podge or page?

[dracovixen.livejournal.com]

Ok, (sorry for text only, I am new to crafts), I was in the mod podge/decoupage aisle at a local craft store, and I am now left to wonder, what is the difference between the two? I saw that some kinds of mod podge or decoupage claimed to be only for fabric, while others were for everything, and then there was talk of finishes and acrylics, and another bottle that said something like leaving it for two weeks to cure...what I simply want to do is personalize some tins of homemade cookies for friends for the solstice. I'm using paper (pictures and quotes and whatnot...). Can anyone help me? Thanks!
