Gingerbread Builders


Happy Wednesday! I had so much fun this weekend hanging out with Jan, Grandma, Laura and Teresa :) We made our gingerbread creations and boy was it ever fun. Jan tacked quite the project by creating a mercantile and sweet shop; complete with miniatures inside that could be seen from the open door. I am impressed by her skill and patience for the tiny details. Grandma made a beautiful gingerbread wreath, complete with "oranges" with cloves stuck in... made me wish they were real so I could smell the tantalizing aroma! Teresa created a picture perfect Christmas tree farm. complete with Hot cider, Cookies, Horse drawn sleigh and a cozy fire pit! Ihad to leave before it was finished and can't wait to see it in person. Laura created the Candy Express- a delectable train surrounded by snow and carrying every childs dream load- candy! I decided on a little gingerbread village, containing a brick bookstore, toy shop, brwonstone bakery and stone and log cafe. It was a lot of fun creating the various facades. Please enjoy the photos and don't forget to check out the Ferguson Project to see the final results created by Jan, and Teresa :)
God Bless!
