First, I apologize for not planning this better. I'm flying out tomorrow to be with my grandson and hindsight, I should have drawn the name a few days ago so I could have mailed it before I leave. Anyway, without further ado...the winner of this month's apron is Knatolee! Please email me an address where I can send your gift with love...hopefully before I leave, but if not, I'm only gone a week:-)
Today, I've been doing some last minute baking to send a box of goodies to Maddie (hoping they arrive without too much delay due to the hurricane. Simple recipes; one from KAF for Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies and my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies with Mini Reece's Pieces.
I just received a shipment from King Arthur Flour with some new products. One was Swedish Pearl Sugar, so when I saw this recipe on their website, I thought it would be perfect to bake.
This is the journey of The Sisterhood of The Traveling Susan Apron so far.
From Susan (the apron maker) at My Mother's Apron Strings in Redmond, Washington to
Meggie (the sisterhood initiator) at Meggie on the Prairie in Texas to
Elaine at Pear Tree Log in England to

Jane at The Maple Syrup Mob in Ontario, Canada to
Deb at Just Cats in Ontario, Canada
Zaza at Just Sayin' in Ontario, Canada to

Marcia at The Shop Around the Corner in Miami, Florida

Mix up the easy dough and roll tops in the Pearl Sugar |
Once baked they reminded me of Crackle Cookies! |
I found these cute boxes at the packaging store, added some stamped leaves and boxed up 4 cookies! |
Mini Reece's Pieces--perfect colors for Fall and Halloween! |
Big Cookies! |
I could get 2 in each box with this size cookie |
Now, to the post office to get these mailed, then, I need to pack and get things organized.
Sending loving thoughts and prayers to all those in the path of the storm, XOXO

Hello Susan....I love the fabric for October's apron....it runs a close second to the fabric on the Traveling Apron.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan....All's well so far. Lots of rain and wind but we still have power. We are safe and sound, hunkering down.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your concern.
Thanks for your visit and comment, too! Have a good visit. Susan
I am so excited! Saw that pic and thought, "I love that apron!" Then I saw I'd won it. Thanks so much! I will put it to good use. What a wonderful prize.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting high winds from Hurricane Sandy tonight. Hopefully the power won't go out. You can tell what a huge storm it is; it's already blowing on eastern Ontario, while it's just made landfall down in NY, NJ, MD and DC.
Have a great trip! The cookies look amazing.
BE safe on your trip. Congrats to Knatolee on winning one of your magical aprons. I am praying for all in the path of this storm.
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
Congratulations Knatolee! Guess what I'll be baking today...MORE of your wonderful chocolate chip shortbread cookies...George absolutely loves them. Have a wonderful visit. xx

Have a wonderful visit, Susan.
Congrats to the winner! I know she is thrilled! And enjoy your trip to visit family! That's always fun! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeletethose sugar pearls look so exquisite!
ReplyDeleteThey added such a nice touch and a 12oz jar was only $6.95. It took only 5 tablespoons to roll the cookies in:-D
