The Cool House: Cake or pity?

Cake or pity?


Houseblogs.net is having a Home for the Holidays Contest, with a real live prize, so I was flipping through my photo files to get inspiration for this year's holiday decorations when I happened upon this gem from our first end-of-year holiday at The Cool House back in 2004.
No, a two year old did not produce this monstrosity, I did it all by myself. What's worse, I used a kit. Deeply, deeply sad.
The houseblogs competition ends Wednesday November 19 2008, so get yourself over there quick if you want to enter. Me? I'm off to hang my head in shame.

I have to buy a gingerbread house kit for the Fiance this week. He's never done one and he's taking full advantage of my Christian ways...LOL

This totally cracked me up!

You should make a gingerbread version of YOUR house. There aren't nearly enough modernist gingerbread houses in the world!:)

Me make a model of my house? Way beyond my skill set.
On the other hand perhaps you could add a new line of house plates or models to your business?

You know? I've never made a gingerbread house before. Not ever. Maybe I'll take round rabbit's idea and try one of The Box House. How hard can it be to make a shoebox shaped gingerbread house?
