First of all, no need for an apology. I haven't posted much since St Pat's..and Easter is around the bend!

I did get some cute Eater things at CTS shop, and they are still in the trunk!

Your cake stand is just beautiful, and so unique. I know it will look gorgeous on your holiday table!

What nerve! Deplorable. Outrageous. Shameful. Intolerable. Shocking.
What on earth have you been thinking? Where are your postings? Why haven't you been working on your Easter tablesetting?

Oh, wait a minute. That's not supposed to be aimed at you. That's ME!
Sorry. I get on it this weekend.

P.S. I really like the cake plate and cover. You don't even have to put anything in it. It just looks good sitting out on a kitchen counter top.

tisk..tisk..tisk..shame..shame..shame...gee that could be me you're talking about...just here, doing nothing >>
But then again, YOU turned out this beautifully painted Cake Plate, even while in a 'mood'. You're too hard on yourself.
Funny, your cake plate, for some reason, made me think of Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, turning the pumpkin into a beautiful coach! You did such a beautiful job on it, and gave it 'another life'...I see it smiling....BRAVO!

Luvs, I just love your painting projects, the cake plate is wonderful.

I think we all get the blahs from time to time. You'll probably be back in the mood soon. - Gail

Luvs, great job on the cake plate and by doing something like that, it proves you are still being creative. We enjoy seeing those types of projects too especially since not so many of us are able to or at least not with your talent. And you are a terrific "post-er" boosting everyone's morale with your comments. No need to apologize for anything!

Love the cake stand, Luvs! Your color choices of the white with the red edges gives it a wonderful, vintage look. Great job and terrific idea!!!!

Oh, Luvs,
Your talent never ceases to amaze me. Every time you post one of your projects I just shake my head and admire the beauty of yet another creation.

All of us get busy with this process called life. I still haven't gotten my Valentine's table on here! I don't know how others post here so often. And forget about blogging. I wouldn't begin to figure out how to fit that in. Not only do they post every day, but post the most beautiful pictures of projects they've created.
I consider myself blessed if I get online daily and grab a peak here before my eyelids close for the night.

You are always here encouraging, praising, helping others to attain their goals, as well as posting all of the projects you finish. There is never any need for you to apologize.

We all "LUVS" you very much!

Hi Luvs,
We understand the blahs...bet we all have them occasionally, so quit fretting!!
Your cake stand is lovely...I don't know how you do all that stuff, but I'm glad that you do and always share with us!!
Hugs to you, and wishes for lots of sunshine and cheerfulness to get you going.

Hi Gals, you are all so wonderfully understanding and encouraging. I went to the doctor today for my annual hormone implant so hopefully I'll be feeling lots better soon. Amazing how tired, draggy, grumpy, headachy, etc. etc. etc. I get when it's time for my "refill". LOL

I'm thinking on a Spring tablescape to put together before I do an Easter one. Hopefully will get it done and posted in a day or so.

Jane, I like your description of my cake plate. sonds so sweet! That's sort of how I "feel" when I find something like that to paint, hoping it will go from "trash to treasure" and be given a new life.

Luvs

Luvs,
Hope you are feeling better now! You really do keep this forum going - you dont have anything to apologize for. The cake plate and cover are gorgeous!! And what a great idea to co-ordinate two different things with your painting. Can you serve food on it? I am looking for food safe paints but the ones I saw were terribly expensive and still had restrictions.

Mo

Thanks Mo, I'm doing fine. No, I wouldn't serve food directly on the painted surface. I have some clear glass plates (from Walmart) that I figure I could use inside it for the cakes, cupcakes, cookies, etc. to sit on. And I won't submerge this in water either, just wipe it off with a damp cloth. I've seen several glass items painted on the backside so the top can still hold food. Would that work for you? I've not painted many kitchen items, I did a butter dish but it already had a glass insert too. Hope you find something that will work for you.

Luvs

Luvs, beautiful as always it will look wonderful in a Christmas setting.

I can't wait to see everyone's spring and easter tables. I no longer do the easter bunny thing kids are all grown but I've been looking for a pretty crystal cross for a center piece... no luck though.

I don't think I'll even get my Easter decor out this year. You might remember that last year I went thru just about everything (40 years of various decor) and priced most of it for sale and it is all still is DS' shed. We can only have 2 sales a year in this county now and I think we are waiting for other DS to show up and help. If I get the Easter boxes out I know I'll start shedding and just don't feel like it. Anyone interested in any of my past decor can check out the pages on our gallery.
