(UPDATE: Now available in the Daisie store for $5.98 for the decorated house and $4.98 for the undecorated house.  Just click on the pictures to go there).  Gingerbread House Digital Craft Kit I have been working on these Gingerbread Cottages for almost two months and finally have them completed.  I have created one that is in essence a "blank" for you to decorate as you wish either by using my own Gingerbread Cottage Christmas kits that will also be coming next week or utilizing graphics you may already own. 

The Cottage kits are a nice large size, but are printed entirely off of letter sized cardstock so every one can create it no matter what printer you own. 

Gingerbread House Digital Craft Kit, PlainThese cottages can be used as gift boxes and look quite lovely when tied with a glittery wired ribbon bow to keep closed.  They can also be used to create your own Gingerbread Village display for the holidays.

I am working on add on kits that will have gingerbread people, trees, candy, signs, mailboxes, light posts, snowmen and other cute items to poplulate your village with.  I am having way too much fun on this (I thought this was supposed to be my work 🙂 )!

For the 100,000th visitor contest, we crossed 99,500 visitors early this afternoon and will probably go over the mark some time tomorrow.  If you want to be entered in the drawing for the random winner, be sure to post a comment today, tomorrow and every day until we cross as I will select from the comments on the actual cross over day!

THE PROVERB OF THE DAY:  Prov 9:13-18  The woman Folly is loud; she is undisciplined and without knowledge.  She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way.  "Let all who are simple come in here!" she says to those who lack judgment.  "Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!"  But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave.  NIV

UPDATE/EXPLANATION:  This proverb contrasts lady wisdom (the verses prior to the ones used today) and the woman folly.  The writer uses an artistic device to personify character traits and make them come alive.  I can only quote a small portion each day and I rotate through them picking a couple verses out of the proverb that matches the date as there are 31 proverbs, so sometimes you may need to pick up your bible and read it in it’s context to get its message clearly.

  4. These are great! Can’t wait to see them and of course GET THEM! I’m sure I’ll be able to use them for something!

  10. I just realized that I am totally baffled by today’s Proverb. (I put a short explanation as an update on that post. It’s a case of when you read the entire Proverb in its context it becomes clear, but quoting a portion as I’m limited to can be “baffling” 🙂 AJ)

  11. Thank you for clarifying it! I was pretty sure that was what was meant. I should have not been so lazy and gone to read it all for myself! 🙂

  12. I agree with Dixie, they look good enough to eat.
    Have a Very Special Day AJR for 11th Oct 2007, it’s the 11th here already and 12.16am.

  16. Oh, I’ve been meaning to come take a look at this. I LOVE gingerbread houses. Each of my kids makes one every year. I have been wanting to make a house we could keep!

  18. I love the gingerbread houses. My MIL has a lot of your work, and gets so many compliments on her gifts she makes for people. Hubby and I are living with his parents while our house is being be built, and I am starting to learn how to scrapbook and make cute little gifts from my MIL. (I’m so glad you wrote, welcome! Who is your MIL? It’s so awesome to hand craft your gifts, you give love along with special goodies when you make them with your own hands 🙂 Hugs, AJ)
