Each year Jess and I make a Gingerbread House.
Actually, we decorate a Gingerbread House!
We do a trip to Ikea, purchase the pre-made kit, then come home and put it together! The inside of the house is filled with chocolate lollies! The roof is made from Freckles lollies and white chocolate with a couple of Rocky Road trees out the front!
Christmas Eve at our big celebration, we put it in the middle of the table and smash it!
Miss Jess received a gift from my beautiful 'other mum' Kathy - a Crystal Garden - Jess LOVES this and every morning races out to see how much it has grown over night.
Last night I used some Hambly washi tape, 7Gypsie tape and Tim Hooltz tape to cover this little reindeer! I coated it in Goosebumps (spray glossy accents) then lightly sprinkled it in superfine Glitter!
I think he looks really nice next to the rest of our Chrissy bits!
Have a great week and thanks for your lovely comments!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I love the idea of filling the gingerbread house with chocolates. Have a great holiday.
ReplyDeleteOh you have given me so much inspiration. We are doing our gb house this afternoon and I just love how much effort you put into yours. I might have to lift my game a bit now. And the idea of smashing it is awesome. Thanks, we might just have to start that tradition.
ReplyDeleteLove your reindeer. He looks fabulous. What a great idea with the tape.
Have a fabulous Christmas. x
