Adam and Joannie, Ivy House was my family's home for 23 years and Loretta made up the plans for it. I've only made the complete house once and it was spectacular!!!

I used hard candy for the windows and I lit the inside with those little light strings and set it up so I could turn the sets on and off at the back of the board. I also lit a tree I think.

I can't wait to see what you make. That house is about 130 years old now and I feel privileged to have lived in it for a piece of it's history. My husband and I were just laughing about trimming the ivy and what a pain it was, but how beautiful it looked.
