My family always does a Dickens christmas village at our house, but this year my mom and I decided to make mountains for it and put it on a platform....so we did!
This is my mom cutting out the "rolling hills" part of the mountains
We put it in the front room, so we have to take out all of the furniture that was in that room and then build this platform to put the houses on! It kind of looks like a giant stocking.
Here is where I become the assistant and let my mom take over! She is so good at placing things where they need to go, so I just hand her the pieces....but look at our fun mountains in the back
This isn't the best shot of it, but it gives you an idea of what it looks like......Oh, and the random little tree on a stand will be replaced by the real christmas tree once we go and cut it down :)
Just picture this with all of the lights off and there is a revolving santa in the back that you can't see.....it is amazing!

Awww....the Gunnell village. The stories I have heard. I'm so glad you took pictures of it so we could see. It looks amazing! I LOVE the mountains. It's a fantastic touch!
Mountains are a good idea!
