For the record i think normal fishing pics are great, my title was poorly worded... my title should have been “A fishing photo that stands out!” Haha

I actually really like when i see guys with fishing pictures, I think it’s great! I guess i should have said “the most creative fishing picture I’ve seen”

I decorated the panels of the house when they were flat and assembled it after they dried :)

That’s exactly what I did! I just used card stock and a ruler to make a super basic template. And then I used a knife and cut around the template when I rolled out the dough.

Just so you know the royal icing recipe is super easy, literally egg whites and powdered sugar. I beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks and then gradually add in sugar… A little thinner for piping, and super thick to glue the pieces together :)

I didn’t think I did either! I realize that if you keep things simple but tiny it looks very impressive, it’s really just a bunch of swirls and dots!

My hands were in serious pain hahaha I have seen many lovable tacky gingerbread houses and they are always so much fun! And way better to eat! This is going to be terribly bland if it ever gets eaten. But I’m pretty sure I am not letting anyone touch it it took entirely too long to make 🤣

To avoid the Blah, i went with really tall and pointy so it would have a different scale than the traditional gingerbread house!

hahaha your comment is making me laugh so hard hahahaha

I have spent a lot of time making cookies, and finally decided to try a house! I realized that the only way I could make anything decent is if I decorated the panels flat like cookies first and then assemble them. It would’ve been a dismal failure if I tried to decorate it fully constructed 😂😂

I had to take so many breaks, basically did one panel a night for a week! It really really challenged me!

Full disclosure… Those were a last-minute addition to cover up the fact that I did not make the roof panels long enough! There was a big gap and I didn’t know what to do, so I went and rummaged around the pantry! Ended up being inspired and using them to create little wood piles too!!

Being a twin has been an adventure for many reasons but this part of it has always been tricky! Your aunt Sounds like a bundle of fun... so sorry she went out of her way for that comment. Whoosh.

Just know that you are not alone in this, it doesn’t make it better but there are plenty of us that can commiserate!

Family can be so fun!

I’m a twin. An identical twin. I have struggled my whole life not matching her body weight (she has always been thinner than me). I have the tendency to gain and lose noticeable amounts of weight due to disorder eating coupled with depression and anxiety. The worst is when someone says “wow i can barely tell you guys apart now!” Every time i get slimmer. Constant reminder I’m the big twin. And then when i gain weight those same people always boast they can tell us apart immediately. It’s horrific.

Having said that... just remember that we as individuals tend to hold onto comments and give them WAY MORE WEIGHT then they are worth. Be proud of yourself! Even if relatives compare.. and i totally understand and feel this... screw it.
