    Apples Malloy was such a hit at a church party. I have had requests to bring it to other things.

    Now about the spray painting tissue paper….that one still blows me away. I haven’t had an opportunity to need it. Glad you posted pictures. As they say, seeing is believing.

    Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
