Last week I had a girls day out with my sisters-in-law Lacey and Kathy. It was so much fun. First, we had lunch at Lacey's house (she made a cheese soup that was heavenly) and then we went to Color Me Mine. It's this really fun place where you go pick out a piece of pottery and then paint it however you want, and after they fire it you have a personalized piece of art. There are a ton of things to pick from: plates and cups, serving platter, covers for plugs or light switches, piggy banks and keepsake boxes. They also have a bunch of different colors and things to help paint like stencils or stamps. It was so much fun. We spent about 5 hours there from start to finish. Lacey actually had to leave us early because we were taking so long. In the end, we made some beautiful things. Here are a few pictures.
Lacey picked a gravy/syrup boat. She painted it red with white daisies. Kathy chose to make a birthday plate. It's got a big cupcake with the words "happy birthday" on it. I painted two mugs (for my smoothies Ü). One of them has a Dallas Cowboys theme and the other has music notes and the words "sing like a bird" which is something my Grandpa Frank wrote on a card for me once. I'm totally excited for when we actually get them. Color Me Mine has to fire them for a few days so Lacey will be picking them up and hopefully we'll head down there soon to see them. It was such a fun day and I can't wait to do it again.

Very cool! I can't wait to see pictures of the finished product!
That sounds fun! Where is this place? I've never heard of it before. Make sure to show off your masterpieces.
I would like pictures of the finnished products. Sound like fun. I think it is neat that you remembered Grandpa Frank saying that. I'm glad you choose music for your mug.
I just sent you the german pancake receipe to your hotmail. I thought I better let you know incase you don't check that email often.
Darin and I did that once for Valentine's day before we were married - it was so much fun! I'm sure you'll enjoy many cups of hot chocolate in your fab new mugs!
