Thank you Karen and Theresa ~ I will get over this and am starting to finally get focused on the roses that I'm working on for tomorrow's class. I can't let this get me down and I won't ~ it's a lesson well learned.

Here's my theory: if I worried about being as good as other people, I never would have created either one of my sites. But, I keep learning something new every day. If I allowed my mistakes to stop me, we wouldn't be talking right now. For me, it's everyone sharing and getting to the next stage, whatever that might be. Everyone who decorates well has had lots of disasters. It's all part of the learning process.

If you get a complaint, you already have in your mind to refund part of the money, so then you can do that.<br/> <br/>

Thanks, Eileen. Yes ~ I'm still beating myself over the head with it. Am not doing so well with my flowers either because I'm having such a hard time concentrating. Still have to face my friend tomorrow. I haven't actually spoke with her but her text was that the other mothers were "disappointed". Bad enough she was having a bad day with trying to keep her family from making a scene over other issues and I had to put her thru this on top of it:(

Diana - I'm so glad you posted the picture. It's really not all that bad - that's one rockin' Bulldog!! On my Facebook page I actually have an album called "They can't all be rockstars" where I post pictures of cakes that didn't turn out exactly as I hoped they would. And this is on my business site!! I think it's good for my customers to realize I'm still learning and that I have a sense of humor about things.<br />
<br />
I hope you got some good sleep last night and that things look brighter this…
