Gingerbread Orchid House

[JSundbakken]

Just in time for Christmas in July, I have finished building and decorating the Greenleaf Orchid as Santa's Gingerbread House. Mrs. Claus, Santa and his brother Krampus live in this house with the elves where they make toys, check the naughty and nice list, sip tea and eat cake. The house includes a study, workshop, family room and bedroom. Started building last December, now 8 months later, I was helped in making design decisions by my 4 year old daughter, who loves to play with "Gingy". We've been cranking up the music box which plays "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and eating spice drops while playing.

Nice job,Jennifer.  When you have made five posts you can put your pictures into albums in the gallery and paste them into your posts; sooner or later you will run out of bandwidth to post photos from outside.  Did I miss your intro in the Newcomers' Forum?

Very well done!   And you say this is your first dollhouse?  You are quite the natural miniaturist.   I look forward to your future endeavors.
