that hold lollipops. I'll do some of those. Also I'd like to find designs similar to mranderson's scrubby that is in the projects.

wow, this question has surely helped me. the grandbabies preschool has a craft fair in the fall and these ideas are GREAT!

These have been the greatest ideas. If you get some more please pass along. The Sr's are on a tight budget and have everything already. I did get the lips and heart designs for the lollipops. Cute Maureen

Thank you. Cute designs!

My first thou8ght was, something useful-no cutsy knick knacks, they have enough of those and I think everyone else had the same thought because all of the sugestions would be useful. I can add small change purses just big enough for a drivers license, credit card and some money: as most of the Seniors are computer literate how about flash drive cases; I have had several gentlemen ask me if I could make some sort of small tag to put on different keys for identifying them ie. house , red car, golf cart, etc. I just used a circle of felt and lettering but I'm sure you could do a design.

I like the idea of a sm change purse with a place for cards and money. I would like to try an ITH design if anyone knows of one that is free. LOL Look who is being cheap!Maureen

I liked the butterfly. The directions wouldn't print out fully. They are probably easier than I think. Maybe I can find a FSL one that's simpler. Thanks Maureen

Thank you. I printed out the directions for the heart lollipop holders and got the design as well. I have to use ART3. I can't use most of what I find on Cuties wrong format. Maureen
