That’s Simple

I am thinking about changing the furniture around here at chez Pepper Paints. So, if you wonder over one day and think I got rid of your favorite post, it probably just got moved to a new spot. I am fickle like that. With the change of seasons I […]

Today we made an edible color wheel. This is probably the third or fourth time over the past six or so years that we have done this activity. It is always a big hit! First we made some frosting.
