This Easter, egg your neighbors to show them you care. Make them these delicious sugar cookies and decorate them however you like. Then print up our new holiday lunchi's from Lunchi.org and surprise your neighbors, teachers, or friends with a sweet surprise at their door.
Each Lunchi sheet comes with three sayings to choose from. Two of them are written by me...You've been blessed and You've been egg'd. 100% of your $2 donation will benefit a children's charity listed on the site. Here is how to make the cookies. Or fill plastic eggs with some goodies to make them smile.
