[Nfb-krafters-korner] update on ginger bread house

Please, please do get a picture and don't forget the snow under it!
 
I always got the spider webs for Halloween and then used that for snow for  
Christmas decorations.  By pulling it apart for Halloween you can push it  
and shape it for snow.  I use to have a rectangle mirror and would shape  
the web for snow around the mirror and lay that on a counter at work.  Then  I 
had this Holiday teddy bear[you know with the hat and scarf in red and 
green  on can't remember what color the bear was], well I poked large paper 
clips in  his feet to look like skate blades and of course sat him in the middle 
of the  mirror and then on one end had a small pine tree.  I do miss the  
decorating.
 
Did I say I worked for a pediatric neurologist doing  E EG's  and  I always 
had my room decorated.  I used the spider webs to drape from my  computer 
screen to my small lamp that lit up my keyboard and of course I had a  
skeleton head hanging in the corner with cob webs, but then I always had those  
silly balloons [pumpkins with smiely faces] that had weights so they would 
float  and move in my room.[the kids loved playing with them] and you know you 
have to  get them to lay still and even doze off a bit, so the lights were 
turned down  and I always had an array of stuff animals for them to hang on.  
I do miss  those days.  I enjoyed my job.

Hi  folks,



Just to share the good news with you: I found a solution  for the drooping
roof. I cut off the side of a shoe box and it fit inside  the house 
perfectly
and is holding up the roof. It was just good luck, but  the shoe box matched
the house, so no worries with it showing through. I  asked my daughter about
the candy canes and she explained that they should  be connected as Joyce
described but stand up above the house in the way a  handle does. So, that 
is
why folks thought they were handles.  So now  it does look good. Asked my
daughter if she would take a picture, (been  asking her all  month saying
pretty please), but she said that she is  going out and is too busy, as
usual.



Oh well, at least it is  done and looks good now except for the fuzzy white
stuff I'd like to set it  on that will look like  snow.



Cathy
