This is Emma with her most cherished present. She has been coveting this dollhouse for months. She loved visiting it every time we went near the antique store where she discovered it. She was stunned to find it waiting for her on her birthday. Of course, in true mini-me style, she immediately asked if we could paint the inside and put paper on the walls and get carpet for it. I didn't really consider what a money pit this house would be. I'd love any suggestions on where to shop for reasonably priced little things to turn this house into a sweet cottage for Emma.


The party was a hit but I have to say, I couldn't have done it without Martha. Eight girls in their pj's making button bracelets and paper bead necklaces, eating pizza, decorating cupcakes, playing twister, chowing down on popcorn while tucked into their sleeping bags watching I Carly. They were wonderful.

Even the decorations were courtesy of Martha. Flower pom poms hanging from the ceiling combined with paper flowers created an enchanted garden feeling even while the snowflakes fell.

I'm a bit relieved that it's over so that I can move on to other projects. Parties at home are such work, but worth it when you have a little girl that appreciates them as much as this one does. She's such a thankful kid.

By the way, Thank you! Your votes counted and I went with haircut #1. It took a little adjusting to, but I love it. I'll post pics soon!
