Can We Show Off Our Crafts?

[Dana Jean]

That would definitely guarantee no one EVER asking me to make a cake again!

I only ever started doing them for my kids, because my mom always made us special cakes for our birthdays. But then it was cakes for nephews and nieces and baby showers and and and...which I still didn't mind because it was for family. But, while I truly appreciate family members suggesting me to other people for events, I just don't want to be making and decorating cakes all the time. I even turned down a local party supply store, they wanted my name and number to pass out to customers after they saw one of my cakes in a picture. I said thank you but no thanks. I do appreciate the thought and probably could make a little $$$, I just don't want to.

I understand that. When we do something for fun and the love and it turns into a job--it takes all that good energy away.

If it becomes a chore, don't do it.

See CAT? Just one laxative cake and all the pressure's off...........

Dangit... Link wouldn't work right... That was supposed to be an animation of the Queen of Hearts screaming at the bride, OFF WITH HER HEAD!

I tell you what though, I do think I will try one of those topsy-turvy cakes for Ali's next birthday. She would LOVE it. Not til December though so have lots of time. And I am very much looking forward to making Riddik's 1st birthday cake! (Not to rush it though, I am enjoying his babyhood! )

That would make for a crappy wedding cake.

I never knew that this craft thread could be so much fun.......

You need to stop by more often. We aren't afraid to hand out a good vag**a kicking when it's called for--especially in the name of love for good crafts.

*waits for Cat to post what MIL said about why she isn't making the cake* Cat's adventures are much more interesting than the Kardashians lol

I was looking at images for Alice in Wonderland. Do any of y'all remember paper dolls/cut-out dolls? They were popular BB (before Barbie). Alice in Wonderland has gone steampunk!

I had a brief moment in time where I liked paper dolls.

Sorry, I haven't talked to her!! Been a crazy few days around here. I'll try to catch her this weekend sometime! They may even be over at some point, they were just waiting on hubby's night shifts to be done. But then again, we have snow in the forecast so they probably won't drive up.

I hope you talk to her soon... This is like waiting for the next Walking Dead episode, except your story is more suspenseful lol. What's the date of the wedding? If the bride changes her mind and begs you to make the cake, will you?

I liked paperdolls - I liked the cutting out or punching out and picking outfits, but after I got that done, I lost interest. I keep meaning to post an interesting craft I did recently. Maybe I'll take a photo and upload it later this morning - it's actually at work.

It is the 1st, so coming up pretty quick. I would need a few days warning but I'm not holding my breath. I don't think it's going to be a big fancy to-do, but a pretty informal type wedding. Maybe I should feel guilty? But, I really don't.

Yes! Take a photo When I was a kid, I wanted to be a dress designer so I used to make clothes for my paper dolls.

Paper dolls. Takes me back. But I had lots of Barbies too. At least paper dolls were easy to take where ever you were going.

I just checked the Scary Eye thread to see if your eye healed completely but I didn't bump the board cause I didn't know if you'd want it bumped.
