Gingerbread House Party at the Markers

Another good reminder that Christmas is just around the corner is the Markers' annual Gingerbread Party. By some weird chance, Damith and I ended up with the same design ideas(call it what you want, i didn't copy your idea, Damith!!). So, we decided to just do one design between us. A Chandra-millsers team. Between Damith's ingenuity and my crazy enthusiasm, we were the dream team. Some may call it a nightmare. But we sure egged each other on and stayed up wayyyy late preparing for this house!

The day has arrived. Look at his crazy face!!!

Damith was in charge of building stuff

The rest of us that night

So, once Damith was done building, Sabrina, Hish and I started decorated and putting on the pretty bits. And hours and hours later, here's the fruit of our crazy ideas!

The house has "glass windows" made of carameled sugar and planters in the window!

Lights from within the house with home made garlands. And Damith did make the prettiest chimney and awesome fence.

Anyways, we were mightly pleased with the outcome, here are the rest of the competition which were pretty awesome too!

Stef-Anne's true model of their house..

The Marker's incomplete house(if they had a support team it would be done)

Chad and July's house(they won)

Julie and Ben's house

The neighbourhood

The support team - so that I can work in peace

I just thought this looked like an awesome picture.. just like a dream team! :)

Anyways, i think most people really up'ed their game this year and all the designs were pretty spectacular and definitely is a fruit of hard labour and dedication.

p.s. i think the Heide's presense and competition were definitely missed this year!!!
