Yes, I know I am running late.

I had an episode with WalMart that made a five minute trip into a 5 hour trip.  I was even humming Gilligan’s Island to myself while in the checkout line for an hour.   MamaKittyinaz was laughing at me.

Lesson learned: never go shopping with MamaKittyinaz when you have baking to do.

But she made up for it, she helped out with cookie making, she put the cookies in the oven, rolled them in sugar and did all that stuff, while I kept making stuff.

It took two days but here is all the treats that the people who got the results of my baking frenzy:

Snickerdoodles, No Bakes, S’Mores Bars, Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats Hershey Kisses, Soft GingerSnaps, Peanut Butter Cookies, Peanut Butter Blossoms, Coconut Oatmeal Butter cookies, Chocolate Dipped Macaroons (And half that were not dipped), Chocolate Chip Cookies, Dipped Mini Oreo Cookies, Chocolate dipped Pretzels, White Chocolate Dipped Pretzels, Peanut Butter Pretzels, Rice Crispy treats, Cap’n Crunch Bars, Banana Bread, Pumpkin Cupcakes, Turtle Brownies.

I think I missed a few, but you get the idea.  The trays are PACKED!

And then I got sick yesterday.  I’m feeling better, but not a 100%.  But I have wrapping to do, which only I can do.. long story. (Which by the time I am posting this I finished with… 15 minutes to spare.)  And my hubs is ready to help as well clean house.  I am drinking copious amounts of tea since it has helped in the past.  and I need to prep for tomorrow’s dinner.

This is all to explain, that while I have the stories ready to be read, no banners have been made.  I will make them when I get the chance!!!!

And my own story, Carolized, is ready to go.  There is a note on the bottom why this had to be approved.  This is NOT Beta read.  they were all busy!  So enjoy the story.  Click on the Banner to the challenges, and the banner for Carolized to be taken there.

Voting is set with one limit.  But if you figure it out, you can vote more than once.  You should be able to vote each day either way.  I give you a hint, it has to do with what I posted earlier… hehehe

Last, but not by far not the least, Merry Christmas.  Thanks for everything everyone, and we are planning to hit the ground running after my birthday in January.  It’s close so no worrying.
