I was so impressed with this gingerbread house that one of our clients, Jennifer Dunn, made that I just had to share it. My family does gingerbread houses every year but this one beats all! I think when it comes to houses, I'll stick with renovating them and I'll call Jennifer to bake one for me:)
Congratulations to Jennifer Dunn of Gold Canyon for being the Grand Prize Winner in the Martha Stewart Living Holiday Crafts and Creations Contest! Her gingerbread house is entirely edible, from the desert landscaping to the interior furnishings. Jennifer won a trip to New York City to attend the Martha Stewart Show and $400 towards M&M's World.
Weekend Warriors battle it out over Memorial Day Weekend! We pulled up our sleeves and conquered the great "Honest John's Lumber" yard of the past. Our families beloved property north of Payson is the site of one of the first lumber yards in that region. Our Grandparents founded Honest John's Lumber (early 1970's) and ran a successful business for many years. Many of us grandchildren remember working summers at the lumber yard. Well many, many, years later we are working it again, only this time we are transforming what used to be a ghost of a business to a retreat in the woods. We reroofed part of the building, put a fresh coat of paint on the building, built a masonry firepit, and filled a 40 ton dumpster. Brothers, sisters, moms, dads, and grandparents were all victorious!
