Writing Tip for Tuesday

Free-tiques going on over at the Writing for Children and Teens website. It's a fun Red Light - Green Light Game and everyone ends up with a critique...plus you can help our furry friends along the way too.

If you're interested in getting some real feedback, check it out here.

And, remember, FREE is a very good price, plus Cynthea Liu knows what she's talking about.

END OF THE RUN

So, Saturday night my hubby's play came to an end. It was a fun run.

RECIPE HOLDER

What a way to use an old store hanger - or one you have that's meant to hold pants or skirts. Wish I would have thought of this about 30 years ago. But...better late than never.

Pick Your Poison

Cyanide or Arsenic? Cheers to the Cast and Crew!

Plus I made bone cupcakes. The bones are made out of marzipan rather than fondant because I don't care how you make fondant, it just doesn't taste as good as marzipan.

I thought this was cute for the weekend performances of Arsenic and Old Lace.

I think this will be fun with a touch of fear...full.

Word Game

Pairs are fun to put together. If you want to try it pop over here. This is a dictionary.com game. I got 84% - if you play, let me know how you did.

Hope you like it :D

Tasty Tuesday

With Opening Weekend for my hubby's play, I felt like I had to do something for the cast and crew. So, what do you think I did? Yep, I baked cupcakes...

I tried to make them black frosting with white skeleton bones. I guess I need a little more practice. Oh well, I have another weekend to work on it ;D
