What fun! Thanks for sharing the fun that you’ve had.
That looks SO fun! Can I ask what kind of camera you are using? I love the quality of your blog pictures!
I just last spring got a used Canon 40D, which I LOOOOOVE! Thanks so much–I am just now getting decent at using the manual settings, but I still have tons to learn.

Such a good time! I love them! My kids are crazy about this project too!
We do these houses every year for my mom’s family Christmas. We compete with each other too and win silly prizes like Spaghetti-o’s and fun baked goods. Most of the adults participate also. We look forward to it every year.
Looks like so much fun! very creative and colorful.
