I have sooo many great memories, but some of my favorites are bringing my kids to the Dells, and watching them have soooo much fun!

One of my favorite memories is on the day my daughter Ariana was born, we had her sister Natasha come in to the hospital and see her new sister. To keep Natasha from misbehaving we ordered some food which included grapes. Well a nurse came in to collect the dishes and Natasha’s grapes and when Natasha figured it out she went running down the hall looking for the nurse that took her grapes. It was so cute.

I have so many favorite memories of my children but although it was still a scary time with a lot of unknowns one of my favorite memories was taking our three children to see our son, who was born premature at just 2 pounds, for the first time. Although you could tell that the children had a fraction of our fear themselves over the concern for our son and our new lives that were now uprooted and living at the Ronald McDonald house, when they looked at our son they only had love for him. They did have many questions on the equipment that he lived in, sustained him and monitored him but they were able to look past all that and just see this tiny baby. They didn’t seem to notice that there were parts of him which needed to complete developing such as the cartilage in his ears or how thin his skin was. They saw their brother as perfection even though they weren’t able to touch him but only view him from several feet away.

The effect of going from light to dark colors is called "ombre." It looks great and is super easy! You can apply the ombre effect to many pieces of pottery, and you can use all kinds of colors (we have so many different shades of pink in our studios, it's not even funny)! My favorite alternate title for this video blog is: Four Shades of Purple!
