Hi again friends!
The impending office move is almost here! This is the week! So excited that all this busy time will be followed by a three day holiday weekend! Any special plans for the 4th of July?
Fortunately, I won a little contest recently so I’ve received some extra calories by mail to keep my strength up!
Allison from One Day at a Time offered a giveaway a while back and I was one of two lucky recipients to get an extra special delivery!
Too bad the US Postal Service didn’t know it was SPECIAL:

They must have missed this stamped on the package:

(Someone I know who shall remain nameless to protect the not-so-innocent used to work at UPS and told me that packages marked FRAGILE were basically used like footballs ON PURPOSE … there’s your tip of the week!)
Allison did a great job packing it though – everything arrived beautifully!
In the package were her famous homemade COOKIES!!!

She asked what my favorite cookies were and I asked her to surprise me. Did she ever. S’MORES COOKIES?!?! Heck yeah! I’m glad I told her to surprise me – I wouldn’t have even known such a thing existed.

They were incredible and are not lasting long in this household!
And then to top off an already SWEET surprise, she made me purple frosted sugar cookies with an adorable little FF for FitFeat! So cute I almost didn’t want to bite into them!

Allison is currently in the design process for her baked goods company, and is looking for suggestions for her company name. Go check her blog out – I see sweet success in her future!
Thank you Allison for such a generous gift – I thoroughly enjoyed sampling your treats, sharing them with my husband, and the fun anticipation of waiting for something to arrive in my mailbox!
(MSP loves the cookies too, by the way! I promise I’m sharing!)
– Shari B. =)

Allison, I know! I was shocked that none of the cookies had been squooshed. I do in face think the mailman turned the box on its side and used it as a stepstool!
