Sharing Our Miniatures

Lisa Thompson-Dobo

President

My passion for tiny things spans my lifetime. I remember making tiny houses from boxes as a child. I've been collecting and creating miniature things since I was very young. There is something so uniquely wonderful about miniatures that makes my heart so happy especially antique items! I'm an avid restorer of antique Dollhouses!

Liliane Viens

Vice President

I’ve always enjoyed any type of crafting, but never really care for anything I made beyond having fun making it. Once, I tried making a gender neutral dollhouse for my son’s stuffies, it really triggered something in me. In miniature, I can own a beach front mansion or be a mouse living the great life inside someone’s walls. It became soothing to my mental health, and I found a community that I really enjoy getting to know and spend time with.

Kyla Shegelski

Secretary

Kyla first became interested in miniatures while visiting her cousin in Montreal - she had decorated her bookshelves with miniature food and Kyla was inspired to try making her own out of polymer clay. Since joining MEE in 2015, Kyla has expanded her interests to all things miniature and has been truly inspired by the more experienced members of the club.

Tina MacDonald

Workshop Coordinator

Tina has been involved with miniatures ever since her husband bought her a dollhouse on their honeymoon, in 1976. She sells her miniature kits on Etsy, and is responsible for organizing 8 workshops per year for MEE. You can contact her through the email link above.

Lucille Lalonde

Treasurer

I have been a member of the club since 2007 and I have served in various positions in the club during that time. I recently retired and now I plan to spend my additional spare time working on many miniature projects that are UFOs. I work in 1:12 and 1:48 and a few 1:144. My favourite mini crafts include any type of miniature stitching such as rugs, and working with fabric such as upholstery, curtains, and dressing dolls. My picture is my first doll from a class in 2010 and still my favourite.

Technical Services

Maureen went by a Dollhouse Shop on her honeymoon in 1983. In 1987, Maureen joined the Miniauture Enthusiasts of Edmonton club and has enjoyed the hobby and all of the friendly miniaturists who share their knowledge and skills since then. Maybe I was inspired by my 7 yr old favorite Disney ride.
