What I really should have been doing is pulling out my tablecloths and napkins for Thanksgiving... Oh, and I had cleaning the bathrooms on my to do list as well.....
but.....
instead I spent Sunday afternoon building a house out of a few old, not in very good condition Little Golden Books!
A few weeks ago at the local flea market, I saw one....I didn't take a picture because the seller was right there and I felt a little awkward taking a picture.
I had a pretty good idea of what the house looked like and I was sure I could create my own.

This is a picture of the front of the house.....

a view of the back
It reminded me of decorating a Gingerbread House.....
I had a wonderful Sunday afternoon, Building The Night Before Christmas house, while watching Miracle on 34th Street...
Cleaning the bathrooms and sorting through linens can wait right?
