This past Tuesday was my first Cookie Exchange Party! I was so excited to be invited! We had a fun group of women there and the cookies all turned out great!
I drove out with my friend Vivian. We don't get to spend a lot of time together, so this in itself was much fun. We made it our to Irvine to meet the women. The house was decorated and so pretty! We had seven women who brought different types of cookies. We had to follow strict baking rules and dress up.
I was confused on the "dress-up" rule and thought that she wanted nicer attire. When one friend came in festive pj's I was quite jealous! I had been so exhausted that day and did NOT feel like dressing up! The rule was to be festive! I was so disappointed that I wasn't in my comfy pajamas! So, she won the "Festive Award" by unanimous vote! You know what I'll be wearing next year....
We all ate some appetizers and talked about our cookies. I made gingerbread men and snowmen. Recipe: http://glennjamiecharlesmaryn.blogspot.com/2008/01/gingerbread-recipe.html
Then we exchanged our cookies and our recipes. We all sampled each others cookies and had a vote on which cookie won. I won! My gingerbread cookies won! I was so surprised and excited! I got a beautiful apron as a prize, made by the hostess herself!
It was a great night and I can't wait for next year!

I've always wanted to do one of these but I have friends that are a bit too healthy (and boring). I'm so happy you won!
By the way, you look as beautiful as ever.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas.
How fun! I was so bummed to have missed it. Dealing with sick kids and too much sewing left to do...
Well, I'm sure next year you will win the Festive Award, but you looked beautiful this year and I looked like a Christmas freak show!
You do look so beautiful! I'm glad it was so fun! Good job on the cookie making!
What a fun activity! And darling apron, by the way. Congrats on the win...I'll have to check out that recipe.
Sounds like my kind of party!
