Little Houses and KNK FILE FOR SALE

This is me in 1960 by my Christmas Tree. I was 7 years old. I loved Christmas. I still do, but I have been a little sad every Christmas for the last 32 years. The good news is that it is not a long lasting sadness. But it does visit me every year as I get out my Christmas decorations. My daddy built this awesome little village for under our Christmas tree when I was little. Oh how I loved that little village with the houses and little church with stained glass windows. They lit up at night and there were little cars on the snow covered roads. I was convinced that little people lived in those houses and came out while I was asleep to build snowmen and ice skate on the little mirror pond..

When I had a child, I got that Christmas Village. We enjoyed it for several years, but then one year, I stored it at my ex in laws (they weren't ex at the time) because I didn't have room in my apartment to store it and they did. But when I went back to get the box the next year, I discovered they had gotten rid of it. Hence my sadness. My beautiful little village is gone.

The sadness was especially present this year because I realized how much Drake and Adler would have enjoyed the little houses and church and cars under my Christmas tree.

This year I knew I couldn't build houses out of wood and glass, like my daddy did, but I could build some little houses out of paper and scrapbook supplies. So I created a file for my Klick N Kut Element.

These houses are too delicate to let the boys play with. In fact Adler would probably try to eat them, but I now have some houses. I will not put them under the Christmas Tree. They will sit on the cabinet in the Billard Room. And I will smile everytime I see them and think of my lost little village and how much I loved my daddy for building it for me.

I am offering the KNK files for sale for the cost of $5.99. You can pay by clicking the BuyNow button on the sidebar of this blog, which will take you to Paypal.com. I will email a zipped file which will include KNK and EPS formats. If you cannot receive larger files in your email I can provide a download link for you through yousendit.com. Add a note, when you make payment.

I have put quite a bit of time into designing and perfecting the files for these houses. The finished house is 5 inches wide x 4 inches deep x 7 inches tall. There are 3 separate files for this house that include :

• the house itself (front and back)
• windows to cut out plus separate window frames
• door and door frame
• window boxes in 2 sizes
• awning for over door or window
• gingerbread trim for roof
• chimney and chimney topper
• picket fence

Also included is a word document file with placement of lines for scoring and folding and pictures for ideas.
