Actually hon, you'll find it easier to do crumbs with the paste because you can work them and roll them. Not like the liquid that gets everywhere and just looks like it's coating things. :)
I think you'll find the paste easier to work with than you think. :)

KS, I know the feeling, I used to get sooo excited at the holidays, I used to be sooo anal about making sure to send everyone messages, and well wishes, and used to do all kinds of things to get ready. Now I'm thinking mcdonalds and a birthday candle. It's gotta be the depression.
I hope yours gets over soon, and you're able to find an even keel.
