More Gingerbread Friday

  Hi everyone. It's another Friday, and for those who celebrate Christmas, it's now less than a week away. (Wasn't it just Thanksgiving?)  For me, my family will be celebrating  on the 23rd and 24th since this year my daughter is going to spend the actual holiday with her husband's family.

   Today I am joining Nicole for her Friday Face Off and also Gillena for her Friday Lunch Break. This past Monday I shared some cool gingerbread art I saw at a display put on by the Portsmouth Historical Society in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.   I thought I'd be festive and share a few more today. If you missed the ones from Monday you can find the most here: T Stands for Gingerbread.

   I saved the ones with lots of faces for Friday Face Off today. 😏

     This first one has no face as it's the ghost of Christmas future from Dicken's Christmas Carol.  Look at that fondant lace. It's pretty amazing.

   This next set of photos shows the business category winner. It's a rendition of Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water (for those of you who may not be familiar with the architect or the building).

   This under the sea view may not be the most technical, but I thought it was a clever idea.

And for another ocean scene how about this giant squid and the submarine?

   And for the Dr. Who fans, here's a few daleks for you.

A few of the adult creations

  How about a mouse trying to pull Santa's sleigh on an airport runway?

   Or Godzilla...

  I think there were close to 100 gingerbread houses that people entered.  I'll finish with this one which has a local connection to the Celia Thaxter home out on one of the Isles of Shoals (a small group of islands 6 miles offshore from Portsmouth). Celia Thaxter was a famous poet in the late 1800's, and she is originally from the seacoast of New Hampshire.

I hope you enjoyed the gingerbread constructions. Have a great Friday and weekend ahead. And for those of you who celebrate Christmas but I only "see" on Friday's, I wish you a wonderful holiday.
