Oh my that is just gorgeous.
Makes me wanna try something like it.
Several problems though - I wouldn't know where tostart
                                     - I don't have anywhere to do it
                                     - and even if I managed a tent the girls would eat it once my back was turned.  :crackup:

Good luck but I think you may not need it!

Roxanne Dec 11, 2006

Thank you all for the positive wishes! I need all the luck I can get  :pray:
I was up to my elbows in royal icing, and was having to chase my husband out of the candy dishs and the icing. It might have made him have a tummy ache beings it is made with raw egg whites  :redface:

Gosh that's beautiful...mmmmm....and I bet your house smells fantastic with all the baking gingerbread. 

LOL...poor hubby getting shooed out of the icing and candy dishes  :crackup:   Maybe you should keep offering those, so he doesn't take a bite out of your creations when your back is turned? 

I just looooove all the details you've added, like the little fence, and that lovely walkway.  How many hours/days did it take you to make?

Kathleen Dec 13, 2006

Wow and Mmm Mmm good :clap:

the cookie shingles and snowy icing rule.  God must have a sweet tooth, because he made candy taste so good.

Hey I wonder if that is the Sisterhood of the Sacred Order of Immaculate "Confection"?
