Cookie exchange?

how elaborate are you thinking Sally? if I could just make my one or two of my favorite cookies or sweet bread I would be up for that. I would not be able to send an assortment of items. Also, I have been sending care packages this semester and the postage on a box of cookies is going to be at least $5. Just so everyone knows what they are getting into....

I'll moderate so it will be more like a traditional shebang than the (absolutely fantastic) postcard shebang going down right now.
if you are up to the task, I am in. and yes, the postcards shebang is fantastic. I think we should all switch up and send out another round. (I may send out another round anyway for job security)
i will try a cookie exchange. i like getting stuff in the mail. i may also send out more postcards. i got a big blue bear photo on my office wall now as a result
i don't have an oven and i don't think cookies would make it all the way over the ocean, but this sounds like a great idea.
No cookies allowed through customs.
Wish I knew, Gail. I mailed all three at the same time. Gretchen, who lives due south of me, got hers promptly. Jackie, who is on the west coast, apparently hasn't gotten hers yet. Yours, I imagine, is on a U. S. Postal Service slow boat to China and should arrive sometime around Valentine's Day.If it's any consolation, I haven't gotten the card you sent yet, either.
Sweet a ♥ valentine's card. Thanks Jonathan you shouldn't have. I'll mark it in the calender and look for it. :)
I don't know why some post cards take so long to arrive and I work at the USPS. I mailed mine on Tuesday and only Kevin's and my daughter's arrived so far. May you all receive postcards today!
I love the idea of a cookie exchange, but the kind I make are either too fragile or get stale too fast to work. Have fun, you guys!
(I got Jonathan's postcard yesterday, and Gail's, yay!)
This would not work well with my diet, ohhhh but I LOOOVE cookies. I love making 'em, too. *musters up the will to say "no!!!"*
sally - i will exchange cookies with you
me too, Sally.
Alright...okay...I'll do it. The lure of cookies is too tempting for me to resist. But I warn you now, you may end up with mangled cookie pieces and not whole cookies...I used to send the hubs cookies when he was overseas and they never fared very well. Of course they were still tasty so that kind of made up for it :p
Wrap them separately in plastic wrap and put them in a tin with no space for them to move around.
You have done this before Larry?
I did that Larry, I swear I did. But the overseas mail people seemed to enjoy kicking the packages around or something...I've never had good luck with UPS. The packages I sent through USPS fared far better though. But I never sent cookies in those packages for some reason.
Put Larry's name on the list Sally.
I don't bake anymore. I'm just the shipping consultant.
Why don't you bake anymore, Larry?
I enjoy cooking more, and have a spouse who puts my baking skills to shame.
Sooo...are we gonna exchange some cookies?
Mod
No gingerbread men, though.
I thought you weren't exchanging cookies with us Larry...did you change your mind? And I'm sending gingerbread men...so....neener neener!
Well that's just not fair, I can hardly come up with a good come back if I have no head!
Larry doesn't like to play fair.
Oh good, then I bake myself a new head and attach it with some frosting. Then have my cat forcibly remove your frosting and gumdrop buttons with her abrasive tongue!
I think we'd need to just send a few cookies to a few people each, maybe the weekend after Tgiving or the first weekend of December. I'd love to receive some good treats, and I'd love to share mine.
