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 chimney  Fondant Santa and snowman  Mini-wheats r

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
