Stress Awareness Month - is only in April? Geez when you're decorating cookies or cakes I thought it was every month!!

Well at Gilda's Club they want Spring Flowers for our April class. Last year we did April Showers bring May flowers but they want the flowers early this year...
Oh, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Melvira, I just noticed your new signature! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!
How about a regal/royalty theme?
April 1st = April Fools Day = Court Jester = Royalty
Too far fetched??
Ooooh BarbaraK... that's using your noggin!! I LOVE that idea. Well, if we can't do the lover's theme, it's the second best so far! hahaha!
I asked my husband to tell me what his first thought was when I said 'April' (trying to get a new idea for cookie club).
He said 'rain and floods'
I'm not too sure I could make cookies about rain and floods... umbrellas?..Noah's ark?.. house cookies half-submerged in a bowl of blue frosting?..
Can you tell it's been raining here?
