables?

********* CONTEST WINNER! 12/9/2000 *********

I picked my four favorite entries for wildly different reasons and selected randomly from them.

The winner of the $10 Amazon.com gift certificate is Donna Beeken's vanity on page 2. I picked this great scene to represent the dollhouse/room box entries. Denby's tag art from page 1 represented the craft/non-mini category. Virginia Wigmore's use of the printables to supplement her commercial product on page 1 earned her a spot. Preble McDaniel's mixing of scales in her secret garden caught my attention.

It was hard to choose a winner. So many of the entries really impressed me. Be sure to check them out in the Gallery!
