Who would not want to open up a pretty Christmas present and find this beautiful little house inside? I love all the details and fun accents like the glitter and the musical sheets. I think that this craft is so pretty that you could make it a centerpiece on a coffee table or holiday dinner table.

I would call it "Christmas Wishes" , and I would cut a hole in the roof where the chimney glues on so that Christmas Wishes could be written on small cards and slipped down the chimney. I would make a front door that would open to retrieve the Christmas wishes, just before Christmas.

I love it. If you couldn't control yourself and made a village, I would call it "For the love of Music", as I would consider it a music store.

How about "Music Makes your Heart and Home Sparkle"? Or maybe: "Music Makes Your Heart Sparkle"? Something like that. Anyway, it's a charming project and I'm glad to hear that Steve and Cathy are still working together. I enjoyed their show on DIY.

This is the cutest little house. I plan on making quite a few for gifts. I think it should be called " The Music Box ", remember when stereos were called that.
