Hey bumps, corney jokes are always the best!!! I'm not sure what i got myself into here, for the past few hours i was making gingerbread from scratch because they wanted to make....... gingerbread sleghs....? I swear i could eat my weight in that stuff!!! it is going to be messy and i think they will have a blast! But my sisters boyfriend just bought them a puppy and it is a menice!!! it has been biting my toes all day so we will have to see if we can get anywhere with her being so rambunctious!!! Good thing i hate dogs......lol........the puppie is cute though.

Hallmark on line has free tags!

thanks doll!

Pants, Good luck to you I remember when my kids were younger and even now trying to do a gingerbread house. It always started out fun but with 4 kids it always turns into a fight between them. Good thing tonight they are all out of the house and I just have the 5 month old grandbaby to contend with and she is so easy. All she does is smile and she is so beautiful. Shantel
oh!!! i am so jealouse!! little girls are so fun couldnt think of anything more humble or special!

man! i have wax paper everywhere............6 kids from 12 to 4 it is chotic!!! They are proud of me though i even made them fresh butter cream frosting. A perk from working in a bakery!!! good recapies!!
All though i found this little glue frosting pen i have my fingers crossed it is going to be a miracle invention........lol
how long do you have you grandbaby for?:)

Pants, Girls are fun until they start thinking they are grown. MIne are 15, 21, and 23 and sometimes they think they can buck up to their mother. Not happening here. Always got to remind them who the queen b---- is. The grandbabies are here for the weekend. Just sitting here wrapping Christmas presents. Shantel
How fun! well i deffinitly know that my mother wears the queen bee badge, as well as my sisters.......... i swear theirs are forged!

Did you wrap anything fun?

Hey, could you post that gingerbread and frosting recipe? They had the box kits; maybe that would be easier.
I wanted to do something like that with the animals.

They do wear you out, huh?
Kerry, I think the boxed gingerbread houses are hard to put together. Ours always turned out looking like crap. I'm not a crafty person. LOL on the animal statement that's how I feel. Kids will make you crazy.

Pants, How did your sleighs come out? Hope things settled down for you a bit. Shantel
wow - i could have sworn i replied to this thread last night - hmmmm - with my four year old grandson sitting on my lap, i must have forgotten to hit the "post" button.

go to:

http://www.elfyourself.com/

if you have a picture of your child or yourself (for those who still stand in awe of the wonder of childhood) you can upload it onto the elf's face and voila! you have your personalized elf who sings and dances. they give you a toll free line to call to record what you want to say. it will sound like a little elf voice but your christmas message will come through loud and clear. then you can email it to friends, yourself, or just watch it at their site.

enjoy!

Sammy i do that all the time and then when i reilize i am just to lazy to re do it.

My sleds turned out so cute!!! They have oversized candy canes for the slegh runners and then i took a cake decorating tip and did a lot of embelishing all around the top and snow, We used little peeps, (this was cheating) we saved the oval easter egg ones and coated them in red and made santas sack, they were cute!!!

I have to admit though that i did end up using a tig of super glue!! who eats them anywyas.

Little Beach i will post the recepie for you, but to be honeys, the kits are a god send, we used those all the time in the bakery i worked at, but they sell out so fast good luck findidng them, But the tube of frosting glue i bet you could still find and it worded wonderss!!!! They also have a little sprinkle grinder that helps you make the snow shiney............... man i must of been bored!!!
