Santa Claus Family Secret

We had our other homeschool group play Thurs. night. This time the dinner was grilled chicken, broccoli, salad, etc. Dinner was sooo good. The kids pulled a fast one on me. I thought this was going to be the worst show ever but they were fantastic! I was just amazed at the wonderful job they did. Unfortunately, I have no pictures. Hopefully someone will share theirs.

Christmas Belles

The community theater play was excellent. I had a blast playing a Southern Belle. This is me as Rhonda Lynn Lampley.

Every Vote Counts

I wrote a melodrama about a small town sheriff race. One of our hjomeschool groups performed it as a dinner theater. The dinner was baked ziti, salad, etc. The play was about an hour & a half long. It went well & everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Wedding Cakes

Today on Cake Wrecks, they have a wedding cake disaster photo. Supposedly it was made by a professional. I have serious doubts about that & I think the Cake Wreck site owner does too. LOL
I thought I'd post the ugly cake here along with all the wedding cakes my kids did in class last year. Next time that bride should hire a 10 year old.

We lost a friend today............

Al Padgett was a wonderful friend & a godly example for us all. He will be greatly missed.

The Eagle has Landed

safely in Johannesburg & that's about the extent of my info. Keep praying please.

Halfway there

They are in the air headed to Johannesburg. I think that leg is supposed to be 16 hours. I can't even imagine being on a plane for 16 hours. I think I'd shoot myself. Poor Daniel is probably having banjo withdrawal. He never goes longer than 8 hours without playing.

Well, they're off

Dh & ds left this afternoon. They will be in Atlanta till Monday & then on to Zimbabwe. This is something dh has wanted to do for years. If you think of them, please pray that God will use them & that he will bring them home safely.

Africa or Bust Cake

Last night at church they had a commissioning service for my hubby & 16yo son. They leave on Saturday for a 2 week mission trip to Africa. I made this cake for the reception afterward.

BBQ Cake

This cake was for a memorial BBQ. It is 19" diameter.

Jerusalem Marketplace VBS 2008

It was a huge success. I've never enjoyed VBS so much. 9 children got saved.

Father's Day Cake

Jonah & the Whale for a fundraiser

Ok, he's ugly but he raised $650. LOL

Shirley's granddaughter's cake

Luke's Gospel Train Cake

Jamie asked me to make a Gospel train for Luke's birthday. I thought it came out fairly well. I was disappointed that no matter how small I wrote, I couldn't fit "Holy Bible" on the little Bibles in the car.

Graduation cakes

Me & Paul

I received a "World's Greatest Grandma" picture frame for my birthday so I needed a picture to put in it.

Pigeon Holes by David F. Scott

Last night we had our second dinner theater. It was so much easier this time. I think we are getting the hang of it. The show was great. The kids did an amazing job!

Rachel's wedding cakes

The cakes were cheesecake. I thought they came out nice.

I just realized that I haven't posted a Paul pic lately

That is just wrong! So, here's a recent picture of my adorable grandson. The lovely young lady with him is my niece Alexis. She is 6 days younger than he is. As you can see, Grandpa thinks Paul is pretty special.

Here is my latest cake.

I saw this Peeps Sunflower Cake in Taste of Home magazine & have been waiting for an opportunity to make my own. Mine is for a church dinner & needs to feed 50 so I made 4 of them. Then I had to figure out a way to tie them together. I made a sheet cake & cut out the stems from that. The stems are way too big & I wish I had cut them down more. I thought if I made them too thin, it wouldn't feed anyone but I don't like the appearance of the fatter stems. Oh well. live & learn.

Combining 2 hobbies

Nancy's birthday cake......... quilting on a cake is HARD!

Well, the wedding is over & my little girl is in Mississippi.

They better be taking good care of her.
Jimmy's brother William performed the ceremony & he did a
beautiful job. I made the cake.
