    Your cupcake is so cute. I was going to make this for my daughter in laws baby and put a little baby on top and have my theme be sweet dreams, but I couldn't get the cupcakes to stand up good. Where did you get the walnut shells from? Nobody seemed to know where to get them. I tried batting and even put a washer on the bottom but it didn't quite work. Yours is really great.

    That is so cute. Love your brainy cupcake!!! LOL!!

    I saw this at a quilt show too. I didn't get any that day and forgot the name. I described it to one of the women at my LQS and she took me right to it. That stuff is expensive. I still want to make my niece a purse using the texture magic on part of it. I just saw a cute quilt that has just a few of the blocks textured.

    Thanks, Kathy......I want to make some placemats that have ice cream cones as part of the design. I think this TM will make adorable "Ice Cream"...

    It is expensive, but it goes a long way..........

    Crushed walnuts are used for lizard litter, you can get a bag at the pet shop , they are crushed very fine.
    I use that all the time for stuffing things

    Don't know as if they are actually potty trained, it's used in the bottom of their aquarium/cage. Maybe!! A friend of my son's let their big iguana roam the house part of the time----on purpose--just like any pet!! LOL!

    My son had an iguana, very small one, which I inherited. They used to use ground up corn cobs for litter. Unfortunately, they discovered that the iguanas ate the litter and it clogged up the works. Unfortunately for Pete and many others, it was fatal. I went through alot trying to pull him through. Oh, and before you ask, no Pete did not roam the house freely. Doug did have a tiny harness and leash for Pete and would walk him. Was a funny sight!!!

    Grammie Sharon: Ask at Joanne's, Hobby Lobby, or fabric shop for pellets used to stuff animals and dolls. They would weight the bottom and make it stand up.
