      But you have to ask for them to take it off. They will Not give it to you other wise. And make sure they take it off. Hubby and I ask them for it and they pretended not to hear us. We had to tell them again before they hit total sale. They will tell you that you have to wait til next trip.

    I followed your video last night and made your ice gems. They're gorgeous! UA-cam doesn't do them justice. Anyway, I had some dark dark glitter and decided to give it a try. The result was gorgeous! I added the large glitter in a lighter color to the mix and of course some German glass diamond dust to add that extra sparkle. The end result was utterly stunning jewel tone ice gems! I tried making them at first without the large lighter color glitter and they just didn't have the uumph I was looking for. So using the dark glitter does work!
