I am so glad I joined the swap this year.
Lots of great recipes and a few laughs too.

Some of you ladies did such a great job on your layouts they are so pretty.

So do we swap any other recipes?

[trishy]

I agree fully! Michelle yours had me ROFL.

There are so many yummy looking recipes, but I have to admit that the ones with peanut butter and the Russian Tea cakes really got my attention. I am going to a friends to make cookies on Tuesday, so I will be taking these with me and trying a few.

Thank you for the yummy treats!

[Vaughnde]

I'll download mine in the morning! But YES we do exchange recipes...check out the recipe gallery and then email April for the next exchange

[bikeneday]

This was great. I don't know which I enjoyed more - the variety of cookies or the wonderfully scrapped backgrounds. My recipe file will never be the same. Thanks for sharing, I am ready to get to baking in the morning.

[sheilaj]

I just got the links this morning (I am in England) amazed at the number of files....how many recipes are there please?

[brandiev]

I believe there was just about 75 cards

[Becca]

Oh my - these cookie recipes are just incredible!!!! I only opened one zipped file so far, but WOW!!! Thank you to everyone who participated!

And a huge, huge thank you to Brandie for pulling this all together! I can't wait to print these gems!

[Becca]

Yes, I'm posting again -

Shelbi, I almost spit out my coffee at your "recipe", and risked waking my whole house when I laughed out loud! OMG...that was great!

And our dear Valerie, hmmmm, not sure I'll be trying your cookies, but that would make a great little stocking stuffer for someone.

[sheilaj]

have only looked at mine in windows viewer o a small screen....looks like I missed a couple of things?

[bjc]

the recipes are great and the card are just "yummy" to look at.... great job everyone....i look forward to printing them out and making a few of them soon

and shelbi...just wondering......was that an "old family recipe" passed down from generation to generation? LOL

[scrappinchar]

Woohoo!!! 76 all together. Including your own.

You gals made some BEAUTIFUL cards and there are awesome recipes!
This is fantastic!!!
Michelle...I might actually be trying yours after breakfast with the boys! lol
Don't think I want to try Valerie's though. Hmmmmm. lol

Thanks so much ladies!!!

[CindyB]

Oh BOO! I missed it...I have been MIA for a little while and was hoping to participate...I love this one and use MANY of my recipes from previous years.
Oh well...next year then...

[Christina]

Great job everyone! So glad that I decide to jump in on this! Thanks to each of you!
: )

[Mindy]

I just downloaded & looked at all of the yummy recipes and all that I can say is - oh, my goodness!!! So many delicious looking recipes and they are all gorgeous! It's going to be tough to decide which recipe to try first.

Shelbi - I'll give your recipe to my dd to make on her college break - will be the perfect recipe for her!
V - laughed so hard on that about woke up the rest of my family. May have to share that recipe with my sis because she'll appreciate it!

Thanks everyone for the wonderful recipes!

[alg35536]

Everything looks sooo good. I can't wait to try some of them.

I love the Christmas tree cookies, they are the first one on my list to make

[CRS]

They all look so yummy and beautiful. My mother and I have been in full cookie mode the last few days, and I think I'll be adding to our list of cookies to make!

[Ngaire]

The little recipes cards look like little masterpieces!!! Thanks everyone for doing all those great cards.

LOL
Well I had posted in the other thread that I hoped you ladies had a good sense of humor!!
I am really not domestic at all. But I am glad to have some many new recipes, some of them even looked like something I could do LOL.

[Smiles]

It's fun just to see the cards and read the recipes.
They are fabulous.
What eye candy! They're all beautiful

[no_idea]

I amazed at the recipes and especially the cards, all are works of art. This will be my favourite Christmas present this year, and I and making sure I participate again next year!

Thank you all for sharing your recipes, and Brandie for your time to make this a huge, yummy success!

Love you all!

[mbc72]

Everyone did such a beautiful job on their cards! There are definitely too many to make for Christmas, I will be baking all year long!

[PBarnes]

The cards are all soooo beautiful and the recipes look so yummy. Laurel, the P.B. Munchies is one of my favorite cookies and I somehow lost my recipe. I'm so glad that you did that one!

Last year, I sent the recipe cards to Walgreens for printing and I found that you lose a little bit around all the edges. I'm hoping that some that have text out to the edges come out ok. There are only a few. I may lose some names though. That might be something to remind people about in the instructions for next year.

Great job everybody!! Can't wait to try some of them.

[scrappinchar]

I'm scared about losing the edges, too.
It happened on my own, so I moved things more inward before submitting.

I might drag them onto 8.5 x 11 pages and print and cut. But, I'd only get, what, 3 to a page?
Hmmm. Unless I print with white borders on my 4x6 papers.
Decisions, decisions. lol

Thanks for the tip, Pat. I will try to remember that for next year.

Finally unzipped mine and looked at them all. Valerie's cracked me up. Doubt I'll be doing that one anytime soon either!

Charlene you can only get 2 recipes to a 8.5x11 page so you'd be better off printing them on the 4x6 with borders which is what I am gonna do. I'll definetly need more ink!

[scrappinchar]

Well, if I turn 2 of them sideways and keep one horizontal, I can get 3 on the sheet.
I printed one sheet that way. They look great...but I don't know if I want to do that with ALL of them. lol
Still deciding...

[ArizonaAngel]

I just posted my Cookie Recipe Card in the Recipe Swap Gallery. If we all post our recipes there then we can leave some love for all the great cards. Here's the link to mine Oatmeal Gumdrop Cookies

[Christina]

Just got my printed at Walmart and they look great. There are a few that lost a slight part of the page, but no words (other than maybe part of a username...but even then only slightly)...they all look great!
