    Ma'am God seems to have given all the wisdom in your head and only dung in our head. You are happy in your life and happy in this world. Your life is worthwhile. God bless you. Have a great day.

      Thank you so much. The reason I am always happy is I have Jesus in my heart. My life has not always been what you see on screen but I have always learned how to be content with whatever I have and whatever situation I am in. My prayer for everyone is to always be grateful in ALL things. A grateful heart sees the world differently. God bless you and merry Christmas.

    Hello Miriam, I have been following you now for 2 years, I love your videos! I have a couple of questions, does your Lemax buildings break down a lot? My husband could go into the business for repairing these things. He has a steady supply of the motors and gears that go into them. They are nice, but cheap parts inside of them. Just curious, you have a lot of them. I have been using your videos as a guide to grow my village to 1- 4x8 table and 2 - 4x4 tables, with some room to grow. When do you start taking submissions for your contests each year, you get a lot of great village submissions. I plan on working on my throughout the year this next time. 4 Weeks is not enough time to do what I want to it and learn how to do more elaborate displays like yours. Thank you for taking the time to share all of this with us, I super enjoy learning! Victoria

      Hello Victoria, I have not had one of my Lemax animated pieces break. I do hear a lot of people with this issue though. If you are serious about your husband, I would love to pass your info along to everyone. I know several folks who are looking for someone to fix their pieces.
      I’m so glad you have found my videos helpful to you. I usually accept contest entries between 11/15-12/01 every year. If you would like to do more elaborate displays I would recommend starting 3 months early.

      @@MiriamsManner Hello Miriam, thank you so much for your response, I can't believe that about your Lemax, I bet we have had to replace the motors in probably 6 or 7 of them. I decided I am going to leave my village up in the room it is in now, so I can work on it throughout the year. Hard to work on things you want to perfect , when the houses are all put away, lol. I did my first waterfall using your video last year after Christmas.
      My husband said he is happy to fix a few of them, if you have some friends that need them fixed. By the way your house decorations were amazing this year, you are so creative. Merry Christmas! Sincerely, Victoria

      Of course! We will be doing a book signing in town but she will absolutely sign books if you want to mail it. As a matter of fact, if you want, you can but it off Etsy directly from me, that way you only have to pay for 1 shipping. I have a few copies at my house already. If you want to do that then I will send you a private Etsy link. Email me who you would like the book made out to.
