Colleen's Dollhouse Reveal

So remember that dollhouse project from a few months back?  It's finally finished!

This is the second dollhouse I've made.  My first venture into dollhousing (besides when I was a youngin') was last year. If you'll recall, this dollhouse remodel is for a friend's daughters for Christmas.  Yes- that's right you've been reading a blog by a real-life Santa's Elf.  A bet you didn't know that Santa hires bloggers, artists and entrepreneurs from all over the world to help him get toys to good little girls (and boys).  Well he does.

Anyways...


No more waiting, here it is.  (Scroll to end to see what I made, remodeled and purchased.)
