The cheating way to do a Gingerbread house

This is the cheating way of doing a gingerbread house. Since i have a two year old, and a four year old, we figured real gingerbread was too time consuming and hard.. so we used grahm crackers and royal icing. This is the house i made. We had a great time decorating and icing the houses. i got a little carried away and did a chimney and awnings over my windows. but the kids had a blast and are looking forward to destroying them on Christmas day.

here is another boy doll, a custom for a DS momma. i think this one looks more like a Mikey :) he has a sweet feel to him..

been working on massive amounts of customs. i have a doll to make today, and possibibly some reindeer poop. last minute orders keep coming, but the time for shipping before xmas is getting shorter!! atleast the post office seems to be on the ball so far this year!

Snakes!

boys love snakes. my son loves to chase my daughter around with is.. these snakes are being offered with a small tote for storage, on Ala Mode Congo 12/10/09. Its a great gift for that toddler boy who has an imagination!

Need a gift for that wine lover in your family? how about dressing up the bottle a bit.. literally. A cute hat and scarf set is the perfect attire for that special bottle of wine. i have 3 sets going on Sweet retreat tomarrow, for $5 each!! inexpensive and cute!

xmas time!

December is the season for uncomfortable pictures!!LOL! we took the kids to see santa lastnight, and my daughter wouldnt stop crying. so santa had us all get in the pic together. this is the only one of her not crying :)
So, picture done.. now i send out the xmas cards. we get our tree this weekend. our first real tree since the kids have been born. my xmas shopping is almost done.. i just have baking to do and then i can enjoy my holiday!!

SO HERES AN EARLY MERRY XMAS FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS!
