SC - funny Egg Idea

[Helen]

Hi,
    I just went to the Tom Thumb and it off the display.  You used to send off for
them, now they have them in the stores.  They have a pattern in them, but if you cut
the egg open you would not see it, or cover it with almond paste.  I am glad I am
able to add something to this list.
