Time to Decorate the Gingerbread Houses...mmm Good!

It's Gingerbread Time!!!

Another family tradition...Every year around the first or second week of December, Sunday night becomes the night to decorate...Gingerbread Houses.

First we eat...

Thanks to my cousin Jimmy, proprietor of Jimmy Maxx, we had a little bit of everything and...pizza(of course). After we stuffed our faces, we got down to business...

Busy, busy, busy...Artists at work!

Ashley asks...Do I have to eat that?

Now we have to clean up the mess!

"Holiday Brain" Too Much Going On, that we can't keep anything straight...

"We call this “holiday brain” around here…

Too much going on, that we can’t keep anything straight..."

Quote by Stephanie at Gallery Graphics.

"WOW" Now I know!!!

Too much shopping, too much decorating, too much baking, too much working, too, Too MUCH!!!

Okay, I love Christmas, but sometimes...I just can't motivate myself to decorate my store windows. I have to a lot of decorating to do. At the store, I am the janitor, the stockman, the bookkeeper, the decorator, the buyer, and the seller. So sometimes...my creative juices get bogged down with the everyday chores that need to be done. I thoroughly enjoy decorating, but after the 4th tree things get a little foggy. It is December 6th & I still have one tree left to decorate & one tree to redecorate because the lights blew out :( and one store window (I did one the day before Thanksgiving). PLEASE GOD GIVE ME ENERGY TO START...Oh I mean FINISH...

Progress So Far...
