Did you come up with that one by yourself or get that idea from someone else. It is so cleaver! We never made a gumdrop house just the tree... <BR/><BR/>It is funny the small things that amuse the men folk! Premade icing, Go Figure that!

One thing I used to make was a wreath with wrapped hard candy. I would tie a pair of small scissors by a ribbon on it and hang it on my office door for my co-workers to enjoy during the Holiday season. My Mother always made a gumdrop cake. After her death I have carried on the tradition and make it each year to share with my Sisters.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06844563083948984664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-56352008514002803152007-12-17T16:37:00.000-06:002007-12-17T16:37:00.000-06:00Hi Guys, The kids each made a gingerbread hous...Hi Guys,<BR/> The kids each made a gingerbread house when in 1st grade. They took a school milk carton (I believe this was so it could be transported home) iced it with frosting and used gram crackers glued to the sides of it. They were cute esp. because they made a yard out of batting, candy canes for fencing, m&m s for the walkway, cake decorations for flowers.<BR/>Skeeter, your trip soundsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-30257937762072684852007-12-17T16:33:00.000-06:002007-12-17T16:33:00.000-06:00Skeeter, Forgot to say, I like all of the trees bu...Skeeter, <BR/>Forgot to say, I like all of the trees but I especially liked this picture because of the wonderful garland hung across the door to tie in with the tree. That is why I chose it.

It was good it was warm, but bad you weren't prepared with your clothing:) We never know the weather here in the south!<BR/><BR/>I am looking forward to the Savannah garden pictures. Are they in the Charleston style (courtyard and formal)? I didn't know the founder of the Girl Scouts lived in Savannah and that is interesting to tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-90384490237815953402007-12-17T16:05:00.000-06:002007-12-17T16:05:00.000-06:00Ops, I forgot to mention about the Ginger Bread ho...Ops, I forgot to mention about the Ginger Bread house. Duh....<BR/>I think it is great that Jimmy and his dad take the time to build Gingerbread house each year. That is a wonderful memory they will keep for a life time.<BR/><BR/>I have never made a gingerbread house and always wanted to. I always thought of baking the walls and roof from scratch and pick up the decorations by the bag full.

What a wonderful surprise to see my Snowman hall on your blog Tina! I thought for sure you would pick the fruit and berry tree instead but with all the talk of snow lately, it does fit in with the chit chat… LOL….<BR/><BR/>Wow, did we see the color in the gardens of Savannah! I snapped some pictures and will pass them on to you Tina. TheSkeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.com
