Visitor Page
Over the years I have had quite a few emails and messages in my guestbook from people who have either enjoyed the photos of my gingerbread houses or used the recipes or instructions - or both, and I would like to encourage you all to continue sending me emails, messages and photos of your finished products. Good quality photos are really appreciated and could end up here on this page if you want to. Please leave out your family members, take only photos of your gingerbread house, and try to take the photos in daylight without using a flash if possible.
Please send me the original photos, straight from your camera, even if they are up to 4-6 MB in size, I will make them the right size for the web-site. Please send about 6 - 10 photos in total, and include a brief description of you and your project. You can split the photos over several emails. Please let me know where you are from too. I am happy to include photos of projects other than my gingerbread mansion described on this site, so if you have made a lovely gingerbread house and used a different pattern there is room for your photos too. The first photos are already here so start sending photos of your own gingerbread houses. Good luck with your project!
