I'm from the Pittsburgh area (the better side of the state) hahaaaaa

Thanks everyone!

Lucy - I did build a little snow base which is kind of tough to see in the picture because it is sitting in real snow. I used the same material for the snow base as I did for the snow on the roof/tree/logs/wreath. It really is a nice material to work with and turns out great!

I guess I'm the only one that likes A-frames haha.

Here's another teeny tiny one that I built that has about a 1 1/4" footprint and is about 1 1/2" tall. The house itself is cardboard coated in sand. The doors and windows are cardboard that I painted. The wreath is also cardboard that is coated in ...

I saw some pictures of some of these houses a ...

Hello everyone!

Here is a picture of the set of 8 houses that I mentioned in my welcome post. I was looking for this particular set for a while and this set finally came up on eBay a bit before Christmas.

Thanks for looking!

I forgot to mention I have a wonderful dog named S'mores! Here are some pictures from our first Christmas at the real life A-frame Putz cabin that I am building.
