Ok, those blueberry bowls have given me the impetus I need to find a job.
Oh, that blue is such an awesome color. Me loves it.
sounds like super secret code there! might as well been talkin' about super (silly?) string theory!
Thank you Gary! I am excited about trying some new colours.
:)
What about Hot Pink! You gotta' make a hot pink??? Pleeeaaase! Is it possible?
I see above that hot pink is certainly a hair color choice!
Now, I know what it's like when a co-worker and I jabber about computer issues in front of the other staff. LOL
Those bowls are awesome, Gary.
Thank goodness I have all these ingredients in the pantry - I might make some for Sunday dinner ;-)
Not too sure about all that potter code...but the pieces are fabulous!
