December 16 - Gingerbread Cottage

Getting closer to the big day. Time goes so fast and I wish it would slow down. I love this part of Christmas. The lights. The warmth. The music. Everything feels like magic.

Becky was the gingerbread house artist this year. I love her attention to detail. She used tweezers to apply each teeny weeny candy wafer to the roof!  The kit came from Ikea. If you get a chance to visit Ikea before Christmas, you really should pick up one their kits. They are $3.99 and really nicely made. And they really are fun to decorate!

    What a cute little gingerbread house! Thank you for commenting about Cleveland on my blog. Maybe I won't be so jittery about the weather when the snow flies. Hopefully all this transplant stuff will be completed before any bad weather. I don't mind snow, I have a 4-wheel drive Jeep, but even the best vehicle doesn't perform well on ice and sleet. Just praying for decent weather. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    Soooo cute! Becky is quite the gingerbread artist! I hope that Ikea carries them next year-- I would love to try making one of those. The possibilities are endless!
    Hugs,

    Becky did a beautiful job on the gingerbread house. I love the heart on the chimney, the grid pattern on the roof, and all of the icicles!

    This is such a sweet little gingerbread house! I love the patterns on it and especially the icicles on the roof. Lovely colours too!

    Beautiful - I'm also missing Ikea lots. Not for the big things as much as the bitty ones and the picture frames :)
