So after three weeks of working in Dover & a fun holiday weekend, I finally made it back into the studio tonight to get back to work. I was expecting to find some dead plants, some pieces under plastic that had dried out, and quite possibly a reclaim bucket that had gone a little past being “reclaimable.”

Instead… I found a surprise care package!!!
I knew I hadn’t ordered anything recently, so I was more than intrigued.

I cautiously opened the box… and found one of my favorites… well, kinda…
You know I’m a huge fan of the Oreo and its many variations, but I must admit that I’m a little leary of the Fruit Punch variety. I haven’t seen them anywhere in Chicago yet, so someone out there sent me the “perfect” gift!!! And a sweet welcome back to my studio!!! I decided to wait until class tomorrow night to open them up so I can share them with my class. Expect another blog post tomorrow night with my “official” Oreo taste-test review!!!

Along with the Oreos, I also received a beautiful note from a Fire When Ready Pottery fan in Alabama!!!

And here’s the cute Alabama paperweight…
THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY AMY!!!
You rock.. and I love your use of texture!!!
