You may remember this No-Bake Haunted Mansion I yakked about here, from the No-Bake Gingerbread Houses site by Lisa Anderson, author of No-Bake Gingerbread Houses for Kids. Well, the author sent me a copy, and I love this darling book so much, I shamelessly requested more for you!
This book is perfect for anyone, young or old, with even a passing fancy in edible crafting. Learn to easily build houses, cottages, castles, huts, bungalows and more using graham crackers, cookies, ice cream cones, waffle bowls and candy. Sure, gingerbread houses are apt as we countdown to Christmas, but the beauty of this book is its year-round appeal. Projects include a fairy tree house, a mermaid palace, a Dutch windmill (with candy tulips!), a big red barn (with sunflowers and sheep!), a Caribbean bungalow, a Tiki hut, an igloo… Just a sampling, all with step-by-step how-tos. And the No-Bake Gingerbread Houses site is full of ideas to get you started.
And now… THE GIVEAWAY!
Leave a comment before Sunday, November 21, midnight EST, and I’ll chose TWO winners randomly to get a copy of No-Bake Gingerbread Houses for Kids.
US addresses only, please!

Last year I made my first gingerbread house by myself without Mom’s help. My daughter’s loved decorating it but it sure was a pain to get the pieces cut right! This would be great!
I would love to win this! I make so many edible crafts with my 3 nieces and nephew and Gingerbread Houses is one of them. I love that this book has them listed for all occasions. Very cool and alot of fun!
Maybe this book could help keep our gingerbread house together, last year it collapsed inwards!
No baking a gingerbread house is the way I want to go! Thanks for the contest!!
My kids like to do a gingerbread house each year. I usually buy pre-baked, but these look really cute!
The ideas that fill my head when looking at just these pictures make me wanna fill my baking cupboards with goodies and my friends parties with fun food! Would love to get my hands on the whole book!
This book looks fantastic! My grandchildren and I could have hours of fun working on these projects. I love the igloo and penguins house!
What a great family activity. Please enter my name in your drawing and thanks to the authors for being so generous.
