May I have your attention please:

I am thinking about giving up...........my cookie strike!!


Something got me thinking about Christmas cookies the other day and last year I did a Cookie Exchange and started thinking about dates for this year's. I thought, well then, I can't be on strike. I don't mind making them, I love it actually but I just cannot make them like people make them here. I can't do the Royal thing. At this point I don't know if I ever will improve and when I see new people who do such great work and say it stinks, well that makes me feel worse.


Therefore, in lieu of the pending Christmas season (and the two new cookie recipes I want to try), I herefore relinquish my cookie banner strike.....woe is me


Zamode: 0
Cookies done in Royal/Cake_Princess: 1

First of all your emoticons are soooo cute!! Secondly, you can do it!!!! Just relax and have fun. Good luck with your Christmas ideas.

YAYAYAYAY!!!! Can't wait to see some, Zamode! Woohoo!

You can do it!!!!! Go for it!

Next, where did you get those cute little emoticons!!!!!!! LOL

Great to hear Zamode! Will you join us for beach cookies for the month of July? Join the fun!

Zamode--

I knew you would cave!

Let me know about those 2 new cookie recipes, I do a cookie exchange every year. Already scouring recipes for mine.

I have been defeated by inanimate objects....... I feel like salmon swimming up the stream.....


You gals are too kind. I have a few spots I go for smilies. I saw that flag waving fellow and knew I'd be using him sooner or later.....*sigh*......


Samsgranny I don't think I will be doing the beach theme, I might not have time this month but we'll see. I have no cookie sheets right now.



Mac I have to get my cookie sheets back from my SIL before I can test but I will let you know. I put the roses she wanted for the wedding she catered on the cookie sheets. I would be trying those out instead of the chocolate No-Fails. I like the NF but am looking for something richer in flavor. They are both chocolate cut out. If they are winners, I am certainly going to share.



Be easy on me ladies whenever my first posting comes out of decorated cookies! Little buggers!!(the cookies, that is)

As far as the Cookie Exchange goes, I haven't even given a thought to what kind. Last year, for our first one, my mother and I made about 4 kinds each and the general rule of thumb is one kind per person but in large quantities--so I've read, anyhoo. There won't be many decorated cookies, I'll do the NF's or whatever I find before then, something cut out to decorate but mostly I can go back to being a fairly happy cookie baker by doing Christmas cookies. I love baking at Christmas and as many as I can handle. One year (many years ago) I did 17 different kinds. I stick with three old favorites then add new ones.

Zamode- You CRACK ME UP!! I am glad you gave in.

I love your signature.

Oh that's harsh C_P!! And where are your cookies for June & July, woman?! Hhmmmmm????



*crickets*







Zam --> <--C_P

yeah!!

I'm glad you're not on strike anymore!!

My plan worked then! I passed the torch!
