It's definitely not just a Utah thang, we are doing it here in Southern California. I did mini tiles with people's monograms on them. Best part, my husband put them together so I only had the delivering to do. I love the fortune cookie idea. Very cool. Hope I remember. I'm going to use yours and Sutton Grace's family tree. I just need to find out what names go where. How many generations and who goes on leaves and who goes on the tree? Thanks. Look forward to checking back often. alysawhitlock@yahoo.com

I dip all kinds of things in chocolate…why have I not tried fortune cookies??

I'd assume you could get them at any restaurant supply place and a Chinese restaurant might even be willing to sell you some. I paid about $11 for a bag of 125-150.

We used Wilton melts for the dipping.

And Wendy…yes. Yes I am holding them hostage. We need to talk. Remind me tomorrow. I can't let those things get the best of me!!!

But I'm in Utah so my vote doesn't mean quite as much. You can see what I made at hereatthehive.blogspot.com
They turned out cute and will be well received.

They turned out absolutely gorgeous!!! Second, I think that I just purchased a the same poinsettia and pot. I thought it looked lovely as is by the fireplace, but now I think I may have to spray paint the pot. Great… :)

I was going to make those this year and got lazy or busy (you pick). Going to a store that sold paper big enough was an obstacle I just couldn't surpass.
