2 months ago I started a Gingerbread house to enter into the Oklahoma Sugar Arts Show. It has been fun, aggravating, learning,and amazing all at the same time. The hardest part has been keeping my little helpful 3 year old away from the construction and the candy. He LOVES frosting and he LOVES fondant so it really was a trial. I say I started 2 months ago but I did not work every day and I did not work more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. My guess is maybe 50 hours or so, but that is just a guess. So now lets check out the photo doc. of my progress.
O was a great, he had fun playing next to me and steeling candy when I wasnt looking.

I lack the vocabulary to react properly. I'm tempted to swear instead. I can't believe you created that in a home with three active boys, one of them a 3 year old. I can't believe you have to transport it now! I couldn't handle the stress much less the patience & creativity to put it together in the first place. I hope doing it makes you happy & I hope you get a prize!
Oh my gosh, TARA! It's amazing!!
