~ Cookie Exchange Extravaganza ~

 

How sweet is this?...Super Sweet

Last night was our Home School Group's 17th Annual Cookie Exchange, which a friend organized and I hosted (at my home).  Praying together is part of our gathering. 

Prayers which lift the mind and heart to God.

Prayers which are much needed.

 

~ The Savory ~
I was able to capture only a few dishes on my camera...

Grape tomatoes, gouda cheese & spanish olives...
hand-made with love by Butterfly and Little Lamb

Spinach & cheese mini-quiche...
not hand-made, but still savory good.

Sweet Potato with Sea Salt

remember these?  We decreased the baking time to 8-9 minutes
and increased the chile powder from 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp.

Again, I was not able to capture all the libations drinks

Fresh mint & lemons from the garden...

~ Gifts for moi? ~
Very sweet ladies...surprised me with gifts.  Unexpected.

Green Tea with fresh Jasmine...blooms in hot water.  Fun & enjoyable!

~ Friends & Family Plate or Perpetual Sharing ~
This is a fun and wonderful idea...happy to share! (on the back, I wrote in permanant marker the travels it has made so far...I added our family name and the names of the predecessors.  It will be fun to see where its traveled...who knows, maybe it will come back some year day?

If you would like to organize or host your own cookie Exchange,
here is one method that might help get you started.
