I guess I'll keep my funky and wonky blocks for my own UFO.
I'm feeling the same as you because my houses are very simple. But I know all these ladies are so warm and caring that they won't mind if I'm not quite as creative as they are. And...I hope it will inspire me to get better for the next one.

Well as you can see by all my comments it has been a few days since I checked in the group. I still haven't taken pictures yet but I'm about ready to mail them in. I'm heading down to my SIL's house for a sewing get-together. She has dial up though so I might not be able to get in as much for a couple of weeks but I'll do my best.

I do agree, these houses are looking so wonderful. Now really, are there any "simple" houses? I have enjoyed watching the creativity here and it inspires me to do better. I, for one, do not mind the "simple" because it allows me to do as I want when putting the blocks together. I live in a simple neighborhood, but each neighbor adds their own flair to their yard which gives it a little pop. So keep them coming. And by the way, I really do think the castle is neat, it is intuitive.
