I wasn't set on a handmade holiday just because we don't have money. Or because I have something against buying toys.
It's just that you just can't buy something like this at Walmart. It's infused with love and thoughtful care. From the silk floor to the acorn caps to the miniature Christmas tree, everything is made from natural materials and is so wonderful to touch. There's nothing else quite like it in the world. You can easily envision little elves with their miniature tools building it.
To my children, with love.

I love it! You guys are so talented. Merry Christmas!!!
This is incredible!!!!!! I can't believe how magical and original you have been not counting the countless hours. I'll bet you had the best time watching them enjoy this creation. This is acutally the fulfillment of a childhood fantasy of mine. How sweet to see it come true for my grandchildren.
Oh my goodness. That was the most magical thing I have ever seen. It seriously almost made me cry. WOW.
Umm...Wow! That is amazing! I'm glad you guys had such a wonderful Christmas!
Wow, this is awesome! well done to you both
Thanks everyone!
Soooo beautiful!
Love love love it! That is so awesome!
It's so wonderful! My grandfather once made me a dollhouse that looked like his house for Christmas (still have it) and it is one of my favorite presents ever. I bet your kids enjoy and remember this for a long time.
Arianne, truly you are giving your children both roots and wings!
They must live in a magical world daily, with such a creative and inspiring mommy.
Blessings,

Can I play too?! Amazing work and creativity. Thanks for sharing.
What a memorable gift! I'm sure your family will treasure this. Thanks for sharing it.
That is absolutely gorgeous!
I also wish you were living right beside me!
Hey have you seen my fairy houses?!!
Whoa Nellie - I pretty much stand all amazed. The love, craftsmanship and creative design involved in this thing are impressive and exciting. With your permission, I will bookmark it and strap my husband to a chair in front of the screen till he catches the vision. Of COURSE you're not going to find something like this - anywhere. I did find one - and it was a bit more elaborate - but it was in an art museum and the price tag on it was breathtaking. But there is no price tag on love, and what you have given your children here - wow.
What a great present!! Ella would love something like that. This year is going to be mostly hand made too. Made with love beats store-bought every time.
