Well, I finally found time to open my packages last night, and found all kinds of wonderful things! Thank you Beanie and Meriweather!!
Meriweather sent several things, including copper cookie cutters and no less than 5 cookie recipes! Looks like I will be doing some baking very soon to try them out.
Beanie sent all the things to make sugar cookies, including a package of cookie mix! No there are no excuses.....she also included her signature, a Beanie bear. I read the tag to see what the story was behind this particular bear. Talk about coincidence.....
This particular Beanie is a bear in remembrance of children who we have lost to AIDS. Well, I work in the AIDS Institute of the New York State Dept of Health. We have just created a new health care plan for needy adults and children who have HIV and AIDS. This is the first program of its kind in the country. So now my new Ariel bear is sitting on my desk at work right where she belongs.
Thanks to both of you for the lovely packages and nice thoughts....
