Looks like it will be a Christmas without snow for me this year too! Its been so warm. This house still looks very cozy and nicely decorated. Its a great option for anyone who lives in a warmer climate but likes the Christmas decor. The inside is lovely also, looks realistic. Nice work

Hi Cath! Your two new homes are wonderful! I love the big mansion, all the details are perfect. And the Christmas home is just so cute and I really love all the red, wonderful job! I hope you had a blessed Christmas and wish you a happy new year!
I loved the inspiration picture of this home when I saw it. It looked like one of those old rambling homes that had been added onto many times over the years. I started to build it back in the fall with hopes of having it done by Thanksgiving but didn't get a chance to finish it till after the Christmas holidays.
I have a lot more interior pictures in the slideshow but I am STILL not able to put them into custom order and that is driving me CRAZY! I have contacted photobucket and they admit that some customers are having trouble with this. They say they have their team working on it but I'm not so sure. It's been at least a month.... If it doesn't get resolved soon, I will be Forced to find another image host site but I hope it doesn't come to that...
EDIT: Big Thanks to @LionessInMN and @RyeCris16 (from an earlier date for trying to give me this same advise) for their advice on how to "fix" my problem with photobucket. My pics are now in order, if anyone would like to have a peek at the SLIDESHOW
I love that house! So charming and I also love how you add shelves with items on them. I just noticed your comment about photobucket and wanted to let you know I have that problem too. How I got around it was with file names. I name my pictures 1. Street view, 2. Side view, 3. Kitchen, etc. Then, I found after you upload them, there is an option to sort them by file name. Not as easy as custom sort should be, but I at least can get them in the order I want them.

It looks absolutely amazing! I love the architecture! The garden is so pretty! Love the kitchen/diner inside. Very cosy and inviting house! Will be adding to my favourites if I haven't already.
@LionessInMN, thank you for both your lovely comment and for the advice for photobucket! I am not the most savvy person when it comes to anything to do with computers and I didn't even know we could rename our pictures while they were still in the screen shot folder. I just tried it with my next build and it worked Beautifully. Thank you so much!
@follyfoot, thank you Folly! That's exactly how I felt about Family Heritage. It looks like it's been around forever and had lots of additions over the years. The real life photos were so inspiring, I had lots of fun building it.
@yanti68, thank you Yanti! I've been kind of hiding in my shell lately... Winter doldrums... This is truly the worst time of year, as far as I'm concerned. Too cold, dark, snowy and boring. Thankfully we have our sims to entertain us, lol
