THE GINGERBREAD. Here's what I said to Milly below on the topic: lol gingerbread tray. I discovered in doing that item that the gingerbread people generally use for gingerbread houses is entirely different from that used for eating, because, ya know, it has to be LOAD-BEARING. So it wasn't exactly something that could be eaten, but you hate to throw away that much of something that's technically food ... but that's what eventually happened, alas. But I kinda had to let it get a little stale and try to nibble a bit first. ;->

I'm glad you think I'm growing as a 15-second-filmmaker. ;-D The first year I was just so anxious about actually completing an item, any item (and learning how to use the freakin' software) that I didn't pay much attention to artfulness in filming apparently. ;-P But now as a seasoned veteran of gishing, I have an idea how long each thing will take (and I know I'm not gonna win or get in the coffee-table book or anything), so I really plan it out and do everything I want with it. Thanks for your sweet words, bb. <3

gishwhes really exercises long-dormant muscles! Giving one a chance to do stuff one hasn't thought about in a long time, but deep down has missed. :-*
