If this doesn't gladden your heart, yours must be very unlike mine!
I made these with & for my daughters when they were small. Each little gingerbread house was about 3 cm high. Afterwards we ate the whole village like 3 Godzillas🦖.
Really hope your day has good things in it, especially if you struggle with this time of year x🌿

It would be so helpful if you could RT my post above about my Etsy shop. I haven't been able to work for more than half the year due to severe depression/a breakdown. If you see this & could spare a few moments for a RT it would help me put my designs in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿

That as a form of effective relief,
Paracetamol would
Be next to no good
From the pain of the Satsuma-in-Chief.

What Laura describes here mirrors my own experience with Unbound / Boundless over the last year or so.

Please read and share this thread.
