CedarRidge, A Snow Village

CedarRidge is a Department 56 Original Snow Village located in my living room and I love to share it with everyone. This video was made possible by my creative sister. Thanks Bec!
Merry Christmas to all from Bev in Colorado.

That piece came with "A Home in the Making" (Snow Village #54979). It has retired, but there are many listings on ebay.

I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Happy Holidays!

Your village is amazing!! What's your method for hiding all the wires?

[beayuman]

I use two inch styrofoam for the bases and I block them up two inches from the table foundations. I cut holes through the styrofoam under or behind each building and feed the cords through the holes. The two inch void between the styrofoam and tables has cords going everywhere! Thanks for posting.

I love your village! Beautiful job!!

This is a wonderful village - one of the most complete I've seen. You have a lot of items that I've not ever seen before (like the house on fire and the construction site). Great job! We have a large display using a lot of Lemax items and Lionel trains at "Livingston Christmas Train Village" that i hope you'll like.

Wonderful! You have a talent for setting up vignettes and your sister did the village justice with photos and video.

You created my favorite town center. The buildings are close together and none of the streets are straight. Makes the village look a bit more organic in the hills. Street lighting is warm and adorable. Great job on the backdrop!

Time to write up your TIp Sheet and sell it for a few bucks. What wonderful memories you must be making at holiday time. Thanks for posting!

What do you use for your roads and ground covering on the styrofoam, or is it just styrofoam

[beayuman]

I mix patching plaster with water and dip handiwipes (the thin disposable dish clothes) into the plaster. I drape the coated handiwipes over the basic foundation that I made out of two inch styrofoam to give the effect of drifts.
