My princess and I had a date to play dolls tonight, but when I went around to find her she was asleep. She needs to rest since she’s been sick, so I tucked her into bed. I decided to make something for her — a chimney cupboard! She’ll also have some new dolls tomorrow, as I stepped into a local toy store today and could not resist a family of wooden dolls.
The chimney cupboard is made of match boxes. (They are great for making furniture.) Each drawer has a different little button for the drawer pull.
The doll family admires the beautiful veneer on one side of the cupboard…
and then the other side. It is actually a few pieces of paper cut from some scrapbook material I have, glued into place and then covered with a coat of mod podge.
But what’s this?
It’s a little letter for my darling!
What does it say?
We’re rowing Roxaboxen right now and my daughter just loved our first reading of it tonight. This little letter will be a fun “find” for her tomorrow while I am at work. Her dolls can play Roxaboxen.
They’ll need the pretty treasure.
Happy rowing and happy doll house playing,
Lynn

Lynn you are so cool! Tell me where you get all these match boxes.
I guess that laptop is really working for you or haven’t you given up your computer yet?

The laptop is fine. The keyboard on it is so much smaller, so I’m not used to it, but I did find out after spending the first day on it that my HP Image Zone was on here, so that’s cool. I still don’t have any of my webpages to work with or my other photo editing software, but this will get me through the next few days. My computer is still in the shop. I just hope it’s keepable.

PS – I buy match boxes regularly from Wal-Mart or the Dollar Tree. We keep them around to light our gas furnaces and the candles we use, so there’s always a plenteous supply of match boxes.

Those dolls are precious!
