I hope that there is no problem with shipping. I was worried about that at first but then someone mentioned about using priority shipping or something like that. I have always had good luck using the tins for freshness too because they keep them so tight.

I received my cookies from Jonnie on Thursday! They are delicious! I have them hidden here in my computer/sewing room so that I don't have to share them, lol! Jonnie did a good job packing them up in a tin inside a priority box, they arrived in excellent shape! I will be making mine this weekend, and shipping on Monday!

Brooke, Got your cookies in the mail today. You should have them Friday. Mailed them 110 miles from home and realized I had left your card at home so, it is 'cardless' but sent with many blessings. I love to bake but it was a challenge for me to get any of the gluten free recipes I tried to come out looking edible. I hope you will enjoy them. Be blessed, Vickie

Connie, your cookies came yesterday and of course we've gone in on them! We watching tv last night with a cup of coffee and eating cookies with all our dogs watching like vultures. (We gave them a pnch.) Merry Christmas to us all! They are sooo good. I especially like the oatmeal,cranberry, pecan ones, and thanks for the recepies. I haven't forgotten you. Just rename me "A little late." |

Vickie! I received your cookies today!! WOW, I can't believe the shipping on that. You shouldn't have! Goodness gracious. *HUGS* Thank you so much. They are yummy and I appreciate the effort and goody cookies(!) and I am going to send you something very very soon in appreciation! That is just so sweet of you. You don't know how I appreciate the cookies at this time. LOL ... what a bummer to do this swap and then find that I can't make the normal cookies. I've been kinda going crazy for some things! lol

Hi Brooke, Glad you got them and liked them. I wish you could have seen the messes I made trying to make Christmas cut out gluten free cookies, etc. It was unbelievable. I know the shipping was unbelievable. I stood in line and waited my turn at the Post Office in Odessa and asked the post office lady what the best way to ship them would be that would be reasonable but with 2-3 day delivery then she told me just send it that way that is your best bet. So, in blind faith I did. I stepped aside and filled out the information to let others go on as the line was sooooo long. Then stepped back up there and when she told me the price I nearly dropped my britches and my teeth but the line was too long and I had already been there a long time so just jumped in and did it. It will be okay. Just enjoy them and know they are made with love and shipped like gold! Please don't worry about reciprocating I promise your health is much more important than a cookie is on my hips!!! Be blessed, Vickie
