So, Barb, Howard's attention to detail has trumped your attention deficit disorder?

good afternoon to all...

the barn-style house is finished...and will be on the way to it's new home in a couple of weeks...

it was a fun project...lots of pieces to cut and fit...you can just see the little yellow rockers on the porch...

the trees look black...but they are just a very dark green...the little santa is actually a lionel train figurine...

my very best regards...howard...

What a wonderful house and you have done such a beautiful job. A true masterpiece! I can almost hear the crunch of the snow beneath Santa’s feet.

I agree, it is MAGNIFICENT!!! The chairs are such a cool addition! One question, is the door a printed door or is it the gold pin stripe tape. I noticed it had a little gold square in one of the panes. If that's pin stripe tape you must have the hands of a surgeon to make such a perfect square!!! LOVE IT! :)
