We needed something to make us smile!Since red icing is really hard to make, I decided pink would be the perfect color to use for the castle.The first cake was hard. I made a template by looking at the castle logo on my computer and figuring out the spacing and all that... The castle was pretty

Reminders of Friends
Remember the Sister Party that Amber, from The Run A Muck, encouraged and challenged all of us to have?There was also a giveaway for those who linked up their stories and I won an amazing piece of art by Jennifer Ueckert from Studio JRU.When I opened the package, I nearly cried. It's beautiful. On one side, it says friends. On the other, it says sisters. It sits on the table that holds our phone and computer mod
