Gingerbread Ideas

We decorated our gingerbread house the other night and my daughter thought it was such a hoot! We let her go for it and do it completely how she wanted. Here are a few of my favorite gingerbread ideas that have caught my eye so far this year. Also, have you seen these adorable gingerbread house invites? They would be perfect for a gingerbread house party. Are you going to decorate a gingerbread house or any gingerbread treats this year?

Gingerbread Houses 2

Here is a more cutesy look at gingerbread houses, and if you aren't in the mood to make a house, but still want that tasty gingerbread flava, you could always try a gingerbread tree or tower like the last image.

Modern Gingerbread Houses

Shugah time . . . here is a fresh look at some of my favorite modern gingerbread houses. If you are not in the mood to bake and make, you can still purchase #1 from Red Envelope (via Children's Illustration). #2 CBGB is from Honey Bunches of Trouble's Flickr #3 is from yumsugar via here , #4 is from bellewood gardens. Seen any more modern gingerbread darlings out and about, or made your own? Do share, I would love to see.

Happy Monday.

I hope you all had a nice weekend, ours was full of gingerbread house making, watching the snow fall, and staying indoors (as our daughter has still been battling a nasty cold -- we finally think she is almost better - yes!). As for gingerbread houses since it is really cold lately we decided to make Christmas in Bora Bora but unfortunately a storm came (our daughter playing with it) before we got a great shot.
