Sorry...

I wanted to touch base and let you all know if you've left me a comment in the past few months and I haven't answered, there's a reason!! 
I didn't realize gmail changed up their folders about a month and a half ago and for the past month and a half all your sweet comments and questions for this blog have been put into a folder called, "Social".  So, I've been thinking my blog has just been real quite this past month and a half and honestly my life and the events therein have been insanely crazy so I haven't given it much thought.
Well, the other day I was looking for an email someone told me they sent for a webinar I was trying to access and I found it in this other folder with over 200 emails, comments and questions for this blog.  I was blown away!!!!!!!  I'm SO sorry!  I always try to get back to each one of you, although it's getting a little harder these days! :) - but I'm trying!! :)I just don't want you to all think I've ignored you...that would break my heart.  But, I also wanted to let you know due to some family things going on right now, Craftsy questions, future classes I'm working on and homeschooling, I'm honestly not able to go back and answer those 200+ questions.So, if you have something that is SUPER important, please try posting another comment or shooting me an email.  I'll try to get back to you, but my response time is much slower these days due to the things above.  Plus, I'm really trying to protect my heart and family by not being online a lot right now and just enjoying these precious kids the sweet Lord has given me.So, sorry for not getting back to you all!!  I pray a huge blessing upon you all!!

OH, and in case you have been wondering, my new Craftsy class, "Simply Modern Cake Design" is coming out towards the end of October.  Stay tuned to the blog or my Facebook page for updates.  I'll start posting sneak peeks and some info about the class as we get closer! :)  For now, I'm not able to say much about it...so don't bother asking!! LOL!! :)

Need some advice! :)

I usually only average a cake a month...or every other month...due to the craziness of being a mom right now.  I have several coming up this year that I know of (mainly my own kids/family member's birthday cakes) and I wanted to get your feedback on some ideas of things you'd like to see me do tutorials of here on my blog!!!  This way, I can plan the designs of these cakes around things that you all really want to see!  I know a lot of you have taken my Craftsy class and are excited to keep learning new things from me and I'm so excited to keep sharing!  I just want to make sure the designs I come up with will benefit the most people and if I can squeeze certain techniques in here and there, I will!! :)SO, leave me a comment below and give me some advice about the following things:*Perhaps you've seen a design you just love but don't know how to pull off (leave me a link)*Perhaps you struggle with an aspect of cake construction, building or design that you'd love to improve upon but don't know how*Perhaps you have a party theme coming up that you don't know how to pull off in a cake design*Perhaps you'd like to have templates for certain things and you don't know how to create themWhatever it is...leave me a comment!  I'm not going to be able to get back to everyone, and I won't be able to answer all of these! - but perhaps there are a few common themes that I could help you all out with! :)  Plus, I'd love to see some links or pics or designs that you might want me to attempt this year!Thanks everyone!! :)  I'm so excited to see what the Lord will do this year and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to help those I can!
