Hello all! Firstly, gonna wish you all a happy school holiday(especially to teachers and daddy or mommy with cutie pies)! * nod nod Yes, we have indeed slack in blogging(since mama has been miserably busy these days)... anyway, this is our latest project: Little Sprout's Paper Doll House.
Juan Juan helped to paint the 1st layer, she requested 'pink' as the wall colour. Mama helped to paint another 2 layers after each layer's paint dried.
Mama bought some adhesive wallpapers(RM3.60 per roll) from Mr DIY(hardware-outlet). The wood-grain's slightly cheaper, sorry... can;t recall the price.
The interior: McD holder arm chair, tissue box bed, cardboard shelves and cupboard. It took mama approximately 2 days to furnish the house.
A little surprise for Juan Juan: Her 1st little Barbie dolly and some kitchen appliances. She actually slept with her doll and had her company wherever she went.
Again, to parents who have little kids, don't throw all the paper boxes away... it's quite resourceful, certainly a really good material for making toys!
Mama patched up and covered the printing on the box with kitchen rolls. To exempt such fuss, you can actually use a print free paper box.
The paintwork outcome....
The doll house's interior after pasting the wallpapers...
A little touch-up... such inconspicuous difference!
Juan Juan's new toy and she loves it!
My beloved girl happily playing with her new set of toys!
p/s: Sorry for not being able to blog hopping regularly, wish you all a lovely week ahead!

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women
Boycott American Women
I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don't know how to cook or clean, don't want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.
Tens of millions of American men have had their lives completely destroyed by American women through the following crimes:
1. False rape accusations (it has been proven that up to 80 percent of rape accusations are FALSE)
2. False DV charges (same as above)
3. Financial RAPE of men in divorce courts
4. Emotional destruction of men by ex-wives who have stolen their children from them and forbidden contact
5. Divorced dads who commit suicide as a result
Not one single American woman has EVER condemned their fellow American women for committing these crimes against men. Silence means consent. Therefore, American women support and enjoy destroying men's lives and causing men to commit suicide. Therefore, is it any surprise that a huge percent of American men no longer want anything to do with American women, other than using them for easy sex and then throwing them away?
Over 50 percent of American women are single, without a boyfriend or husband; so the fact is most American men no longer want to marry American women. Let these worthless American women grow old living alone with their 10 cats.
BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!
BRAND NEW: Buy the Boycott American Women book. After reading this book, I promise you that you will never even think about dating an American woman ever again, or else I will give you your money back. That’s right, if you are not convinced by my book, I will give you a full refund!

November 30, 2011 10:15 AM
Hi Alice, very creative and innovative.
When I was very young my parents couldn't afford toys, but gave me empty boxes to play with....
And I learned to be creative.....
To do things for myself.
That young experience has never left me.
Love your pics, and your kids are really very good, having fun too.
Lee.
