Happy Holidays (I miss you all!)


Wow - I was completely bowled over by all the warm, supportive, and thoughtful responses you all left to my last post. Happily I can report to you that Mom and I talked things over and are getting along much better now. Sadly, work has now gone berserk as I prepare for a trial less than a month away. I hate to vanish on you like this and will miss writing here and dropping by your blogs, but hope you'll understand. Stay tuned, though, for the wrap-up of my vegan cookie month (and a half O=p) including book winners. Then I'm on hiatus, but I'll be back before you know it and am already planning all sorts of baking escapades for the spring.

On this special day made for sharing with our families and loved ones, I also want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and to thank you for being so wonderful! Plus I simply had to share with you the adorable photo above as a nod to all this darn snow and sleet we've been getting in the DC area. (You may notice I'm pretty enamored of the imgfave site.)

  12. Happy Holidays! I'm so glad you sat down with your mom (that is such a tough thing to do and aren't you brave) The perfect start to a new decade.
    I've only just found your blog a few weeks ago but I'm still going to miss you. The best of luck in your trials. I'll be checking back to see what wonderful creations you stored up during the hiatus.
