The Early Birthday Surprise

While we were celebrating my dad's 40th birthday, my friend's dad (Pete) brought something very special.  You won't believe what he had.  I'll give you some hints.  It's miniature.  It has 4 rooms.  It's big for what it is.  Do you have any guesses?  If not, I'll tell you.


Mr. Pete brought me my first, very own dollhouse that my Grandma Sue made just for me for my birthday.  It is awesome!  I love the way the colors are in the rooms.  One room is as pink as a clean pig.  Another room is yellow like the sun.  There is also one that is as purple as a lilac.   The last room is green and reminds me of leaves popping out on a spring day.


So far, I have a few things in the house that I already had at home.  I used a wooden game holder for a table.  I have a miniature bird nest for a bed.  There's a puny, fluffy purple pillow from a High School Musical Set that I use for a dog bed.  I'm using an elephant bobble-head and a turtle bobble-head as two other pets.  Maybe it's not a house, maybe it's a zoo.  But it's not, it's a dollhouse.  And it's my dollhouse.


There are a few things that I can make for the house.  I'm going to make a pool out of a newspaper and it's very easy.  I can design a carpet using regular paper and add decorations.  I can also make miniscule artwork for the walls.   I bet I can use toothpicks for the frame.  I wonder what I should use to hang them.


I'd love to add some more furniture and people, but I'm not sure what to choose.  Do you have any ideas or suggestions?


Thank you, Grandma Sue, for such a special dollhouse!
