Decorate Your Own Virtual Gingerbread House

Well it looks like November caught up with me. Near the end of the last week, I started getting awful stomach cramps and they lasted pretty much through the weekend. And then I got feverish. And nauseated. And muscle-achy. Etc. Blech.

Basically I and most of the school age children in the village have fallen ill with a nasty version of the stomach flu. You see, I had the privilege of riding the bus with them several times in the past couple weeks . . . to and fro from the Internet café.

If you don’t know, the public and school bus are one and the same around here. Lucky public, I know.

Anyway, I’m very behind on answering comments and emails because I’ve been spending a lot of time sleeping, but I did have a chance to look at some of my favorite blogs over the weekend. So glad so many of you are still posting like mad!

One thing that I saw and had to share was a post on London Southern Belle with a link to Home Sweet Home–and a virtual gingerbread house that you can decorate yourself!

I probably won’t decorate my own house too much this year because I have moving boxes everywhere, not to mention puppies, so we’re a bit crowded; this gingerbread house was just the thing to help get me in the holiday spirit.

Never one to skimp on decorations (hi Scarlett!), I used about 90 percent of the little available doodads on that site. Too much fun!

Hope you enjoy this as much as I did–and, by the way, check out Allsorts, the blog with Home Sweet Home as that Jenny B Harris is one crafty woman.

And for those in Italy watching Sky–Happy Lost Season 3 Finale tonight! Woohoo!
