Hello alracntna, I'm in the Dallas area, and am familiar with Bryan (I was married to an Aggie and lived in College Station many years ago). I would love to come to your DOS, but am not able to drive that distance. Sure wish I could though. The DOS sounds like a really fun thing to do! Janice

im so sorry to hear you cant come. i am sorry we are not closer i know that dallas is about 4 hours away from here. if you find a way to get here let me know and i will add you to the guest list. remember, dh and kids are more than welcome.

Hi! I live in Houston... I am a new member of this site. I would love to meet!

you are more than welcome to come. pm me if you are going to make for sure make it and i will put you in the guest list.

I've never been to a DOS...what do we do and what do we bring?

Thanks!
Sherri

you dont have to bring anything but you can bring a dish so that we have lunch and noone has to buy something say from McDonalds if you would like you can also teach something you have learned over the course of making and decorating. we get togther and we share what we know with each other learn from each other if you would like to come just pm me when you know for sure that you are coming and i will add you to the list.

I would love for someone to show me how to quickly and effortlessly make fondant drapes and swags. Drapes and swags drive me NUTS!!

is there anyone who is going to come that can teach us these things? the fondant drapes and swags. if so pm me and don't for get i wont just assume you care coming i need you to pm me and let me know for sure that you are coming.

Misdawn.... I will try to come. If I do then for sure we could go together! Will you be able to spend the night? I sure don't think I would want to make a trip back home if it's that far. Maybe me, you & Ntertayneme could share a hotel room since we know each other!!

You reading this Ntertayneme? What do you think? I would love to get together again!

We have time to plan this!! TTYa'llS!!!! ~TC~

Hey TC! I'm up for getting hotel rooms if ya'll are. I hated leaving early at your DOS. I don't want to drive back three or four hours either.

how far is bryan from fort hood? i don't know if I will be able to come in oct, but I sure will try my best. I would LOVE to meet you all!!!

According to mapquest, it's about 2 and a half hours straight across (it becomes hwy 6 in Cameron; I don't know what road that is in Ft. Hood. You can't tell according to the map.) Hope that helps!

Hey TC, sounds great to me.. I was going to spend the night with my SIL in Houston, but I'll stay with you guys if that's ok.. I think you can get government rates too right? If not, let me know because I can and it would save us some money on the room rate .. just let me know and I can start scouting for a room there

Anyone want to arrange a carpool from Houston?? I would offer to drive and we can all share gas expenses.

I am so glad everyone is so excited. I hope everything works out with all your plans and everyone is able to attened. so far i have 4 people down as attending and one person teaching. i need help with this. more people PM me to let me know if you are coming and please say you are going to teach something. thanks.

I was hoping that someone would come to the DOS and share with us a real good home made cake mix. i make my own cake batter but it is not soft and moist like i want it to be. i am getting better on my decorating but what good is it if when you take a bite of the cake it breaks your teeth or it is real chewy or just doesnt taste very good? anyway if some one who is not going to make it has a good cake mix, please share now so i can try it. last mix i tried was a pinapple cake that i got the recipe from here and it was not good at all. more than half of the cake sat there for days and around here with how big my family is that is a sign that something is not right. TIA

Did you say the date will be Oct. 22? I live in Houston but I will have to make sure I can get a babysitter. As soon as I know...I will PM you. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun!!!
traci

yes Oct 22nd. If you can not get a babysitter, please feel free to bring the kids. I will have mine. Bring the DH too I will have mine.

Thanks! However...my plan is to come without them...I have really wild kids! And my son is a mama's boy and hangs on me too much!!! I will do my best to come! Thanks again.
traci

I hope you can make it, Let me know, just PM me when you are for sure so I can put you on the guest list.

I am so excited about this, i have things all set up. tcturtleshell has done a lot to help me out, thank you tc. i like the ideas she has so i am going to do things a lot like the way she did. i also want to thank ntertayneme for the help she has given. i know this will turn out great. see you all in Oct.

I really want to go, but it's rugby season and most of my Saturdays are booked up. If, by some longshot fluke chance, the game on the 22nd gets cancelled, I will PM you. If not, have fun all!

Oooh can I come??? I'll go back and read the rest of the post for details!

Of course anyone can come but the date is changed due to the hurricane. i have not reset a date but i am not going to have it till after the new year. i will keep everyone posted.

I live in San Antonio how far is that ????

sounds fun ....

I would love to go..... but that is my daughter's birthday party is that day. Maybe we could have a DOS in the San Antonio area sometime.

Sorry guys--just saw this post. I live in Longview and whenever this DOS comes up, count me in. I would love to put a face with the names here. Just let me know the date and I'll leave that date open. If it's still on Oct 22nd, I have 2 weddings that day. Let me knoww!!! Pam

I am thinking more like March or so and San Antonio is about 3 hours from here.

We should do a DOS in San Antonio too. IMO

you know thats a good idea.......I just found out that theres a cake club here ...I missed last weeks meeting so maybe ill make itnext month but you can count me in for a DOS!!
