It has begun...Year of the Dollhouse

Ok, today we worked hard on the dollhouse. We worked for about 4 hours. We put on a primer coat on all the outside pieces and trim. We also stained all the shingles, and sealed them.

The other day Mouse and I worked hard on picking out colors for the house. We traced the house on tracing paper, and then colored it with the selected colors. Today, while at Lowe's, I browsed the returned paint section. I found small sample cans of the exact colors we were looking for. These sample cans are usually 3.98 each, we paid 50 cents to a dollar. It was a real bargain and a blessing.

Mouse and I had fun talking and visiting while we painted and sanded the pieces. I can tell that this is going to be a very special time for us.

My batteries are dead in my camera right now, but I will post our progress soon.
