Welcome Purplemoon, how wonderful to have another enthusist here! Your stacking plates are cute! If you want it "fuller" maybe you could add a few round sparkly Xmas ornis to it, and add some larger red roses, those slightly bigger things help add height and weight to the design. Your DIL did wonderful on her plates too, it is so cool that you two could do this together! I'm sure the dish manufactors in certain areas are wondering why the rush on the cake plates, they're probably thinking everyone is doing some "cookin" LOLOLO The easter plates should be pretty easy to do for everyone, since so much is available out there compaired to V-Day.

I am sorry you will find this a very inactive forum. I have suggested they combine it with a couple of others and rename it Senior Forum If you want to brag on you GC, come to the Kitchen Table and we welcome you to all the forums I have 4 GD, from 8-23. the 23 just got married and has graduated from college and trying to get a job in her field. the 16 is a honor student and my other two, one play soccer and the other is a gynamastic

Glad to have you here! I think you have to select either "Recipe" or "Recipe Request" (or something like that & if you don't it defaults to "Recipe." Hope you'll share some of your favorites.

Hi Sandy! I'm pretty new here myself so we can be the new girls together. Your house looks so nice! I wish you could send some of your grass over here. I'm in New Mexico where grass in someone's front yard is becoming more and more of a novelty lol! My sister is in Florida and I love going to see her not just because I love my sister but because I get to see grass and trees! I have to admit that I am really no good at exterior paint colors. Interior paint I can do but when the sun shines on paint that I have selected for any exterior surface the outcome is not pretty. Actually, we currently have the prettiest pinkish/peach workshop-garage on the block :) To this day I will swear I thought it would be a nice neutral cream to match our trim. However, if you go to your local Benjamin Moore they have a really nice brochure with exterior colors. They also have some really pretty beiges in the Historical collection. Have you looked at any of these yet?
