So last week on Twirlit, I posted about Gingerbread Houses and how I’ve come across some that just blow my mind. I for one, have zero artistic ability (and no Internet shame) so I’ll share here what I didn’t share on Twirlit… My personal experience.
Seriously, the one time I attempted to construct one, it turned out all sorts of wrong. I got a kit since it seemed mindless, simple, and FAIL proof – right? Well… check this out:
FAIL
I followed the directions and it still turned out like that. How is that even possible? (picture circa 2005ish) Since then, I have Gingerbread House TRAUMA and have not attempted to make another.
Have you ever made one?

monasfeed on FriendFeed- You guys, quick - help me decide: (440) 940-MONA or (650) 918-MONA ...650 is the area code of my hometown.
- Everyone, thanks for you help! My new number is: (678)HEY-MONA Happy Saturday :) #fb
- You are so RETIRED!
- OH: You upgrade your women like you upgrade your hardware. #LOL
- I like Belltown very very much. That is all. :)
- BREAKING: Sharpie comes out with its first pen. First. Sharpie. Pen. http://bit.ly/uyTwA #ILoveOfficeSupplies
- @JessicaRandazza What is this "sun" you speak of? :)
- @rahsheen ATL, baby (even if I've only been to the airport LOL) Chick-Fil-A ftw. :)
- Superman wearing his underwear over tights is #unacceptable
- @violetmae I was kicking myself the first time around, so this time, I chose very very wisely :) But you have a coveted 213, right?
You’re so hard on yourself! And the picture made me laugh. FAIL. But the picture is WIN! I am more a consumer of gingerbread homes than a builder. I’d even eat the gumdrops off a gingerbread house if I knew they were glued on.
I think I have a problem.
LG – I think you need to zoom into the image because it is all sorts of FAIL hahahhahaha! But I’m glad I made you laugh.
And the glue explains it. Yes you DO have a problem!! But it’s ok. I am here for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. :)
Thanks for the laugh, Mona … I blame the kit, though. They never give you enough icing or candy to make it look like it’s depicted on the box. Your house is definitely unique. LOL!
Merry Christmas!
:D
OMG THAT is TOTALLY it, Brandon. There is not enough icing!!!!! And unique is too nice. That is a piece of shit. HAHA
Merry Christmas to you too, B
:)

I wish I had pictures. And this year we didn’t get around to it. My daughter and I have a semi-tradition of making a gingerbread house from scratch, with no pattern. They usually come out looking incredibly dilapidated. A couple of years ago we started calling it a “ginger-crack-house” – is that wrong?
I had no part in making this one last week – but my wife and her sisters did a bang up job!
