I just had to share this story with you guys!!! I started decorating cakes this past february, and everytime I want to experiment with a new technique, I take my project into my guinea pigs at work. Over the past 2-3 months, I started to feel like they were starting to take it for granted, and not appreciate anymore. Well, I guess I was wrong.

I was running around the floor doing all the odd jobs that I normally do, when my boss tells me that she needs me, and then just continues to walk away. I follow her, and she went into the break room. Inside the break room, there were jsut about everybody from the entire floor in there. I walk in, and there is an envelope on the table with my name on it. They had taken up a pool and gave me a $120 giftcard for Walmart to sow how much they love all the goodies!! I almost started to cry!! I guess this means that they are getting something spectacular next week for Christmas icon_lol.gif

Actually, I am slowly getting orders. The hawaiian shirt and the shoe in my pics are orders from work. Also, lots of orders for cake balls and cookies in the past 2 weeks. icon_lol.gif
