A very busy week ahead for us.
Out of town for Chris (just two days), Band concert (tomorrow), PTA board meeting, MOPS meeting, Bible Club (for Ben and Nick), Santa breakfast at Ben's school (which I am working for 3 hours), ODU game, Pythian Christmas party (with Grandaddy) and last but not least...Frosty's Wonderland (where the kids bring in money to shop for gifts) all week at Ben's school.
I'm looking ahead to next week....and there are twice as many things then.
Have mercy!
Something I am really looking forward to is our neighborhood Christmas party. The wonderful Ford family (Chuck and Gerri thanks for the pot roast dinner last night) are hosting.
There's gonna be a cookie swap...and I need to find a really good recipe.
Do you have a favorite cookie recipe? One that you have made and everyone raved over it?
Put it in the comments and I will write them all down and draw the winner.
I want alot of entries. I have around 70 visiters a day... most of which are just lurkers. So delurk...and add your favorite to the mix.
Make sure it is super yummy...and not too hard to make.
You can put in entries all week (you can enter more than one)...and I will draw next Monday.
The winning recipe will recieve a "Joy" gift in the mail!
So make sure to check back in next week to see if you won...so I can get your email/address!

Sorry but if it didn't come in a pre-made roll then I don't make it.
Can't let a cookie contest pass although I'm probably DQ'ed because of being family. Inspired by your music is ....
Oreo Balls
1 regular package oreos, crushed
1 8 oz. pkg cream cheese, softened
Melted semisweet chocolate chips
Crush the oreos into tiny pieces (use a food processor or blender, if possible). Combine with the cream cheese. Shape into walnut-sized balls. Dip in melted chocolate and put on waxed paper to harden. I put a toothpick in each and put them in the freezer for a few minutes to make dipping easier. If you really want to gild the lily, put a little melted white chocolate into a zip-loc bag and drizzle on top.
Oh Beth...that sounds amazing!!!
