since they were both about cake! That was the only guidance I had: cake. Wow, the possibilities are endless!
I decided to alter a box of cake (yes, the cake mix is still in there and I plan to make it as soon as I feel like I can part with this creation). I took a box of Duncan Hines Caramel Apple cake mix and painted it with black craft paint. Added my goodies, and now it sitting on my kitchen counter. My husband thinks I may have lost my mind (little does he know, I lost it a long time ago). I think he is planning to call the doctor on Monday and see if he can get me some hormones (he blames all my strange behavor these days on a lack of hormones after my hysterectomy - LOL). Really, I am joking about that hormone thing....I think.....
I don't know about all of you, but after all the cupcake and cake challenges this week, I am craving me some cake and frosting really bad!!!!!

Bwahahaha.....painting a cake box. Yep- you "qualify" all righty, totally Twisted. Welcome to the Bus! Sistah, you need a prize for creativity (and I don't mean a robe that ties in the back). The bling and the sentiment are priceless, and the look on her face, well.... I dunno! Lol! You are the best! LYMIMIMIMI

Open the box top v-e-r-y carefully, remove the inside bag thingy, then re-seal. Maybe with a little weight inside. Then you can have your cake(box) and eat it, too!
Bonus: you can keep your husband perplexed for as long as you wish....

Look at you go again Nancy - does your DH know we nicknamed you "Nutzi". That might explain part of what is going on. Maybe your hormone issues pushed you over the edge. Either way, your creativity and cleverness show loud and clear with this fantastic creation. I don't know how you do it Nancy. I finally finished your ridiculous Get Well Card, but I don't know if I'll upload, cuz it's just plain "weird"! I did, however, manage to try it again and after obsessing for weeks on this card and trying to be like you, I finally finished it. It's such a mixture of silliness and elegance. I don't know how to be you...HELP!

OMG, after a week back to work after a "crafting holiday" following your surgery, you took a dive off the deep end with this - definitely a twisted one for sure, sweet Nancy!! Love how your mind explores ALL the possibilities! Kenny just doesn't know WHAT to think, I bet!
I would never think as creatively as you did with this cake box - painting it black and adding the "decadent" panel with your compromise sentiment. Adding the flourish to the box just took it over the top! You are such a hoot, Nutzi!

That is one way to get the husband's going isn' it. Start decorating all the food boxes in the house! Cake, cereal, crackers, soda can boxes, spaggetti, ice cream!!! Oh how I would love to see my husbands face if I alter the boxes at our house--it would be priceless. You go girl!!!! This is really fun and would make a fun gift too to a friend. Very imaginative.
