My mom, knowing this about me, gave me all kinds of goodies to get me started on my way. Thanks Mom!!!!
So, this past weekend, I finally got up the nerve to start. I was going to just practice on a plain vinyl cutting board but hubby said, "No, if you are making things with icing, then they are edible and we are going to eat them". Hmm
Thus, I had to back up and make cupcakes first LOL
I thought I would start out simple...I chose to try the shell border. I did pretty good with this. I mean, how big of a border can you have on a cupcake? LOL
After several bordered cupcakes, I decided I was ready to move on. Keeping the same tip...did I mention I am lazy and don't like to get my hands messy?...I tried my hand at rosettes. 
Next came leaves. Who has flowers without leaves? Well, possibly me LOL I finally got the hang of getting the leaf shape BUT all my leaves have 2 tips...not the traditional tree-type single tip. Guess I need to practice more.....or tell eveyone that I pruned before they arrived!
Mary, who knows how to decorate cakes, is probably going to read this blog and die laughing! LOL

LOL! Who ever heard of a white leaf! LOL. Actually, that is pretty good! I had to give it up. After a while, the hand goes numb from carpel tunnel. It is so much fun though! Keep up the good work!
