Wow... where did this year go? Time has flown by! I can't believe Christmas is in 11 days! Kelley and
Tegan come home on the 24
th! I can hardly wait to see them both! Beckie and I have been busy decorating the barbie "condo". The condo is really a large shelf Dave built for Bridget back in her college days when the room she
lived in was so small she couldn't even fit a dresser. Dave built this piece of furniture with shelves for books,
computer, clothes, etc. with a desk top that suspended from it as well. Well, its been sitting in our basement. I wondered one day what to do with it and
Debo, the genius that she is, says..."Turn it into a Barbie Condo"! So we decided to do just that. Here are some shots before we did some wall papering!! This is the shelf unit turned on its side. Beckie and I were a little
disappointed that Barbie wouldn't be able to stand in the top section or the bottom ones. That's when Dave gave us a look like we were both NUTS and flipped the dang thing on its side... Now Barbie has 24 foot ceilings!!
Here Barbie enjoys her new kitchen... oh but wait till we are done Barbie!
Barbie enjoys pink....
So we used lots and lots of pink!
One of our favorite rooms is the stage room...which will be complete with a microphone stand for "belting out her favorite songs" with
Elphaba and Glenda watching on!
The kitchen with a few items...
The bathroom with a view to die for...
Won't Sarah and Molly be surprised? I know Barbie will be
freaking out!!

The pictures are great, but definitely do NOT do Barbie's Mansion justice! Those girls are going to think they died and went to Heaven! I just hope that it never gets too close to a flame...that thing will explode with the amount of modge podge we used!
Oh my gosh ! That Dave just thinks of everything - even Barbie likes high ceilings !!! Memories of you making and decorating a house for Beckie for christmas one year.....ahhhh the tradition continues !!!!
You all have some serious talent !!!
That is such a fabulous use of recycling! The girls are going to be so excited when they see it. I think you can safely say there will be hours of fun had with Barbie over Christmas!
What a great re-purposing project! The girls are going to LOVE it!!!
