Candy Land

I used to work for a company that held seminars for people interested in Real Estate. I was on the phone with a customer one day and they asked, "Do you realize the knowledge you have at your fingertips?!" I awkwardly admitted I had never attended a seminar or looked through any material. The customer, completely amazed at my lack of interest, refrained from scolding me and I mentally committed to learn the tricks of the trade. The knowledge I left with wouldn't qualify me as an instructor but it is enough to appreciate these fine works of gingerbread houses - well, graham cracker anyway.

I like the fixer upper.

You have a great imagination, a wicked sense of humour and if you made those houses, you're very creative!
Thanks for the laughs...

Those are so cool! Did you make them?? To answer your question on my blog, I just used Photoshop to create the 3x3, but I think most people use a specific program that creates the mosaics for you with your own pictures (that's why mine is not very even!). And don't worry, I didn't know how to reply to your post on my blog so I replied on yours! :)

Aluwicious: You currently are the high bidder.

Thinker: It's, uh, very sweet.

Beth: Thanks! and You're Welcome.

Celine: I made the first one. My sister and her boyfriend made the double wide and my 9 year old brother made the fixer upper. He crammed as much candy on that thing as possible. It must have weighed 5 lbs!

Those are...very sweet?! They make my teeth hurt just looking at them. What a hoot! Must've been fun making them. I don't think they'll stay on the market for long. I see a natural disaster in store for them soon :)

I like the 1 bed 1 bath... not so many bathrooms to clean. I think the kids would be all over the fixer upper.
