Most of mine aren't built yet either and when I commented to DH recently that I had to get a Brimbles & a Rosedale, he asked me what I needed any more kits for when I already have so many, and I explained to him (quite patiently I might add) that I was planning for my retirement! :)

I only have 2!

1. My Glencroft which is in the process of finishing (still needs doors, windows and touchups with paint AND some interior work. Let's not forget the front yard and fence!)

2. My Earth and Tree "English Pub" shell which is my New Age shop, completed, but always adding stuff to it.

Can I count the one I just bid on eBay recently and hope to win???

Oh, neat, this is great--it's like going to a support group! Suddenly the 'addiction' isn't so bad when you hear other peoples stories!!

Ok here they are...

In progress...

Tiffany (rehab--taking 5 years?!!)

Duracraft Bellingham Farmhouse (shell assembled)

Loganberry Mill/Spring Fling (changed to Summer Spree and at the rate I am going will most likely be Autumn Affair)

Shadybrook Cabin

Duracraft --small house, can't remember the name has circular staircase, small porch & single dormer

Patiently waiting in the box...

2 Corona travel trailers (one for me, one for my sis)

Brimbles Mercantile (old version)

Westville

Glencroft

Buttercup

Adams

Brookwood

One of those unfinished prebuilt hinged kids houses

A few of these were gifts given to me... I have decided to put Brimby & the Adams (neither were gifts) up for sale in our mini club garage sale next month so I can get one of the following...

Wish List...

Rosedale

Chantilly

Storybook Cottage

Tappy

This is so great! It'll make it easier to try to find some of these houses by looking at people's galleries, the gallery search doesn't pull enough of them up!

I should add to my with list:

The Glencliff (I'll have to buy the plans, which will fit the budget better)

The Chantilly

I'm kind of reaching critical mass, so I'll have to be very choosy about future acquisitions.

I'm much the same as Deana (chesterfieldzoo). At last count I had 83 kits in boxes but this past few months, I've purchased so many more. I would venture to guess it's close to 3 digits by now.

I have kept most of the dollhouses I've built other than the Brimbles Flower Shop went to Missy, my DD. The Harrison went to my oldest g/daughter, Areal and the McKinley went to Cory (my youngest g/daughter) for when she is older.

Okay - so here is my list - don't know if I've forgotten anything or not - possibly missed some of the smaller items.

Finished:

Rehabs 1+2: 1 Sweetheart (for the kids to play with)

Rehab #3 completed: the Sweetheart (decided to recreate it into a faux Tudor)

2009 Spring Fling - The M.A.R.S. Observatory and Planetarium

2 mini 2009 Spring Fling participation prizes

Working on:

The gigantic 1 Garfield, 1 Orchid, 2 Primrose and 1 Conservatory family mansion bash,

2 Spring Fling 2008 kits that are becoming the Viking Bike Yard

The Alexandria

Twinkle is working on 1 Primrose bash and 6 sets of GL furniture.

Still in boxes:

The 1 Vineyard and 1 Westville to be bashed together

1 Corona village set

1 Greenleaf village set

1 Creekside Cabin

1 Shadybrook Cabin

1 more Primrose

1 Wildwood Stable

1 Storybook Cottage

1 not-so-Haunted house

Also a big Pumpkin house project

1 Harrison

1 Glencroft

The HBS/Ernies Gazebo (for the contest)

The ingredients for the Stick Build contest

The ingredients for the RGT room box contest

I also have 8 of the Michaels puzzle houses (mine were only $4 each so I couldn't resist). One grand is creating a county fair entry, another is making an army battalion out of his and another is making a girly house.

Plus I have ten sets of the puzzle furniture.

Plus many, many of the Michaels birdhouses such as the log cabin, church, barn, castle tower, adobe house, pirate ship, outhouse, several styles of gazebos (circular ones), etc. etc. The grands practice on some of these plus I use them as extensions to other things. Also have the Michaels things like CD house look units.

Can't remember any more right now but I do have a mile long wish list that would take an entire post all of it's own !!!!

I've got 4: A mansion with lovely big rooms, but I use it as a coffee table and storage space for RL seasonal stuff. The Mornington Mews bash, all finished. The Willows, nearly done inside, outside needs some more work, and the Franklin which is in dry fit at the moment, but is being bashed considerably.

As I'm doing each house I think 'this is the best, I'm keeping this', but then I get towards the end and think, na, don't need to keep it! So far they're all still here, cause I haven't gotten around to attempting to sell them. But quickly running out of space, so will have to do something!

Also done some smaller scenes: Pharmacy, Christmas Book scene, couple Pet tin scenes, Pub in a tin, Mummy's Conservatory (and garden) and working on a pharmacy shadow box now.

I'm with Wendy and Deana..........there are too many in the box to count. I've got a double closet in my studio that's packed floor to ceiling, both work tables have kits stacked to the top underneath them, and under my king size bed as well as the queen size in the guest room are all packed full. On display in the house are: Pierce (victorian), Willowcrest (second empire social salon), Beacon Hill (victorian), Aster (Emerald faerie cottage), Wise Ways Emporium, Orchid (witch's house), Glencroft (wizard's house), Storybook Cottage (C'es Si Bon french cafe), Magnolia (bachelor's house), White Orchid, Houseboat (Grim Reaper's party boat), Museum, Coventry Cottage (Japanese Edo period house), Adams (ghost town stage stop) and the Haunted House (librarian's cottage).

The half scale lighthouse is partially finished and that's a keeper. The Fairfield is in dry fit and it's going to be a Rose Red type of house. The Tennyson will be joining those on display soon and the ones on the list to complete and keep are: Brookwood (art deco house), Harrison (magician's house), two contest kits (southwestern pueblo), McKinley (modern), Vineyard Cottage (two bashed into a gothic cathedral), and a Madison and Adams bash (my grandparent's home place).

I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting at least a few that are on the list to build and keep but between a serious lack of sleep and a lot of pain killers, I can't remember what they are.

I've always had a goal to build at least one of every house that Greenleaf and Corona Concepts make. As they keep adding more houses, that's getting to be more and more of a delightful challenge.
