It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas! ...

These past 24 hours have seen the creation of my first (of many!) festive gingerbread constructions: a wee Swiss village and a house with just a few pink features, for some very special little and not so little ... kids! There's nothing like the smell of gingerbread baking to signal the start of the Christmas season, here!

A very special pink-featured Christmas gingerbread house!
