It's Christmas!



Well sort of ...At least that' s how it feels. I've gotten so much done on my Christmas house. Finished bricking the foundation, trimmed under all the eaves and the back edges and corners , shingled the back roof and front roof and am half way done shingling the gable. I'm really getting into it. Haven't even finished the shingles completely but had to start decorating. I made the little wreath on the front door and wrapped the porch in green garland. Planning on decorating that so it's not so plain. Also had to try out my village lights on the house. Fingers crossed they have the signs this year like last. I've got my eye out for a couple that would look really sweet in a snow covered yard. After the dreaded shingles are done, and I can find a proper roof cap, I'm going to go over the roof in spots with snow and then will add a base with wintery landscaping. I'll check out Walmart for an extra large frame to use as the base and go from there. The windows My mini record player console came in and my mom gave me a magnet stove to use. It's coming along and I'm having a ball finding those odds and ends that remind my of Christmas as a child. I'll take a picture of the record player later. I'm planning to make mini copies of my own records to display with it.

  3. What scale house is that? Hobby Lobby has cheap records in 1:12, and you would just have to make a the album cover. I agree - I hate the shingles. I try to do them early on, or I will never get them done!
