I am so in LOVE with you it's ridiculous!
I think I need to go to KORALEE Anonymous!
I would stand and say:
"Hi...my name it Teresa....and I'm a KORALEE addict!!!!!!! ;o)"
Seriously!
Could you be anymore amazing!
Well I know the answer to that sweet question...and it's a big fat NO-Sir-Ree!
Okay!
You must!
And I repeat!
YOU MUST!
Do I need to repeat myself!
okay I will!
YOU MUST!
Let me know WHERE you got the apron!
I am going to have to have that very same apron...asap!!!!!
And did those JIMMIES come from Trader Joes!!!!!!!!!
If you say YES I am just not going to be capable os standing it!!!!!
Those are without a doubt the cutest colors of JIMMIES ever!

Happy Happy Baking in your sweet sweet world. Your apron is ADORABLE!
I made some sweet petits for the teachers today, thinking about the deep respect they deserve. Friday will be the last day before our Summer holidays.
Hugs and more hugs for a JOYful date with Mr. Fire Engine and Mr. Cool Pool, I would date these hunks in this way, first Mr. Fire Engine and Mr. Cool Pool for desert!

And the JIMMIES comment
was very clever, indeed : )

your date sounds and looks adorable, but
i might prefer a bottle of champagne and
a candlelight dinner. :) one can dream.

no....a date could not get any better! Frosting is all I would need :) I would even skip the apron & go straight to the Jimmies :)Although...I don't have an apron that adorable & that might be all the difference:)

Hi Koralee,

Your date sounds wonderful and what a feast for the eyes with all the wonderful colours.
I have never heard of sprinkles called Jimmies, so you learn something every day.
The apron is so sweet.
