The Gingerbread Mansion

This was our amazing Gingerbread Mansion designed and made by our 

14 year old grandson and his mum.

They had toffee for the windows and tea light candles inside for lights on. 

Verandahs, Awnings, open front door, snow dripping down and the beautiful 

Bay Window shape in the front.

I wouldn't mind a house like it.

They did an amazing job of it.  

Below is a different angle.

I do hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas as much as we did.

All the best of Health, Happiness and Safety for 2018.

God Bless,  Crafty Hugs, Carol x
