That they are! Lol

I'll have to check into that. Thanks!

I'm sure I will once I get more comfortable with it! My son is dying to get his hands on it lol I'm sure he can control it better than I can! He's only 12 but he's definitely stronger than me. Still, I'm a worry wart when it comes to my kids so I haven't let him yet.

One thing is for sure though- there have definitely been many lessons learned! Lol the next build will surely go smoother! Surely... Lol

It's the outside that I'm struggling with. we're painting it fire engine red. Oh and btw- Alyssa has changed her mind AGAIN lol we are back to a pet shop! This kid... Lol

I'll try sanding and spackling more. Some of them are darker and some are lighter than the rest. Just depends if it's spackle or wood showing. And some I'm not worried about because trim work will be covering it anyway. I'll keep trying though! I'm not one to give up easily lol but sometimes I just have to walk away before I'm tempted to smash it haha

Holly I got the Wen rotary tool. It came in early (Thursday) and I've tinkered with it a bit. I tried out different attachments on scrap wood. I must admit, it's a bit terrifying at first! Lol I'm not sure how much I'll actually use it now that I have it... I have arthrogryposis (bone and joint disease) and as a result from that, i don't have very steady hands so it can be difficult to use at times. However, I was able to quickly even out some edges and make a few tabs flush. That in itself made it worth buying! It would have taken me a lot longer to do by hand and my arthritis would have been very angry by the time I got that done! Lol

Try as I might, I just can't figure it out I'm sure it would help if I were at peat a little bit crafty lol but I'm not. I've got no experience and this is quite frustrating! Everything else looks good so far. Everything except the tabs... I thought spackle and paint would do it but nope what am I doing wrong!? Grrr

I ordered it Friday but it won't be here until Monday Sanding by hand is for the birds! Haha And I've never had so many tiny splinters! And I do mean tiny ha So for now, we are at a stand still. Kind of works out for the best though because we have been super busy. And it's not slowing down until next week... Between my son's band commitments and Alyssa's cheer, this mama will be worn out! Happy building y'all!

Thanks Holly! I love all of yours lol and the library/magazine ideas! She would live at the library lol

That is a neat idea! I bet it is beautiful!

I don't think I've ever seen the torn paper.. I'll have to look that up. Sounds interesting! thanks!

Thanks so much y'all! These are great ideas And Selkie, it WAS a bakery. Before that it was going to be a pet shop lol but now she wants a house instead. She's probably going to change her mind again before we get done... possibly more than once! I'm just along for the ride haha
