We have just over an hour left for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… and I just replenished the bowl. C’mon over… or I’m gonna need to finish these all by myself after the show!!! And that would be “bad”… right???

This week, to celebrate the end of the Fall session… we may have had another “yellow towel moment” in both of my classes… allegedly. For the record, we were hoping for more pumpkin, and not just the “spice” of pumpkin spice! I mean, we still finished them though…

Another snowy & chilly day up in Wisconsin… and it looks like Kristy & Matt are staying warm with some homemade potato & leek soup. Just remember, homemade food tastes even better in handmade pottery!!! Just sayin’…

So my friend Pam has a “slightly unhealthy obsession” with Chapstick… and you already know of my “ever-so-slight-addiction”… so imagine my laughter & surprise when our mutual friend Judy gave this to me last night!!! Like an unhealthy love-child of Pam & mine!!! HA!!!
