The Gingerbread Cabin
Here's our Athabascan cabin. That's animal pelt covering the door (aka rolled out caramel). You'll note that we have really big red salmon, especially when compared to the size of the sled
dogs!The cache is used as an outside freezer, with the ladder being removed if the residents leave home for any length of time.
Tess made the snowshoes, woodpile, roofing sod and part of the sled dogs and moose.
Also, my favorite... notice the moose poop!
I'll fully admit that I'm difficult to work with when it comes to the annual gingerbread project. And I'm well aware that this defeats the whole purpose of bothering... I tried to be as congenial as possible, and I think this year's efforts showed a great improvement in my gingerbread temperament. But by 10:30pm last night, I was getting a little punchy. Tess wisely decided it was her cue to call it a night... Smart kid that one!

Gingerbread.... It's everywhere!
You should pop in to see the houses at the Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg. I think they leave them on display all month. I left them my fishing cabin last year, so maybe they'll put that one out as well!
Ok I'm ready to move in. Is there an elevator to that outhouse? : )
Lots of great detail. Did you use swedish fish for your salmon? Good luck with the contest.
Yep, Swedish salmon... Not sure how well we'll do in the contest. There are only three in the 'family' category, but the other two are gargantuan. Ours sits between them and it looks like NYC where someone didn't want to sell so they built skyscrapers around a single family home... We're happy with our little cabin though!
