Yes, I Know it's Post-Hallowe'en, and I Ain't to Martha Stewart. ;)

But I'm still proud o' my dilapidated li'l Haunted Hollows Hallowe'en gingerbread house anyway. ^_^   They had templates n' stuff, but I proverbially chucked 'em as I like to do stuff my own way.   One thing I can't get though- how in HELL do you keep the frosting nozzle ON the frosting tube???  Mine kept coming off, and although I got it to work for a while after I taped it on, the derned thing still overloaded and popped off again. (Fortunately that was later after I'd done all the detail work and was pretty near done w/the project.)  This was from a Hallowe'en kit I got at Wal-Mart, and I am just -too tickled- that they've got an All Hallows equivalent to the classic Christmas type. :D:D

Oh! Plus, I'm extra proud of Monsieur Ghosty.   He's actually filling a hole that I'm guessing was broken into the roof and side of the house during transit.  That whole side of the roof was cracked w/that hole missing too, so I leaked a bunch of frosting down into the crevice as well as inside the wall's resulting hole & put Mr. Ghosty there to fill it.  It almost looks like he's there on purpose, huh? ;D

This plus all the laundry I did today makes me actually productive for the day.. wow...! ;D

(Oh, and sorry for the orange smears around the base- the house came rooted to the board, and that's what happened when I was acclemating to the icing and it kept drippin' offa stuff.  'S why I have the little coffin there on Mr. Ghosty's side- to cover up a seeerious smoodge. ;))
