Skull and Elmo Cookies! :) YUM! (3rd try)

Here are some SKULL and ELMO cookies I made for not only our two grandsons but I guess for their parents and my husband and I. :o)

I didn't care for the GOOGLE eyed one. LOL!

 I think I made the black icing a tad too thin. :o)

 I think our 9 year old grandson Drew will like these. :)

 This is only my third time ever doing decorated cookies.

 Our 2 year old grandson Mason hopefully will like these. 

 He is ELMO nuts. LOL!

 The noses are ORANGE gumdrops flattened out BUT they took on the red color some.

The eyes are melting chocolate disks underneath google eyes.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. :)

I made my 56th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes!

Hey, hey, hey! It's my 56th birthday today and my twins too. Happy Birthday Sharon!
I love making icing and decorating cakes so I always make my own birthday cake.
Here is what I came up with. It is a Golden Vanilla Cake with Wedding Bouquet/Vanilla flavored Buttercream colored a very pale lavender. I have a pink filling in it but I haven't got a photo yet because we won't be cutting into it until later tonight. :)

I got the silicone cupcake pan from Ron, Erica and Drew for Christmas. Had to finally try it out. :)





Enjoy the rest of your week,
Susie

Skull Halloween Nails! :o)

 I got these polishes from my son Ron, his wife Erica and my grandson Drew for Christmas. :)

 Application was three coats. Not the easiest to apply but very cool. :)

 I used Konad Plate M13!

Matches my shirt perfectly.

 Ooooooooooooooooooooooo! :)
Have a great weekend,

Halloween nails! :o)

Wow, it sure has been a while. 
I've been on the couch a lot. I pulled a muscle in my back and have been trying to get it all better. I've gained a few pounds back because I haven't been able to work out. I'm doing a bit better and even went for a Harley ride yesterday and today. Short ones. :)
I finally am getting a slight desire to do my nails and boy you can sure tell I'm out of touch with it. :)
Here is a Wet 'n' Wild polish that my daughter in law Erica gave me called "Lime Fizz". It is a sheer polish with glitter and it was three coats. I then Konaded with plate M28 and the black Konad polish. :)





Here is how you Konad!

Happy Halloween everyone! :)
