Claudia, Thanks so much for the pics and I'm glad you're enjoying the cookie scoop. Ha ha, funny story about the butter.
I think I have your cold. Ugh! Started the other night, slight fever, darn cough and headache. Got some Delsym Night Time and it worked like a charm for the most annoying cough. Anyway, I hope everyone is well and prepared for all the blessings of Christmas.

I'm sorry to hear about those that are sick (Tex), (?). Hopefully you'll be back at 100% shortly.
This is a busy time for everyone, but I'm anxiously awaiting to see Arlene's MIA box, LOL! I'll be checking in every day to see the latest.
Thanks to everyone for making this such fun event. I think we really outdo ourselves and have a good time doing it! I really enjoyed my limited participation in the whole thing, and loved seeing what other people did. What a wonderful tradition for our Board Group!

Sorry, I'm still here. I have been getting the house ready because Sarah and the kids are coming this way. They are bringing the older Irish Setter so I'm trying to get things ready. So, I'm around even if you don't see me posting right now.

A Christmas Miracle has just happened, LOL .. I almost fainted when I got home from lunch about 10 minutes ago and this was on our doorstep. (I have cropped out addresses etc).
Pinch me, I thought, I must be hallucinating .... but no .. it seems that Canada Post delivers on Sundays during the run up to Christmas.
YAY!!!!!
I want to say a big thank you to Lori (Prettysillybaubles!) who was my Secret Santa.
The box was jam packed full of goodies:
Starbucks coffee and a mug, I love Starbucks Coffee!!!
A very beautiful Christmas card with a lovely personal note from Lori. Some chocolates too!
Catnip mice for the 3 beastie boys, and socks for me!
Local magazine to read while enjoying coffee, eating chocolate and wearing hotsox. Perfect!
But most special of all .... Lori noted my husband's *hint" for Scotch! ...so thoughtful!!!!
And of course, because this would not be a joolie SS without a jool, a very sweet Christmas brooch too.
Many thanks again Lori for being such a wonderful Secret Santa. Not only that, you restored my faith in Canada Post. Whooohooo!!!
