GINGERBREAD HOUSE making course 101 December 2, 2005 |
Getting ready. Everyone wash your hands? (Rita is banker of the white frosting.) |
Joanne get things rolling with a withdrawal from the white frosting bank. Rita obseres the transaction. |
Rita holds the foundation while the stonemason sets the cement (frosting that is.) |
Sharon checks the blueprints and makes the first inspection for adequate mortar*. |
Joanne has a problem. The mortar has dried on her finger. (that white cement * is REALLY sticky stuff! ) |
Put your finger over here. I'll lick it clean.!... / |
Joanne decides to soak her finger in water to soften the hardened mortar* . |
Rita and Joanne are mixing up another batch of mortar* using a century old formula of exotic colors |
Joanne asks Sharon to call the Emergency Rescue Squad. Her finger got stuck to the gingerbread house |
Cleanliness and tidyness counts extra here at Gingerbread House Making 101 |
How's this for a masterpiece? Joanne's team gets extra points for being able to patch a crack in the wall |
Just a little dab here will do it. Give me another pound of that green mortar * |
I'm first in line to lick the bowls ands spoons...so don't get in my way or buck the line! |
Oh golly ! Just look at all those life savers and chocolate coins and candy and icing and gingerbread and, and , please give me some!!! |
I hope they get done soon so I can get off this line and help licking er, cleaning up. |
Ahh. Gingerbread...my favorite snack !! |
