Friday afternoon has arrived - and I hope you're all winding down already or at least thinking about it! We're ramping up because tomorrow is our big garage sale but hopefully tomorrow afternoon we'll have a lot less stuff to store and a little bit more cash - wish us luck!
Last night I had a relaxing night doing some Gingerbread House decorating with Corrie - we chatted, iced, (she) breastfed and made our adornments for the houses. I wanted to be a bit minimalist after last year but I'm not sure if I went too minimalist - it's an all or nothing kind of thing - it's hard to know when to stop adding lollies!
I did get a lot of compliments on my roof on the night which I used some left over ready-to-roll icing along with the gorgeous cookie cutter - yes, the very one I'm giving away 10 of this week (along with a candy cane one) - it was fun.
Here's our pics!

Ze roof, I love it! I covered it with edible glitter ($3.20 from Inspired by Chocolate)
so it glistens in the light - can just see it glowing next to the Christmas tree!
And the front door - made with icing with fruit ring and cachous.

Those are fantastic, my kids make some every year. Every year I scrape royal icing off the floor and mutter never again but still I do it! I think it's the giggles.

You did well Liss! x
It looks great! Now where do I get the house from???
Ooh pick me for a cookie cutter, my daughter wants to do a gingerbread house this year and we would love to have one of those.
Can you make the gingerbread yourself or is it much better to get a kit do you think?
