Happy belated birthday, coracle. Hope it was a good day for you.
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters.
Some days you just make soup.

Re: Happy Birthday - Round Two!
Thank you, ladies. I had a lovely day. It was a nice break from work and the general craziness of life right now. Games are a big part of birthdays at our home, one of my favorites is Scrabble which I lost four times on my birthday. I think it was payback for the time I won four games in one day. I did win a game of Sequence.
Y'all know me pretty well. Those cakes are so amazing.

^I know, I really want to try making one myself! It looks like it might be at my skill level, too, as opposed to the architectural masterpiece you posted.

*nods* Yes, isn't that something?! And waaaay beyond my ability, lol. Plus, it looks too exquisite and detailed to cut into and eat, I'd say.

Re: Happy Birthday - Round Two!
Oh, thank you all! I did have a good day - I'm glad that the treats on here are virtual, as I got far too much sugar, beginning with a steady stream of goodies at work. Think I'm still buzzing today.
I am currently sheepless, Betsy-Rose, but it brings back fond memories. I hope to get a couple more within the next few weeks, primarily as companions for my lonely horse. We'll see...
That library cake is amazing, jo - so many details. I must say that I wouldn't have the patience to do something like that - everyone's lucky if I even get around to icing the things.
Of course, it doesn't quite represent my library - I mean, room on the shelves? What sacrilege! Where are the volumes piled on the floor, stacked to the ceiling, stuffed into crevices and stowed in boxes?

Indeed!
It's your brother's birthday soon, isn't it? *recalling last year's Moot when we sang a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to him* Well, do pass on felicitations and greetings to him from the NarniaWebber gang.

Will do! He really enjoyed it, too.
