Happy Holidays, Sheilas!

We are about to spend our first Christmas together! What better way to celebrate than to share some of our own family traditions with each other. This, of course, means those precious recipes that we use to delight our families and friends during the holiday season. Do you have your grandma's sugar cookie recipe or your own special blend of ingredients for a super fudge? Whatever you make, we hope that you will share your recipe(s) with us.

 

Here is the plan for our holiday recipe exchange....

 

Sign up below to let us know that you are in. Choose a favorite recipe or two, or a few...you decide... and put each onto a 4X6 inch card. Make one of each for each participating Sheila. Embellish as you wish. There are no rules with these recipes beyond the size. It is a busy time of year...it is perfectly acceptable to type your recipes.  Be sure to put your name somewhere on the card. It would be nice to include one of your family's favorite holiday traditions on the back of the card, but not mandatory. Mail your cards to Toni by December 1. She will sort and get them back to you that same week. Happy Cooking!

 

Here is the latest on our recipe swap:

 

Participating by sharing recipes are the following:

Joyce, Debz, Julz, Kelz, Erica, Di, Kaz, Melz, Megs and Toni AND AMBER!!!!!

 

Participating by sweetly scrapping recipes to help a Sheila:

Conz and Di (for Kelz)

 

Opting out this time for personal reasons:

Melanie, Gayle, Lorz

 

I haven't heard from Rob...she might still be on vacation

 

I am leaving the final total of cards to make up to each individual Sheila. If I am not sure about the number of cards you send, I wil PM you. If you mail your cards to me on Dec 1 at the latest, we will be good! I will get them back out to you ASAP!

 

Are Melz and Erica the only one doing a tag shape?

I wonder if the folks at Pillsbury would get their panties in a bunch if I claimed their tube cookies as my own.

I'm in only because I can type them. Thank Tonz.

I'm in! What fun!

Can anybody tell me if I send the Candy Cane recipe card to you already? I think I did. I don't want to duplicate.
 
4-Nov-2009 @ 7:17:29am
I'm in - should we specify that these are for cookies/sweets recipes?

Please let us know how many of each recipe to send to you (after everyone signs up)

I'm in! I will now have to think of something! (I am liking the free choice of recipe type and number of cards that we make, obviously at least one per Sheila)
I already know what family traditions I want to share!
 
4-Nov-2009 @ 11:21:40am
I'm in, great idea!
 
4-Nov-2009 @ 5:32:44pm
In for one or two
 
5-Nov-2009 @ 8:16:10am
I'm in-can't wait!

Toni - check out the recipe "tag" already posted in the Sheilas' gallery. What do you think about making these 4x6 tags instead of standard cards?
That size tag would fit into a standard recipe box, or each person can make a little recipe "ring" using a binder clip or make their own mini album with them.
The tag looks so cute and appropriate for Christmas cookies - I am totally stealing that idea. Just thought it would be neat for everyone to make it that way.

Tonz, count me in, I would love to share the recipe of the mexican punch my family (and many others) always make for Christmas, I like Melzies tag shape and will also make mine like that :)
 
9-Nov-2009 @ 5:28:45pm
Yeah I agree with Erica so we know how many to make. I didn't know if I should make 16 or less.
 
10-Nov-2009 @ 7:11:01am
sounds like fun. sincei am not able to play, let me know which recipes i should ask you all for later. :)
 
11-Nov-2009 @ 2:25:25pm
I have already made 4 x 6 cards, they can be made into tags by anyone who wishes to do so.
 
12-Nov-2009 @ 5:57:46am
Melanie, I already made you one~ I think you have an excuse not to participate! I'll include it in your Christmas goodies! :)
 
12-Nov-2009 @ 9:57:38am
I made one for you too Melanie. I'll mail it to you when I mail to Toni
 
16-Nov-2009 @ 11:26:05am
So it looks like we're making 11 cards, correct? For:
Joyce, Debbie, Julie, Kellie, Erica, Di, Kristin, Melz, Megs, Toni, Connie

(If Connie is doing all the work making recipe cards, she should get a set too.)
 
16-Nov-2009 @ 4:26:52pm
Okay I am making the tag shaped cards. I already got one set done. I was just waiting for a total. It looks like 12 because I want to mail my set to Melanie since she can't join us at this time.
 
17-Nov-2009 @ 5:42:05pm
Look up....We've added Ams to our list of recipe swappers! Yippee!!
 
17-Nov-2009 @ 7:39:52pm
The recipes went out to Conz and Di yesterday.
 
20-Nov-2009 @ 9:40:33am
I have made one for you too Melanie. I will send it out when I send Tonz hers. Along with your baby gift. Sorry!!
 
24-Nov-2009 @ 9:30:47am
Ok, so are we up to 12 cards now? I don't want to make too few.
