Lasermom

Thanks Morgan, I love a good excuse to go to the coast, sounds like that would be such a fun trip. and thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

The Oregon City Antique Mall has a small display of minis in the back of the upstairs. The owner of the antique mall is such a nice lady and the place is great. I figure I learned a valuable lesson to research more first before I get so excited and be so impulsive. As for my laser cutting machine. Right now I've been using it for making all sorts of random things from Christmas ornaments to knitting needle guages (I'm an avid knitter). But my machine is huge and can do projects as large as shower glass doors.

Oh and I own my own laser cutting/engraving machine... can't wait to use that to make custom stuff for my house! Definately have grand plans.

Hey everyone. I'm very new and inexperienced. I've been longing to build my own dollhouse for a long time now, tap into my creative side. I was in an antique mall a few days ago and found a whole display of dollhouses and accessories. I made my first expensive mistake! I found a cute dollhouse kit I thought would be unique and special coming from an antique store… yeah right. When I returned home with my package I couldn’t wait to research it online. I quickly discovered that the $80 dollhouse kit I just bought, was a common dollhouse that had been sold at Walmart for $30!!! I was terribly disappointed. Since the antique store doesn’t take returns I’m just going to have to make the best of it. So here I am, dying to make this a great house anyways. I have really big dreams for my little Orchid and reading some of your forum posts I think I will learn a lot from all of you and hopefully enjoy this new adventure and end up with my “dream house”.
