Trimming the Dollhouse

December 23, 2009 at 12:38 pm by Claudia

The dollhouse has been decorated for Christmas. I look forward to starting some renovations this winter. I’m slowly feeling better, thank goodness, but Don is about 2 days behind me in the recovery process. Today I am wrapping presents, listening to some Christmas music and enjoying our home. What are you doing today?

    This is such a cute house! Don’t you wish you could move in, maybe after you get it decorated, huh? I’ve got some baking to do today, I really should take a walk, and then who knows! I’m glad you’re feeling better and hope you have a great day!

    I love this little dollhouse! Today I posted a pic of our tiny Christmas tree/Christmas card on my blog. I’m making a beef roast dinner. And I’m visiting some of my favorite blogs to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

    So, Merry-Merry Christmas to you and yours, Claudia!

    :)

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
