(P.S. My favorite one)
I found that site last night, right after Mr F was fumbling around the kitchen at 3 AM (believe it... we're all kinds of crazy) trying to help me find my piping tips. It was hilariously fitting. (P.S. He was already up working... I didn't wake him up for this... just to be clear, I'm not that crazy)
I realize I didn't put my giveaway up in time for many of you to be able to enter in time. I'm sorry :( Next year I'll do better.
I just wasn't sure I'd be able to pull it off until I hit a sugar high, fueled by a massive consumption of clementines, coffee, & burned caramel corn.
Then I lost my mind and stayed up until 3:30 making these...
and these...

in the wee hours of the morning, all I could see was success...

Unfortunately, the sugar wore off some time in the night (er... later morning) and I stumbled out to the kitchen when I woke up
and all I could see was this...
and this...
and this...
And the first thing out of Baby's mouth, was "Can we make cookies today?"
And I kind of wanted to cry.
But I couldn't muster it because I had the shakes from severe sugar withdrawal.
So, I called Mr F and said "We're going out to dinner, tonight."
But, I did it!
(This year we made Iced Sugar Cookies, Gingersnaps, White Chocolate Covered Peppermint JoJos, Rolo Pretzel Turtle Bites, and of course some holiday tunes and a little cloved clementine for good measure.) Recipes HERE and HERE)
And if I hadn't had that unfortunate caramel corn incident, I probably would have been done at a more reasonable time.
At least this year I had some super eager helpers, one of whom would REALLY like you to know that she did the one on the bottom NOT the one on the top.

Mrs F., I totally would have entered-but I always feel guilty-I think other people should win...so I didn't enter. I figure, we're friends already-that is gift enough! XO
Kiki,
You're the best. I really wish we lived in the same place.
I totally missed this, too. That's okay, I just realized that I was the only one to eat an entire tub of the triple ginger cookies from Trader Joe's that I was supposed to use as the crust for a cheesecake I am making tomorrow. It was the only thing I ate throughout the day along with coffee. Thankfully, I don't do crafts or I would have been right there with you, Mrs F, up until 3:30.

Oh, Kiki. You really know how to make people feel terrific. You always lift us up!
I wish we all lived in the same place, too.
Gah! I missed it too. And despite my terrible holiday dietary transgressions, I totally would have entered, because that's how I roll...not that I don't value your friendship and all, you know...I just can't pass up on sugary goodness. :)
Happy Holidays to you!
