Gingerbread Village that wasn't...

The kids and I sat down and tried to make a gingerbread village last weekend. I prepared everything, including the icing. But when we sat down and actually attempted to put the little houses together that's when the frustration kicked in. The icing wasn't holding it together well enough for the kids and when the bag of icing popped opened, that's when Chastity says in a frustrated tone, why don't we just eat it then. I looked at her a little surprised, continued to pick up the little chimney, but instead of adding it to my house slipped it into my mouth. I knew what that would start but at that point I didn't care. And this is what we were left with... That white patch is where the bag of icing popped. We decided that it's what makes more sense to us anyway, we live in the forest. :)

Here are a few photos of Mikhail and what he got for his birthday...

And here he is having a blast throwing snowballs at everyone. :)

I am being referred to another doctor who does Prolotherapy for my chronic pain now because although acupuncture works for a while it is not long term. They have finally figured out that because I have a flexible body type, when I got hit that hard in the accident my ligaments were stretched too far and that is why everything keeps popping out of their joints and why my muscles are always so tense, they are doing the work of holding everything together. I get to wear a belt to hold my hips in place too. A $40 fashion statement that not to many people find fashionable, I think they are just jealous, lol.

Here is my layout for Lotus Paperie this week. The challenge is to scrap a layout without any photos.
I used tissue paper and stickles for the wings...

Thanks for peeking :)
