Hello 2008

January 13th, 2008

Best wishes for everyone out there. May you have everything you need in your lives.I don’t know about you, but I’m really glad 2007 is gone. 2008 is shaping up to be an exciting year. The DooDah Parade (normally held in November), will be held in Pasadena, CA on January 20th. Ric and I will be in the street with Caesar’s Circus. Catapults, gladiators, Caesar in his chariot, at least one Christ to revive the dead gladiators, slave girls, swords, lots of blood (fruit punch syrup), and lots of togas…that’s just our group. I’ll put some pics of it up.

January 26 I’ll be attending the next CCCCC meeting, which will be in Pleasanton, CA. All those C’s stand for the Cookie Cutter Collectors Club (California Chapter). There is a web page, but it’s no substitute for the fun and amazing people at the meetings. There are state chapters and a national Cookie Cutter Collectors Club which has it’s meeting in LaCrosse, WI in June 2008.

The theme for the CA state meeting is fairy tales. It ought to be a blast. Here’s hoping the sand castle cookies I have planned work out better than the (chocolate) flying monkeys I made for the Wizard of Oz meeting I attended in Monterey last year. I’ll put up pics and recipes the end of this month.
