Welcome to #MadeItMonday, where I post something I’ve made in the previous week, and where you can join in and post something you made too! The rules are easy: post a pic somewhere of something you’ve made in the last week (ish; let’s say in the last month as the hard-and-fast) and tag it. Sit back and enjoy scrolling through all the beautiful things we’ve collectively created, and celebrate the fact that humans can be awesome! 🙂
Okay this is sketchy and tenuous as heck, but whatever, I’m claiming it. Usually, most years, we bake a gingerbread house from scratch and the kids decorate (except that one time I accidentally forgot to make the walls of the house (wow, why do I have so much leftover gingerbread??) and we made gingerbread tents instead, HA). Kid1 loves it, because lollies and decorating, etc, so I do *try* to make this an annual thing.
This year, though, I am zonked. So, so much tired. So I was going to pass.
But then good friends of mine decided to host the not-quite-annual gingerbread housing day again, and lo, it was on the only free weekend day I had between then and mid-January, and hanging out with everyone would be Fun, so sure, why not.
Only, spoilers, I so did not get time or energy to magically bake gingerbread last week. So… we bought a kit. And not even a pre-baked but DIY kit like most everyone else had this year (seems like we were all on the time-poor train this year), but a pre-baked, pre-assembled kit. It came with icing and lollies. Literally all I had to do was paint the icing on the house and let the kids go wild with the supplied lollies, plus a few more I’d bought with it.
So yeah. Claiming this as a Made-it Monday is sketchy as hell, but you know what? It is what it is. And I’m claiming it 😛 😀 On display: the side decorated by my 3-yr-old daughter and 3-yr-old nephew. I think they were going for the ‘candy store vomited artfully onto canvas’ look 😀 😀
What have you (tenuously, kind-of sort-of) made this week? Don’t forget to tag your contribution, or even better, leave a link in the comments!! I love seeing what inspiring things other people have made 🙂 🙂 🙂
