I love christmastime! as per tradition, tonight i made my gingerbread village. usually i spend a few nights on it, but since christmas is so soon, i had to get it done, and i couldn't before cause i was away at school. (actually, my friends and family thought i wasn't going to do it cause it was so late, but hah!)
so anyway, my sister and brother each decorated a house, and i also baby sat and made some houses for the kids, (which the brought home.) everything else i made myself. not all of it looks like i wanted, but it turned out nice anyway. well, i think. i didn't beat my icing long enough, so it was drippy in places, (you'll see the tree with the red strips that look like they're fallin off...) and when i went to take pictures, i knocked a lamp post down... (i was going to wait and post when i took new pics with it standing, but i can't wait!)
anyway, I'm really proud of it. its the center piece during the holidays. oh, and if you couldn't tell, its santa's workshop. i used peppermints, gum drops, flavored tootsie rolls, m&m's, mike and ikes, and licorice. I also got penut butter cup trees and keebler elved to decorate the town. i did make gingerbread tonight, but i always have horrible luck trying to use it to make villages, so i just used grahm cracker. last year i used gingerbread to make a 2 ft house... and it turned out pretty disasterous.
ANYWAY. I'm excited about it, so I'm talking tons! sorry! hope you guys think its as cool as i do. i spent ages on it. unfortunately, you can't see some of the stuff, so i may take one or two more pics. i made a snowman i really like that's beside the toy factory.
but anyway, on with the show!
