I feel so much better now.......I MEANT to watch a slip trailing video but just got the answer to what to do with ALL that CLAY that was not labeled ....because we both know.....food freezers and studios have things in them, that when we say "I will never forget what this is" always end up being frustratingly unlabeled and forgotten....lol
