Thanks for the comments!
I received 10 comments from blog readers and passersby during the "Cans for Comments" campaign. It doesn't seem like a lot, but I think that's more comments than I've had during my entire blog tenure, so it's a step in the right direction! I will be making the contribution sometime before the end of 2008. Now, here are some shots of my Christmas cookie-making production this past Saturday. Aaron's mom is in love with these cookies and has already requested them for her birthday in March. She mentioned in her voicemail that I can make them in shamrock shapes and lucky for her, I have a shamrock cookie cutter already!! 
My soon-to-be last name, a Christmas word, and my first name/Christmas word. :)
