My daughter's surprise Christmas present for 2017. A Quick Build Imagination Doll House kit I had picked up a few years ago from a Home Depot for less than $60. Finally got around to building it for her.

This house was a Christmas present from my parents in 2012. I have just recently come to a place that I can work on it and since I am renting and have limited space, I made a promise that to myself and my husband that I would have only one large scale dollhouse in this new home and the Holly Ann was it.

OK...so this is my Christmas present for 2010. I am so excited about this kit. I have plans to bash it, moving/adding chimineys, extension on the side for a seperate kitchen and extension over front door. I found a picture of a house online that looked similar and using Paint, I cut and pasted till I found a setup I like and will be aiming for. Not sure about those colors but at least it'll be a start. Now I just have to wait...I'm on countdown...

I am doing this kit through the kit of the month offer with insomesmallway.com and I love it! The house comes complete with baseboards, crownmoulding, working and non-working doors and plexiglass for the windows. When I opened the box I was amazed at the details that were included with the kit and how easily it goes together. It's a work in progress still but I am enjoying every step...

Here is my front opening Gloucester. I was looking at this house for months. I wanted a front opening like the ones in England but couldn't afford them for the life of me. When I saw the price and that they weren't making anymore I grabbed it up.

This little kit screamed Christmas house the first time I saw it. So with that in mind I began getting ideas of things that I remember from my childhood Christmas's. I didn't have Grandparents near enough to actually spend Christmas with so this house is half wish for that and half memories of Christmas with my parents. As they are now grandparents I am dedicating this house to them and the memories that they helped create each year. From the Christmas Albums that would play while my mother baked cookies, to the specials airing on tv and the decorations that filled the house.

Here is the Creatology Puzzle House with Veranda that I bashed into a nice dollhouse. The wood was really nice and with some adjustments and new windows looks like it was made from a true dollhouse kit rather than a 3D puzzle.

This is an album of Minis I have created from a one room Irish Cottage to 1/144 scale houses, and other things.
