Hey, you're one of us! I too belong to the "Oh no, did you see that? They used an apostrophe" or "they didn't use an apostrophe...where were they on contraction day in English class?" I notice them all...mispellings, incorrect grammar and lack of/overuse of apostrophes. It drives me nuts. It drives everyone around me nuts. It's nice to know there are more people out there like me! I too bought a big star cookie cutter and a little star cookie cutter on the advice of my mom who thought this very idea was a good one! I hate making cutout cookies but they do look great in my cookie baskets. I'm actually looking forward to making these! Deb, I always judge a restaurant by whether they spell "prosciutto" right - it's the first thing I look for. I'm astounded at the signs I see - even neon signs! - with misspelled words. And the copy-editing of books and magazines these days... well, don't get me started. Yes, I well recall 8th grade English class and Mrs. Murphy - we called her the Great Stone Face - watching us oh-so-painfully diagram sentences on the blackboard... So, tell your mom, GREAT idea. I especially like stars, too. Have fun- PJH
