Looks like this could be fun-

I started thinking that it might be fun to work my way through a cookbook next year, something simple-ish, like a baking book where even the worst outcome may still be edible. Then again, maybe I should work my way through a book I already have, like one for quick dinners from Southern Living. Anyhow, looking at Amazon I found Cakes, Cupcakes, and Cheesecakes from the Williams-Sonoma collection and now I'm thinking that might be fun too.

Hm.

Oh, and crepe paper poinsettias look like a great way to get the look without worrying about the poisonous side effects.
