A comment as soon as my computer eats itself!<br /><br />The treasure chest and gem molds I found at a cake decorating superstore in Orlando -- D&C Occasions, I think the name is. If you have a *real* cake decorating store, try them (Michael's and Joanns usually don't have anything like them)... otherwise I'm sure you can find them online (they'll just be a little more expensive). <br /><br />The glimmer is an edible powder made for coloring fondant called Luster Dust... I found it at the same cake supply store but I know you can find it online as well.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your comments! Post pictures :)<br /><br />JenMade By Momshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489065381594232601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812306052358086543.post-12810036578875448452010-01-22T16:27:14.241-05:002010-01-22T16:27:14.241-05:00Absolutely awesome!

Those three boys where Bryan, Tom, and Tyson. I had just moved into town at the time had no friends and never imagined that this chance encounter would lead me to become a better friend, husband, father, and overall a better man.<BR/><BR/>Of those three boys, Tyson and I became close friends instantly. His personality was that of which there were no likes. He was sociable, energetic, clever, exciting, and confident. All of which were qualities that I was not and was directly magnetized too. For the next 17 years after meeting, he gave me thousands of the fondest memories and life lessons that I will cherish, share, and pass on to my son.<BR/><BR/>One of the fondest memories and probably the pivotal memory that I have of Tyson which depicts his personality, our friendship, and depicts the time we had together the best was our Jellyfish drive which I would like to share with you today.<BR/><BR/>We were 17 years old at the time. It was Spring Break and Ty and I had decided to go camping up in St. Augustine. At this time in our lives we had no cares as to what the weather, was like since we where going camping and that in turn meant that you take what mother natures gives you. Needless to say, a hurricane had formed in the Atlantic and was skirting the eastern coast and we had no clue. We set up tent and went on our regular camp ways but as the night grew on the weather took a turn for the worse, it was a cold, extremely windy, and quite uncomfortable. I think I even ended up sleeping the car. The next morning things cleared up and curious as we where we got into the car and drove out to the beach to see what had washed up. As we drove onto the beach, we were disappointed by the lack of anything that there was to find. But as Tyson had it, there was always something to do on a wide, desolate beach in a car. He revved the engine and we peeled out but went nowhere…confused he did it again and the car revved, the little engine roared but the car went nowhere. He looked at me confused, opened his door stepped out. As he took his step from the car, he looked down turned around leaned back into the car and with his signature; wide blue eyed, excited, black dilated look, he let out a big “DDUUUUUDDDDE, check this out!!”. I opened my door, stepped out into what seemed like soft, mushy sand but upon close inspection was an 1-1/2” layer of jelly fish covered with a thin layer of wind born sand giving the impression that it was just a beach. I looked at Ty with a face of disgust, only to see him looking at me with an excited, mischevious look as he said “get in the car get in the car!!” I knew I was in for something….<BR/><BR/>We jumped back in the car, put our seat belts on and he put it in gear. He started of slowly but in no time we got some speed in and before I know it we are doing about 50 miles per hour before he jerks to the left, then the right while puling the parking break at the same time. We spin, and we spin, and we spin some more. I could not tell you how many times we spun, but I can tell you that, at that moment, spinning and laughing and spinning is what Tyson was to me. A whirlwind of excitement, energy, adrenaline, passion, and laughter that there will be no equal to my life and that I will cherish for ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812306052358086543.post-52227160808593575292009-02-09T22:14:00.000-05:002009-02-09T22:14:00.000-05:00I've always been a fan of the fantasy genre -- I'd...I've always been a fan of the fantasy genre -- I'd sooner pick up Eddings, Jordan or Goodkind than a drama or comedy.<BR/><BR/>If you like 'fantasy,' I definitely think it's a must read.

More now than ever.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for being there for me on New Year's 2007 when I was alone and had no one. Especially when the "crazy" lady showed up and tried to knock my door down. You were my hero with nothing but a smile on your face.<BR/><BR/>I am only learning of your departure from this earth and in complete shock. I only wish I would of been there.<BR/><BR/>You loved your kids more than anything and I know you will be missed by them. <BR/><BR/>Tyson, you were a sweet, caring person and made me smile when I didn't want to. Made me laugh when I least expected it. Comforted me by rubbing my feet and telling me everything would be okay. I wish you were here for that. <BR/><BR/>I will always remember our good times and the strength you gave me to be who I am. I will forever remember that.<BR/><BR/>Love you!
