Due to hundreds of attempts to hack the registration system every week, we temporarily disabled the registration page. About a year ago. Sorry about that. We have now re-enabled the registration page, but we have made the requirements for registration a little more stringent. This may seem inconvenient to people trying to join, but it will make it far easier for us to keep creeps from getting far enough into the system to do any damage.
Thanks,
Paul

This forum is a place for our readers to pass on things they've figured out that will help other readers. Several folks who are experienced in building, collecting, and displaying putz houses stop by frequently, so check back for new ideas, and add some yourself. Any suggestions you have, things you've learned that you'd like to pass on, weird problems you need help with, all are welcome here. - Paul

If you have an unusual piece that you have questions about, this is the place to post them. Photos are VERY welcome, though it helps if you reduce them to 800 wide before you upload them. If you can't reduce them yourself, post them anyway and I'll try to reduce them when I have time.

In honor of "Papa Ted," we're starting a new "House of the Month" forum for each member who wants to participate to post his or her own house of the month.

Here's a place to post patterns you want to share, link to patterns you find elsewhere on the internet, and request particular kinds of patterns you're looking for. I've moved a few existing messages here to get the forum started.

Please use this forum for photos of your putz villages - some of you don't make your own houses, but you still display a lot of artistry when you combine and arrange them. And the rest of us would love to see your work. Again, it works best if you resize your photos to 800px wide or less before you upload them - Paul

If you would like to let the rest of us know a bit about you, especially if you have any special skills or knowledge that the rest of the group might be able to draw on, that would be good. Also, if you have a blog or other web resource that's related to what we do here. . .

What kind of figures have been used with cardboard Christmas houses and villages, where do you get appropriate figures today, how do you prepair, repair or otherwise maintain figures?

When you're talking about Cardboard Christmas (putz) houses, a photo is worth TWO thousand words. Here are some notes about posting photos on this forum.

Please, no blue humor, when I say tastless I mean that whoever designed this stuff was without measurable artistic sensibilities. Okay, starting this forum is probably a bad idea, but there's some pretty silly stuff out there.
