Someone gave me about half a borostick of glow in the dark and I love it!

It does thin out pretty quick though.

My kids (DD and her fiance') moved to Orlando about 6 months back and they LOVE it. DD is working as an entry level chef in Universal Studio's new Harry Potter deal, and her BF works at FedEx. They are so happy they don't have to drive 30 miles to get to work like they did when they were way down here.

My sister's family lives there too, and they settled up there after hurricane Andrew. Everyone has been buggin' me to come up and get the heck out of the crappy town down here. The kids are trying to get me and Scott to move to Orlando too, and we may end up doing that. I don't know a single soul down here that does lampworking, so if we move north I would love to meet other Orlando glass people.

It was a super secret project day... and there wasn't any room in the stu... we were using the lathes... you know how crowded it gets...

We had a blast. I'm a bit under the weather, but we're doing it again soon with more knowledge about how to tackle it even better!

Brent, we'll be back in Orlando on the 25th for two more weeks. Vicki said to tell you that if it's allright with you, she'll pick up her seahorse then.

Know it's a color that never really took off... I'm guessing for a reason. I haven't worked it, because everybody who has told me to avoid it... let us know how you like it. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
