I'm overwhelmed! Just minutes ago, the UPS guy delivered my Grand Prize for winning Glenna's Tackiest Gift contest. Thousands of people voted, (OK, not that many). My fond recollections of the humongous bras and panties that my grandma Bessie would send me for Christmas was the winning story! I just want to say that said undies were much bigger than my actual size at that time. If you go to Glenna's site at A Fridge Full Of Food..And Nothing To Eat, you will see all the tacky gift horror stores from the other contestants. And how they must be gnashing their teeth in frustration when they see my prize.
Here it is--my booty:
A cookbook that Glenna was going to throw away.
1 stained Wilton cake decorating bag with used coupler and two used tips.
1 half used can of red edible food coloring spray.
1 used lip cookie cutter.
1 half jar of red-food paste coloring.
1 almost empty jar of multi-colored edible glitter.
1 used copper snowflake cookie cutter.
1 small box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (already opened and partially eaten).
2 Celestial Seasonings Mandarin Orange teabags .
Is this for decorating food........or other things?
Thank you to everyone who voted for me. Thank you to Glenna for thinking of this great contest. I'm...just ...so ......touched.
Oh my doesn't everyone have a few bags of "fruity" tea bags lurking around in cabinets? I'll have to read your entry. The horrifying thing is that as I age I'm starting to find stuff in my drawers looking much like those granny panties/bras. How did they get there?

Oh, your story was too funny. Everyone received the same size? Grandma, what were you thinking? Congrats on the loot!

Hang on to that cookbook! I've used it for years -- I think it's great for appetizers.

HAR! I think it might be used (or has been used?) for other things as well, and the glitter.. well..yeah..it will stick.
(Reminder to self: send Sher some soap)
Loved the contest, adore the prize!

That's quite a haul, Congrats Sher! Knowing you, you'll take all that assorted stuff and make something wonderful out of it. You're like Macgyver in the kitchen. Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!
Love from VA
