This is a very simple project, and easily achievable. It can be dressed down or dressed up, depending upon your decorating skills. Just imagine this gingerbread treasure box filled with Almond Rocha sitting on your coffee table, Yummmmy. (Click on the photo to see a more detailed view.)
	Here is another sweetheart project, but don't let its looks deceive you. This is a hard egg to bake. I had problems with this project; however, once the egg is baked, it is sensational. I made a panorama egg out of this pattern; I cut a hole at one end and positioned an Easter scene inside. So that the light could get inside, I cut a hole on top and placed a hard candy window.

	If you haven't tried a gingerbread haunted house, why not! It is so much fun. You work in white, yellow, orange, brown, and black. It is a real change of pace. This photo comes directly from the The Gingerbread Book. I used it as the prototype for the house I made. (Click on the photo to see a more detailed view.)
	When I made my house, I mistakenly assembled the house and did not promptly ice it. (I was going to do it later.) In the meantime, the carpet cleaners came. My home had too much humidity, and my gingerbread house acted like a sponge and soaked it all in. You can guess the rest. The roof collapsed, leaving a huge hole; but, the disaster worked out great. Now the house looked abandoned and haunted. I had bats and a witch flying out of the hole. (When you get lemons, make lemonade.) (Click on the photo to see a more detailed view.)
	Spend some time looking at the detail on this turkey. This beautiful photo speaks for itself. The only variation I made was to subsititute the square body for an egg shaped body. In the egg body, I cut a slit in one end for the head/neck assembly, and a flat end on the other side for the tail. (Click on the photo to see a more detailed view.)
	This chapel is included by a special request from Robbin & Royah of Lincoln, California. You will need its assembly instructions and its pattern to complete the project. (Click on the photo to see a more detailed view.) (© 2001 Wilton Industries, Inc.)
	I tried my hand at constructing this Victorian style house. I made it back in 1983. It was requested for a 50th anniversary celebration. It seems the couple eloped, and their children wanted to commemorate their wedding night in a big way. It's true, he did put a ladder against her parents' two story house, and she scampered down to him. (Click on the photo to see a more detailed view.)
	This is another view of the same house. As you can see, there is no candy, just piped icing decoration. I used small dolls for the couple. (Click on the photo to see a more detailed view.)
	This is a gingerbread brothel. I made this house for a batchelor party. There is a gingerbread madam seated outside in front of the door, and the gingerbread "Lady of the Night" is hanging out the window encouraging her next patron. (Click on the photo to see a more detailed view.)
