    Monica's face at 15:35 when you say you have one more house to go is priceless! It seems she's trying to stay calm but inside thinking "WHAT! ONE MORE HOUSE? How much more cutting will that take?" You all are such a good team together. I think I love your interactions more than the creation. Thanks for bringing us along.

Also the bonding time you spent with your Mom and Monica are the greatest moments you will cherish forever.

    Even though this video was not garden related, I think it is one of my favorites. It was so much fun to watch it go from a cardboard washer box to an amazing gingerbread village. They were all so cute and I completely agree that it would be hard to stop decorating. You could just keeping adding fun things. Your creativity is beyond amazing and I just know that you are going to get nothing but positive comments from your customers. Thanks so much for filming this whole process. It really has gotten me in the mood for Christmas decorating ❤️

      This was fun! My mom and her 3 sisters were crazy talented all in different areas. My nana & her mother too. I love glitter! Its funny the older I get the more sparkly I like things lol. I would have glittered everything lol... I love the "details". Put my tree up a week ago and for the first time a silver tinsel tree. We have rescue pups and couldn't put a tree up last year they would have destroyed it so this year I put the empty tree up for a couple wks to see what they would do. The dogs like to chew branches so I will put several fresh trees outside and try again next year. We've been putting up lights all over the farm the chicken coop too lol. Been a rough year for a lot of us, I feel everyone needs it, our neighbors have recently lost spouses and we lost our grandmother over the weekend she was 88, so some joy is needed! I usually watch everyday but been so busy with cleaning & crafting so got behind. I am binge watching and resting today since I over did it yesterday (probably the last 2 wks) hanging lights on the barn, horse corrals and even our vintage camper lol. My illness causes severe joint/muscle pain and its attacking my arms and shoulders so with hot water bottle it is a good day to catch up even though my mind is in over drive and wants desperately to get moving. Its lousy getting old. I would watch her (Laura) watching paint dry lol... Happy decorating & happy thanksgiving!!!

    Laura, such a wonderful video of three beautiful women enjoying each other‘s company, and having a passion for what you do. Your encouragement of your moms ideas is too cute, and your sister is there to do whatever needs to get the job done. As a crafter I totally understand that you sometime have no idea the direction you’re going in, but that’s half the fun. I just love your artistry, and creativity. You are such a blessed family, thank you for sharing these moments with us. It truly brings me joy to watch you and your family create these moments.

    Rick rack! I laughed so hard when you and your sister were confused! I knew exactly where she was going with that idea - hiding cracks and such like you do with caulk around a window. Love love love these houses. May steal the idea to do with the grandkids on a MUCH smaller scale. Real gingerbread is great but I hate how it attracts bugs in the house when you leave them out. This is a great alternative.

Door and windows and a cardboard stove and fridge inside. It cost almost nothing and they played in it for ages! I can only imagine how cute you could make one, because these are adorable!♥️

The inspiration from seeing you tackle something new and have fun with it, is worth so much more because it gives me the confidence to try something too :) Thanks, Laura & family!

Apparently, she used it (rickrack) in place of ruffles, because my mother complained to her about how hard they were to iron. Those windows are going to make everyone's day. Everyone walking by, driving by, or just knowing they're there... In fact, those windows have made MY day. Thank you!!

      I remember dresses of polished cotton. That was when people actually dressed to look nice. Now you see people in grubby clothes or flannel pj pants everywhere. When did Americans give up and become sloppy?! ☹️

    Your Mom is just a TREASURE. She’s one of a kind and I know that all this creativity flowed originally from her. She’s the Original fountain of garden knowledge. And, with all there great experience, you can still make her blush.
    So charming!

    Even though Benjamin was a little disappointed about baking ginger bread several vlogs ago, this must have thrilled him. Thanks for bringing us a long, Great job Andrew's Crew! ⛪

    Watching this project come together filled me with so much happiness! I'm going to get together with my daughter, my sister, and my nieces to do something like this with them, but on a smaller scale. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing this fun family project with us. It was so heartwarming!

    I remember being young and having these type of ideas and then having fun putting it together. Making things appear as I went along gave me so much joy, I can see that in Laura, her mom and sister. This gives me so much joy - it's like going back to my youth. My mom was exactly like Laura. Thank you. I can't tell you how much I enjoy Laura's joy and creativity. It makes me feel young again just watching her!

    New Gardner in Ohio: I was also excited to see this project come together. You don't only make pretty floral arrangements, but you also have a gift to create pretty things. The ginger bread houses turned out awesome. It is also sweet to see the girls coming together and making it a special time to.

    How wonderful! Thank you for sharing! My girls used to call the drippy frosting "frosticles". I had forgotten that until this video! Thank you. Your mom is such a gem! "You guys should know what rick-rack is..." 💗 Those window boxes!! So Laura-esque! Just a wonderful video!

    I LOVE this type of creative content! Similar to when you created the arched window panes for the church a few years ago! I love seeing what you come up and how you create something from nothing! It's so inspiring! Now I want to try to create a cardboard gingerbread house or maybe even tackle my own version of a Advent house similar to the one in Christmas Vacation! I can see it now....Thanks for all you do Laura and for sharing it with us!

    Laura, this is thrilling!!! So exciting to see!!! Thank you. My father was an artist. He would sketch then create in his workshop. He worked at the Oregonian then for the LA Examiner as Editorial Art Director. He carved a statue of our Siamese cat and so many great projects. Love your work!!!

    This is so fun to watch it reminds me of when my mom was still teaching 3rd grade and made all of her room decorations and bulletin boards. As I got older I started to help her with those or took on the project entirely. She's been retired from teaching now since 1998.

    Hey there Laura! Just wanted to let you know I’ve been an avid watcher on CZcams for the past year and have many projects to thank you for around my own house. My daughter and I love to watch you and it’s a great way for us to bond over garden spaces. She’s 3 and we’re both April babies so all things Spring and full of color, are our jam! We love Christmas time especially and you guys did such a wonderful job on these Gingerbread houses. You’re mother is just so cute and I’m pretty sure you are going to have to host an event once all this is past us. I won’t say the C word. My baby loves seeing Benjamin and your kitty cats and look forward to all things Garden Answer has to bring in the future. Thank you to the, Hey Guys every morning and the beautiful spaces that bring joy to our days! ❤️🪴⛲️👩‍🌾
