Should have started sooner...

So, I've decided to create a blog about the dollhouse that Shea and I are slowly creating- mostly for Annie Ertel. We've had such a good time doing creating this doll house, and it has been such a hit with all Shea's friends, that I want to have a place to show it off. I'm a show-off, plain and simple. Plus Annie wants to see pictures. And I want to make Annie happy.
We started this project about 6 months ago when we moved to Columbia for a two year stint teaching. I promised Shea then, when faced with the dilemma of what toys to pack when we needed space for other things, that we would create this dollhouse. She left behind various and assorted Barbie houses, Fairy houses, Little Pet Shop Sets, My Little Pony sets- the big things simply couldn't come. Not when we needed sheets. The idea, we'd make this dollhouse out of things that were available, and just pitch it when it was time to come back to the States.
Therefore we searched her room for things that were small and would work for furnishings, packed some Pets, and Barbies, and a LaLaLoopsie or two, and away we went. After a week or two we were ready to start...
