In the next two days I will be delivering the rest of the gingerbread houses. So I am doing the last minute preparations like assembling the gingerbread houses, making the kits (putting the icing in Trader Joes' paper bags with tip and coupler ) and making sure that I do not forget anyones' order. Keep praying that I will be able to finish the last couple of houses and hopefully I will fill everyones' order.
All in all, this was a wonderful experience trying to get people to buy a gingerbread house and through it all I had my share of challenges. I was thrown off a whole week because of a death in the family, and also a fire placed us outside our home for one and a half days (and silly me forgot the sign-up sheets). But through these challenges, God showed how much he loved me with giving me strength to spend hours pounding dough into the molds and my awesome, support group - my family and friends. My Mom helped me organize the paperwork, my sister, Andrea, used her talent of baking and worked side-by-side with me and with aid of a friend, my brother-Connor- was my sales person, Alexander helped me put all the ingredients into the mixing bowl and other odd jobs, Mrs. Kirby helped me with getting the word out and being the drop-off point for my Orange County deliveries, and finally my dad for helping me with this blog and numerous computer problems. I am truly blessed for such a wonderful church family!
