Chrissy's Lemon Curd-YUMMY!

Chrissy makes YUMMY lemon curd!!!
I baked gingerbread muffins this morning, just to use as a vehicle,
to eat the beautiful lemon curd you gave me this week.
YUM, dear friend!! Thanks a Zillion!

And, another big Thanks for hosting this month's meeting!
Your home looked so pretty & full of festive cheer~
What a fabulous Hostess you are~

My cookies are already gone...
we ate them morning, noon, & night all week long.
I just Love being a part of "Good Things"!

Thanks for the cookies and the goodies!!!

Hey everyone! I had such a good time at the exchange. Chrissy, your house was so beautiful and festive and it was so nice to have some good yummy appetizers. Thanks for all your hard work and for getting us in the spirit of christmas. The cookies were fun to taste and enjoy together. The gift exchange was good too. Looks like most of us went home with what we wanted too. All the goodies from everyone were so fun to open. Thanks for all the fun things. I shared my cookies today with my parents and they enjoyed seeing the packaging and sitting down for a cup of tea. Mom says hello to everyone too. Sydnee has a special tea party planned with me tomarrow after school if she gets her homework done. She's been looking forward to the ladies cookies and using her tea party dished again. Merry Christmas to all!!! I am thankful to all of you for your friendship andall the laughs. Lori

Cookie amount adjustment

Hello, ladies!
I just got a call from my mom, and she is not going to be able to come to the cookie exchange, so she said not to worry about making her portion. There have been a lot of dramas with her house recently, the latest one being that the heater just went out, and they've got to get it fixed tomorrow. (I can attest that her house can get mighty chilly!)
She is very depressed at not getting to come, and believe me, I tried to figure out a way to make it work, but no go. She says she will miss everyone and wishes you all a Merry Christmas!

Cookie Exchange Time!!! Anyone???

Have you got your recipe books out Girls?
Made the big decision yet?
Fired up your ovens?
Let's get BAKING!!!!!
Only 4 days to go... so get your gifts wrapped...
Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday...

Look at my monkeys!

We went to the park on Saturday to take some pictures. I am so excited about these that I felt the need to share. Enjoy!

It's My First Time

Be gentle with me! I hope this works! Loved the pictures and captions Carey and yes, be very afraid because the games are back and they are required. Hint: brush up on your Christmas songs and a famous Christmas story.You will play and you will have fun and that's an order! Looks like five and a half dozen cookies or six cookies each for 9 ladies and one dozen to share for a total of 66 cookies. This includes our Christmas buddy Virginia. I will have some savory snacks to ward off diabetic comas. And bring your $20 gift for the infamous exchange. Well, I must be tired beacuse I spelled just about every word in the last sentence wrong!! That teacher breakfast was way too early. I had a great time last night and sorry I had to leave early. Thank you Carolyn and Lori. You make a great team! And Happy Thanksgiving ladies. I am very thankful for each of you. Love, Chrissy
