Finding stuff to do...

And this is what we did...

A bookshelf decorated by a toddler turned doll house by Mom
(I saw the idea in land of nod)
AND
A box of oatmeal turned into a headband holder
(thanks pinterest--not as well done, but good enough)

                                    before I remembered I had a glue gun...

we don't have a lot of headbands, so we used a small box, larger are available


 For lack of motivation to move these pictures up, here are close ups of the bookshelf. 
(Ava also drew some artwork) 
We had so much fun.  Only problem, I got so serious about it Ava lost interest
and naturally didn't want to play with it after we were done.  ha  We did today though!

Would you mind coming to find stuff to do at my house? I need a hallway stripped and refinished, lots of cabinets removed, refinished, and put back, more walls painted, a dresser fixed up and again, refinished.
Anytime, I will take you. :)

Kidding. I saw a photo sometime of a dollhouse idea similar to this. I LOVE IT! I really do. It is SO neat. Is this something Ava plays with often or one thing you wish she would? :) Anyway, I applaud you. I WISH I HAD IT. But I have to know about the furniture and stuff inside. Did you use wallpaper, decals, material? And the little stuff looks like what I'd find on moolka.com - is that it?

Anyway, jealous here. Love it.
Send your energy this way please.

Love!!

ha...i had extra don't want to play anymore energy. ;-) I did it all with scrapbook paper, and yes, the furniture is from moolka.com Ava kind of plays with it, but I'm sure like your house, there our SO MANY FREAKIN' toys no one gets played with all the time.

i saw this in a magazine, which was way better, but it works for us and it was so fun to do for her. i just taped things up, so it's not permanent, and Ava is able to rearrange.

Maybe I should make this my new job. I have had a few people ask me to come do it for them. I could use some money to buy more clothes for myself. hehehe
