Hi there Ginnie, Thanks for coming by for a visit. So glad you enjoyed this post. I loved the ‘wiggle’ fortune too. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on Lavender and Honey! I love those paper fortune cookies! I love both Asian food and decor, so these are wonderful. I might just try them today.
I wanted to make a whole Asian meal, however was unable to do so. Thankfully I was able to make some pineapple tarts popular in Malaysia and Singapore.
Hello there Rachel, so nice of you to take the time to come on over and visit. I haven’t heard of pineapple tarts before sounds very yummy. Sweet or savory? p.s. I love your blog’s name. Hope to see you again soon.
These are so fun, Barb! I’m going to try the Christmas wrapping paper one.
I thought it was such a great way to use up Christmas wrapping paper! Have fun forging your fortune.
