    1. I emailed you back as soon as you posted it. Did you get it? I filled it out via the email form and it said it sent. Then I did the online version.

      Yeah. I totally agree, haha. I would love for someone to make them for me though :]

  2. Cookies look amazing but too much work whereas the individual dips is something I could rustle up.Rx

    1. Agreed! I think if you just made the pinatas one color and then iced them fun stripes it may be easier.

      Hope you had fun dancing the night away...and got some Mexican food! Thank you :]
