I hosted my first cookie swap this December. I attended one at my neighbor's house last year and we decided to make it an annual event. It was supposed to be ladies only except for one young man, Nicholas, who baked cookies for his mom (she does not cook or bake) and it would not have been right to exclude him. The cookies were FABULOUS!!!!!! and I had enough for all my entertaining for the holiday season. The displays were beyond anything you can imagine. Someone created a village of houses out of the cookie boxes and everyone took a building home. We had prizes for the best display, best holiday outfit, and other things. We also created a cookbook which we will add to each year.

Such Yummy Fun! Can't wait until next year!

Happy Holidays from the Park Lane Cookie Swap!
