Hi Robin,

My name is Kim Johnson and my sister Detra Perrotti is getting ready to host her 4th annual cookie swap. I have attached some photos from last years swap to give some inspiration to others.

Every year Detra has three contests:

1. Most Festive Dressed

2. Best Tasting Cookie, Bar or Candy

3. Best Display Of Cookie, Bar or Candy

I wanted you to see just how creative these women got.

For instance in one of the pictures are cookies shaped like mice crawling over real blocks of sealed cheese. In another, the treat called haystacks and they sit on a platter with a ceramic barn. In another was meringue cookies shaped like mushrooms and put on a vegetable platter. There are scrolled copies of recipes, lollipop sticks, candles etc.... Used in so many of these very unique displays.

I was wondering if anyone else has any pictures or recipes or ideas for this category? Please feel free to email me back at kjdr@mail.com.

Thanks for the great site and helping to keep this tradition going. Happy Holidays!!!!
