Who okay FrekeChild....lets hear your life story...

[FrekeChild]

Hi miracles!!! Hope you enjoyed Vegas. I''ve been kind of out of commission for the past few days. Long story, weird ailment. He''ll probably hold you until this time next year, just to p!$$ us both off.

LP It should be here tomorrow. But I''m not going to look at it. That''s Dale''s job. Really, if this stone isn''t it and Dale doesn''t want Dan''s pink stone to be it either I''m just going to ask for a blue sapphire eternity band. I''ll post my list of cutters on your thread...

 

[FrekeChild]

Edit: He''ll probably hold onto it until this time next year, just to p!$$ us both off.

 

[FrekeChild]

Linda! How did I miss your post?? I don''t know about cinnamon rolls (so tedious-I don''t have the patience for yeast-rising baked goods), but imagine cinnamon roll cupcakes?

 

[Linda W]

OMG Freke!!!!!!! POST that recipe!!! THAT IS AN ORDER LADY!!!!!!

 

[FrekeChild]

I''d have to make it up first. Let me think about it, and I''ll get back to you, K?

But doesn''t that sound good?

 

[Linda W]

I''ll say, I would have to make a double or triple batch. Between my DH and grandson''s they would be gone in a flash!!!!!

 

[miraclesrule]

Dude, you two are killing me....I am so jonsing for a Cinnabon right now.

 

[Linda W]

Tee hee, heated up in the microwave Janice

 

[FrekeChild]

Lol. I''ll think about cinnamon bun cupcakes this weekend when I''m trying to avoid writing my paper.

I GOT MY ERING STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And D likes it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And here''s a potential setting (only with white sapphire side stones): Link

 

[Linda W]

and don''t forget you PROMISED ME THE RECIPE

I LOVE THAT STONE

 

[ladypirate]

It''s lovely!!!!! I thought you might be getting that one--congratulations!!!

 

[FrekeChild]

Linda....I''m still thinking about the cinnamon roll cupcakes. I was going to test out the recipe today, but I got voted no on them by more than 3 people who would be at the party I made cupcakes for.

So I''m going to post pics of the cuppies I made.

Brown sugar cake with Caramel Italian buttercream and little chunks of hard caramel sprinkled on top.

Also, I got new shoes. 3 pairs. I think FF might buy me another one today or tomorrow. So I won''t be getting anymore gemstones for a good long time.

Onto cuppie pictures...

 

[FrekeChild]

More...

 

[FrekeChild]

Another one....

 

[FrekeChild]

Second to last....

 

[FrekeChild]

Last one of the cuppies...

 

[FrekeChild]

Sexy red shoes. FF doesn''t like them because they have croc print. But OMG, they are so comfortable, and I''ve always wanted a sexy pair of red heels.

BTW, they were only $92. Marked down from $460. Casadei. My most expensive (original price at least) shoes ever, and worth every penny...

 

[Harleigh]

Yay! My favorite shoe fiend has her own thread! (Did I already know this??? God, I have been SO outta touch lately!) I can''t wait to read all about you, along with all the other new threads I''ve missed out on while off getting married and all!

So happy to see you sharing with us...I''ll read more tomorrow so hopefully I don''t repeat other peoples'' questions!

 

[miraclesrule]

Okay, I would seriously give you 3 pairs of my shoes in exchange for some of those cupcakes!!!

 

[miraclesrule]

GAH!!!

Forget the cupcakes....NOW those are some CROCS!!!! That''s what I''m tawking about!!!

 

[Harleigh]

Holy crap! I just saw your e-ring stone and setting...LOVE it, and those cupcakes look delish! Where''s the recipe for those puppies, I mean, cuppies?

Those shoes are hot, hot, hot! Three new pairs, huh? What a lucky duck you are! Congrats!

 

[miraclesrule]

Not that I am counting or anything...but that must be pair number 115!! You are a fiend!!

 

[FrekeChild]

Hi Harleigh!!! I missed you!!! I''ve been kind of MIA for a bit too...School got kind of hectic, and I got my fill of diamonds/gemstones after looking for my ering stone, so I wasn''t posting too much.

As for the setting, I''m not sure on that sucker anymore. I just want a damn ring already. I got hit on at this party tonight and I was SO uncomfortable. But I''ve decided on Platinum--just haven''t told D about this yet.

I''ll think about posting the recipe. They aren''t quite right, and need a few tweaks, so I''ll mess with that, and then post it.

Yeah, I managed to get the red pair for 80% off, and then a pair that was originally $80 that was down to $21, and another pair that was also $80, down to $29. I was so excited, because they were three pairs of shoes I''d been wanting for a while--a sexy pair of reds, silver strappies ($21) and black lace heels (they look like they belong at Fredericks if I''m being honest), so I was really happy with my purchases that night. I think the original prices added up to $620, and I spent about $140? not too shabby. You PS bargain finders are wearing off on me!

Miracles I missed you too!!! I feel like I''ve been gone for a while. I don''t know what''s up with that! I''m glad you like the new *Crocs*, and now you''ll never know which ones I''m referring to when I talk about them.

I''m going to have to make another spreadsheet with my shoes. Then I can really keep count on them. I might have more than that. D bought me a pair of Aldo''s not long ago too. They look really similar to the Sedarbys...Oh heck, I''ll just post them...

 

[FrekeChild]

And I forgot about a pair I''ve been wanting since I first saw them about 8 months ago (I guess when spring shoes first came out?) and couldn''t find them anywhere...until I found this pair--1/2 price. So of course I had to get them because my name is Freke and I''m a shoe-aholic.

But I figure I can wear them with anything, right?

 

[FrekeChild]

The lace ones I just got...yesterday. It was the last pair. In my size and all other sizes. For that price anyway.

 

[FrekeChild]

And because I''m sure someone is curious....

...pictures of my closet...

This is where my boots are. I don''t wear a lot of boots, so the area isn''t huge. If you''ll notice the Old Navy bag in the background, that would contain a few of D''s Christmas presents. To the left are my shoe boxes...There will be more pictures with those in there. BTW, my boots (and the heels mixed in) are all messed up because of the fact that the boxes are in front of them, and that D''s christmas presents keep knocking them over.

 

[FrekeChild]

My shoe rack, of heels at least...to the right would be those pesky boxes....

 

[FrekeChild]

The boxes. Of which there are 24.

 

[FrekeChild]

And the whole closet (my side anyway)...with only MOST of my shoes. They kind of leak over to D''s side...

 

[FrekeChild]

Have I mentioned that my closet is my favorite room in the house? It''s always orderly, and it hold my shoes, and all of my fancy throw pillows for my bed, and all the cuddly bed linens we use during the winter, and my purses.

It''s just a nice place to be. You can see I even have a rug in there so I can chill out and get away from D if I want to.

I actually used to have a *bed* set up in my old closet when I was growing up. Our house was built in the ''40s and it had a built-in shoe rack that was made of wood. I would go and lie down in there (it was a pretty big closet for being built when it was) and read books to get away from my parents and my older brother when he was staying with us for a while. Plus it was nice and cool and orderly.

I like closets. But with the way mine is filling up, I''m going to have to convert our other bedroom into my shoe closet...
