Yours actually sounds really thick. The only thing I would suggest to change is the amount of icing sugar... to about 2 cups.
A capful of vanilla is about a teaspoon.
For the butter or margarine, it all depends on how decadent I want the icing to be. Some recipes out there call for a cup of shortening... that's a little too rich for my blood. lol I usually stick to around a 1/4 cup... some days it's 2 tablespoons, other days just under a half cup (no more than that though!!).
