I'll be sending mine in this week. I did this last year and it was great fun. The recipes and cards you get in return are "fabulous, baby"!

[MomofCam]

Oh, my goodness ... I just read this thread and I am excited all over again!!! 12 more days??!! I don't think I can stand it ... I may just have to send in another one

[gloomy_liv]

ooh, I almost forgot about this (my brain isn't working at the moment...lol). I'll get working on this now!

[April Showers]

Oh, my daughter will be home, I'm going to have to make her come to her very first chat. She loves baking cookies too.

I just sent round 3 of recipe card confirmations -- more great ones!

I've had a question in several of the emails that I figured I should probably answer here --
do you need to include a supply/product list? The answer is no...after the whole swap is over, though, everyone is encourage to post their card in the gallery and that would be the best place for you to list your supplies.

Looking foward to seeing more!

[Ngaire]

Oh wow with everyone's little bits of info here and there, this sure does look as if its gonna be a wonderful wonderful swop. I just counted up last years recipes and there were 57, so come on girls lets see if we can beat that. I have sent in two as well, they weren't cookie recipes they were cake recipes! One is entertaining the other is delicious!!!!

[Mindy]

I had so much fun making the first card, that I made a second one & just sent it. I can't wait to get all of these good recipes!

[A-dab-adu]

Once we can download and print off these cards:
I'm curious how have you veterans displayed/used them?

Recipe Card File?
Small Brag Bk?
Notebook of some type?
Other????

Just looking for ideas!

I got lucky last year and found a really nice photo album with 4x6" slots at the Dollar Tree. It wasn't their usual product or brand -- I think it was something they must have bought out from some company, dirt cheap. Anyway, it is very sturdy, well constructed, I love it. I had all my recipe cards printed just like you do photos through walmart.

For me, it's really not just about the recipes (they are a nice perk though!), but I love having a little "part" of so many of the great members of this site. Each card really is a unique piece of artwork. I love looking at it.

I just found that the Container store has great clear 4x6 recipe boxes.. you can go online and get em.

Oooh, I just found this thread while browsing around Scrapgirls and I am so happy I did! Sounds like lots of fun, I will start searching for recipes.

[ChristinaP]

I sent mine!! Can't wait to see what everyone came up with!

[Ngaire]

I'm like Brandie, I just love everybodys art work. Alot of the recipes for me we don't have the ingredients here in NZ but i'm sure if i did some homework would be able to find a subsitutes. I have made a box that fits the cards and it will fit this years as well. I have shown lots of people and they are so impressed. Its gonna be good to add more to them.

[PatBowman]

Oh my gosh - I can't believe I missed this thread!!! I'm so excited for this - it was a BLAST last year! Thanks for hosting this Brandie!

[MichaelsMomJo]

Geez, I better get to work on mine. Dec. 12 is coming fast!

[CRS]

I have my recipe cards in a little 4X6 album I keep right with my other recipe books. I love looking through it just to see the beautiful cards. I can't wait for the chat, it's going to be so much fun!

[mbc72]

Just sent mine in (may send in another one!), can't wait for those yummy recipes, so keep submitting to Brandie!

[Sherry Lynn]

I can't believe it I only started scrappin' last week, thought I'd kind of come here learn a few things and get those tons of boxes of pictures into books. But, I came to the message boards and saw how much fun everyone is having and I want to play too ! Yesterday (or should I say last night - just in time to beat the deadline) I uploaded my first LO for the Monday Gift Reaction challenge . I definitely have to be in on the cookie recipe exchange, what would people say if the owner of Pie Heaven Bakery didn't participate in a recipe exchange? I'm thinking about the 12 Days Of Christmas challenge but I'm not quite sure I have enough experience yet - also, do you need to use Microsoft Word to track your challenges or is wordpad ok?

You all are true inspirations! Thank You

Well, then -- it would be a shame to the highest degree is you didn't participate!!! Now you have to do it!

[Sherry Lynn]

Yeah, but the only thing is my customers usually ask for the same old thing i.e. chocolate chip, peanut butter with the kisses on top --- but I think I have found one that was a hit for my last year's cookie platters.

[Sherry Lynn]

I bet everyone will be glad when I have learned a few things and don't have to ask silly questions (time after time) But... here goes how do I make the recipe card? Sorry to be such a pain in the buttinski.

[KimS]

I sent mine. The card is simple... but the cookie is GOOD!!! I can't wait to get the others.

You work it like you do your layout. Cept you start with a 4x6 image. You can do a search in the gallery for "Recipe" and see some that have been done. You could do things like have a picture, or not.... have embellisments or not... you could put down a back ground, add text and leave it.... its all up to you!!! Do the search though, you'll see some good ideas.

Hi,

I missed this in years past but..... not this year!!!!!! Brandie, you should be receiving my email with card in attachment ... Question what file size should it be? hope the one I sent is not too big for the email system...

I had the best time looking at all my old recipes some from Grandma, some my Mom's and It was a very nice two days remembering them. --- Thank You !

[Shari PV Mom]

I just sent mine in for Pecan Butter Balls! MMMMM Good! I think I might do our other Holiday favorite too ... Pepper Nuts. (Pepper in a cookie recipe you ask? Well, yes - white pepper and it's really yummy! You'd be quite surprised!) I'll go get working on it!!!

[Sherry Lynn]

Thanks for your help Angela

[Ngaire]

Oh Shari that sounds interesting pepper in cookies! Oh yes do put that one in!!! Oh and Pecan Butter Balls sounds rather delicious!!! Oh I can't wait to get these recipes!!! 7 days to go!!

[Jane in N.Z]

Hi Brandie. Thanks for this it does sound like fun and so nice to see what are other peoples favourites. Will send mine in this year.
