About 15 Years Ago I Bought Some Christmas Ornaments Made of Biscuit Dough and I Would Like the Recipe Please

  • Posted on November 22, 2009 at 2:14 pm

They are cookie cutter hearts and houses. Their top surface is very gently rounded, almost flat, and they are about half an inch thick and an even light brown colour. They have a hole with ribbon through to hang in the tree. They definitely look like they are made of foodstuff and not craft clay or anything, yet they are not salt dough and they have not been glazed or varnished. They have not deteriorated in 15 years and not been attacked by biscuit beetle or bugs. I keep them in a glass jar. There is royal icing piping on them in patterns of snow flakes and dots and swirls. They came in cellophane bags when I bought them AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE, THE CELLO BAGS WENT YELLOW, HARD AND CRACKED AND SELF DESTRUCTED AFTER ABOUT 3 YEARS, so I put them in fresh cello bags every few years. I would love to make some more. The labels came off them years ago and got lost. I bought them in a department store. They are about 5 inches across.
Dear ViSaja
I clicked on the link, thank you. In Australia, white glue that is used in school by kids, is called KLAG. I suppose it would be equal to Elmer’s. After reading your answer, I bit the bullet and went to the jar and with trepidation, tongued one of the hearts. No taste of salt at all, could taste flour, and had aftertaste of maybe GLUE. I will try the recipe, thank you. After I wash my mouth out!!!!
Joanne, thank you for your link. I joined that site.

When Portrait Photography Would Make the Perfect Gift

  • Posted on November 21, 2009 at 12:16 pm


Any photography professional worth their weight in gold will know that the perfect portrait will make the perfect gift for any occasion. It is such as worldwide thing; after all, how many people have photos of their loved ones in their home?A portrait can say a thousand words. These pictures need no explanation, and in a nice frame, can make the perfect gift! Both personal and thoughtful, gifts such as these do not have to be wildly expensive and can be the greatest gift, especially when you cannot think of anything else to get the recipient! Think of the portrait photography that occurs at weddings? Wonderful pictures of the bride, bride and groom, family altogether and such like. Why not purchase one of these photos straight from the photography professional and having it blown up to give them on their first anniversary as a gift and suchlike. Again, portrait photography such as this needs no explanation and everyone will know what it is. The same applies for new babies. Why not have a photography professional take beautiful pictures of the new addition and have the photos put in lovely frames as a gift to the new parents? You could also use the portrait photography to make a scrap book for either the child or the parents as a gift for when they get a little older, and this can be done for the duration of his or her life to make a complete photo album from every birthday and Christmas. Again, a personal and thoughtful gift that will bring a smile to any parents face!Graduations are another time when portrait photography comes into play. Everyone wants a photo of this special and proud day, especially the parents and Grandparents. These make wonderful memories and keepsakes and can be blown and hung on the wall to have pride of place where everyone will see it. Any photography professional will tell you that you should never need an excuse to have wonderful portrait photography done to hang in your house or give to family and friends as cute and personal gifts. You can then use the photos on cups, mouse mats, calendars, magnets and anything else that you can think of. These are very personal presents and can be used for any occasion, whether it is a birthday, Christmas or anniversary. The best photography professional should have great people skills, and when you are looking for someone to take photos of you or your loved ones, you should shop around for the best prices. There is no point in going to a photographer that will charge a small fortune for tiny prints of your portraits. However, it works the other way as well; you do not want to pay an amateur a small amount of money to take photos that you could have done better. You need to have a fine balance in between the two ideas, where the photographer will do the job that is required without charging a lot of money for the work. Shopping around is the best hinted that anyone could ever give you. Look online and in the phone book for different photography professionals and make a note of different prices for different sized prints and suchlike and then chooses the one that you believe will do the best job.

What Christmas Present Would Involve a Social Security Number?

  • Posted on November 19, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Well… my dad woke me up earlier this month and told me my grandpa wanted my Social Security Number… Then I asked my dad later that day what it was for and he said it’s a Christmas present.

Well, the only thing I could think of would be for a car, but I got my own car like 3 months ago. And even if I think really hard, do you even need a SSN for a car?

It’s not like he’s making a keepsake or something, haha, like those personal shirts that have quotes on them LOL but seriously, I can’t even think of what it could be. Any ideas?

I would like to start a tradition of giving my best friend’s daughter a keepsake christmas gift. She just turned one and I’m not really sure if I should go the fun route and give her gifts that she will enjoy for now or give her mementos that she will have for years to come. Any ideas?
