Update

Hi Everyone!!!
I have missed you all so much!! I have been sick, and really crafting is the last thing that I have wanted to do.  I never thought that those words would ever come out of my mouth.  I have been struggling with a lot of pain in my back, it is so bad sometimes that I can't stand for more than 5 minutes.  I recently had x-rays, and this is going to sound crazy but I was so hoping that it would show that there was something, and they could take it out, and everything would be great, but they just got the results, and they found that I have arthritis in my back.  So I feel defeated.  There is nothing that they can do, I am going to try physical therapy, and if that doesn't help, my Doctor will be doing more tests.  The thought of not being able to even stand at my kitchen sink to peel potatoes, is so depressing to me.  I am trying to keep my hopes up, and trying not to get depressed, and have a positive attitude, but I gotta say, it is not working out to well.  So I had committed to make a cake for my niece's 6th Birthday cake, and I thought that would take my mind off waiting for the test results, so I am able to work on the cake while sitting down, so I did get that done, but I just can;t seem to get into doing anything, so after never even getting started selling Stampin Up stamps, I am going to have to see if I can put that on hold, and just concentrate on feeling better.  I will be checking in with you all to see what AMAZING things that you have all been doing, and here is a picture of the Little Mermaid cake that I made.  I hope to get back chatting, and scrapping with you all!!  Karen♥

Update, and a New Cake!

Hey all, I have missed chatting with you guys so much!!  So much has been going on, we have all been so busy around here,  My son is getting ready to graduate from High school, my daughter is getting ready to move with a friend of hers to South Carolina, and we have all been sick, dogs included!!! I am also cleaning out my my craft room, there is so much stuff, that if I crafted everyday, 24hrs a day, 365 days a year, I wouldn't even get through a tenth of stuff that I have, and I have not even touched the stuff in the basement!! LOL  So if there is something that you have been looking for, please email me at kadris@aol.com and make me an offer, and if I have it, it is yours!!!  I also wanted to post a picture of the cake that I made for my daughters birthday,  I hope everyone is healthy and happy, and I hope to be back soon!! Karen♥

50th Birthday Cake Take 2 !!!

Hey all,
After a sleepless night worrying over the 50th Birthday cake that I made for my Hubby, because it came out awful, (see last post)  I decided to make a new one.  It still is not my beat work, but I do like it better!! Let me know what you think!     Karen♥

Hubby's 50th Birthday cake!!

Hey all,
I have been dying to make my husbands birthday cake, for so long.  Of course that meant that something would go wrong, and it did!! We have all been sick around here, but I thought that I would do it Friday.  I still didn't feel well, but I really wanted to make it anyway.  So you can see for yourself, that it is so sloppy, messy, and the worst cake I have ever made.  I wanted to share it with you, so you could see what I was attempting anyway!  Anyway, Happy Birthday to my Amazing, Wonderful, and after seeing this cake, my Very Understanding Hubby!! I Love You, Karen♥

Merry Christmas

Hi All, Merry Christmas!
I had a great Christmas, and one of the things that I got, was a new camera.  I didn't think to practice with  before Christmas, so as you will soon see.  I decided to make these cake pops to bring to my sisters for Christmas Eve, and what a project it was.  When you look at videos of people making Cake Pops, you think, I can make those, but I feel like I ran into one problem after another.  first I ran out of white chocolate, then the stores were out of red frosting, and normally I make my own frosting, but I was so busy, that I wanted to buy it, and then the little bit of chocolate that I did have just wouldn't melt, no matter what I did, it was just was gloppy, that is the word that comes to mind, gloppy. So here they are, I think under normal circumstances they would be a lot better, so I hope you like!  Karen♥

Hey Guys, I have had some of you email me, and comment that you would like to see some of my newer cakes, I think that I have posted some before, but I thought that I would post them again all together, so thanks for the comments, and here are the new ones!!!

So these are some of my updated cakes, I have a few more, but I hate the way the way that they came out, so you don't get to see them!!  The first cake is one that I did for my niece's baptism, the next is a Yo,Gabba, Gabba cake, for my niece, I have no idea who these are, but that is what she wanted, the next was for my son's baseball team, then my snowman cake, he ended up a little tilted from the car ride, the next was for my daughter, the next is a purse for my great Aunt's 90th birthday, then the Ipod  and dummy book for my dad who actually read manual!! Then we have the Circus cake for someone that I became blog buddies with, the next is a 50th birthday, and I don't have a finished picture, but the rug had fringe on it, then my niece's graduation, the next 2 are Easter cakes, and then a Play Station cake for my son's birthday, the next are just pictures of all the guys that went on some of the cakes, and then there is a white chocolate coffee cup filled with milk chocolate and a milk chocolate spoon, that I made for my daughter and her friends in College for finals week!! I hope you all like them, and thatnks for asking to see them!! karen♥

My very first cakes!!

Hey guys, Just as promised, here are the cakes from my past. (that sounds so mysterious, doesn't it?  Anyway, I found these pictures, while looking for pictures of my hubby and me, (For all of you younger scrappers, make sure that you, and your hubby, significant other, or partner get in some pictures of just the 2 of you here and there, or when you want one, there is always kids, and dogs in there too!) for the 25th anniversary little album that I am making, and I came across these pictures of some cakes that I did in the late 80's, and early 90's. The first one is for my brother-in-law, for his graduation from college, the second one was for my niece for her 2nd birthday in 1989, and the last one was for my nephew, for his 4th birthday, in 1994. They are not my best work, but I look at it the same way I look at old scrap layouts, with all of the pictures cut into shapes, with all the stickers, ect. We all had to start somewhere!! I hope you like, or that they at least make you chuckle!! karen♥
