Fairy Christmas Castle.

A wonderful Fairy Christmas Castle, seen at the gingerbread town exhibition in town. Made by Kine and Karina.

Cosy house made of gingerbread.

Looks cosy, and a well known place at Fargegaten.

Gingerbread buildings.

Just like yesterdays posting, our biggest newspaper also have an annual exhibition with gingerbread houses. This year it is at the Culture House.

So much creative work have been put in to it. As you see,
some international landmarks have also been included.

It is well worth visiting!

The annual exhibition.

The annual exhibition of Children´s Christmas drawings / paintings, can be seen at Stavanger Aftenblad. ( Our biggest newspaper.)

It is so colourful and nice. This is just one out of many, and one I really liked.

The artist is Emilie Marie Trædal, who must be 9 or 10 years old, according to the info. that was written next to the artistic work.

Look at all the details.

The Gingerbread Houses.

It is over now, - the city full of Gingerbread Houses.
Lots of work had been put in to the display in the big hallway at Stavanger Aftenblad.
On the blog, you can see more images from previous years, by clicking on the labels under the text.

It is cold and slippery outside. I prefer a quiet afternoon inside with my tea and books...
Lazy Sunday is good:)

Well done!

Well done, Benjamin Pollen, from Haga skole.

My blog is in the newspaper today.

Well done to class 2A at Buøy school, who won this years prize at Stavanger Aftenblad!
(Our main newspaper.)
Look at all the artistic work that has been put in to this.

I hope you have a great Christmas day (or are having a great Christmas day, depending on where you are living).
I hope you are able to spend your Christmas with those you love around you.

Christmas greetings from Stavanger.

The artist is Emil Bårdsen Singtun.

One more of the artistic drawings made by school kids, that are now on display at Stavanger Aftenblad, our biggest local newspaper.
Ingeborg Ulsnes made this:)

Even Father Christmas needs a break!:) A Norwegian spa, made by Mia, Emilie and Ida Mauland from Stavanger.

Our biggest local newspaper, Stavanger Aftenblad, are holding the annual big exhibition with gingerbread houses and drawings.
So much to see and so many pupils put effort in to their work.
I don't know the name of this artist, but this is one of the drawings that I liked.

I hope all of you have a nice Christmas Holiday!

GOD JUL / MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Arne, aged 6, has been making this drawing, that has such happy faces that I just had to stop and take a closer look.

He was one of many children who sent in fantastic drawings, that are now part of an exhibition inside the main office building of our newspaper, "Stavanger Aftenblad".

Well done, Arne!!

This is one of many, very nice gingerbread buildings that have arrived at the annual exhibition at our biggest newspaper here in Stavanger.

(Take a look at last years creative houses in my archive, from December 2010.)

I had a trip in to the city centre this afternoon.

Still very windy and lots of rain.

Yesterday the people and the helicopter trying to put up the Christmas tree on top of the city bridge, had to give up the work because of the strong wind.

Windows at the newspaper building / Stavanger Aftenblad.

A well known Christmas motiv represented in gingerbread :)

Another yummy gingerbread house...

Our big local newspaper, Stavanger Aftenblad, has continued their big collection/exhibition of gingerbread houses made this year by children & adults, both privately and through schools.
Unfortately, a few of the photos that I took with the small camera did not turn out quite as I wanted, so I have to say sorry to the Syrian family and the lady from Ormøy who I had wanted to show photos of.

I have found out that the newspaper/media house, (where the gingerbread houses are on display), will give 200 Norwegian kroner for each house they have received for the exhibition, to the Salvation Army. That will be 34.200 Norwegian kroner

The first prize winner will receive a voucher for 2000 kroner, 2. prize is a voucher for 1000 kroner and 3. prize is a voucher for 500 kroner. (To Vogon; I have sent an e-mail to the newspaper asking your previous question, so I will let you know, hopefully after the weekend.)

Todays house I thought was quite sweet and cute....

I know a little "princess" that probably would have loved to have this in her house...
