There were often times during Buddy's deployments where I wanted to include something special, but either the current craft I was working on was not completed, or I had no crafts in the making at all. Either way, hand decorated cookie tins always added a bit of pizazz to an otherwise hum-drum care package. In addition, this type of project can be used over and over again. Just two months ago, I decorated some containers for cookies to include in a birthday care package to my son. This month, I am using a Halloween theme for the tin of cookies that I am getting ready to send off.
