Thank you for reposting your site Minnie, I was looking for some new ideas. Sal

I looked at all of your pictures. It sure is nice and festive looking at your house.

If the design is too intricate won't it just "punch out" the paper? Especially the outline (acting like a tearaway stabilizer). I have seen them embroider on screens (great for coverning a hole in a screen (remove screen first (o:) a bug or buttterfly,etc. I guess u can almost embroider on anything - just watch your needle,speed and tension. (Does the paper seem to wear the needle more? any fuzz or debree?

Glad you ladies enjoyed them. Wasn't going to post the cookies until I got them arranged, but thought "Oh, why not?" Just dug the sign out yesterday along with a few paper Valentine's things. I really don't have many decorations for this holiday. Gram, I hope you found your hearts today. Are you finally getting hit with the cold weather? I have friends in Maryland, but haven't talked to them in a couple weeks. Their weather is probably similar to yours. Anj, sometimes the wood has sections that just soak up the paint more. I used to seal all my wood before I painted--then started getting lazy about doing that. Hope yours will turn out okay. I imagine painting eggs will be allot like painting ornaments--probably not my thing--although I do have a few wooden eggs around here somewhere. Luvs
