Thanks for the comment on my blog. I just love hearing other's stories about that cookie, I just loved it. FYI the cookies are delicious however they are ever so slightly crumbly. I don't know what makes them that that way.
I'm half Mexican American too! :-)
Melissa, Thank you!! This is a very special award. Christmas is
my favorite holiday.
Hugs, Terrie
Melissa, your loving spirit shines even more at Christmas time. Congratulations on the award. It is well deserved. Hugs, Marty

The Elf on the Self looks so cute. I'm going to tell my brother about it for my niece and nephew.
Thanks for the tip
Hi Melissa - We love our ravioli!! When my grandmother was alive, she used to make about 500 or so!! Now, we only make about 150. We split them between me and my sister. We make them around Oct. They freeze great and are usually gone around April!! The rule is if you don't help - you don't eat!! I grew up "forking" - one of the grown ups would put the spinach in the middle and would roll it over and I would press the edges closed with a fork!!
Meghan did it when she was little and so does my niece. We all have our assignments!! Now I make the dough - its all in the wrists!
I'm going to try to remember to get pics next year and post them. My mom is a recipe hog and won't share ANY recipes and would kill me if I even thought about sharing our "family" recipes!! Read Kristen's first comment on my post - she knows the deal - LOL!!
Have a good one!
Just wanted to wish you a blessed and very Merry Christmas! ♥ Hugs :) Shauna
You are so funny. I'm glad you helped yourself to some popcorn.. there is "always" plenty around here.. hope things are ok your way..hugs ~lynne~
How nice to see so many getting awards for Christmas spirit. I look forward to Christmas all year.
