    Well aren't you the
    Well aren't you the over-achiever? I may go on a limb here and say you are gifted! Yes, you are a gifted gift-giver. I haven't even bought mine yet. Can I get extra-credit for at least knowing the kind I want to buy?

    Sheesh - I need to stick to keeping my competitive spirit on the sports field. You girls are shopping goddesses and I can never measure up to that!!! My mother would LOOOOOVE you! Well done!

    Thanks for inspiring me to get off my rear and spread some joy to my sister in pink.

    Oh - how funny would it be if my gift is going to YOU?!?!?!

    Have a great weekend!

    Way to make the rest of us look bad!
    Geez, Melanie. LOL. Well, you lit a fire under my feet for sure. Calleen, I love your idea of the two ornaments. I'm a member of the Smithsonian museums, so my ornament will be from a museum gift shop and might have a DC or museum theme. I'm really excited about getting it.

    It is a good idea
    I like Calleens idea too. I was already thinking maybe I would do something with everyones names..little ribbons or something so you are all a part of my Christmas. I haven't decided yet.

    Ornament
    I already have mine to send and its in the box. I just have to take it to the post office and was hoping to get that done this Saturday. I sure hope my person likes the ornament. I had originally purchased it for myself because I loved it, then decided it would be for my sister in pink when this started.

    Three cheers for Chen!
    This is such an uplifting event!! Shall I annoy everyone a little more and tell you I already started my holiday baking??? I hear your groans.....but yes, it is the only way i can get it all done, starting early and freezing it till it is time to give it all away. The other day one of my son's said "Mom, if that was all i received for Christmas, it would be just fine~ your cookies are amazing". To know that someday they will remember my holiday baking in such a special way touches my heart.
    Now quit groaning and start your baking! LoL, LoL, LoLLLLLLLL! (i really love you all)

    Mmmmm Cookies!!
    Sounds like you may have to share a cookie recipe or two under the Recipe thread so that we can try to catch up to you!!!

    The cookie I make every year for Christmas can't be frozen. They are a Norweigan cookie called krumkake (pronounced Kroomkaka)and require a special iron to make one at a time. Even though they take a bit of time to make a whole batch, they are well worth it!

    That being said, I'd be open to trying something I could make ahead of time to go along with the krumkake!

    Uh Oh...
    ....what have I done?? created cookie monsters? I was thinking of starting a thread on holiday baking and sharing a recipe. Perhaps I can get to that next week. Great thought.
    Blowing you all "cookie kisses".....

    GroundHog Day
    Ground Hog Day is 2/2 and it's my birthday. The snail mail is never that slow.
    I will be shopping today for that just right special ornament for my secret sister.

    Hugs,
