We invited all of the sisters in from Primary and Young Women, so we wanted to hand out something

extra special.  We made muffins, and then put these bookmarks in to decorate the muffins.  We decided on no frosting- so the bookmarks could be saved easily.

We then decorated a rolling cart from the kitchen with a cute tablecloth, and arranged the muffins on 3 tier muffin stands with little chocolates also.  

Tip:  Bake muffins in non-stick pan, and place in the liner after they have been baked.
