I'm new here.
I got into Cake Decorating back in the 80's. My bestest friend ever took the time to teach me and let me use her stuff. I am wanting to get back into it again.
Here are the cakes I made back then:

Here is more about me if anyone is interested.
I'm 51 and have been married 33 years to my high school sweetheart that I met when I was 14. I was a stay at home Mom and loved it. We have two sons and they were a breeze to raise and are great guys. I have a wonderful daughter in law and a great soon to be daughter in law too. My grandson is 4 and is the light of my life. I started working very part time when the youngest was 15. I only worked 4 hours a month. I now still work part time and it ends up being only a total of a few months a year. LOL! I like it that way. I love emailing, yahoo groups and internet searching.
I have tons of hobbies now that the boys have moved out. Back when they were little I dabbled in macramé, cake decorating, and weaving pillow tops. Now I'm into quilting, purse making, machine embroidery, hand and machine knitting. My husband bought a Harley in June of 2006 and we have over 10,600 miles on it. We absolutely love it.

Hi Monica,

Oh!! 
I will watch it when I get home. I do not have a speaker on this computer at work.
As far as the charactor pans I get mine at yard sales or ads in my local paper. You may want to try ebay too. Good luck.
Ok, thanks Monica.
Have a nice day at work. 
Susie
Thank you Susie. I hope you have a great day as well.
Yes, a new addiction and I am going to love it here BUT it is SO very busy. Whew.
Thanks for the welcome,
Susie
Marksgirl,
How come you love my name?
I live just two hours north of Syracuse and my son lives in Homer. I bet you know where that is.
Do you miss it up here?
Thanks for the welcome,
Susie
Missy,
Well, isn't that neat.
I've never heard of Etna before though.
Susie
My name is Sue. 
Welcome to the boards...The ladies here are quite helpful...And very patient...
Sue the weather is great up here. I'm sure you miss that too.
TooCuteRose thanks for the welcome. They seem VERY helpful and very talkative.
Missy, that is weird that we have never heard of Etna. We will have to look for it.
LaSombra, thanks for the welcome. I may have to get up early than I do now at 3:30am to read all of this stuff.

Howdy! Been on here a few months but still feel like a newb myself. Everyone has been great! I have gotten a TON of great ideas from this site. I like to think of it not as stealing ideas, but copying the masters! 
Have fun getting back in to decorating! I am self-taught, started with a few party cakes for our gatherings then did all my boys' birthday cakes. If you've done it before, it's like riding a bike. A little pratice and you'll be right back in to it. See 'ya round the site!
Sweetrat,
This forum is SO busy. How do you ever read them all? I'm on a knitting forum like that and get so overwhelmed I hardly ever read anything.
That is great that you dug in and taught yourself.
I've only done six cakes and if I remember I did mostly stars.
I'm waiting for my starter kit to come with bags, tips and coloring paste.
It will be fun. I've already told me husband I want an oven put out in the garage to use in the summer.
Thanks,
Susie
Hi Monica,
Here it is if you care to see it:
I so enjoyed watching that . Thank you
Monica,
Glad you liked it. We put about 225 miles on it today. Got caught in a thunder and lightenting storm. The rain was so wicked.
Home safe though.
Have a nice night,
Susie
