Now... while I truley despise the idea of thinking about Christmas before Thanksgiving, . . . this year, it is a must. I swore as soon as I had the space to do it, I was going to get more thrifty and more crafty with my Holiday plans. I truely believe that so much more thought goes into a handmade gift than a department store bargain. Now... don't go giving me any Martha Stuart awards. I have no intention of going all out and hand-making everything. I'm going to mix it up with custom design gift baskets and such.
With thrifty shopping in the past, I have created better gift baskets than I could have bought... and for cheap in comparison to buying the pre-designed model.
So throughout my holiday planning, I intend to post the best and most creative of ideas as I stumble upon them. Doesn't mean I will be giving all of them... some are just too much work... but if it's something I think is interesting, I'm going to share it with you so that you too may participate in an enjoyable "Money's tight" Holiday season.
That being said... this is the idea I've stumbled upon today. For those of you with girly-girl daughters, grand-daughters, nieces, etc. this is by far totally awesome!! And it's only going to cost you some common household items and packaging bound for the dumpster... oh yeah... and TIME... lots.. and LOTS... of TIME!! Honestly I like this project much better as a "JUST BECAUSE WE WANT TO HAVE FUN" present. It'd be a blast to do with the kids.
Brought to you by the wonderful FAMILY FUN magazine...
I bring you the PERFECT (aka totally creative and wonderfully imaginative) DOLLHOUSE... I had to add to the name because I am a very very creative and crafty person (comes from growing up POOOOOR!)... and I am in awe at the detail and creativeness in these 6 PAGES of detailed instructions!! A MUST SEE!!!
