I took a picture of the baby robbins on my arbor. The mama got really mad at me when I took it but I couldn't resist! They are getting so big!! Hope it shows up....I tried to zoom in as well as I could.

Good Morning Cake Junkies, it is a beautiful morning here, we are expecting some storms, but nothing major. We are all praying for friend/families affected by the tornados in the past two day. I saw there are many ways to help thru valid donation sites. We need caution when wanting to help as there are many crewel people who will set up scams to steal from you as you are acting on emotion. If you decide to donate $ go to the American Red Cross and other sites set-up thru your local news stations as they wi
 
 
 
Sad but true. Have a great day Kath. I know you are smiling :0)

Such good advice Kath. Crooks love to take advantage of tender hearts.

Hi Katharine. I was watching the story of the tornado on the news this morning; it's just awful and saddening!

Hey girl...nice to see you back! Are you still working at the clothing store?
Monday @ 8:18 am by Sally Hackney
Hi Dianne, I had the same problem. Do not log off and you should be okay
Monday @ 8:39 am by kathredtiaraprincess
Hi Dianne - you know I had to switch computers and for some reason after I did that Fantourage doesn't keep me logged in anymore. It might be my browser - IDK! LOL! Hope you're doing well. Glad to see you're back to say hello!

One picture of the bathroom with new paint. The socket cover is being replaced to match the rest, we bought the wrong one.

Another pic of the bathroom. So glad to have some color in the house after 5 years (this September) of white walls. This color is a bit wild for me but it's color! Have a great day!
 
 
 
Cute monkeys!!
Monday @ 8:19 am by Sally Hackney
That is color all right, love the green but the monkeys are too cute.
Monday @ 8:38 am by kathredtiaraprincess
Thanks Katharine, I think the monkeys make it. Mark calls the boys "monkey bunch" so it fit in great!

Well, we got through another night and a couple more to come it appears. Was a pretty rock and rolly night last night!
 
 
 
I finally saw the news this morning. Horrible weather down your way, stay safe it looks like it is all coming thru again today.
Monday @ 8:37 am by kathredtiaraprincess
So glad to hear you and Mr. V are alright. How did your flowers hold up?
Monday @ 8:39 am by janell
And what about the little robbins in the nest???
Monday @ 9:18 am by Sally Hackney
Glad you made it through unscathed.

They are still OK as are we, but it doesn't look good for today.

Good Morning Cake Junkies, it is a new day and I have a bathroom wall with multiple colors (one is too pinkish, yellowish, orangish). I am so glad Behr has samples. I never thought I would ever go with blue in my bathroom, but I found this greyish blue that might work. I have been painting a piece of drywall in the garage also to see how the colors will look with the tiles. Somehow that blue screams pick me. Remember to smile it makes us happy.
 
 
 
Our powder room would be complete had I not wanted the door moved at the last minute. I spent the last two evenings spackling the door way (it is a good thing I am a cake lady as the spackle is pretty smooth so far). The walls I painted will need some touch up as will the little alcove we just closed in. That will happen after we have the closet door changed out today. The travertien (sp) sink will need to be treated as will the floor tiles when I finish but it is looking good for a small space.
Monday @ 8:55 am by kathredtiaraprincess
Oh Kath...I have to chuckle every time I read your post. If there were ever two peas in a pod it is you and I. You fret over decorating stuff just like I do...you love dogs ...you are a cake fanatic....the list just goes on and on. I'm so glad you're my friend!!
Monday @ 9:20 am by Sally Hackney
Samples are a huge help. Very often the paint card held up to your wall doesn't really give you a good idea of how the light will play on your paint in that particular room's environment. And painting on the scrap of drywall is good too - you can paint a swatch and hold it up in there and bring it around to other things to match - brilliant!
Monday @ 9:43 am by cakesbycarla
Please post a picture when you're done, I like the sound of that blue.
Monday @ 10:19 am by janell
I love blue, to my favourite colour! I'm simple like that! Lol. I'd have blue in every room if I could!

Morning all! Happy Monday and I pray all our friends out there are safe this morning after all the storms. Happy to report Sissy is getting better day by day. My vet called a specialist this morning as we were having some issues with the meds. He told us what to do so I am feeling much better about it all.
 
 
 
Oh and I got the stuff in for my OSSAS project. I just keep looking at it and saying..."Am I really capable of doing this?" I figure I need to let Sissy get back on level ground before I start as I will need to be really focused.
Monday @ 9:24 am by Sally Hackney
Glad to hear she's continuing to improve. Glad to hear your thinking of your OSSAS project. I know it'll be great!
Monday @ 9:40 am by cakesbycarla
Your project for OSSAS will be awesome Sally!!! Happy to hear Sissy is continuing to do better.
Monday @ 10:17 am by janell
Sally you are up for it, so go for it.

Sounds like a positive report for Sissy! Lose yourself in your OSSAS project Sally!

Trouble is with the weather hanging about they open and close pretty darned quick, I got away with it with last night's storm, tonight (?) not so sure.
Sunday @ 12:20 pm by kerry
Yes they are Carla, for such a brief moment.

Beautiful colour on them. It's a shame when it rains hard, or blows and then plants get damaged.

Evening all! This week has been like a whirlwind; London trip was a great success and the students had a blast! But, I was glad to get home and into my own bed last night. PoA for this weekend; proof read my previous assignment, start my next (boo hoo) and hopefully, start to decorate a cake lard with a sunset theme ready for an elephant's head cake I have coming up! Happy Friday!
 
 
 
Cake board even!
Friday @ 1:05 pm by Justin Lynch
Sounds like a wonderful trip Justy! The pics on FB are awesome. Have fun making the cakes!
Friday @ 4:08 pm by Sally Hackney
Loved all the pics Justin! this elephant cake sounds interesting.

Justin, I am glad to hear your trip was successful.
Friday @ 11:13 pm by kathredtiaraprincess
Glad you had a good time!
Saturday @ 9:32 am by cakeswithcharacter
Sounds fun. What's an elephant had cake? An actual elephant head or is that a euphemism for something like a hen party or something?
Saturday @ 11:03 am by cakesbycarla
Justin your pics were lovely, I would love you send me the ones you posted on FB via e-mail.

Carla we made it!!! Today was the last day of TX boot camp. I'm not overly keen on this picture (I don't like my pic taken), it was taken after this mornings class. We ran "trains" with the medicine ball, TWICE! Needless to say I could hardly stand up for this picture. Great 4 weeks though! Heading to the dr's to have my foot seen to shortly. Have a great day all!
 
 
 
What's your next fitness regime Janell?
Friday @ 12:58 pm by Justin Lynch
Sadly Justin I just got the xray results and it looks like I will be taking it easy. I fractured my foot. Now have to go buy a pair of crutches until I can be seen by the foot dr next week. I'm so NOT happy right now. I just want to cry and not from the pain. It's my right foot as well so I don't know how I will be able to drive either.
Friday @ 2:57 pm by janell
Oh no! Hope you can figure something out to drive! Is it a stress fracture or did you do something recently to injure it?
Friday @ 3:10 pm by cakesbycarla
She called it a small fracture of the 4th tarsal. When I looked it up on line it fits with a stress fracture. I'll know more once I get in to see the foot dr. Had to have done in during bootcamp (high impact). I should have listened to the pain but I'm stubborn and kept pushing on and so I'm paying for it now. I had a great time in class so I can't really complain.
Friday @ 3:56 pm by janell
Congrats on finishing the boot camp but big bummer on the fracture. Take care.
Friday @ 4:10 pm by Sally Hackney
Wow that 4 weeks went by fast, congrats Janell!
Friday @ 9:11 pm by Sandys Sweets
Looks like fun, but take it easy and feel better!
Saturday @ 9:32 am by cakeswithcharacter
So sorry it spoiled your hard work, so annoying isn't it?
Saturday @ 9:10 pm by kerry
Yes, Ms. V, very annoying, but I'm refusing to let it get the best of me! I'm working on putting together alternate workouts so that I don't lose all that I've done. Need to meet with the foot Dr. before I can do any cardio though. I'm stubborn. lol

Keep doing upper body stuff will keep your metabolism rolling.

Morning all. Got some sleep last night. Sissy had three seizures but they are getting milder each time. I'm hoping the increased meds are starting to kick in. Maybe I can breathe a sigh of relief. I fret over my babies as you all can tell. Anyway...hope you have a great weekend. Spread some love!!
 
 
 
Glad to hear she's doing better Sally!

So healing well here I think. I DON'T LIKE narcotics at all. They are taking forever to leave my system! I feel like I have this little motor running inside me, I'm dizzy & a little nauseous. I'm hopping around with the crutches quite well (with all last years practice!) We go camping this weekend ...that should be hilarious!Badages do not come off till next Wednesday. So as the foot heals I'll have to start thinking about the carpal tunnel surgery DOH! Does it ever end! All the while trying to make a living L
 
 
 
Oh do take care of yourself - be careful camping - hate to see you trip and hurt your foot or something else catching yourself! Get well soon!
Thursday @ 5:28 pm by cakesbycarla
Hope it heals quickly. Careful on that camping trip, take care.
Thursday @ 8:40 pm by janell
try and take and easy. You WILL get better!
Friday @ 6:16 am by cakeswithcharacter
Hi Tracii! Sounds like you're going through the mill. Have fun camping and be sure to take it easy, but have fun!
Friday @ 1:00 pm by Justin Lynch
Hi Tracii, I think the camping trip will be what you need. You and relax and let everyone take care of you.
Friday @ 1:00 pm by kathredtiaraprincess
Not sure how you managed that long on crutches! I've only had mine for a day and they are driving me mad! Any tricks for getting around on these, please let me know. Been over 20 years since I had to use a pair. Looking forward to hearing how the camping trip went.
Saturday @ 6:15 pm by janell
As soon as you can get onto something else the better it is easy to get hooked on tht stuff I am told. I hope your recovery is fast!

LOL! Sally - I did do a lot of packing when we staged the house. I have a small shed full of boxes. There is still a decent amount but it's not terrible. I really need to find boxes. I've been doing all the apartment hunting/annoying detail stuff right now. Rest assure packing will commence soon!
05/15/13 @ 5:31 pm by cakesbycarla
Carla the cake really cute. Here is a song to sing while you pack. Think Snow White, whistle while you work .....

Good Morning Everyone, it is a beautiful sunny morning, just wants to make me smile. Today I have a few cakes to bake and one to decorate for a 16th birthday. Mom wanted all these things on the cake, when I gave her the quote she just looked at me. I explained we all know a can of oil costs $$ but an oil change costs $$, it is all about the labor that goes into the design. She still wants the cake, just much more toned down. Have a great day and remember to smile.
 
 
 
Yes - people are always surprised by the price. There's a reason Walmart cakes are cheap - there's no skilled labor going into it! If you want fancy cakes you pay fancy prices... Have a great day Kath!

Boy today my friends I need your prayers. I have been up all night trying to tend to my precious little Brussels Griffon. She is very tiny (8lbs) and has epilepsy. It is normally controlled with phenobarbytal. Last evening about 5:00 she started having seizures and they wouldn't stop. The nearest emergency clinic is nearly two hours away. My vet had me giving her vallium to sedate her. She had ten or eleven seizures before morning.
 
 
 
She is at the vets now under heavy sedation. He says if they can't stop the seizures I will have to put her down. I think if that happens they will just have to put me down too. She has the soul of a little angel and never even growls....she just loves everyone. Her name is Sissy...please keep her in your prayers today.
Thursday @ 9:21 am by Sally Hackney
Oh Sally! So sorry to hear this - I know your tender heart is breaking at the thought. Hope she pulls out of it. Big hugs to you!
Thursday @ 9:55 am by cakesbycarla
Sally sending prayers and hugs.
