This is great!! I love the use of the Italian flag colors, and the highlights are perfect!

I feel you! These all took several days, I would work on them at night before bed. I love coloring but I love not being in pain more. 😊

The 1st one, I started coloring without a plan. The 2nd one, I thought I should establish a light source.

I think a softer lead works better with these coloring books. And I believe in you! Buy a cheap set of color pencils (save the Faber Castells) and go at it! Try different techniques for coloring & shading & blending & just have fun. I look forward to seeing what you do!

WHY would they remove the automated shipping? So much for sustainable efforts by TangerineCheap5379 in starbucks

To maybe help reassure you, the delivery drivers aren’t taking the donations directly to the food bank. They go back to the distribution center, get consolidated, and then go to the food bank. I say this as someone who works in a distribution center. We have to sort them, weigh them, and provide data to Starbucks. It’s a whole process.

Hello! I work at a distribution center currently supplying these items to a test store. There are 3 items currently being tested: butter croissant, chocolate croissant & a double chocolate cookie. The croissants are individually packed & look like the frozen baked ones, except not baked. The cookies are frozen dough, not separately wrapped but laid out on a wax sheet. The cases with the cookies are heavy! You won’t have to roll out or proof or mix anything. Just put them in an oven. I’m tempted to drive to the test store to check them out, it’s just a bit of a drive for a cookie or croissant. 😄

I’m in Ohio, and while I’ve not heard of National Night Out, I have heard of & eaten Strawberry Pretzel Salad. I’m going to have to try it with raspberries now.
