Top-tier recipes and entertaining ideas that never turned out like the picture. That cute flower cookie on the cover? You had to cut marshmallows with scissors. Best of luck.

If you weren't artistic enough for the Letter Art book, then you could just get the stickers. Did you ever use the stickers? Or did you save them for a "special occasion" and then forget about the book, only to find them all unused years later?

Patiently waiting for a "Where are They Now" documentary of these girls.
