18
Instead of doing the regular stars, it's a pullout star.

 

[bengalbelle]

Very cute. Did you use a pastry bag and tip or a squirt can of icing to make it look like grass?

I did use canned icing. I tinted it with Wilton's leaf green and put into the pastry bag with tip 18 and pulled out instead of making stars.

Okay 10 pages in 6 hours is not bad.

DGS was so cute. The trains go by the house a lot and Nick loves to go to the door and watch. I got him to say Train. DD said that is one thing they have tried from day one to get him to say and Omi does it in fifteen minutes.
I can't wait till tomorrow.

WTG, Julia!

I'm really boring aren't I, no wonderful designs or siggies, between work and keeping up and all the other stuff I cannot get time to learn all this stuff!!!

Does that mean your trip out west would be off?

You can tell how far back by which post I answer!!


Every time I think I have July figured out another something comes up.
Jim's Grandma passed away on Thursday. She was his spiritual compass growing up. That leaves him one Grandma living...this one is amazing!! I always tell people when I got married I found my soul mate and it wasn't Jim!! It's Grandma Hoo Hoo. We talked to Grandma on Friday and she told us that she will be going in for exploratory cancer surgery...which at her age(81) and condition could prove life threatening. She had called to say that she wanted us to know that she loved us if she didn't make it through the surgery. If she makes it through the surgery we will be heading toward Montana in July to spend time with her.

I have had enough of the awful cancer word this year I don't want anymore!!!

Sending lots of that Grandma Hoo Hoo surgery goes well. Sorry to hear about DH's other grandma's passing.

SNL just did a cartoon skit called Journey Into the Disney Vault. It was hilarious!

You guys are too funny, I have been here hours catching up and now that I finally did and ready for bed (I'm old and tired) you all start posting so I will have a repeat tomorrow!!!

Can I get the recipe for the Daquiri Cupcakes too?

Here it is, Glynis posted it the other day:

Strawberry Daiquiri Cake

Cake:
1 package of Supermoist White Cake Mix
3/4 cup water
1 package (0.14 oz) of strawberry Kool-aid mix (powder)
1 tablespoon grated lime peel
3/4 teaspoon rum extract
1 10 oz carton of frozen sliced strawberries, thawed and undrained.
3 eggs

Lime Frosting:
1 tub vanilla frosting (I like the pourable kind best)
2 teaspoons grated lime peel

1. Heat oven to 350. Grease bottom of 13x9 inch pan or line cupcake pan with liners. (will make 24 cupcakes)
2. In large bowl beat all cake ingredients with electic mixer on low for 30 seconds, then beat on medium speed for an additional 2 minutes scraping the bowl occasionally.
3. For cake cook 30-35 minutes. For cupcakes cook 18-25 minutes. Both are done when toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before icing
4. Mix remaining 2 tablespoons of lime peel into icing and stir. It helps to heat the icing for about 20 seconds in the microwave first, and makes it easier to poor or spoon onto the cake.
5. Top with fresh, sliced strawberries.

Note: I put strawberries on the pieces I serve so the left over ones don't go bad. I also keep leftovers of this cake in the fridge, it keeps a lot better.

Theresa,

What town does your mom live in? I am about 15-20 minutes from BWI.

Glen Burnie...she told me it's only 5 minutes away from BWI....who am I to argue?

Well, you know what they say about great minds thinking alike!!!!! If I had any energy left I'd make some tonight, but I'm pooped! And I still have to do Easter Bunny duty. Alan will stay up with me, but refuses to help load baskets. He will hide them though. Lucky me, huh?

Personally, I think the reason he agreed to stay up with me is that he wants some turtle time. He'd be more likely to get it if he helped me out, but I don't think that will happen. We'll see what he gets!

Not sure if this was ever discussed...but has anyone read the book The Kingdom Keepers?? I bought it for my daughter...I have been reading it, and it really enjoyable. It's about these kids that have to solve a mystery at WDW...it has so many specific details to the parks that I feel like I am standing in the Magic Kingdom.
