Stamping & Mailing


Stamping & Mailing
Originally uploaded by jessamynnorth.

Yesterday I went to the post office, bought stamps, stamped envelopes, and mailed Christmas cards. This is the first year we've sent out cards before Christmas in quite awhile. Go, us!

Iced Sugar Cookies

Candace and Erin and Rebecca and I made Christmas cookies on Saturday. It's the fourth year that Candace & Erin & I have gotten together before Christmas to have a Cookie Baking Day, and the third year that Rebecca has joined us.

We've made sugar cookies every year. This year I made the dough at home so that all we'd have to do at Erin's house (she graciously hosted) was roll, cookie cut, bake, and decorate. (For the record, we also made chocolate crinkle cookies aka chocolate exploding cookies, almond cookies, ginger cookies, Christmas bells aka T-bones (which I will never make again), and thumbprint cookies. (Sadly, the spritz cookies and Shea cookies did not get made this year.)

If you click on the picture, the Flickr version includes the recipe.

They are some yummy, yummy cookies.
