Just so you know...the Queen and I have a lot in common, yes we do. LOL. Our birthdays are both on April 21st and our anniversaries (my wedding anniversary, her coronation anniversary) are both on June 2, so you see...the Queen and I are just this close...lol. Each year between April 21 and June 2 I sign all my emails to my close friends "Kayte, Queen of...." whatever I think of that day, Queen of Laundry, Queen of Errands, Queen of Mopping the Floor, Queen of Happy Attitudes...you get the drift. LOL. So now you know...the Queen and I...oh yeah, I need to make this cake.Kaytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892296035070233639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904224777464805669.post-69496969785422942812012-06-30T09:44:58.645+10:002012-06-30T09:44:58.645+10:00Beautifully done!
