Once upon a time...Kari Dellagati (aka Jack's mom and "room mom") asked Louisa Lauver (me ~ aka Isabella's mom) if i would "help out" with the class auction project. Little did I know that I was to be the PROJECT MANAGER!!! Thank goodness, Anne Sherrill (aka Cameron's mom) volunteered to help out too! The two of us were saved when Dave "the builder" Almond (aka Ranford's dad) agreed to be our carpenter. We all began brainstorming and came up with the idea of creating a playhouse with a Henri Matisse (Welcome to HenriMatisse.com) theme...bright, colorful, whimsical and fun!
