dollhouse pix, old car & even a tip!

well i am ready to post again and apologize for the delay, but am adjusting my meds so i am, at least, SOMEWHAT functional during the day. thank you for all the sweet comments and continued support! HUGS..ok now onto the post. hehe
since i have been working on cards, my hubby finds himself wanting to continue with dollhousing (is that a word? lol) & miniatures. so on one of his yard sale excursions, he came upon this mess real cheap.

looks real cute but the other side which should be a 'front' is just a solid wood backing. strange since they did such an elaborate job on the rest. but anyways, here are more pix of HIS newest project. (lol i am so proud that he wants to do this & am sure i will pop in & help where i can becuz it's just fun)

i LOVE the nook in the next pic.
Photobucket
this is in really sad shape

and this fireplace, that whole little wall piece swings out to like make another wall/partition, very strange.

and the bottom is pretty but not only decoration but...
Photobucket
they open into drawers, GENIUS!

so hubby & i see ALOT of potential for a Victorian house. we already have a few pieces to start filling in that era so he has already ripped out the carpets & started. God Bless him!
as for me and my cards. well i am still at play with making them. hubby took them to the swapmeet twice and sold one so far. this one!
Photobucket
so i took the others and started to make them better, adding glitter or such. pix to follow soon, i promise. :)
here comes the TIP:
oh and while i am on the subject, for those of you who get sticky scissors from cutting tape or puffy tape stuff, best & easy way to clean the blades is to apply finger nail polish remover. it takes away the tackiness & scissors like new again!

On a last note, hubby took me out to breakfast yesterday before my 8am dr appt & we saw this BEAUTY.
Photobucket
it's '28 or '29 Model A ford and GORGEOUS! we talk to the owner now & then and he has at least 3 or 4 (that we KNOW of) older BEAUTIES like this different years & models but all beautiful!
well that's all i got for now but i always enjoy our time together & thank you for visiting! Have an AWESOME day! :) hugs
