Unboxing August’s Mystery Prize!

One of the things I love most about this community is how it keeps growing, the amazing vibe we have, and how much we support each other :face_holding_back_tears: . And the fact that @Robotime offers such awesome prizes just for being active members of the community still blows my mind!

So, with lots of excitement, let me show you the August Mystery Prize: this gorgeous Sakura Garden! As you can see, even the box itself is adorable. It starts with the white sleeve, die, cut in the same style as the DIY miniature houses, and then the box inside, shades of pink and dedicated to the exclusive Nanci included in the kit. Is just stunning!!!

Here’s a little peek inside: right on top you find the instructions, the Nanci in her box, and all the little bags with the kit’s components. Pay close attention to the detail: the fabric patterns, the sakura tree leaves, and even the paints included for some of the pieces!

As you can see, this is not a click-together kit, but more like the older ones. Which means… here we go again with my fingers glued together with superglue, yay! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

For now (since I’ll be focusing first on Elsa’s Tailoring, which I’m really looking forward to), I’ve left my new Nanci visiting her new friend at the Tea House.

So, what do you think of this kit? Doesn’t it look absolutely beautiful? I’ll be sharing the process once I start building it, and since it comes with paints, I have a feeling my creative side might take over… :smirking_face:

I have to confess I’m not a big fan of pink, but… these Sakura kits and Nanci are just too cute for me :see_no_evil_monkey:

Thank you!! I think I’m going to start brainstorming what needs to be painted and how to do it. That way, when I get started, I’ll already have a clear idea :smirking_face:

You are welcome! I’d love to see a photo of two Sakura Houses placed side by side—what kind of feeling would that create? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I’m mind-blowing :scream::cherry_blossom::sparkles: it’s simple gorgeous! The box itself is marvelous but that’s only the start. The Nanci, the build, the colors :star_struck: I’m in love with it!

@Robotime is so generous with the community :pleading_face::heart_hands:

Right?? You can really feel all the care that went into it, starting from the outside. I’m going to enjoy it so much… :face_holding_back_tears:

I haven’t built it yet, it arrived just yesterday :see_no_evil_monkey:
If you mean the little Tea House, it only took me a few hours to put together. In case you’re curious, I shared it in detail with some tips along the way here: 👍 [Quality Post] Spring Sakura Banquet Build Diary – Day 1 Progress 🌸

They really are!!! I’m amazed by the details. Yesterday I was going through the bags without actually starting to build anything yet, and I was already drooling :see_no_evil_monkey::joy:
