I still have a lot to learn about this blogging malarky...!!

I didn't realise that I needed to create a separate post for each entry...now I do!  Please bear with me on this learning curve!!
Here is my second CAS-ual Fridays entry for this week.....


                                                           
 


Like I said, (in the previous post!) a little out of the box thinking went on here! I was thinking about lollies, ice lollies and I ended up at lolly sticks. From my degree days I had a bag of lolly sticks (they were for model making - I didn't do a degree in confectionary!) and I thought they would look really nice if I stained them with ink and lined them up in rainbow order, of course!

As the lolly sticks did all the work, I didn't want to detract from them too much so I added a small sentiment (another handwritten one - I had my inks and nibs out anyway :)) in the bottom corner and a little frame around them and let them be in the limelight :)

Thanks for sticking with me :)
