The one where I find happiness.

Whoever said money can't buy happiness clearly wasn't into Lego.
I started with some mini builds of "Seasonal" sets. Very cute and very, very, very quick to put together.

 Then there was the big build, there are three floors, so I did a floor at a time. It took me a few weeks to finish it entirely as I had to make time on my rare days off to sit and build.
First floor comprises a barber shop and pool hall, with the detectives agency complete with dame on the second floor. The second and third floor on the right are a toilet and kitchen.
Inspired by Prohibition in America, the Lego equivalent is contraband cookies. Which are being made in secret in the top floor kitchen, and smuggled into the pool hall through a secret tunnel from the barber shop.

The next big but not so big build. The Vampyre Castle from the (now sadly retired) Monster Fighters series.
