8. So sorry that I didn't see the post about your sweet kitty, Marshmellow. I am

sending comforting, healing energies in your direction. That kitty knew how much you loved him. I'll bet he will still come around for petting, loving, though he won't be in quite the same form.

Congratulations on your big win in the cake competition. You created a masterpiece!!

9. is that the cake?

[magicarpet]

10. See,.. not bad,... you were concerned because the towers were not perfectly straight.

Nice job,.. we will all be over to your place for a piece of cake.
There will be ten huge tour buses in your driveway,... does 8:30 to 9pm sound okay ?
This will be so much fun.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Really, a tower did fall as they were putting it back in case after judging.

It took the monkey's (Abu) head off and broke Jasmine's arm. I did some repair on it, but still have a straight pin holding on her arm!

44. Congratulations! and Condolences...

So sorry about your cat. Marshmallow is an awesome name.

Does anyone actually eat those cakes? If so, I'd hate to be the first one to take a knife to such a beautiful work of art. Just couldn't do it - sacrilege!

[sinkingfeeling]

48. My fair "cakes" are done on dummies as they are only judging the decorating.

Thank you for thinking of Mellow. He was a flame point Ragdoll with deep blue eyes. They don't usually show up as unwanted strays. I was so lucky he chose me.

[certainot]
