Yes a store bought cake- but man was it good. After a corn casserole blowing up in my oven and fighting off this blasted sinus infection (still having chilled sweats) we pulled off the party with special guests - Steve and Rosemary. I wasn't about to push it trying to bake my own cake. She loved it.
She could not get the cards opened fast enough and I love this picture. She got a gift card to Petsmart to buy her and her sister guinea pigs. Yes we are about to have rodents in teh home. Not thrilled but when the kid has studied for 6 months and can tell you anything you ever wanted to know about guinea pigs we bit the bullet. They will come after we get back from CA. We leave this Sunday so when you don't see a post for a while that is why.
Couldn't wait to take it out of the box and try to loose the parts. They were impressed that it came from Italy. Who knew Italy makes the best guinea pig cages.
I received both of my swaps today. The top picture is of my mini quilt swap from Salt Marsh Designs aka Aimee. I love the colors and of course the fact that it is a owl. It is going in the livingroom.
I met with my ceramic lady and we talked for great length over the cost of having your own kiln and possibly selling my stuff. She even went as far as to offer to train me and then have me buy her out of her business, but I don't know if I'm ready for that one. So after much talk I have things to chew around in my brain. I'd love to hear what you all out there think. What would you pay for a mug like these above? Feedback PLEASE!!!!!!
