Not Really M.I.A.

Hello Bloggy Friends!

I've been MIA for the last few days in preparation for the Junior League Market of Des Monies, Iowa. Thought I'd share a few photos of the MonogramChick Booth (taken via the blackberry, hence the quality) and invite anyone in the area to come on by!

Come shop Friday 9 am until 9 pm & Saturday 9 am until 5 pm.

I'll be back this weekend, and will get back to catching up on your lives and blogs!

I haven't posted or emailed the Cookie Swap partners but have made the list {actually, my sainted sister matched partners} and will post/email that on Sunday.

Have a great weekend, chickadees!

Cookie Swap

It is official...Monogram Chick will be hosting her First Annual Online Cookie Swap!




Here's the deal:

• Leave a comment here to let me know you'd like to enter.


• Then, just to be sure we get everyone entered, please send me an email {sarah@monogramchick.com} with the subject line "cookie swap" and include your blog address so that I'll have your blog and email address to share with your partners. Also, please include nut allergies, etc. in your email so that I can match people accordingly.


• You will be paired with 3 (hopefully, depending on the turn out) other bloggers.


• Each person will make 3 dozen cookies and will mail each of their partners 1 dozen cookies along with the recipe.


• Cookies must be home baked.


• Cookies must be prepared by adult hands, no little fingers in the dough (Sandy Toes, that one is for you)


• Partners will be assigned on Tuesday, November 18th


• All cookies should be mailed by December 2nd.


• Cookies should ship well packaged in air tight containers (like Ziploc bags) and packed well with paper or bubble wrap to avoid breakage.


• You need not have a blog to swap with us, anyone is welcome!
