wow, what a great list! thanks for including a few of my crafts in it. It is interesting to see how many variations they are of the IKEA bed, we would still have ours if it had not been “modified” by the dog! I am wondering on what project for dolls you are currently working on…
Thanks, Morgane! I’m happy to have included a few of your ideas. I LOVE them! Hope it generates some traffic and new followers for you!

My daughter would love your site. I like those ideas I have see.
Thank you! So glad you like the ideas. Enjoy!
cute
Loved this site. Adorable ideas and great inspiration! !!!!!!
Thanks so much!
How would you pin it not because I want to but my neighbor wants to. It is very similar to what AG has in the store and it would take longer cost more and the quality would be less if you made it yourself so I recommend just going into the store or order it online because it is truly quicker, less expensive, and a lot better quality literally.
Most people who are interested in these idea are actually saving money over buying them at the AG store. I know I have saved a ton of money by making them myself and I disagree with you that the quality is less. Also, I know my daughters love knowing that I took the time to make them something and I enjoy the process of making. It is fun. It sounds like that is not true for you, so you probably would be happier to just order things…which there is nothing wrong with that.
love the coffie shop
