The UKY Cookie Exchange!
« on: December 07, 2007, 04:34:57 PM »
OK, this is the list of people I have who I think want to participate. I'm really sorry, but I've had to keep it to UK-based people. If I've missed you or got it wrong - let me know!!!  :D

First, the list:

Mrs Robinson
Terriponeale
By the Sea
Yael
Pkessler
Hauntedmansion
Bad Munkee
Lindyloo
Pittpanther
Niku2
Elynor
Hopster
Azroomie
Balmerhon

As far as I am concerned, cookies can be sent anytime between now and New Year.

I'm going to PM the list above and as soon as I have confirmation, I will assign you 2 other names. What I intend to do is make cookies that make about 3 dozen. So I keep 12 and send the other 24 to my exchange buddies. I, in turn, will get 2 kinds from people who have been assigned my name. Make sense?

Including the recipe is a nice option. Or you can post it here in the official thread. Also, candy such as fudge or whatever is not a problem

If for some reason you have a total aversion to coconut or pecans or something, please let me know so I can pass that on.

Please either post here or PM me if you are really intending to take place or if you aren't on the list. I'll also PM people about it.

Thanks!

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

I don't know if I should wait for an email or confirm on here.  So I'll confirm.

OK, the PM has been sent to those who have not replied here yet. :)

The deadline for replies is 12 December. I will assign names then. In the meantime, please PM me your name and address and any real dislikes you may have.

As for the best way to post them, I'd suggest either a very well padded envelope (bubble wrap, bubble wrap, bubble wrap!), a very inexpensive plastic/tupperware type container, or just a regular old cardboard box.

:D
