BLUES

I have broken my own blue-food rule.  I have ranted & raved for years about food coloring.  I have forever sworn off any faux food colored any shade of blue, but I have given in.  This year will be my very first time in my life that I will have a “real” Christmas tree (living, as opposed to artificial).  So, I decided that all the ornaments and decorations should be “real” too (read handmade or homemade).  I couldn’t resist the most beautiful electric-blue gum drops I have ever seen.  I am testing them out as a sweet garland.  Forgive the hypocrisy, but I promise not to eat them.  This next Call is another non-edible use for all things blue.  Maybe this one’s for you…
