I'm actually trying to accomplish what you have done here ~ take something you've learned and make it all your own. So don't give up. And your cupcakes are ADORABLE. That's something I've been wanting to do for awhile, but at the moment I'm trying to get Gingerbread Men figured out so that I can get them painted for my holiday stuff.<BR/><BR/>Keep going with it.<BR/>CrystalCrystal ~ CJO Glassware & Giftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795312028739600731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-2218377527716566292008-09-05T07:36:00.000-06:002008-09-05T07:36:00.000-06:00Connie, I had to laugh at this post because I have...Connie, I had to laugh at this post because I have sheets and sheets of "trying to paint roses" too.
