So I get the privilege of decorating the library I work at for Christmas and the holiday season this year! I have the idea to build a book display for a while now and decided I wanted it to look like a gingerbread house. I ran the idea past my mom in August/September and she was excited to help. We drew up some plans and spent about a month shopping for materials (who knew you could buy fake donuts and cupcakes?), cutting and framing (my mom got a jigsaw for her birthday), painting, gluing, etc. Below are pictures of our process and the finished product. I hope you enjoy.

Once I get it set up at the library, I will post another picture!
