Once Upon a Time...

...there was a blog chic who really fancied building a gingerbread house for Christmas Day.

Every year it would reach a certain stage of development,

using various plans and construction methods....

and then collapse!

But finally, after many, many years of prototypes and failures,

she got the structural design and building materials just right!

A frame shape, and toffee to stick it all together.

Perfect!

"She who is proficient at separating eggs" had a plan for the decoration.







And The granny was in charge of cute marzipan animals


to sit on the roof and outside in the snow.
There were ducks, and cats, and ring tailed possums and wombats of course!

And a gingerbread man to stand guard outside.

And they all lived happily ever after!
