Dear Debbie :)
ReplyDeleteLovely colourful post. I have enjoyed seeing all these imaginative and decorative creations, What a delightful competition, that must give the judges a headache whilst deciding the winners for they are all worthy of a prize.
Have a happy week .:)
These are simply amazing and so inspiring. I need to save this one too share with our little guys when we do a house this year. (I need to buy one first!). Every photo is a gem. I'd hate to be a judge!
ReplyDeleteThey’re amazing. And look delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, thank you for sharing! Amazing!!! All are!
ReplyDeleteWow, they are all amazing gingerbread creations.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Love #16 and #29, though all are lovely. What a great part of the holiday season!
ReplyDeleteWhile I was looking at all those wonderful gingerbread creations, I thought I started to smell gingerbread. So, I turned around to see if perhaps someone had snuck in bringing me a piece but alas it was just my imagination.
ReplyDeleteWow, Debbie, I am always amazed at how people can MAKE things like this! Must take lots of patience. They are so pretty, I like the blue ribbon # 7 best although there were lots of others too. And I know I'm late, but your last two posts I REALLY enjoyed, that place is so amazing, gosh the work put into that! I love the stars set up to look like they're floating as they reflect on the water at night. And of course all those beautifully decorated trees and all the lights. Thats a photographers paradise all the times of year that y'all go, but especially pretty this time of year. Hope your days are going great and y'all are staying warm up there! HUGS
ReplyDelete"y'all"...i knew it was you debbi!!!
Deleteps...I use a different recipe but the secret to good biscuits is icy COLD BUTTER and to cut it into the flour. I don't have a pastry cutter but I just use a butter knife, it works great, just takes a little longer. And if the surface is ICE COLD too it helps. I have a marble cutting board, I clean it and refrigerate it and then make my biscuits on it, that and the icy cold butter makes mine turn out good and fluffy inside and browned nicely on the outside. Just didn't want you to GIVE UP on biscuits, and hopefully you'll maybe try again. I've had lots of flops too, ha ha LOL.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are simply amazing . . . great photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
The talent that entered the contest is amazing. I would love to see such a contest. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, those are some talented people and all these creations are fabulous. Thank you for sharing them all Debbie.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 " anonymous " comments up there--- that was me, debbi!! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a delectable display of homes and the winners shown here were well deserved. These bakers were very creative and patient as well.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Incredible works of art. I've never seen anything like this before, but it reminds me of the permanent exhibition of nativity scenes at the National Museum in Warsaw.
ReplyDeleteBest regards, and this time I invite you to view the photo gallery from the last exhibition :)
I'd want to be eating a few of those!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see how creative they can be with these, so many that I love, especially the buildings and that german market town is really cool! Our town does one in the store windows down town it is so neat to get see them, and a nice walk around town!
ReplyDeleteAmazing every single one of them! Some ideas I've never seen before. What a fun post, thank you so much for sharing and for the positive thought, it's spot on.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I only live 1/2 hour from Peddler's Village in the summer, I never have gotten to visit in the winter and see the Christmas decorations and gingerbread houses. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
