We bought her a new carseat yesterday, so I used the box it came in to make her a house! I sort of threw it together, and I plan on adding lots more... but its got curtains, awnings, a door & door handle... I used an old shirt (penguin print) for curtains & awnings... also another old shirt duct taped down on the floor for carpet... then i decorated the inside with pictures of mommy & daddy & Diella... as well as cut up some old birthday and christmas cards for decorations on the inside... also quickly drew a nightstand with lamp & a quick bed, with headboard & footboard... there's also flowers & little animals along with bottom on the outside for some pretty landscaping & some company! hehe... she hasnt seen it finished yet, she's napping... hope she likes it! .... since these pictures were taken, I've added alot... I found some a bag of old stickers and i used them everywhere! Animals outside, hearts & happy faces on the inside... little round ones along the top edge to look like christmas lights only not Christmas, hehe.... I drew a tree and tire swing on there & had these little tin leaf things that i hooked onto it... I drew a couch & a clock on the side, oh and made a sign that says Diella's Room, and drew a shelf with a stereo on it, so she's got some tunes :) Found some Power Puff Girls folders that I cut up and added on there. There are stars and a moon on the roof outside, but then I ran outta tape, so I had to draw instead of finishing with my attatching things... I drew a mailbox, and window sills, flowers, and even a pumpkin patch! (had pumpkin stickers)... then i drew a big darn & cow on the back of the house... I went nuts! I've learned that sometimes less is more, and this is NOT one of those times when I abided by that lesson, hehe. There are like 10 photos of it on my MySpace page (link in listed on homepage of my blog)... and they were taken since i've added all that new stuff...
