Location: Arkansas | I just wanted to tell Lonely VA Barrelxr that I received my "prize" today, and it means so much! She sent me some of her GORGEOUS Christmas cookies---Lorie, you should be on these Christmas cookie baking shows I've been watching; not only pretty but so very good also. I think they're too pretty to eat, but I just couldn't help myself. . . .I even shared a bite with Sean; just ONE tho!! Things like this are another reason to be thankful for BHW and the special people that hang out here. Merry Christmas and thank you again. |

| You're so very welcome!
I sure like making these cookies. I wish they didn't take so long so I could send more! This year was exceptionally ambitious since those first 100 went in one fell swoop to Korea. I am at 375 now with another 60 or so to go to finish for the year. Those trees and snowflakes that have all the detail dots take over 30 minutes each!! |

I guess I should put my BHW name on somewhere - right? Sorry, by the time I get to the cards I'm pooped and my hands are shaking so I usually make those short and sweet and let the cookies do the talking! |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | GREAT job, Lorie ...... You are much more ambitious than I am ..... I think those of us who make "goodies" (and I ONLY do 5 trays for the neighbors) get more out of it than the recipients....It feels good to make someone's day! One of my trays this year went to a neighbor who just had his finger amputated and I loved the smile on his face when he got the cookies ..... |

Location: on the fine line between insanity and geniusness | How awesome is that?! I love this board and the congregation of great people on it! Mom and I make Christmas treats for our neighbors, the feed store, our horse shoer etc. I have issue not eating it all before we put it in the box!! This is why we do it at moms- my husband is too big to fight off!!! Y’all just put me in the Christmas spirit! |

I really studied them today, and they are sooo intricate. Lady, you are truly talented. If you get tired of your current job, you just open a bakery and let us BHW folks know when and where!! I just had to tell everyone today at work and also my family about you and how much the little unexpected things mean at this blessed time of year. . . .  |

I don't want to take the fun out of it!! I LOVE to bake! If it was a JOB I might not like it so much . .
Thank you for the compliment! Tweezers and many new decorations have made a world of difference in the complexity possible. |

My grandmother baked for the public---from children's birthday cakes to large, fancy wedding cakes. She always let my cousin draw or write or decorate on the cakes. Me? I was relegated to making the roses that popped out of the molds because I have NO artistic talent at all. And I couldn't even free hand a stick person or write "happy birthday" where you could read it. So I have the utmost respect for what you do. Wow, just wow!! |

ETA: I tracked the package and USPS says it is available for pick up, but it also says 21 days for delivery time? I sent on 12/3 so not sure I trust the available part.
