Reindeer cat and Gingerbread Village

 Hi again!!!

Here are update and pictures of my Gingerbread Village.  
Also check out Sweetie!  He thinks he is a reindeer now not a cat or a dog!




Didn’t finish the ginger tree but will tomorrow, I ran out of white icing.  ;(  Good news only have one side left to do on sleigh, so I can use the rest of the white on the tree.  ;~) The Reindeer and Santa for sleigh are done.  See:







Here is my village so far.  I found some candy cane trees and check out the video of the village.  The two globes light up and change color.  I got them from the dollar store.  One is a tree and the other a snowman.










Well I hope you like it so far!!! Will keep you updated!!!!!

Thanks for dropping by!  See you soon!

Gingerbread Train


Hi everyone!!   

Every year I try to do something at Christmas that I make myself for a decoration.  I got an idea last year that I wanted to do.  Make a gingerbread house.  I have never made one before.  Now I didn't want to bake it, seemed like too much work (and could get expensive).  So in the new year I kept my eyes open for after Christmas sales.  I knew I wanted to spray it so I could keep it for a while.  Well in March I got lucky!  I found a gingerbread house on sale for $2.00!! (It was about to expire.)  That didn't matter to me because had no intention of eating it.  ;~)

Well while I was looking at it I also found a train, and it was only $2.00 too!  So I thought go for it have a train and a house!  Why not; it was only going to cost me $4.00.
I was so happy, get to try something new and get nice decorations too. 

Three weeks ago I went to Winners and saw a gingerbread tree!  It wasn't on sale (have only so much money for decorations) but I figured I could make one from gingerbread cookies.  Now I figured that should be hard to find some cheap cookies.  True to life, I couldn't find any gingerbread!  Went back to Winners figured I could find a way to by the kit.  Of course none left.  Figures!  I did see a Santa and sleigh so I bought it because I thought it would look good with what I had.

Today I went back just to see what was on sale.  I found a kit for the tree.  The last one!  And it was $3.00 cheaper.

So now I have the house, train, tree and Santa with sleigh.  I also have a tiny gingerbread house I found at the dollar store for $2.00.  I now have a tiny village.

Tonight I finished the train (promised a few people I would post pictures) so here is a picture of the train’s box (what it is supposed to look like):





This is what mine looks like (from different angles): 










Mine’s a little different because there wasn't enough candy in the box to do what was on the cover, so I improvised!  I like turned out better than I thought for my first try.  ;~) 

I hope you like it too! 

I will post pictures after I finish each piece and when the village is done.

Don’t forget about my draw!!!
