Black. White. Gray. EASY! Not!

When I was asked to do this order, my thought was
HOW HARD CAN THIS BE?
SHE ONLY WANTS WHITE, BLACK, and GRAY!

Let me tell ya--
 This. was. hard. for. me!
I'm not a white, black, and gray person.
I love lime green, 
orange, 
yellow 
and sometimes fuchsia!

When I handed it over to the customer,
I almost didn't want to look at her face.
My thinking was, 
IF I DON'T LIKE IT, SHE WON'T LIKE IT EITHER!
She loved it!

The above platter had to grow on me.  
After a few weeks, I kinda liked it.

Then came this order.

REQUEST: black, gray, white!
I begged my customer to let me use an additional color 
so she said okay.
Yellow.
Ahhhhhhhhh.
I can breathe.

 When this order was all put together, 
I decided that I kinda like the color gray.
It's kinda BLAH until you give it some friends!



Then came this order!  
I was excited to use gray.
Notice, I even used light gray and dark gray.

Whoaaaa, that's really pushing the envelope!
I now love gray.
I use it quite often. 
I love the combo of black, white, gray and a BRIGHT color to spice things up.

PS-I may have purchased a few articles of GRAY clothing in the past few months.






Whooo would've thought!
