Wow all of the interior items have already sold out!! 😮 Thank you so much for all who purchased! The PDF packet is still available on my website if you are interested or want to contribute towards the donation to Ronald McDonald House Charities. I will wait for 2 weeks to make the donation so you still have time to purchase one if you would like to😊
That's awesome!! Everyone Loves you and your creations! I Love everything about this house ! The story was so touching,I Loved it and the music in the background made it more magical! Thank You for sharing your talents with us!! Hugs from Lancaster, Pa.
Thank you for the chance to purchase your minis! I love the dragon and living room set. They arrived just in time to bring some cheer to a very trying week.
Whow I just loved the poem. It is so fitting and speaks to my heart. I started this project a year ago with you and in it I have found contentment in the havoc the pandemic has caused on my life. Our whole household loves the little cardboard house and it has brought so much joy to our home.Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Thank you so much for this comment💖 It really means a lot to me and I have felt this whole thing to be such a community project! Which has been so fulfilling in a year of isolation!
Yes please, would love to see a series on recycled materials projects. I'm always so inspired by how inventive you are at creating something out of, well, trash. ♻️ 🗑
Thank you so much for showing my work. I made a mouse house that is now on display for a charity that helps people with mental health. I love your cardboard house, can't wait for your next projects
I am in agreement with many others in the comments . This needs to be a story book. The story is wonderful, teaching contentment in whatever circumstance the world has given you.
Awesome charity choice. I live in England and 15 years ago, when my newborn daughter was close to dying, the gave my partner a place to stay, while the hospital far away saved her life. Xx
I am so glad to hear they were able to help you during that time. As a parent myself I can only imagine what that would have been like if you weren't able to be close to her! That was another reason I was glad to chose this charity... I know they are worldwide and not just in the US.
That poem was so enchanting and it gave a lot of credence to your house and her story. Each piece has such personality! That poem was touching and brought a tear to my eye. I love your projects, Ara! You bring joy to us all💕
Congratulations on finishing this project...including a rhyming story. You are very talented and how lovely that you sold all of your furniture and donated to charity. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. 🌷
The charity you choose was a wonderful choice, they helped out my parents when I was born, as I was a very early baby, three months early in fact, and quite sickly. The provided my Mother with a place to live while was in the hospital for the first 6 months of my life. They also helped out my family and me when I was diagnosed with the same chronic illness that my father has, when I was a teen.
Was it that long ago?!! 🤔 Time flies doesn't it? This delightful fairytale series was absolutely awesome, Ara. 😘 Amazing. (Love, loved the very important recycling aspect). It's important to be reminded that we don't have to spend a fortune to be creative. Thanks for that. ❤️
I am so happy about that message too!! I think sometimes when people first look into minis they see all the expensive bits. I think its great that it can be accessible to all!
Dear Ara, I truly believe that you should be a writer, including audiobook. I loved the story! There's love, hope, and a life lesson in it. Amazing... So great for children. And thank you so much for being kind to show my way too simple work! Filled me with a lot of joy to see it in your video! Made me feel special, and part of a group who could understand my soul! 🥰🤗
The story was phenomenal! I'm thinking and scratching my head... Why doesn't she publish this a book on cardboard houses, dragons, dog- dragons and Fairies! It's a perfect series for a children's book! And I can't wait to see the captains quarters and your new series! And just food for thought and don't even know what made me think of it but an Ara Bentley bloops and Blunders video would be neat. I guess I thought of it because of your sense of humor and the fact that nearly all of your videos are flawless in my opinion. Love what you do!
The telescope is fantastic. Using supplies available from in your house is a real inspiration for those of us who often have tiny budgets and resources, and feel limited when creating projects.
Your story should be published ! I cried as it reminded me so much of my sis , brother and I . Your house and dolls are wonderful illustrations . Just wonderful!! ❤❤❤,
Tellement touchant de voir des photos de certains de tes admirateurs qui ont essayé tout comme moi de faire tes réalisations ! Que dire de ton télescope ...GÉNIAL ! ! ! Merci tu es vraiment inspirante !
Ara your poem was AMAZING! You have an incredible talent for story telling! All your projects reflect who you are and I am so glad l found your channel! I’m so happy you took a few days to relax and post this video on your own time. A happy Ara is what we truly want!😉
Thank you so much Robin! That really means a lot to me. Knowing how special this project was to me and others I didn't want rush the final video at all.
Ara, this has been quite a journey. As I watched the cardboard projects, I couldn't help but imagine how proud you were to see all the artists you've inspired. I love watching you transform household junk into beautiful miniatures. Beautiful house, beautiful poem, and beautiful heart - you're great!
They have all inspired me as well!!! Having the feeling that this was a group project that we were all working on really got me through this past year💖 Thank you LuccaAce 💖
Ahhh. Your story/poem brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. I don't know exactly why, but I found it very touching. I love the house and everything in it, and I also enjoyed seeing the things others created!
I can't believe that its been so long since this series started. I am sad to see it end, but so excited to see you continue working on the Captain's Quarters. I really enjoyed the poem and how it tied together everything! Can't wait to see what you do next!
The poem was just perfect for such an amazing cardboard fairy house! ... You did such a wonderful job on all of it! Congratulations on selling out your furniture; what a generous thing to do. I enjoyed seeing everyone else's houses ... great job to all!
What a beautiful poem! If you can publish it! I would have one copy happily! Loved the cardboard house series and all your videos! Congrats to all who created cardboard projects too!❤️
Ok. I've finished re-watching the cardboard dollhouse series, I've obtained a tub of drywall compound, and I still haven't recycled our huge pile of old moving boxes. I've got blueprints drawn out, and a clean craft table. After watching your channel for years and being perpetually inspired, it's finally time. I'm gonna build a dollhouse. Thanks, Ara. 🥰
This was awesome! You def need to put a book together with your builds and photos and stories! And so glad you chose the Ronald McDonald House charity- that hits home as well. You should share your poem with pictures for the families at your local Ronald McDonald House! And a link to this video! You and your talent and heart are so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to do that! What a great idea! I am not sure what kind of restrictions there are at the moment but it would be amazing to get personally involved with RMHC. Thank you my friend!💖
I still think this looks like the Witch’s house in the Enchanted Forest Series! (See previous comment on last cardboard house vid) Can hardly wait for the next Cardboard house!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love everything about this house! The story turned out so perfect! And the fact that Miss Periwinkle will continue to do magic helping little kids, makes me even happier! I can't wait for the next projects!
That story is lovely, so very heartwarming, and such a perfect finale to an awesome project. I agree with the many comments saying that you should publish it as a book. While watching that segment, I kept thinking it would make for a superb children's book with the poem and the cute photos.
What an amazing project! It is so unique and beautiful and intriguing. Your attention to detail is extrardinary. I love all the accessories you made - so imaginative. It is awesome you are using this project as inspiration for a charitable donation. I'm sure you raised a goodly amount. You have so much patience and goodwill. I look forward to viewing your other playlists and current videos. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely brilliant! The story began to tug my heart. I felt like I was watching a play the talent you have is a pure gift. Thank you so much for sharing...
Teaching my seven year old daughter about the 3 Rs. Reduce reuse recycle. What a beautiful way to recycle things we would've viewed as garbage back in the day. Fantastic work 😍
Well this whole thing has been amazing. Your poem story was just wonderful; never doubt yourself! I think this is an absolutely inspired series because it brings miniature making down to an available level for everyone. It levels the playing field for complete newbies who have no fancy equipment or tools as well as inspires more experienced makers to 'think outside the box' (excuse the pun) a little when looking for supplies. So you're making everyone Think INSIDE the box 🤣 Seeing everyone's pieces that they've created was incredible to see: YOU did that, YOU I aspired them and got them creating. You are a gift to the world my dear, with nice nails 🤣🤣
Wow thank you so much for this kind comment💖 This project brought such a sense of community to me as we all worked together and its definitely what I needed this past year! 🤗 Love that.... thinking inside the box lol!!
What a lovely poem. You are an amazing story teller and you should publish all of yours in a book. I have enjoyed this project so much because of its simplicity and the use of inexpensive materials, making it achievable to create for all. Last I want to say -Wow! to Nathalie M for creating such an incredible cardboard ship.
WOW, for not being too concerned witn the details, this came out exceptionally adorable. I am refering to the telescope, but the whole project is awesome.

And now she's a poet. Your talent is never-ending.
😄 With the generous help of rhymer(dot)com and a thesaurus😉 So glad you enjoyed it!
@@BentleyHouseMinis You don't need to tell all of your secrets. LOL
Ara is amazing! I love her talents and her videos!
That would make a brilliant story book
I agree... so interesting
Please continue

That is amazing Zoe! Thank you for passing on the love with your miniatures💖
Zoe, thanks for showing what you made. You did a great job!
I've got a crazy idea... wouldn't it be fun if you try to recreate frank'n'furter's castle from the cult movie "the rocky horror picture show"???
I am in agreement with many others in the comments . This needs to be a story book. The story is wonderful, teaching contentment in whatever circumstance the world has given you.
That little story poem was super sweet, you really should publish it in book format ❤️
Thank you! I am thinking about it!😉

LOVE the poem. Please write a book...
Your poem is delightful. You should turn it into a children's book :-).

Lol!! A bloopers video would be really fun!!! Thanks for the idea :)
Loved the poem. I admire your commitment to finish a project. I have so much unfinished stuff!
Thank you! It is so hard to finish a project and call something done because I know I could forever mess with things and change them around lol!
The telescope is fantastic. Using supplies available from in your house is a real inspiration for those of us who often have tiny budgets and resources, and feel limited when creating projects.
I am so glad you have enjoyed it! I def think miniatures should be accessible to everyone!
Your story should be published ! I cried as it reminded me so much of my sis , brother and I . Your house and dolls are wonderful illustrations . Just wonderful!! ❤❤❤,

Thank you John!! I pulled the Captains Quarters out today to assess what I need to do lol... it's been a while!
I see I’m not the only one to think this would make a lovely storybook! Wonderful project 💚
Ohh please more and more cardboard minis. 😊😊👍
I absolutely LOVED your background story. I never would have guessed that all the creatures were siblings!!!
Thank you!!💖
Great idea to repurpose and love that you will be helping charity with it. Thanks for sharing!
