Storage Space

Dear Readers,

I am so glad it's Friday.  I look forward to the last day of the week because the weekend is near and I will finally have time to be with my children at home.  This week seemed longer than normal because my daughter was teething and so she was feverish and cried for hours non-stop.  She is usually clingy but this time I literally could not let her down and had to carry her in my arms all the time.  Well thank goodness it's over now and she is back to her happy self but it's been tough for her and for us to see her so miserable.

Now that she feels better I will be able to take our family out to dinner with my father and his wife who came to visit us all the way from Canada.  They are staying for a month so we will probably go out more often than usual so we can show them around the city.

I also hope to have more time to organize the new cabinets my husband has installed this week.  I desperately needed more storage space for my miniature collection, dolls and dollhouse furniture!  I started to store them inside the cabinets and I realized how much stuff I have.  I knew I had a lot but it's not until they are all gathered in one single space that it really shows.  I will have to do some more purging!

Here below are some pictures from the shelves I have filled.  It's just one portion of the cabinets.  There are lots more to organize.  Like my craft supplies and my son's toys... Hopefully I will have time to do it soon.  Have a great weekend everybody!

Storage for Little Dal Dolls

It has been a difficult week for me.  Not much sleep due to my cold and struggling to finish my tasks at work.  I am happy it's Friday!  But there is really no rest for me as it will be a busy weekend: dance practice, birthday party, organizing fall clothes...and it goes on.  But it's good to stay home with my kids and spend time with them anyway!  I haven't been able to complete many projects I had planned for my dolls but I did find a storage box for my Little Dal Dolls!

I have been looking for a box to store my Little Dal dolls so they won't get dusty.   I don't like to store my dolls in plastic containers because I noticed they pick up a musty and chemical scent when I leave them in there.   So I looked for a wood container and I found this darling little drawer chest at Michael's Craft Store.  It was only $2 dollars after I used the store's weekly 40% coupon!

Lady Vixy and Princess Tulip: "You want us to do what?"
Lady Vixy: "It's OK, it's not going to be forever! She'll take you out soon!"
Princess Tulip: "I feel like Jessie in Toy Story!"
Princess Tulip fits just right!
It can fit two dolls.
And you can store the little hats and clothes in the upper compartments.

I  plan on decorating/painting the box eventually but that will be for another time :)

I hope I will feel better soon and the cooler weather is already helping!  don't know about you but I look forward to the cold season! I love September and to make it even better, there are so many giveaway contests this month:

Have a great weekend y'all!
