Tried to link my blog posting just now- not sure it's working. Anyway, I enjoyed working with the "mint chocolate chip" colors so much!
I loved working with the mint choc. chip, and this week's color is just as fun--I didn't even know there was such a flavor--great combo!
Congratulations Piarom!!
Just added my Mint Choc Chip - loved creating with those colours. And can't wait for next week although I've never heard of that flavour but it sounds yummy!!
Congratulations on winning, Piarom! What a variety of colors and flavors of ice cream each week! Had never heard of Baseball Nut ice cream until this morning. Now I need to think about what to make this week.
Loveing it...though not to clear on what colors "Basebal nut would be. Black Rasberry is til one of those that could be so many things. So I assuming this year you are leaving a lot of things to OUT interpretations of things???
Congratulations Piarom. :)
That is super exciting that quite a lot of us are taking part in this event. I love seeing the entries and visiting the blogs to discover new Artists and make friends.
You rock and I look forward in seeing what everyone comes up with in the second week. Loving the imaginative color prompt, will see what inspires me this time round. xx
Have a blissful week everyone and keep on rocking the ice cream color way. :)

Thanks for this challenge! I had a lot of fun using mint green -- not a usual color for me.
I thought I had signed up before week 1 started. Do we have to sign up each week? Maybe I just didn't look for my name hard enough. Anyway, enjoyed this week's color and look forward to next weeks!
I hope my link works for the Mint Chocolate Chip post on Flicker!!
I haven't had time to blog!
