I found this lovely Barbie A Frame House at one of my favorite thrift stores in Atlanta, GA. It was missing parts but a great price, so of course it had to me mine!
Oh yes, there are plans to paint it and find the missing parts...one day.

In the meantime, I decided to use it to created a Barbie Gingerbread House!
Here's the house with the foam core inserts.

I used postage brown paper to simulate the gingerbread
and batting for the snow covered roof.

Fuzzy yarn created my icing...

And every gingerbread house must have candy accents!

I made fake 'candy' windows and added gumdrops, licorice and candy canes -
can't have to much candy!
I used ornaments for the train, sleds and mini gingerbread house shown below. There is candy hanging off the trees.

Wishing you peace, love and dolls, dolls, and more dolls!
