This blogging thing is new to me, so you'll have to bear with me.  It has been a long, life changing year.  My sister Nancy mentioned that we should get a doll house kit and build it.  I thought it would be fun to try and blog the progress along the way.

We looked a couple of places in town and didn't find anything so on a recent trip to Sioux Falls, we stopped in the Hobby Lobby store.  Not only did they have one I liked, they took a 60% off coupon via Nancy's Ipad!

So we got the box home and it took both of us to get it to the basement.  We decided to set up a table near the windows so we have the natural light in the day and can see outside.  It is a pleasant place to work but out of the way from everyday living.

The dollhouse has a name.  It is called Victoria's Farmhouse and comes from a company called Real Good Toys.  Here is a link to their website with a picture of the dollhouse:

The first work day was inventory.  There are so many little parts in the box, each one had to be labeled and checked off.  It was a good thing we did it, too, because we were missing a piece of the trim.  It was a good lesson not to skip steps, or try to hurry the process.  The next thing I learned from this...Real Good Toys made good on their promise.  I called them on a Monday with the missing part number and it came in the mail right away.  I think it was here on Wednesday.

Next post, I'll put up some pictures.
