Seasonal and Holiday Recipe Swap

[VickiV]

You are invited to join the Seasonal and Holiday Recipe Swap hosted by VickiV and pretty in tink. The theme is Fall and Winter recipes, as well as holidays that fall in this time frame, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day. We have a category for Cookie Exchange recipes, since they are so popular this time of year. The Kids Recipe Group will be either their favorite or something they like to make. We can add more groups as they fill. If you don't know which recipe you want to do yet, please post as soon as you can.

REQUIREMENTS: Make 6 for each group. Completed recipes must be 8 ½” x 5 ½”. Staples sells the binders and the plastic sheet protectors for this size. Use cardstock and layer at least once plus one embellishment. You can embellish any way you choose, but be C-R-E-A-T-I-V-E!!! Please check in every 2 weeks.

SENDING & RECEIVING: I’ve added a couple weeks to the due date listed on the swap calendar. Mail date is no later than Friday, September 19, 2008. Mail all 6 copies of the recipe you do. You will get one of yours back. These are due Friday, September 26, 2008. Please ship your package on time so that we can get your recipes returned promptly. We will mail out all swaps the next week so that you will have them in time to use for Fall.

Label your recipes with your Dis name, real name, category and group number. Put your recipes in a plastic bag larger than the recipes. Individual zip bags will leave lines on the recipes if they are too small. One of us will PM you the shipping address when you are ready to mail them. Unless you are using a priority envelope or box for return shipping, include an envelope and postage for the same amount for return shipping (stamps, cash, or check). Delivery Confirmation is 65 cents. Please don’t send metered or click-it/ship-it postage – some hostesses have had issues with these.

Please let me know if I’ve forgotten anything.

[Disney_rider]

one in each group please I'm BACK!!!!

 

[MazdaUK]

One for each for me please...not that I've got any room left in my books, I need another one (or two) as mine are all even more overfilled than I would be if I cooked every recipe DS(8) (AKA Kicky) wants to do Patrick Rock Stars (from Spongebob, not St Patricks day ) for the kids recipes, don't know what mine will be yet.

 

[believen]

I'd like one in each group, except the kid's recipe (but I am curious about Kicky's rock star recipe!) I'm going to an all day crop- and I'm late. I'll post my recipe choices tomorrow.
Thanks,V

 

[MazdaUK]

He got it out of his Spongebob comic You make a rock cake recipe, roll it and cut star shapes. Then once its baked and cool you ice with pink icing and make faces with liquorice allsorts (or more icing!). We're going to try it out in the holidays once he finishes school - only 4 more days!

 

[rlovew]

I would like to join in the cookie exchange and holiday recipes but I am not home and all my books are packed so I have no idea yet what I will do.

Rebecca

 

[MazdaUK]

I've got my recipes Holiday recipe - -Christmas Pie, winter recipe - beef with red wine and cranberries, cookie recipe - Christmas tree Cookies (cookies you can put on the tree - they can be any shape you like )

 

[lewdyan1]

When do signs up for this close?

 

[VickiV]

We will consider this closed Tuesday night, 7/21 at 9 p.m. Even if I don't officially close it, it will be closed. pretty in tink and I have something to deal with that takes precedence over anything else right now. I will probably not have access to a computer to officially close it and hers is not always working right now. I hope to be back sometime next week.

If no one else signs up, everyone can make the number of copies for the people that are listed. If there are more, they can add that amount to their group. I'm sorry to have to leave things like this.

VickiV

 

[MazdaUK]

If you don't get any more do you want to make one big cookie exchange group? Or merge with the kids recipes? I'm Ok with either.

 

[rlovew]

Since our hostesses have more pressing matters at the moment we should consider this closed. If you have any questions about things pm me. I can join the ki8ds group to make it 3 instead of just 2. I won't worry about the 2nd cookie exchange since it our hostesses in that group sofinal numbers for everyone:

Cookies: 6
Fall/Winter: 5
Holiday: 6
Kids: 4

Post the name of your recipe as you know it so we can make sure we don't duplicate them. If things are still crazy with our hostesses when it is ime to turn things in we will see what they want us to do.

Rebecca

 

[MazdaUK]

Mine are in post 7 plus Patrick Rock stars for the kids group

 

[lewdyan1]

Ladies, until Vicki and pretty tink get back, if you need anything, plesae let me know. I will do anything I can as I am usually in these swaps ( I just missed the deadline this time).

 

[MazdaUK]

Unless anyone has started could we squeeze you into the fall/winter group, as there are only 5 in there? And plenty of space in the kids rcipes! Not tht I collect recipes or anything, you know

 

[rlovew]

Vicki

 

[MazdaUK]

Are you in Lewdyan? I'm going to start these this week.

 

[Disney_rider]

My Word just took a crap on my laptop so i have to purchase a new one.
Then I'll be on my way.

 

[lewdyan1]

You guys are awesome! I didn't see this until now. Thanks for including me. I am not sure what I will be doing, but I know my DD would love to be included in the kids swap. We will get the cookbook out tonight and find something fun. How many are in this? Since I live in Miami, I can't figure out what would be a Fall Winter recipe. If someone has a suggestion, I might tyr it...otherwise, I will stick with the kids. If you can get back to me today, I will decide by tonight.

If you tell me the totals I will up date the front page.
