Is it hard to build a dolls house?
Building a dolls house from scratch can be a rewarding experience, but it requires the right skills, workshop space, and tools. While it may seem like a cost-saving option, it may not be feasible if you need to buy tools. Making everything yourself, including doors and window frames, can be time-consuming and costly. Alternatively, you can purchase a variety of dolls house doors and window frames from most dolls house dealers, which can be more expensive than buying a complete kit. Despite the cost, building a unique dolls house to your own design allows you to save money and create a unique and functional space.
What makes a good doll house?
Dollhouses are interactive toys that enhance playtime with furniture, miniature appliances, dolls, and other embellishments. Some even come with lights, sounds, and moving parts. They come in two designs: open-back and closed-back, with open-back offering easy access and a clear interior view, perfect for group play and storytelling. Closed-back dollhouses have a more realistic exterior and an open front. For children who enjoy personalization, consider a dollhouse with plain walls and furniture, allowing them to paint, decorate, and furnish the house to their liking.
How to make a doll house step by step?
This DIY box dollhouse project is a simple and creative way to create a dollhouse. The process involves cutting off opposing flaps from the top of the box, painting and adding wallpaper, adding windows and doors, flooring, siding and window frames, upper floors and wall partition, and creating and attaching a roof. The project is part of the author’s new book, DIY Box Creations, which includes a variety of unique ideas.
The author and her husband worked hard to come up with these unique ideas, and one of their favorite projects is the cardboard box DIY dollhouse. The tutorial is not going into full details, but it provides a basic idea for those interested in creating this craft. For a full tutorial, the author recommends purchasing the book.
How do you make a simple paper flower easy?
This text provides instructions on creating flower petals and centers from pastel and white paper, using hot-glue or a glue stick to form flower shapes. Green paper straws are added to the back of each flower for a stem. Brown kraft paper is shaped into a cone, tied with tape and a rickrack bow. The flowers are then inserted into the cone.
To create giant poppy blooms, dip paper coffee filters in Cherry Red Rit Dye, lay flat on a cooling rack, fold and crimp them, and attach two filters together. A black pipe cleaner is cut into a circle and attached to the center of the poppy, while three green pipe cleaners are twisted together and attached to the back.
A template is provided to make these flowers from wallpaper samples, where 8 to 12 petals are traced and cut out. The petals are then pinned together, secured with hot-glue, and secured to the wall with pushpins.

I can’t focus because Your ring 💍 is absolutely stunning 😍 😂!!! Seriously though You did a great job. I have been making unknown to mankind 😂🤓 miniature flowers from scratch lately. These are way prettier of course!!! I will do a better job after I gave my carpal tunnel issues taken care of. Truly appreciate learning from You. I really need to make a bonsai tree for my Japan crazed 11 y old’s 1:6 room.
Gorgeous! Your added painting and shaping made these way more interesting and delicate. But holy hell those kits are ridiculously expensive! I hope they let you choose yours for free so you could demo for them. But even if you’d encrusted them in micro Swarovski crystals, you couldn’t convince me to spend ten dollars for that! Dollhouse stuff is notoriously expensive anyway, but this kit is taking the piss! 😳 Sorry to the company and all, but it’s a couple of sheets of post-it sized papers and one piece of anorexic wire, you should be ashamed charging that much. I wouldn’t pay that much for the hand-assembled bouquet! But as always, your work is meticulous. It’s you who turned this extremely basic kit into something special. ❤
I watch for both entertainment and to learn. Your voice is calming and not too much annoying music. I’ve always loved miniatures since I was a little girl but am just now in my 50’s starting to make miniatures. I love that you share your knowledge step by step and use obtainable materials and most of all I love your sense of humor. Definitely one of my favorite commentators!
I’m a middle school art teacher and I’m making a playlist of how to make miniature things for my Advanced Art students to use as reference for a project that we are going to do this year. We are going to make a self portrait project in the form of a “dream room” filled with furniture, objects, hobbies, and things that are important to them. The idea is that they are making a room that they would love to have in their real life and it would look like they just stepped out of the room for a moment, so it will look lived in and realistic. Your articles are exactly what I’m looking for because you reuse/repurpose inexpensive materials and give a really simple explanation on how to make realistic-looking objects. I love making miniatures myself, but I don’t have the time to make instructional articles for every possible thing they may want to have in their project. I make articles for almost all of my other projects for my Beginning Art, Digital Art, and Advanced Art classes, so I know how long articles take to film and edit. Your articles are really fun to watch and so inspiring! I hope my students love your articles as much as I do! Thank you so much for your hard work! As for which plant I like the best, I really can’t choose because they are all so well done! I think I will go with the spider plant, as I have a bunch of real life spider plants, both at my house and in my classroom.
Your artistry! 🌱🍃🌿 The baby spider in the spider plant makes this an easy favorite among the different plants—which are all equally mesmerizing, I just love that you added a baby to it because that’s the most fun part about perusal spider plants grow. (Until my neighbor’s cat chews them off.) I started perusal your website after YT recommended one of your articles. You immediately became binge worthy, and so relaxing. Every source stress in life evaporates. A few short weeks later and I’ve started building the architectural model for my tiny home in 1:36 scale and having an amazing time of it! Thank you so very, very much for bringing this into my life. 🙏🏼💞 Today I’m learning how to design stairs to the measurements needed for my ceiling height, while factoring in the height of the stair risers and depth of treads. I’ll use my cardboard template to cut a “stringer” for the staircase. After that I’ll cut and glue my steps to it! Math is hard. I a door you! 🤭💫🌷
I love perusal your articles and have recommended them to my minis Facebook group. I was also taught to make a cheap plant by sticking two strips of masking tape together sticky sides together with a wire down the middle and out one end. Paint the masking tape green, then cut in whatever shape leaf you want bend the wire and curve the petals by stretching over scissors blade. They look great
My husband and I make miniature houses for my forensics classes (I also share them with the English department for students to have as amuse for their creative writing projects. We both love your creativity and have incorporated many into our “murder scene” houses to add extra realism. Thank you for your creativity:)
I started perusal your website because I have been involved with miniatures for more years than I will admit……….but I would watch your website even if it were about the best angles to watch different shade of blue paint dry. Your soothing voice and delivery, the equally soothing and unobtrusive music, your clever sense of humour, your creative designs, and your innovative approach to the hobby bring your website up to a level that can not be described as EDUCATIONAL, or ENTERTAINMENT, or SOOTHING and CALMING, or a CRAFTING website – it’s just downright ENJOYABLE!!! Besides, you have given me umpteen solutions to some sticky wickets I have encountered……….so many so, that I may have to give you byline credit on the front door…………..
i watch both as a practice of rest but also to learn, i let my brain pick up what i can. i really really appreciate how you are not about doing things super fancy, this is not a hidden insult, i just don’t think for me personally crafting where everything you use has to be ordered from a specialty shop is for me. it is not accessible. it is expensive. i am learning how to make due and find joy in what i have, thanks for being part of that journey.
I watch because Im teaching myself how to be a miniaturist; Im building a dollhouse from a 100 year old gramophone cabinet. Your cleverness blows me away and really opened my mind to the possibilities that can be created. I also really love how you show that I don’t have to run out to the store and buy buy buy because there’s multiple ways to achieve an effect or look. And lastly I always pick your articles first because the rhythm of your articles and your narration works well with how I want to listen if that makes sense lol 👍🏻😃👏🏻
I watch because I’m interested in miniatures, & in the process of making a Baba Yaga kind of building with claws, trees, exterior bits around etc. I love that you use materials that don’t cost a small fortune or rely on a name-brand, as well as items that we’re likely to have on hand at home ie you don’t look down on making stuff from scratch using basic methods. I also really appreciate that you are very, very good at what you do. Be proud of your hands – they are versatile, creative, useful, easy to clean….& you have earned every callous on them ie working hands. Thank you for sharing your extremely interesting work with us.💐
I like all of them. I’m perusal to learn how to make better plants for wargaming miniatures and terrain. I want to build jungle bases for my upcoming saurian army for One Page Rules. That’s rather smaller scale than this, but some of the techniques should cross over. The paper leaves, particularly. They look better and easier to make than the polymer clay techniques I was trying this morning.
I watch for both relaxation and for insperation as well, while perusal it gave me ideas for other types of indoor plants, like “Mother-in-Laws Tung” don’t know it’s fancy name only what most Aussies call it. Very long green yellow, to green white in colour and very tuff stems, does not bend much, but does twist a little when growing. Then there was the fern plant with long fronds that curl up and out that starts out brown in colour when rolled up, then as it unrolls the brown is hidden under the plant and it shows off its deep green fronds, mostly seen in the woodlands around the world. Not forgetting that very strange hanging basket plant that’s just long strings of green purls or as I use to call it as a child string peas😹😹. Thank you for sharing.🤗🤗🤗
It is amazing what a brown wash does to just about anything! Plants are the hardest thing to get the right size and texture. Plastic leaves in a small size usually looks like thick plastic, so these ideas are great! Thanks for sharing…so many options…. 🙂 Loved them all, but the “macrame” hanging plant was awesome!
I watch for fun and I also make minis. I’m really new to it, having started in December last year, and I have appreciated your articles so much just for the simplicity and because you consciously use cheap materials. The cost of some pieces is astonishing to me but I can always count on you for an incredible looking alternative. Thank you so so much — I just bought a greenhouse kit (only the laser cut walls) and I’ve been delaying starting because of the thought of making that many plants. I’ll start now!!
You dumping those beads out of lid cups reminded me of my craft room. I have so much crafting stuff, but haven’t spent much time in my craft room. Mainly because it needs to be organized. I bought a doll house for $20 and hopefully i will get to work on it soon. Most of the comments here i agree with. ❤
I’m giving you a standing ovation. You’re just amazing! As far as why I am perusal… I enjoy perusal your techniques & trying to learn. I DO want to make minis but I am disabled & often don’t have the energy. But I am going to try to at least do a 1 room diorama to start… a living room or bedroom… and these plants are perfect. I loved the hanging planter! Thank you so much for sharing these techniques. I also love your dry sense of humor! It’s almost British! LOL Thank you again! xxoo
I shouldn’t be surprised with your talent, but it is astonishing every time I watch another article. My family and friends are probably tired of me telling them what you have done. I loved all of the plants. But you made my day when you said, “Look how dirty my nails are,” and then talked about the pretty pot. I am 60 next month and just started minis because of you. Have a blessed day.
Hello from New Zealand, I love perusal your articles. I make minitures from scratch to and the houses. My granddaughter was gifted the exact same miniture kit with the desk, and because she is only 7, I had to make it, and the desk was very hard to make up. I managed to get it made, and the whole kit looks amazing better than the picture on the box. Thank you for all your great ideas 💖
YOU are the REAL MVP! Thank you for all your inspirations! My mom had a love for all things mini and we bought a miniature kit to build right before COVID, unfortunately she passed away do to COVID and the kit is still unfinished. We were doing changes to it and I just never picked it up. It’s a Rolfie one! 😅 The green house! My mom also loved flowers! Thank you so much for your articles! Please continue on! Trust me it means a lot to so many of us! You ma’am are a true inspiration!!! Much love from FL!
I’ve learned so much from perusal your articles! I rehabbed a 1:12 dollhouse 2 years ago and enjoyed the process. We have a small place, so I’m going to make a room box and a book nook kit. Working on a sewing room in a ‘hello kitty’ 5×8 lunchbox. The toothpick-hinged ironing board took 3-tried to make, but it looks good and folds up. Will send a couple photos as I make progress. I’m from MA and live in FL now. Thank you
I do minis but love to learn new ways to do things, it gives me some ideas that I haven’t tried yet. I use all different kinds of things for pots and plants. l like going to the good will and get the saki cups and use them for pots for big floor plants and front porch ones. I use punches for some of the leaves and flowers as well. Also, regular masking tape works very well for the bigger leaves and holds the color too. Have a great day
Excellent tutorial. Very time consuming, but spectacular and realistic results. I also make miniature plants, but I use floral tape for the leaves and that green tin tie that is used to hold up tomato plants. I find using eye shadow a good way to tone down bright colors. I thank you for this tutorial. Great job.
Thank you for this timely tutorial. I bought 1/12 scale terracotta pots and was wondering how I could make the plants in them fairly realistic. I love your creative ideas and the way you upcycle things to turn them into miniature accessories. Will be doing some of these tips over the next few weeks. I watch a few other miniature websites but I always come back to you as you are more relatable and don’t talk down to your viewers.
I watch to relax and get tips on making minis. I’ve gotten so many great ideas from your articles, so thank you! I thought the spider plant was my favorite until you showed that really simple one in the stone pot. I’m also glad to see I’m not the only one that gets frustrated by those robotime kits where so much of the furniture is just “Bend this wire to make the desk, chair, table, railing, etc”
Wow! A favorite would be hard to pick but that spider plant with the teeniest spider baby is prob at the top of the list. They are so realistic looking. Right now I’m perusal for entertainment but I have made a miniature from a hobby lobby kit. I will do another once cold weather hits and my garden has been put to bed.
I recently discovered your website through recommendations (algorithm is actually doing its job) Also I am a crafts person myself, I always worked on big-scale projects (usually big armor and weapons), so I feel fascinated by miniatures like yours or doll customisation. Your patience and presision are something to envy
Girl~ I watch for it all! When I first found your website I was drawn in by your calming narrative, but your sense of humor injected throughout makes me not want to miss a moment! And your resourcefulness, creativity, and ideas for everything you do are inspiring. I think my hobby is having hobbies! Formally, I’m a potter, but I have been on hiatus for a few years for various reasons, and after a recent move, do not have a studio set up yet. Anyway, I jump from interest to interest. Rn, I’m storing all these lovely tutorials for when I circle back around to minis! In our new house, it appears that radon mitigation was installed after the house was built. In one of the walls in the finished basement, there is a square shaped hole, covered over rather clumsily with a cheap looking plastic panel. I fully intend to install a removable mini room or house in there!! Also, the entire collection is my favorite!!
I both enjoy making miniatures but also have enjoyed perusal your articles since finding you recently. I am legally blind with a degenerative eye disease so the more detailed and complicated minis are not something I can accomplish easily, but I enjoy your simple yet straightforward approaches!! I also have insomnia and have found myself, in the best way possible, able to fall asleep while listening to your articles. (Not while I’m perusal with purpose, but it’s like being lulled to sleep with a bedtime story 😂) you have a very nice voice and a very comforting cadence. Thank you for making cool articles, your talent is awesome and inspiring!!
I watch because I love making minis, because I love to learn, and because YOU ARE BRILLIANT! These are amazing. This article has been the highlight of my day. FWIW, I bought lots of fake plants from Temu that are surprisingly excellent for making mini flowers and plants and trees, but I love the idea of paper even more. Thank you for another excellent tutorial.
Thank you so much. :face-red-heart-shape: There are so many tips and tricks in this one article that I’ll need to watch it again to write them down. ! I love spider plants and yours looks so adorable and real at the same time… so it’s my favourite. :eyes-pink-heart-shape: I don’t make minis, although I’d love to. My eyesight makes it very hard to see tiny things properly. I have a kit sitting ‘over there’ that’s a few years old and has many teeny things in it… but alas when I’ve tried to make it up, my eyes make it too hard. So, I watch to learn and relax… but will also use some of the ideas in my journals and cards, rather than in miniatures.
I watch your website for both reasons, entertainment and also to get ideas for creating on a miniature scale. You have created some very realistic looking plants and it’s hard to choose just one. I appreciate your tips for shading and aging techniques that make an object look more realistic. Thank you for including suggestions for what you would do differently the next time you created the same thing. I have learned so much from perusal your articles.
I try to do miniatures but am just learning, have started with a couple of kits & was really enjoying putting them together but came to the greenhouse kit & got VERY frustrated with the metal chairs & tables. I am so happy to see that you also had trouble with them. I ended up discarding theirs, will use the pieces for something else later, and made wooden ones from craft sticks & stir sticks. Not sure if the scale is exactly correct but I used them anyway. 😊 I love your tutorials & always learn a better way to do things from you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge & talent.
What I love about your articles darl, is that like me, when you make minis you get messy and dirty. I will never understand how people make things and stay clean – I just CAN NOT DO IT =) I use the back of my left hand as a paint palette, glue holder and brush wiper. My fave’s in this lot are the mossy flowering plant and the teeny tiny baby spider plant that made me squeeeeee!
I am perusal because I wanted to know how to do miniature houseplants. I have a 100 yr old dolls house I am renovating. I’m in Aotearoa and we have such little choice here I’m frankly jealous of you just being able to “pop down to your local dolls house shop and pick up a bargain from a bin. And I’m not a jealous person, but even sourcing dolls house stuff is so hard here. I have some furniture hand made contemporary with the house which I have studied to make stuff, as well as repair. Currently working on a baby cot. I love everything about your work, and you lead us through so well.
I make terrain for DND and warhammer type games. But a lot of what you do is valuable for that. Too many of the websites on youtube for crafting DnD terrain includes heavy use of 3d printers. It is sad to think that someday no one will remember how to make realistic mini crafts with out 3d printers. So I end up finding myself at websites like yours and kit basher or diorama websites.
For entertainment, miniatures is something I always loved doing my entire life however I always had a busy life. So, would I start over and over and never get enough time to follow through. Once life slowed down for me it was too late. I now have bad OA in my hands and issues with my eyes that now stop me from being able to achieve that goal of making miniatures. So, I watch because I cannot do. Very creative TY for sharing!
I watch your website for entertainment mostly. I don’t make minis … yet! I do have a lot of interest in miniatures and always have. When I was very young, my parents took me to a museum that had an amazing display of miniatures and it left an unshakable impression on me. I love to watch articles where people create things. It gives me my own ideas of how I might make things too. I think one day, I will be making miniatures of my own!
Many favorite ones. Spider plant and minstera probably the mist thiugh. I used to have a okant similar to the monstera but ut was called something else and of course i cant remember the name now. It was more if a vine fhiugh and kept getting taller. I had it tied to rhe ceiling when it died, at keast 10 feet rall, or long. Each leaf easily spanned 14 inches. Had it from highschool until my first baby was born. I probably neglected it because of child. Philodendron !! Little thing was only about a. Foot tall when i bought it at a Walgreens Dragged it to college. Multiple moves and replantings.
Can’t pick one as they are all really great. I have to say the spider plant is so spot on…I was just outside taking care of some of mine the cats tried to destroy 🙄. They are doing much better and they look just like yours. These methods are great, thank you for sharing. This is going to be so helpful to me. We all need to save extra work that wears on our hands and wrists yet still has excellent results. Take Care!
I reallly enjoy yoyr articles, your honesty & funny reactions, cover ups make each one a article that stays with U….I can Not chose 1 favorite plant as I love all types of plants & being able to make them for my doll houses make them more luved in, real, outstanding….Thank U … Can’t wait to see what U do for 2024…new, wonderful, fun, & your one of a kind personality make them awesome!!!!!?
I recently found you when I was searching for homemade Halloween houses. One of my sisters and I share an affinity for all things tiny and when I saw your website and heard your voice, I was hooked! It was the abandoned lab in the book. I’ve never made miniatures before, but you’ve inspired me! I plan to make an itty bitty village with fall foliage. Going for some starter supplies tomorrow. Thank you for showing people how it’s done!
Love your articles, they are always easy to follow and very informative. I learn something new every time I watch one. Really liked how you painted the paper (directionally and color wise) and gave some plants a light wash of paint when done to vary the color a bit. They were all great, the spider plant was my fave.
Thank you again for this perfect tutorial, Shyra ☺ I’ve saved it in my “miniature” section, like many others of yours 🙂 I particularly like your tutorials because they’re straight to the point, simple and direct. And the fact that you don’t feel the need to show off too. And with no music, it’s perfect!
I also have that Rolife kit and ran into a similar problem with the desk and chairs. Well, I didn’t even attempt the chairs yet. I got so frustrated with the desk that I decided to flip to the back of the instruction booklet, treat it like a manga and work from back to front. Now that I’ve done the veneers on all the little boxes and shelves, i feel like I can tackle the desk and chairs!😂 Love your website and all the great inspiration and humor! This installment had two LOLs where I had to stop and share the hilarity with the hubs. And I really love the soothing theme music and your calm delivery. ❤
I find what you do fascinating! And you are my new favorite listen. Your patience level is exceptional. I like the occasional offhand comment you make when something doesn’t go “perfectly”. (Hahahaha) Your voice is soothing and you make perusal unboxing hauls an event- surprising, because half the time I don’t even know what you have just unwrapped, but I’m very excited to see you find it! (I can tell you’re excited to see your new treasure when your voice goes up a quarter of an octave!) thank you providing a whole new educational level for me. I hope to soon understand exactly what it is you do with these little tiny, whatever they are, things you make because people love them! If I had your address, I would’ve sent you a box of little tiny things, so you could make more a little tiny, but wonderful things! I now have this strange urge to get a candle and hot glue sticks…
I really enjoyed your tutorial on mini plants. I’m thinking of getting into making mini’s for a couple different things. Tiered trays, diorama’s. I’ve been crafting for years. I love to up cycle, really turning something into something else. Anyway thank you for your ideas and your excellent teaching skills. I live in Idaho right close to the Oregon border. The snake river separates the two states.
I absolutely love your articles! You are so informative and although I pretty much can figure out how to make things on my own it’s so nice seeing someone else do it and sometimes I learn a trick or two. I make miniatures kits; buy things for room boxes; and also make everything from scratch sometimes. My very first mini was a witches potion room completely handmade by me.
I watch to relax, but I am a doll collector as well and am in the process of making a room for Barbie, so I’m also looking for ideas. I did pick up a 1/12 scale camp trailer kit from Mary maxim, it’s still in the box… I’m into several types of crafts and have all kinds of stuff to create with. I enjoy miniatures, but don’t have space for little dioramas. I do have some stablemate Breyer horses that could use a barn… I think those are 1/24 scale… I really enjoyed the little potting shed. Good ideas!
so amazing. so appreciative that you share your method…makes me feel i should save all my plastic bits and bobs, even old leaflets. love it that you use stuff that most people would throw away:face-red-heart-shape: when i though miniatures were daunting…u make it so accessible and user friendly:hand-orange-covering-eyes: i just had to subscribe:face-blue-smiling:
Hiya 🌞, love your articles and admire all the efforts that you put into them! Thankyou 😊I do miniatures for my own amusement and since my grandees are interested in the results,have fun with them making some and helping them with their own, miss 5,espically likes to watch as she’s busy making fairy things/diaoramas of nature scenes ect. (But prefers l do the tricky bits,which she then claims for herself and friends!!😂)Best wishes, J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ 😉
I am curious have you ever used Lichen or moss as plants? My brother makes dioramas for his model tanks and such and he lives in Florida so he picks and dyes and dries his own for trees and bushes and grasses. Over the years I have seen him make and do wonderous things, I have been trying to talk him into making his own website, so far no luck, but he is on face Book. The “flocking” you use, could be made from dyed seed heads, crushed pop corn, lol so many things work for different flowers. My brother made mini coal for a model using bits of natural sponges and paint thinner and paint, you don’t need much at all since the sponge bit soak it up and harden quickly. Just putting the tip out there for everyone. 🙂 I love your ideas, My brother had that green wire he go in a large spool works real well and I love your desk plant and leaves you have chosen!
Yup I watch for both entertainment and learning. I’ve made a few miniatures but don’t have any place in my very small house to display a full dollhouse. I have one set of shelves that I could squeeze a room box onto tho but deciding on a single room has been really hard so I just have some miniatures scattered around the regular size stuff. My dad usually leaves with a lot of my creations tho and has a dedicated wall in his house for all the stuff he’s absconded with lol I love that about him! Edit a p.s. I also do origami and have tried to make miniature origami things. The trick is to start with a very tiny piece of paper and 2 tweezers. I’ll need a magnifying glass soon since it’s hard on the eyes!
You are outstanding ♥ Your talent patience and creativity are amazing. I use electric nuts too for pots and cups. I also use tube caps from small medication tubes for same purposes. I loved monstera plant the most. Both plant and its pot were incredibly pretty ♥ I like to use dried grape stems as small trees sometimes. All you need to do is to glue leaves onto them.
I love each and everyone of them they all have a different and unique character to them, I like to watch for inspiration and new ideas. I never duplicate anybody’s work, but I would take an idea and make it my own. It’s not fun for me to do a copy paste of somebody else’s work, I’ll be waiting for your next article. Keep up the great work.😊
I just watch everything, I have a ton of flocking and static grass and lichens in different colours and I also just dug out the paper cut outs for a kit I didnt complete. I buy those things usually because of a specific piece of furniture thats probably going to work in 1:18th scale with a bit of tweaking and theres all kinds of stuff for making plants, or candlesticks or whatever, I am doing a declutter at the moment and getting absolutely nowhere because everything goes in the “what you keeping that for?” pile, as Little Gretchen says! I’m the real what? For perusal till the end ? Lol!
