I, too, was looking for a template for an Easter egg to make a greeting card. I didn't think to look at my cookie cutter box, where, yes, I have one. But, I found a whole set of egg templates in different sizes (not just ellipses, but egg shapes) at rubberstamping.about.com. The website is a good source for all sorts of shapes. In fact, anyone who wants to sell these cookies at a bake sale could find ideas for pretty boxes or bag toppers. I'm wondering if you could make a more permanent template out of the side of a milk jug or some other piece of plastic, and be able to wash it easily before using it. Cathy: it sounds weird, but the plastic sheet that comes underneath bacon is a nice weight for cutting templates or stencils. Susan
