Building the Barbie house.
Finished product.

Only three more days and Nani will have her 7th birthday. I have been very bussy with thoughts about her birthday. Besides the thoughts of "Oh My, I am getting old!" (which would be a blog posting in itself) I have been wracking my brain what to do for a present. There is one toystore in Rwanda and when the quality of toys from the dollar store or Wibra is better than the ones from this store, now if it had the prices of the above mentioned store... But no, paying $12 dollars for a fake Barbie type doll that has her legs broken after the first time playing with it...
So here I am, wondering what to do.
A few weeks ago, I must admit this happened after I prayed, I had a great idea; building Nani a dolhouse for her Barbie's. I started designing and dreaming about it. This was the fun and easy part ofcourse. It took me a few days before I had the courage to start gathering wood and mark it for cutting. Within a week the house was build. 4 feet high (135 cm), and 3 feet wide (100cm).
The house is in my room as I try to keep the girls fromseeing it while I paint and decorate. Only 3 more days and the house must be finished. I can't wait to see Nani's face...
Only 3 more days and the photo's of the finished, decorarated Barbie house and my daughters expression as she'll receive her present will be posted... I can't wait...
