Thank you Gabi @Icingsugarkeks for your comments. I really love the edible fabric and it is the first time I did this. I watched this video by the talented Kate Sullivan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feICXzdIGsw). All you need is gelatin, water, glycerin and dust colors. I used gold dust and pink shimmer dust. I halved the recipe, and still was able to coat one sheet of wafer paper and still have leftover gelatin. To get the two colors, I cut the water paper in half and colored them separately. If the gelatin hardens warm it up. Have fun Gabi.

Thank you sooo much dear Zeena!! It's perfect!! I definitely want to try that too! Thank you Zeena. @Zeena

Oh I just love your "heritage" cookies dear Zeena @Zeena!! Your tree is indeed a perfect way to display your heritage. You're a woman of variety and stability. That's a hard balance to achieve but you've definitely accomplished it here. You've lived in different countries and have a solid foundation in your faith that goes with you wherever you go. I have found that to be a vital part of me as well. I just love your mosque cookie and the various types of dress that you created. The luggage cookie is perfect to depict your various homes throughout your life. These are wonderful my sweet friend ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...

Thank you very much dear Carol @Cookies Fantastique. You always have such positive and kind words. Take care and be safe.

Wow, what a wonderful entry and story! I am so impressed with how you acquired so many languages - I feel lacking in that regard, because I agree with you completely that mastery of many allows important views into other cultures.

Thank you Julia @Julia M. Usher. I find learning languages at a young age makes it a lot more easier.

Zeena this is fabulous!  It is so thoughtful and meaningful.  Your details are terrific.  It's difficult for me to pick a favorite component but I am leaning toward the dresses (though the mosque is is very impressive!)  Thank you so much for sharing this and part of yourself with us!❤️

Thank you dear Lisa @LisaF. I have to admit I liked the dress too.

So amazing!
