I was just thinking....How awesome would it be to have our first little how to be a tutorial on cake boards? I've noticed that since I've started decorating my boards...I've gotten more compliments. The cakes themselves look more professional.

great idea dianna! i just use that silver stuff for wilton.
have a great day everyone!!

I want to wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas! I am sending warm Holiday wishes your way. Please be safe and enjoy those lovely families!

Hello all....is anyone out there?????......lol....this thread is slowly dying down...How was everyones x-mas? Mine was good, Santa came and my kids had a field day!!!! I didn't know nintendo ds's made such a great sitter...lol....well i hope everyone is doing good. ~~Dedra~~

Hey Dedra! Glad to hear! We are well...still keeping busy. I am waiting on the kid situtation to settle down before I set a firm date for our first meeting. I have my two nieces because their parents are losers. Still up in the air whether they are gonna be permantely here or not.

Hey everyone.... Hope ya'll had a great Christmas. Mine has been very busy and stressful, due to lots of reasons... I am finally starting to feel better. I've been sick for over 3 weeks now and just can't kick it.

I got so far behind, I am still making my usual Christmas goodie baskets that I give to all my family and close friends...but they understand since I've been so sick...it'll be more like a new year's basket..lol I did make some really cute choc. covered oreos. Hopefully I'll get some pics uploaded soon.

I'm looking forward to our upcoming meeting, whenever we decide to do it. I want to also remind everyone that if they want to go to the cake club meeting in Lubbock, it will be Sunday Feb. 1st. I have decided to continue going and become a member of it, as I think there is so much experience and knowledge in the members there and they have soooo much to share. Their yearly dues in Lubbock are $20 if anyone else is interested....you can pm me and I'll give you any other details or info you need.

Kim

Hey everyone! I hope your New's Year's celebration went well. What does everyone think about January 31st in Odessa? Will that work for everyone?

Saturday, January 31st would be fine for me. Where are we thinking of holding the meeting??

Where do you think would work? I know we will need somewhere to spread out. Lemme look into meeting rooms etc.

Hello all I'm from Big Spring nice to see ya'll Glad that the link was started for us west texans

Hi abayes! Good to meet another West Texan!

good to meet you too, I will enjoy talking to others from our area

Hey all....January 31st sounds good to me.....let me know what i can do to help...hope everyone is doing good~DEDRA~

Hey..How many people should I account for? Maybe like 10 to 20? May not have that many but so there will be plenty of room? Does that should about right?

Lets try to get a count going......anyone interested in attending our first meeting on January 31st let us know. We got 2 so far, Diana and myself

1. Diana
2. Dedra

Anyone else??????

Count me in!!!

So that's three....Where's everyone else?

Ok, I sent out PM's to every who showed interest. Total "invites" including us: 16. Someone said they knew someone who'd be interested. Plus the one other lady from here and the one from Alpine. So now 19. I'll give it a few days and see who responds.

Hey, I found this other thread about Texas Legalising Home Bakers. That would be awesome All it requires is letters to your rep and senator. PLEASE look at it and if you would send those letters!

Would anyone be adverse to changing the location to Fort Stockton? Just so it would be easier to find a location to have the meeting. I waited too long to call Odessa. I tend to forget that big cities work differently than smaller towns.

Oh also, can y'all pm me your email addy? Just so it will be easier to communicate re changes etc.

Ft. Stockton is kool with me....if u need anything let me know

I haven't been following this thread because it won't let me in. This website won't let me login or do anything with it. I can't get messages delivered to my email or anything like that. I was able to post some pics and then it crashed on me again. I just gave up and did not even bother checking in. I finally got an email from Diana today and decided to check here to see what was going on and it's working!!!! Unfortunately, I can't make it on the 31st. We are going on a skiing trip to Ruidoso. Well my husband will ski. I will just sit around and play with my kids.. I tried skiing 2 yrs. ago and spent 3 hrs on my a$$. I gave up. Later I realized I have a vestibular imbalance which means that I have poor balance and coordination. No wonder I could never do sports. Anyway, not that I'm interested. Sorry for my sad little story, NOT! But anyway, if you guys continue to meet , count me in. I'm really interested. Have a great day.

Martha

OH MAN! I am SO Envious! I have always wanted to ski! I'm like you though...I'd prolly end up on my butt! Have fun!

thanks!! I'm craving cake right now but I really need to try to lose weight. I gained 10 lbs over the holidays! Not good.

I know how that goes!! I've had a serious case of the munchies...it'll pass tho!

I love Ruidoso! We go up there at least once a year, especially in the summer, to get away from the heat here in EP.

I say leave the kids with DH and go play at the Inn of the Mountain Gods! But then, I just love roulette!

Well, I have no idea where anything is at so I'll just have to rely on other El Pasoans to let me know how far. Is anyone from El Paso willing to carpool? Will this need to be an overnight thing or a day trip?
