Just simply amazing - I so love Melissa's style!
Really Cute!
I bought one of these paper mache houses over a month ago and it is sitting there waiting for me to get inspiration.
Wow the details on this one are amazing.
You've done it again! You never leave me disappointed. I LOVE this house. I'm going to make one for myself and one for my daughter. She is just starting her family and I know she will love this as her "first" halloween decor. I'm sure it will be a treasured piece in her soon to be holiday collection :)
just was wondering if anybody could let me know where you get the paper mache house??? I so love this and want to make one right away!! Can you please send me a PM on my blog??
