Sure wish my (rarely bought) lottery ticket would give me that kind of news! Kathleen that was nice of your friend to do that, many people will not do that, just because of worrying if they "gave away' the "big one" LOL

Beautiful cookies! It's amazing how long cookies will last. I have Christmas ones---trees and gingerbread boys---that I got 5 years ago. I still decorate with them, and they still look just like they did when I bought them on sale after Christmas! Be safe, Rach

You can take a couple of Hershey's kisses & make a long stemed rose from them. Get the red wrapped ones & if I remember right you put the bottoms of 2 together & wrap it with plastic wrap & you attach it to a flower stem with floral tape & add a couple of silk rose leaves, makes a very pretty long stemed rose. I've got 1 in craft room I might be able to find. So great for nursing homes, club members,church ladies, Mother & grandmas & neighbor lady. When they finish looking at it & Valentine's day is over they get to eat it!!!!You can put a rose in a vase from TS if you want to get fancy. VEry inexpensive to make!!! Jan

The best, and most accurate, fortune cookie message I ever opened had nothing to do with decorating. It was: You will step on the soil of many countries This was just a few months before I quit my job and spent 6 months traveling through Europe & to Japan. I still have that little slip in the wallet I reserve for foreign travel. It brings me a little jolt of joy to re-discover it before every trip.
