Happy decorating! As Snowflake Bentley said, "Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated. When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind." As cookies are meant to be eaten, snowflakes are destined to melt. However, their fleeting beauty offers endless inspiration for creative expression.
