Doll Therapy

I've become somewhat of AN addict....I get a thrill from finding name brand items for a cheap price..Heres what I found last week. .. A Journey Girls Travel set still in the package..$5...I grabbed it so quickly...just as I started checking out..I saw a nice doll closet.sitting on the floor behind the register...I asked the cashier the price and may I look at it...I thought a perfect size for my AG dolls..opened it and it was full of...AG hangers...$19.99! This is my lucky spot..Ive found 2..18 in American Girls here and the beautiful Journey Girl in the pic!

Yep thats right  $38..and $12 to ship..So yes ..we have to put it together and It doesnt have the tree.. Or roof..but....I saved about$400 ... Ive seen these on Ebay for $400~$500...so stay tuned to see how I fix things up!

I am so super excited about the way my first offical AG Doll Room turned out.This project was inspired by the AG doll scences that sell for $200 and Kits treehouse. This project was created with wood from an old book case,free wood flooring samples from Home Depot ..left over wall paper,black spray paint and crown molding that cost $2.83.OMG!!! can you believe that.. Once I decided on my colors I visioned exactly how I wanted the room.Since I saved so much money Building it ...I could splurge decorating..So first major piece the glass chandelier on sale at Hobby Lobby for $8...exactly what I visioned..Stay tuned for more pics as I began to decorate and add furniture...Hope I inspired someone today!

Just a sneak peek at the dollroom that is almost complete..

Ok guys I gave myself a challenge the other day to see what I could do with $20 worth of doll goodies I purchased from the thrift store. Here is my frist completed project..... a trunk for Addy watch the video!  So what do you think? Not Bad for $3.00 huh.
