Happy July!!  It's been CRAZY around the studio this past month.  So many of you have come to try glass fusing...see, didn't we tell you it was fun and easy???  As most of you know, we also added silver clay to the mix a couple of weeks ago.  You can walk in any time and do either of these things.  Don't worry, we will be happy to show you how it works!

DID YOU KNOW???
Amazing facts

 
questionThis is a new section of the newsletter where we will tell you of fun new things we've found and little tidbits of info we think you should know about!  So, here goes:
 
- Oh my gosh!  We are in LOVE with Penzey's Spices.  Have you tried them?  If not check them out online at www.penzeys.com.  Their catalog even comes with great recipes.  I highly recommend the Smoky 4S Seasoning.  We've had it on every kind of meat and it's FANTASTIC!
 
-So, we were next door at Mocha's the other day and discovered that they make a GIANT cupcake for you to order for birthdays and other special events.  They are sooo cute!  P.S.  Julie's birthday is Oct. 7th...and she would share her cupcake!
 
-Our favorite summer drink recipe:  Make a pitcher of Country Time's Pink Lemonade.  Put some fresh strawberries in your blender.  Strain the seeds and pour into lemonade.  YUM!!  For a bit of fizz...fill your glass about 3/4 full of lemonade and the rest with seltzer water.
