Five Friday Pin Up And The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap

Another weekend is here, thank goodness.  This felt like such a long week so I am so glad the weekend is here. I delivered my last batch of cookies for Breast Cancer today and the sale is done.   Full wrap up to follow.   I am hoping to finally get some clean up down around my house and start to make my wish list for baking over the next two months.   I have lots of plans in my head so the trick is to get them down on paper and see what is feasible.   We have two dinner plans this weekend and I need to make some dessert for one of them.   I am really excited about this dessert so stay tuned.

I have also signed up for the:

I am really excited about this.  Julie from The Little Kitchen and Lindsay from Love and Olive Oil are organizing this massive cookie swap.   Everyone who signs up will get cookies from 3 bloggers and you will  have to mail your cookies to 3 different bloggers.   Than everyone will post their recipes and share them on their blog.    I think this is very cool.   There are over 450 people signed up.   It's exciting,  up until the day of arrival you have no idea what cookies you may receive.   I have to start thinking about what I would like to make, there are so many possibilities.
