Woo Hoo! One more and you're there. And then 80 more after that to become a regular member. And 150 more after that to become a frequent member and then 250 after that to become a forum addict (which honestly you are after the first day, you'd have to be pretty good to get 500 post in one day).
It is fun to see your rank go up. 
I told you that I was good at blabbing. I forgot to mention that I just returned from Dresden, Oh. where the Longaberger basket factory is. DM bought me the cake basket, very pretty. The pie baskets aren't bad either. ($$$$) 
I'm sure everyone has some sort of basket to display their devine goodies!! I didn't tour as much as I wanted to because had to push DM (Dear MOM) in a wheel chair, oh well!! Do you all want to go back with me for a tour??? I'm not joking DD is a consaltant. The ceramic dessert were so real looking , they just have to be designed by our own CC member, don't you agree??? I just gave myself an ideas, to photo my cakes using my baskets..Thanks for listening.
