Well, things have been quite busy at Robin's Nest this week. First, I posted my very first item on Craigslist on sunday and sold it for full price on Tuesday! HOORAY. Now i have money for Vegas, and am going through my stuff seeing what else I can sell. LOL |

Rude cakes are the best, but what will the neighbors say when you invite them in for coffee? |

Well, now, this video made me think of ThinkDraw. Very similar technique to his art. |

Arw65, I am taking the class through JoAnn Fabric and Craft store. They also offer them at Michaels. The class itself was only like $20 for four sessions, each 2 hours long. But the supply list they gave me was about $60 worth of stuff. I used 40 and 50% off coupons for all of it, so it was probably closer to $35 for me. But then, at the first class, they tell you all these other things that you don't HAVE to have, but would make the job so much easier. Feels like it keeps adding up to me. I'm kind of sticking with the bare minimum til I decided whether I'll be making enough cakes to justify any more expense. But money aside, the class is very fun. I am making a practice cake today, so that when I bring one to class on Tues. I already have a little experience. Plus, my son really enjoys the practice! |

Here's a little tip from when I took cake decorating classes....You can use cheese whiz for practice instead of icing. Pipe it onto the bottom of your overturned cake pan, scrape it off and reuse as often as you wish. |

P.S. Hope you are able to take me seriously with Chester staring at you in his party garb! |

Who better to give advice than a bulldog in a party hat?!! I have to report I am trying right now to practice decorating a cake I baked last night. LOL! It is REALLY ugly! I am serving it for dessert to my friends who are coming for dinner. Hopefully they'll look past the aesthetics and admire the yummy taste! HEHEHEHE |

No doubt we will return home in the 3rd quarter of the game and I will be so PISSED (excuse the language please) that I won't even bother watching the end of the game. |

Perhaps Robert can wrap it up quickly also by saying he really must get back to nurse you through your unfortunate illness as you're so sick you can't even conceivably be expected to eat all the super bowl appies by yourself! |

Baldur, fluu-feigning sounds like an AuntieB prescription! However, marius will add her two cents: in my experience flu-feigning is a requirement for certain "ailments" of life. ; ) |

Altho - I like Dragon's idea that you invite all to your home and accidentally have the game on. |

Btw, Robin, your class sounds like lots of fun, hope your cake turned out well. And, that was something to see Conan in cheese decor! |

Baldur, I don't blame you a bit for being upset. Have never figured out why people do things like schedule something opposite a big event. It makes no sense ... but then, a lot of life doesn't! |
