    Hi Sean! Ambitious and determined...well said! I really appreciate the more-than-30 hours you painstakingly spent to achieve this look. Excellent! For all the tips you shared with us, here's a couple for you. Puffy paint works well to create faux icing. I wasn't familiar with that detail glue pen, so I definitely want to get one of those. Also, regular sewing thread can be used instead of fishing line so you don't see the shimmer of the nylon. Depending on the dominant background color of the space, you can choose a color thread to match and it nearly disappears (especially at night!). Keep in mind the weight of what you're hanging and get a guage strong enough to support it. BTW - the 'actively falling' snow during the "how it all came together" was a nice effect! You take home the gold with this one! Nice, nice job.

    Oh my goodness! Boy did you put the big pot in the little one on this one. You kept saying it can't be perfect, but everything was completed with pains taking perfection. Those are some fancy gingerbread houses you have there. It looks like a peaceful little village out of the 1800s. I love the music at the end and the day fading into evening. So pretty.

    I made cardboard gingerbread houses using 10 inch square boxes. I cut the eaves of the house,cut out doors and door. Painted them. I cut out doors and windows. I used paint puff paint and ordered plastic pepper rounds and candy canes.
