I had the most fun this past Wednesday night. My friend Kat and I competed in Southern Weddings' Gingerbread Barn Building Competition.
How precious were our name tags? Precious!!
Kat and I picked out our station complete with lots of sweet supplies.
We had hot chocolate and cookies to snack on - Santa would be proud.
After working away messily for an hour or so, our barn was almost complete.
I loved the Christmas sparkle of our red barn walls most.
Then we of course had to add a touch of Southern flair - hi, y'all!
Once complete, we put our Gingerbread Barn on display for the judges. We loved how our metallic wreath (with bow) and barn animals looked very merry & bright.
After deliberations, the judges announced three category winners and then the grand prize winner... We were the grand prize winners!! We each won $75 to use towards Minted.
We were so excited, we treated ourselves to a glass of champagne & sweet potato fries in true Southern fashion. Our red gingerbread barn came along with us of course!
This was a fabulous way to celebrate the holiday season ahead. Great teamwork, Kat!
