love is in the air

Ok Teri...you absolutely must tell me how you can create such amazingly beautiful work as quickly as you do!! It takes me f-o-r-e-v-e-r to design and decorate. One of my 2016 goals is to design more quickly without losing the attention to detail that I desire to have. That said, what's your secret??? Inquiring minds want to know

I'm trying to figure out how you did what looks like shadow behind the white icing.  Please share!

Thank you Carol, I really don't make any big plans, I just start with an general idea and one thing leads to another

I apologize if it seemed like a silly question. I've always been curious about how to improve production time without sacrificing excellence.  Of course you came to mind .  Your response makes a lot of sense! It's all part of the process of learning.

It's NOT a silly question, just hard to answer for me, Most of the time I have one idea in my mind and get started with it and rarely do I end up with what I started out doing. I mostly just let them lead me. Also I think a lot has to do with the mood of the day. I wish I could give you more help other than I believe that practice is the key, the more you do the more relaxed you become until things eventually start to flow from within rather having a struggle. I wish you love and joy as you decorate...

Exquisite I love the stenciled backgrounds with that beautiful piping.
