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

What a fun job, Joyce!  Sure been through plenty of that and the MRI's, too, with epelepsi!  
I decorate my office area, too, but not that ilaborate!
I like to use what I make, here, in class, like my pumpkin, Christmas tree, and maybe the gingerbread house.  Next year, I might be hanging up my own hand made stockings!

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
