Awww .. you girls are so sweet and generous with your kind words.
YenLee so cute with humour.
Jo you inspire me to do better every time.
TQ, Syukran, Muchos gracias, merci, kamsanida, arigato .... to ALL.

The corrugated paper were cut into 4.75" square thereabout and one piece of paper gave me 24 small cards. That is rm3.90/24 so about 16c per piece which I thought was reasonable.
If I can find cheaper corrugated I will let you know Temptation.

Zalina I did notice some oily smudges on the back on the paper but not that much. Since the corrugated surface is in front I did not see smudges at all, only apparent when you turn and see the flat surface at the back.

I used Americolor Electric green for the square cookies. The edges were brushed with Americolor Gold sheen. Just dip your fine brush into the color and paint away. No other liquid added. So easy!!
I wrote 'Salam Aidilfitri' using the brown Gourmet Writer.

The all red handbag with long strap (pic #2) were brushed with Americolor Red Sheen. It certainly gave red more life and it did not take that long to dry either.

I love my new Americolor electric colors & sheen & writers ..

Just a week left before Raya. Enjoy the long break everyone.

Kak Najat,

Your work is so neat. I would be so happy to get one of your 'work' and wouldn't want to eat them!

Najat,
Nice work done. Love your creations and it's so presentable. I wonder can the cookies last long? Would love to do it for my Muslim friends.
Nice family photo too and I can see your children will be taller than you one day! Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to you and all the muslim members of MCDC.

Lovely cookies Kak Najat, as always, you rock!

Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslim friends, enjoy yourself with your loved ones!
And all other friends... Happy Holidays...

by **Najat Ahmad** on Tue Sep 15, 2009 1:55 pm

Lovely Ladies ... TQ for your kind words. I am touched ...

The cookies WILL last long provided the fondant decorations were allowed to dry properly before packing and that the plastic bags are sealed tight.

As for my small family, my DH is a 6 footer less 1 inch so you can imagine that in 2 years time I'll be the shortest of the lot when the 2nd and youngest get to be taller than me. My oldest is already taller than me ...

We are looking forward to Hari Raya and I hope everyone will have great time too with your loved ones and muslim friends.
