I haven’t been able to sleep…my dad is finally “well” enough to have his open heart surgery tomorrow, which means probably not much sleep for me tonight. So what would be a better way to distract me than to start a new build?!
This is the first build I have done that I am building to give as a gift. I know she likes Halloween, so this one seemed like a great choice.
I will have about 8 hours at the hospital tomorrow, so I’m hoping to be able to finish this.

I’m glad you have something to help keep your mind occupied during such a stressful time. I really like the look of this haunted mansion already, and it’s especially meaningful that you’re building it as a gift. I’ll be thinking of you and hoping everything goes as smoothly as possible tomorrow.

First of all, I am praying that all goes well tomorrow. I’ve had many friends of my mother who are dear friends to me go through major heart surgery. I’m glad that you have a slight distraction from your worries. I absolutely love anything to do with Halloween and there aren’t many models that do so. I hope you enjoy it

I hope everything goes smoothly and that he has a speedy recovery. Building sounds like such a lovely way to keep your mind occupied during the long wait, and I think your friend is going to treasure this Halloween-themed gift even more knowing you made it with so much care. Wishing you strength for tomorrow.
