Picked up wrapping paper for my ss gifts yesterday now to get them wrapped.....Love hearing and reading about all! praying for those who have hardships and health issues. Our weather has been beautiful and so Hard to believe it's November! Dec 7 is our Guild Party but could open earlier or the next day.....
|
Nessie, You can just send that something you baked right on to me! It sounds like a fruitcake. Am I close?
|
Well Neesie, if I were your SS, the homebaked goodies wouldn't stay fresh for months because they would be long gone by then.

You and Penni will be able to sample some of the virtual goodies, on Opening Day! I'm not saying what it is . . . at least not until I actually bake it. ;) |
I've never gotten goodies in my box . . . yet . . .

I don't post much on this swap. We have a long time to wait for opening day. You can only give so many clues, etc to do with the swap. People get upset if you don't post, others get upset by lots of posts and topics. It makes me scared to post anything.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a "virtual cookie exchange". Used to do the real kind at work - we'd bake our favorite recipe - make 1 dozen for each person in the exchange plus a copy of the recipe - then trade them on exchange day - You only had to bake one kind of cookie - but everyone went home with all different kinds of cookies and new recipes.
Maybe this is already being done on another thread - or has been done to death and i just don't know it....but since i love to collect recipes, i thought i'd see if there was interest. |
My secret pal box went ou today.
|
sounds like a plan....will look up gluten free brownie recipes.....lol

This is my third or fourth SS but I still feel like an unknown newbie. Last year I told an outrageous story. This year I brought whine and my box is singing to me to open it but I am all but invisible. Don't know what I'm doing wrong but I think I'll go back to lurking.
Bring your whine to the corner and I'll provide the glasses. Goblets or flutes? Goblets hold more, so let's go with them. |

I was trying to go get my box off today but need a bigger box. But I got wrapping supplies, a Christmas item, and my fq's today. I can put more in the box as I hit the big sale at Jackman's today (any of you near stl, GO, it runs all weekend and they have a huge selection of $1 Fat Quarters! I bought 38 FQ's, an easy angle for Bonnie's Mystery, a magazine and 5 1/2 yd pieces and still kept it under 100 bucks! :) So I will probably try and get something she collects made and send to her Saturday. She's going to be happy, as due to my bargain hunting and getting her 4 FQ's for only $4, I was able to get both of her most wanted items. But what are they? That she'll have to wait and see! |
They sound yummy, will have to try them. Thanks for sharing.

Just finished doing some stitching in the ditch - or rather stitching NEAR the ditch - on my Secret Santa-ee's gift. Sooner or later, I MUST make an appointment and get a new glasses Rx. I hope my Santa-ee will forgive my wayward stitches. :eek:

"GRINCH ALERT! GRINCH ALERT! GRINCH ALERT!GRINCH ALERT! GRINCH ALERT! GRINCH ALERT!"
Yesterday the news broadcast told of packages being stolen off people's porches. They even showed a vidoe taken by a hidden camera where a guy come up to porch, grabbed package, ran back to his car and took off. This is in Minneapolis,Mn. My package has yet to arrive but my furbabies are on the alert to announce when it gets dropped off so that I may get it safely inside before the Grinch sees it. |
OMGosh those Carrot cookies sound SOOOOOO good. My favorite cake is carrot cake.

Kariboo....please add gluten free recipe(s)...i'm always up for trying something new. Neesie....luv ya.................you too Bondslave. Dragon....you really need to practice the art of hanging up by cutting yourself off mid word...and making that loud hissing sound into your phone!!!! |

My mouth is watering!

Thinking about delivering my SS to avoid porch package thieves, wish my SS was close to here!
Guess I'll just stop posting until opening day. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings by posting too much, please forgive me. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Enjoy your virtual cookies! hugs, DJ |
