in december i posted pictures of the trunk my daddy made (and my mom and i helped with) that was a christmas present for my nieces (you can see that post here). well guess what! he made one for me too!
mom and daddy knew my old doll trunk, which he made for me when i was little, was overflowing so daddy secretly made one similar to my nieces' at the same time he was working on theirs.
he left it with the inside unfinished so that i could decide how i wanted it. well if your read that post about my neices' trunk you know papering the inside was a big job so i nixed that idea and used house paint and fabric. i painted all the inside walls a pale lavender then used coordinating upholstery fabric to line the top and bottom shelves.
i added a little personal detail by decoupaging stickers of my ag dolls on the top shelves.
i am so happy with how it turned out and i love that my dolls clothes fit so nicely in it! i am still using my old trunk for clothes too (yeap i have that much!).
this was my favorite christmas gift, it's something made with love that i will cherish always!
what was your favorite gift?
Gilbert Hollins, Gift giving is not so much about the gift itself but away to represent a deeper connection to each other. A way of acknowledging each other through generosity and gratitude by sharing a special moment together. If you are looking at purchasing gifts, the best gifts are ones that inspire's play,are fun, positive and uplifting. Don't forget that the real reason for season is to connect at a heart level with each other more deeply each year.
