MrsMac ... thanks so much for that ... i didn't have any xmas cookie cutters but i had number cookie cutters so i made numbers 2 & 5 cookies (as in 25th of Dec)

Marydean ... oh, what a brilliant idea ... i purchased Coles brand Arrowroot biscuit ($1.29 pkt ... though ALDI have them for 89c a pkt) ... i iced some with white, some with red & some with green icing ... then i stuck on top a jelly xmas lolly whilst the icing was soft (a bag of 24 of them from Coles for $4.98, ... has snowmen, santas, xmas trees, santa going down the chimney & cute teddies wearing a santa hat ... these lollies are sugared marshallow and they actually are really nice ... not cheap quality & easy to chew) ... Well, i was the HIT of the playgroup xmas party today as Mum's from everywhere asked me how i'd made them. Even a Home Ec teacher complimented on them ... I lined the slice tray with red cellophane, it truely looked FANTASTIC !!!

THANKS A MILLION TO ALL OF YOUR KIND REPLIES
