Marzipan is not something we eat in Canada and I'd be hard pressed to find any in a grocery store so I liked reading of the ingredients and your recipe.<br />We usually display our Christmas cards but our home is small without the room so I keep mine in a basket and like you, take them out later to enjoy when I have the time.<br />The cards for Amy's exchange have been wonderful to see, homemade ones are my favourite.<br />Merry Christmas.Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348050486280502480.post-10276038159843709192015-12-23T22:02:13.703+00:002015-12-23T22:02:13.703+00:00So do I Tracy Snd you are very welcome.
