The blogging world? We have been estranged for a while, hopefully we can get reacquainted.

First and foremost I found an amazing idea for a cake plate. I get really excited about very strange things. Plus, if I tried to do an update on my life -- over the time that I have been blogger comatose -- you would be reading until the time I would be starting a Christmas letter. Then there you would be. Reading about me again. So, crafty ideas (that I borrow wholeheartedly from other people) here I come. Instead of actually stepping out this project -- I have provided a link. To sum it up though, you use an epoxy to attach a vase to a vintage plate to create...an amazing cake plate. Reminds me of the time a friend an I attached a giant, plastic ant to the top of her mazda. The epoxy held for years. Good stuff.
