Christmas House 1


Christmas House 1
Originally uploaded by John & Katie.
This is the start of my very first attempt at making a gingerbread house. Made from graham crackers so from here on it will be called a Christmas house. It took several days to complete and I was pleased with the way it turned out. I didn't have a pattern only my imagination to go on. John decided to record my progress.

The original tree died. This is growing from the roots? Or is it some sort of weed? I have not been able to identify it yet. The tree that died was a weeping mulberry. Most likely a grafted tree. HELP!!!
