Colour Play
While shopping for some velcro today, I spotted some "Scribblers 40 Professional Colored Pencils" on sale so popped a couple of sets into my shopping basket. When I opened up the first set, they looked like this:
Tsk, tsk - the colours are all mixed up, this won't do at all! Soon after, order was restored:
At a quick glance, I reckon I have only 36 or 37 different colours and they are not exactly Derwent quality. But for $2.70 a set, it's churlish to complain.
Tomorrow is Good Friday and, in keeping with a family tradition, I will be making hot cross buns. Each year, we scratch around to find the recipe for our "real" hot cross buns so I decided to set up a blog of my family's favourite recipes. You can link to the hot cross bun recipe HERE. Let me know how your batch turns out! (And apologies for the imperial measurements. My brother once wrote a metric version but I don't have it stored on my computer. Hence the brainwave to set up a family blog!)

Here's my Hot Cross buns: http://kristinlaflamme.com/musings/?p=78 Now I'll have to try your recipe ;-)
I also made Hot Cross Buns today, but alas there is no mixed peel in this country, so I had to make do without.
Brenda, I did the exact same thing you did with your pencils when I got my set. LOL! I managed to get my hands on a 120-pc Prismacolor set for under $20US last year. I spent the first hour playing with them - getting them into the right order. How can you not? :-)
