Woot Woot it's day 3 and your story tellers today are.... Celine Perkins – Perkins Dry Goods Patrick Lose – The Latest News from Patrick Lose Kelly Ann Richardson - Kelly Ann’s Quilting Lookie who the third person on the list is...yep it's me....how exciting is this...and now it's my turn to share with you another goodie and my fun Christmas project. So by now y'all know that I grew up in a military family, when my father retired we settled in a small town in North Carolina. The neighborhood my parents still live in was a great place to grow up, every year there would be a big Christmas party and you learned early on how to get a conversation going in a room full of strangers. The family that hosted this party would invite people from all over, people with no family in the area, people from their work, just people in general. I've never had any issues starting a conversation, and to some of you that's not a surprise, but keeping one going with strangers

Day 6---The Final Mistletoe Making & Bake Blog Hop

I have a question...do you share your cookies? do you do a cookie swap? Well check out some fun cookie swap stores with the rest of the bloggers...featuring today... Vickie Cook Eapen – Spun Sugar Quilts Melisa Morrison – Sweet Home Quilt Co. I love to share my cookies... For several years I've made platter after of platter of cookies and sent them off to work with Andrew. The years I've not been able to make a boatload of cookies leaves me feeling like something is missing from Christmas. Standing at the kitchen counter with all my ingredients laid out in front of me, mix a batch and into the fridge to chill, mix the next batch and into the fridge they go...and it goes on like this until I have several batches ready to hit the oven. I think it's so cool to come home and throw a batch into the oven...yummo! I've never done a cookie swap, but I would guess it's like a wine tasting except everyone goes home with a plate of cookies, and instead of a wine

COOKIES!!! This recipe came from my Mother-in-law and while I do an okay job with them, and they taste pretty much the same for some reason her's are better...and these Linzer Tarts go great with eggnog, so grab a mug and get to baking...almost a match made in heaven.
