First time looking at your channel, I was very impressed with the lemons. This year is my first time doing lemons & they go great in my kitchen, because my walls are a beautiful green & the yellow blends in so well. Thank you so much for the video I will definitely be making all of these.
So glad you enjoyed it Latishia!
