Okay, an update... I live in America. Really, truly live in America. I bought a house and everything. My son attends an actual school that I get to walk him to every day. And every day we have a discussion about whether or not the dirt plugs from someone's recently aerated lawn is in fact dirt or if it might be dog poo. And we talk about where worms come from. And why daffodils are called daffodils.
And my husband moved back to America this week. We live together now. Like married people. And all of my boxes came to my house the next day. I found a ziplock bag of decorated cookies in one box and a canister of cocoa powdered covering every single kitchen item in another box. And my kitchen aid mixer. I think I would rather live without my bed than my mixer.
And in case you are wondering.... America is even better than I remembered it. I fell in love with this country all over again today when I needed to throw something away in public. And I didn't have to pay to do it. I just threw it in a garbage can. Just like that. No dirty looks, no guilt. I just threw it away.
So... moving right along from dirt and garbage cans... let's talk about this month's challenge, shall we? Make something new using the wet-on-wet technique. Layer down one color of icing and immediately use another color on top. The possibilities are endless. Swirls, polka dots, stripes, tie-dye.... I've rounded up a few fun projects if you need some inspiration --
Flower Bouquets (PS-- perfect for Mother's Day)
Simple Daisies
Hawaiian Shirts -- Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle
Birthday Cookies -- Bee In Our Bonnet
Wet-on-Wet Flower -- My Little Bakery
And your prize?
PME SUPATUBES. (Just for the record.... have any of you ever managed to say "supatube" out loud without faking an accent? Because I'm just not capable of it.) The winner will receive a #1, #1.5, #2, #2.5 and a #3 PME Supatube.
