Journey
For this challenge, I wanted to recreate the classic look of the form entries. I started by sketching out the design on paper, breaking it down into individual elements like the entities and field types.
I learned more concept using CSS and JavaScript to make the below starter HTML markup beautiful, interactive, and useful.
Next, I hope to explore more advanced CSS techniques to make the forms more dynamic, link it to a database engine.

I think you have a different description for your code. It seems you've mixed up the "Favourite snack" and "Glam my markup" challenge
Thanks so much. I wanted to try out the Cookies challenge. I guess i muddled them up along the line.
