eveningstargazer Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Your mom will love her Mother's Day gift. The Orchid is such a pretty house--so many ways to complete it. Congratulations!! Don't you just love babies? Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuppa-Tea Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Congratulations! How wonderful... boys are great! I have so much fun with mine. And he is brainwashed to love dollhouses, too. I figure that will last until about Kindergarten, when he figures out it's "girl stuff", but I'm enjoying it while it lasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I would post some pics but I'm having a time getting them to downloadI finally figured out how to resize mine in our "Paint" program so they load better, my problem was that they were too big (too many pixels). this seems to be the year for grandbabies!

darrellandmelissa Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have so much fun with mine. And he is brainwashed to love dollhouses, too. I figure that will last until about Kindergarten, when he figures out it's "girl stuff", but I'm enjoying it while it lasts I would not be to sure about him loosing intrest. My son is almost 17 and has asked me to build him a castle. Also last night he brought 4 friends over to play on the Wii game system. Right now I only have the in progress Garfield in the house on a table. He told all of his friends about all of my house and bragged to them that they even had electricity and the lights lit up. Your son may pretend to not like them and suprise you one day and become a miniaturist himself. Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newt Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 hi, Peachie, great to hear from you, as always. i love that photo in the avatar - she's been there before, hasn't she? i'm glad Jen asked-- and thank you for sharing her puppy story. my Katz help keep me from feeling too much like an Empty Nester, so i sure can relate about Meka. hey, you made the photo attachment work! those colors and windows are going to make the house look really warm and pretty. :wub: What a GREAT surprise gift, your mother will be so pleased and honored. your work, and everyone's comments here are encouraging me to think more about getting an Orchid. i've been holding out for Lily, but maybe ..... and-- happy new nephew!!!! it sounds as though he'll have a throng of admirers. i know you'll enjoy spoiling him. babies are such joy. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniDoxLuvr Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I finally figured out how to resize mine in our "Paint" program so they load better, my problem was that they were too big (too many pixels). :wub: this seems to be the year for grandbabies! Aww congrats! I had my grandbaby last september (LOL well my daughter did that is! )....it was hard for me in a way as I turned 40 AND became a grandma in the same year! Talk about future shock! Yes, I am a young grandma. LOL I had my duaghter at 20 and she had her daughter at 21. God I love that kid tho! She is awesome! She is walking and starting to talk..well more like jibber jabber but that is okay cuz that is all I do too most of the time LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 cj, I have a Lily I want to build after the Willowcrest & Newberg. The Orchid was a nice build. Why nnot do both? (not necessarily at the same time, of course!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newt Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 ginger -- isn't it all so wonderful!?! it's such a marvel, watching and sharing the journey. peachie, you'll have such a grand time cuddling and playing with the new little one, wheee! havana -- no worries. i'm saving for the Lily so a diversion would delay things further. but i'll get there, i'm just infatuated with Lily and will get to meet that house one day. i'm hoping that the tax refund fairies will be kind.

Anna Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 First, congratulations on your new little family addition! And I love the colours you have choosen, the give such a warm feeling inside when looking at. Can't wait to see and hear about the progress with this one, it is sooooo much fun to build a house/scene for a particular someone, it sort of shows the extra care and love that goes into such a creation somehow.
