For those of you who were paranoid as I was about not getting your rebate for pre-ordering a Note 4. I just wanted to see who else has gotten their rebate in as well let the others know that the checks are out there.

It came in the from of a check from PrizeLogic.

Hey all, I was curious as to what you all do when prepping to ice some cookies.

Obviously, you have your thick royal icing made and ready to water down and color. But do you prefer to mix each color and consistency one by one (mix a red flood, then a blue flood, then a thicker blue, etc etc), or do you mix up a big batch of flood icing or thicker icing, and then separate it out for the colors you're going to use?

Right now Im mixing them one by one, but man does it take a while. On the other hand, I try not to go too crazy with too many colors.

Has anyone had success with this? What did you send to Samsung?

Im on Sprint, and I didnt really get a physical receipt or anything. Just a confirmation of credit added to my account, with no reason why I got credit. Worse yet, the credited amount doesnt even match up with what Sprint initially offered me for my old phone. And it hasnt yet been 45 days since I accepted the offer, which is the cut off time for when the credit amount may change.

Im trying to figure out the differences between Eyefinity and Surround.

Im currently running two HD7970 cards in crossfire and triple monitors. So Im pretty familiar with Eyfinity and know what it can and cant do, more or less.

Example, switching between extended desktop and Eyefinity is pretty quick and painless. I can have all of my monitors connected to the primary GPU.

But I know nothing of surround aside from things Ive heard. Such as you need to have one of your three monitors connected to the second graphics card, and that it can be slow to switch, and doesnt remember desktop settings, etc. And Im wondering if this is still the case with the 980/970?

So Im looking for peoples tho

Hey guys, Its my first time making patriotic cookies for the 4th, and Im kind of at a loss for ideas.

I don't really want to make flags or stars, they seem to simple. I want to challenge myself, similarly to like the Cinco de Mayo cookies I made.

I'm curious to see what you guys are doing, or what you're all looking at for inspiration.

I want to buy some piping tips, but Im not sure what sizes to invest in.

I see people using 00,0, 1.5, 2, 3, etc. And arguments about Wilton, Ateco, and PME.

What tips would a newbie need to get started? Looking for tips for flooding, linework, and brush embroidery.
