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…

Blue
