Nanaimo Year End coffee/trade Dec 13

[maple188]

Well it's come down to our last meeting of the year. Tues Dec 13 7pm

As discussed at our last meeting I am willing to hold this one at my house. (pm me for the address if you can make it.)

Also a cookie exchange was mentioned. I love baking so I'm in on that one. Never done one before so how many do I need to bake?

I will make coffee and tea so just bring all those good Dec 31 expiry coupons with you. Sadly I'm almost ready to part with mine.

DH has agreed to take himself out to a movie that night so the house will be ours.

Great maple188! We will try and be there!

oh! i wish i could make this one, but will be working once again

For the cookie exchange (if anyone is interested) it usually goes by how many people are attending or want to participate. So if 6 people want to do it then 6 dozen cookies. 1 dozen for each participant. At least that's how I understand it.

Yes, Jamie you're right, that is how the cookie exchange works. I would love to come and would love to be in on the cookie exchange as well. I will pm you for your address maple188,and closer to the date if you could just let me know how many are in the cookie exchange so I know how many dozen to make. Thank you

[maple188]

Need suggestion. Can someone post this again on FB. Only thing. How would I get them the address? I have a FB account but don't have a clue how to use it.

[lady_arianna]

maple i can post it on fb for the ladies there, i won't post up your addy on there, but will get them to pm me for the address if that works for you

[Amanda83]

This sounds really fun, I just got the invite on FB but won't be able to make it. Thanks for the invite though.

Thank you.

y/w

i would like to take part in the cookie exchange please also if there are more than 6 people interested in the cookie exchange then we should split it up so we aren't making 12x dozen cookies kinda thing also a really good idea is to include the recipe for the cookies (not only so others can make it again, but for allergy purposes)

[jamieg123]

great idea lady_arianna. I was just curious how many people we are looking at for the cookie exchange? Need to get started...what is everyone making? I would like shortbread if no one has claimed it yet...

[maple188]

darn.... ok shortbread is yours. lol I'll take peanut butter chocolate chip. (or is that not Christmasy?)
I have not had any other pm's about it so I'm thinking only 5 right now. This was in part smadax idea so i'm hoping she is coming too.

[lady_arianna]

i will make haystacks! (aka no bake cookies)

[lady_arianna]

darn.... ok shortbread is yours. lol I'll take peanut butter chocolate chip. (or is that not Christmasy?)

i think that would be ok, as long as no one who is doing the cookie exchange has a major issue with peanuts (i won't eat them, but i won't die if i taste them kinda thing, so not really an issue for me, and i am hosting christmas, so yummy treats are good to have on hand)

ok posted an update on the facebook event about the cookie exchange, and also sent a message to everyone coming asking if they wanted to take part in the cookie exchange

here is the link for the event
