Not sure is I am posting this in the correct area but here it goes.
I am looking for a wooden dolls house or something that has 25 doors.
My husband has promised to make me an Advent Calendar like the
one on National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation if I can find plans for it
or if I can find the right size dolls house. Any ideas of how I could get
started? Thanks so much I feel that I am asking the right group of
people. thanks again!
Big Lots and Kohls both carried similar advent calendar houses the year before last, and T.J.Max has had them as well, off and on. I'm not saying to track one down, but it seems to me that if you could see a few to use for inspiration for a cardboard version, that might help.
Still, something to think about. What would you put behind the little doors? Little presents? Pictures? Sayings? I'm in favor of something you can print up or paint versus having to buy 24 little gifts every December.
I like your idea of putting little pictures and saying behind the doors , paul . Maybe even
a few christmas bible versus and perhaps a quote or two from christmas movies!
You have my mind whirling thanks so much!
