Please vote!

Should I beg, grovel, plead???  I have never tried to win a contest getting people to vote on facebook so bear with me here.  It's a little like being a salesman (which I stink at.... but I can be sold almost anything though!). 

If you want to be a friend :) and vote just go to your facebook and look up Ivory Homes and click that you 'like' the site.  Then find the 2010 Gingerbread House Contestants and click on that and you will see all the entries.  Mine is number 41 and when you double click on it you just scroll down and click 'like' again at the bottom.

Thanks a million for your support and I promise not to bug you about any more contests... at least until next year at this time!

Tis the season...

Well, here are some pics of my gingerbread creations....... sorry, the picture of our entry in this years festival was taken when it was unfinished.  It is a 'smurf ' house in the base of a tree and turned out adorable but I forgot to take a picture of the finished deal.  Anyone have one they can e mail me?

This first one is for the Ivory Homes gingerbread contest.  Vote for me on facebook! (Dec. 16- 21)
This cute & little one will be given away in a drawing at Santaquin City Library!
That last one is a replica of our city library and it was jinxed from the start!  Can you see how the frosting is missing on the front?  Guess I got it a little dry and it just began popping off.  Then, when it was sitting on the kitchen counter, 'someone' spilled water on it so we had to cover that spot up with bushes.  Lastly, I didn't get the candy sugar windows up to a high enough temp. so they are dripping... slowly dripping.  Oh well, it was a freebie, so 'YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR'.
