Check This Website Out To Inspire Your Christmas Cookie Exchange Party

We have about 3 to 4 months before Christmas, so are you getting your recipe(s) ready for your Christmas Cookie Exchange Party? Here's a website I urge you to check out. There is also a blog linked up to it. It's adozeneggs.com, check out the blog on their website. The owner's name is Laura Courtamanche. She was featured on The Food Network. I love her website and her blog. She tells you of her life in Vermont and her cookie business. Her latest post in her blog was a tour of her bakery. She also has a variety of her hand-iced sugar cookies. They are really exqusite, and beautiful. You'll get to see her work and how much detail she puts in it. This is a good website to take a look at and get inspired to really put yourself out there and be very creative and unique in your cookie baking. So keep checking back for reminders about the cookie exchange, and don't forget it will be December 13, 2008, and I will be online at 9:00 p.m. sharing my recipe, what cookies were brought and baked at the CCE, the menu and what we did at the party. Above is the direct page to A Dozen Eggs. Another page or website to check out for inspiration and help in planning your Christmas Cookie Exchange party is "Robins Christmas Cookie Exchange." Check these websites out and get inspired, and motivated to get ready for a fun and festive Christmas Cookie Exchange Party. Are you excited?!! I know I am.
Please log in and share your thoughts about your plans and party, looking forward to a fun party in December.
Happy Crafting, Crocheting, & Baking.

Lion Brand Crochet Along

Hi everyone, We have been working on a Christmas Crochet along, working on Christmas gifts. The number of gifts we're hoping to get done are 5 to 7 gifts. Well here's another Crochet Along you might be intrested in. Lion Brand is doing a Crochet Sampler Afghan. You can go to their website Lion Brand, and click on Lion Brand Notebook. It will tell you about the crochet along, and you can get information about it and when to start. You can also blog about your progress and the colors you've chosen. It's fun and exciting. Let me know how your doing as well. I've chosen the colors of different shades of pink. I already have about 4 projects started, but I'm excited about doing this. I've already started. Hope to hear from you all. When you blog onto Lion Brand website in their notebook, let them know you heard about them and the crochet along from my blog. Thanks.

Crochet Along

Hi everyone, its been a long time since we chatted. The Christmas Afghan Contest has been cancelled. Instead I came up with a better idea. We are going to have a "Crochet Along". That means everyone will be working on the same project. We get to help each other out when we run across a problem. I will be sending out the pattern for the project by e-mail or snail mail if anyone is intrested. Just leave your e-mail address on my comments and I will definitely e-mail you a copy of the pattern. The crochet along will begin August 25, 2008. There is no dead line for this project to be finished. The reward is that you will finish a project before starting on another.

Definitely check back August 24, 2008 to get the pattern or leave your e-mail address in comment. Looking forward to hearing from you all. This is going to be exciting.

Happy Crafting & Crocheting,

Treasure Ann
