This (almost) edible confection, which is part of our personal holiday display, has been in the works since last year.  It took me a while to decide how to make the body of this house.  I finally settled on using a 4′ x 8’sheet of 1 1/2 ” rigid insulation, which was very easy to cut.  All of the decorative “candy & treats” are either from the Dollar Stores or from last year’s local after Christmas sales.  The Peppermint Flowers & window boxes were inspired by a suggestion from Ed Wendt. The lollipop weather vane is pointing “true North” thanks to an iPhone app.
