The question is, can you make enough for the rest of us?!?!

Have I ever mentioned what my mom used to do in the fall?  She would get those caramel sheets intended for wrapping caramel apples and sandwich them between two thin layers of Rice Krispie treats.  The stores around here only had the sheets in the fall back then (I think they're a year-round thing now), so it was very much a seasonal thing for us.

That sounds so good. Also, I have never seen caramel sheets. They sound amazing, I love all things caramel. Are they a local thing?

They're definitely not a local thing. I have found them in many areas. I usually see them in the produce section.

Not sure if anyone remembers from my ModMother reveal, but the great and glorious @@slinka sent me a $15 gift card to Shiro Cosmetics, and after weeks of agonizing, I placed my order!

Spoiler

Nic Cage Nibbling Petit Fours in a Posh Victorian Tearoom - Full Size

Nic Cage Churning Butter One Crisp Thanksgiving Morn - Sample Size in a Clamshell

A Girl and A Cat - Tinted Balm (Looks scary, but it's a nice berry color on the model)

Total came to exactly $15, and I paid the $2.75 shipping (didn't know if the gift card would cover shipping, and I thought it was fate when I got the cart to $15!)  Now the long wait, as there's a 2 week turnaround time (TAT) for order fulfillment! AND THEN I WILL HAVE MY PRETTIES OH YES I WILL.

And my Nic Cage Doing the Charleston in a Bustling Speakeasy (from @@meaganola ) and Nic Cage Nibbling Petit Fours in a Posh Victorian Tearoom will be BEST FRIENDS FOREVER.

Huh..I have never seen or even heard of this before.  It sounds delicious.  I thought maybe I was just being dense so I asked my boyfriend when I got home from work and he had never heard of this either.  He thought I was talking about something I wanted to invent..hahah!  I'll have to ask my mom next.  I'm so puzzled!

I have had my eye on A Girl and A Cat.  It looks like such a pretty color.  Once I make a Shiro order it will be mine.

Is it weird that I just want those glosses for the hilarious pics of Nicolas Cage?  Those are beyond hilarious!!!  I need them.  I want to get the Nicolas Cage Raking Fall Leaves eye pigment too.  Everyone needs a little Nic Cage hilariousness in their lives right?

Speaking of Nicolas Cage, I watched National Treasure with my 3 girls yesterday.  My 9 & 11 year old LOVED it (we've been to all the cool historical sites in the movie this year) & my 6 year old thought it was the most boring movie she's ever seen in her life.  ha ha ha.

 

[nikkimouse]

I hate admitting this, but I find Nic Cage highly annoying (maybe because I prefer actors who can disappear into their roles, and I feel like every movie he's in is just "OH HAI I'M NIC CAGE AS WHOMEVER IN THIS MOVIE. BUT REALLY JUST NIC CAGE" and I find that irritating.  So stuffing him into a Victorian/Flapper dress just makes me giggle.  Oh and did you notice on the Raking Leaves pigment, there's a link to an Etsy shop (owned by the lady who suggested the CotM) with a PERFUME OIL that matches the pigment?  Flippin' hilarious!

(Oh and I did love him in The Croods. Maybe because I couldn't see his face?)

They used to be called Wrapples (maybe they still are, lol). I can still hear the commercial jingle in my head...

Every once in a while, I find them in the produce department in a basket in front of the apples, but only once every few years or so, and only because I keep an eye out for them.

 

[tweakabell]

They sell some on amazon I might have to order some around Halloween

Oh man, you should hear the conversations my hubby & I have about Nic Cage.  We have even done little "plays" making fun of what movies would be like with Nic Cage in them because you're totally right.  Nic Cage can only be Nicolas Cage.  My favorite was my hubby showing me what Pirates of the Caribbean would be like if Nicolas Cage was cast as Captain Jack Sparrow.  I have tears of laughter in my eyes right now just thinking about it.  I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds it funny.  ha ha ha.

I had no idea he was in the Croods.  Is he the dad?  Now that I'm thinking about it, yup he has to be the dad.  The voice.  I'll never watch that movie the same again. . . nope I'll picture Nic Cage in a flapper dress or a tea & crumpet dress.  he he he.  REALLY need to make an order right now.

 

[kawaiisofoxy]

Yes! He's the dad!  And I'm watching The Croods with the kids RIGHT NOW!! (seriously, what would I do without Netflix?)  I totally heart Emma Stone (Easy A 4-ever!) and Ryan Reynolds, and it funny to hear their voice, have a name for their face, and reconcile that to their characters (which look VERY different!)

In fact, had one of those moments while watching Muppet Treasure Island last week.  An old pirate was talking and I *knew* his voice - it was the dad from Brave!  

I'm one of those people that sees a face/hears a voice and freaks out til I know where I've seen it before.  Yay for IMDB!  Used it last night to figure out that a guy from Witches of East End was on Buffy - A Long, Long Time Ago.

And I need to see this "Nic Cage as Jack Sparrow"!!! Sounds AWESOME.
