Years ago I would watch the ,  Omni Grove Park Inn National  Gingerbread  House  Competition  Display in Asheville, North   Carolina, on HGTV.  I was always in awe of all the gingerbread pieces the contestants would come up with, and I  thought that one day I would try one of my own. Every year, my family and I like to visit, Peddler's Village in New Hope, PA,  for their annual Christmas Festival, and that is when I realized, they host a Gingerbread competition of their own!  I knew one year I would enter....and finally, this was the year!! My son and I spent two months creating our very first gingerbread house. We had so much fun, and even though we didn't win, it was a wonderful experience and I'm glad to say that I finally did it!! :) Have you ever entered a Gingerbread Competition? Our masterpiece...  Trees from ice cream cones and icing  Sugar glass windows and pond  Jelly beans as rocks for our chi...

I've been wanting to dress up this built-in that is in our media/theater room, for awhile now. I had purchased this really cool, Timeless Treasures Movie Popcorn fabric on Amazon, awhile back and finally found the time to do this project. I used an old flat sheet that we never use, to make the bottom of the bench cover, and also create a pillow case for the accent pillow. I had an old cushion from a couch that we got rid of, and that cushion was a perfect fit for the space. For the accent pillow, I used felt to create my popcorn bucket. I'm pretty happy with the way this project turned out. Down the road, I will probably add some sconces and some type of movie poster on the back wall. Some of the sconces I'm considering. I love that they are wireless, so set up should be a breeze. Amazon.com Widgets
