  16. Olga, this is PERFECT for those that live in the city, in apartments! You REALLY DID a FABULOUS JOB on this! SUPER JOB!!! (And just so you know, I don’t see the video to watch. I clicked on ALL of the photos & they weren’t the video. 🙁 Just so you know, in-case something went wrong.)

  67. I couldn’t see the video either. Looks really neat though. Can’t wait to see how you made the small cottage into a larger building.

  71. Wow, amazing, creative use of dies! I watched the video on you tube, it was excellent! Loved that some of the windows were not lit, and the use of the round window and the roof over the door, and the Christmas trees and wreath. Thank you for sharing this amazing project. The Classic Cottage die set is at the top of my list, it is a lovely little cottage.
