I especially love the rocking horse...I had one (albeit a much smaller one) when I was a little girl and I would ride it for hours.

Our daughter doesn't allow guns in any fashion either, but the boys always make pretend ones to use in their play.<BR/>Can't wait to see your craft room.<BR/>Oh, and yes, Bill did make the elephant that sits by our front door.
