Making A Gingerbread House-Finished!

 Just a few things to do and the

 gingerbread display will be finished.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FYI It takes about 14 egg whites,

1 & 1/2 large bags of powdered

sugar, 1 & 1/2 small containers

 of cream of tartar to make one

of my gingerbread houses.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I need a gap in a section of my

candy cane fence where the front

walk will be.  I cut the tops off

of 2 large candy canes.

I want my front path to end right

about here.

I squiggled a big log to set the

chocolate rocks in.

The same for the back walkway, it's

also ready for a tree.

I set the big tree and lamp post

in the front yard.

I am ready to put the ribbon

around the edge of the base.

My ribbon isn't wide enough so

I will use 2 kinds.  I pinned the

lower ribbon the the back.

I did the same to the upper ribbon.

I got my candy cane humps ready.

I started on the side

 
and made a big squiggly line.

I stuck the candy canes in.  Same
thing all the way around.
(Wonky is just fine!)

I used the last of the frosting to make

snow drifts everywhere.

Finally finished!

I saw a doe and her fawn

in the yard several times this

past spring and summer.

The glow of the tea light makes our

 Santa look like he's standing in

 front of a fireplace.

It was fun to make, but I missed

having little helpers.

Certainly not perfect,

but to us

it's confection perfection!

To the lovely ladies who so faithfully

 come to my blog and leave the sweetest,

kindest comments, from my little house

to yours...........

I wish you a very

Merry Christmas!
