One of those friends was recently sent to Iraq to serve and I thought it would be nice to send a care package full of homemade treats his way.
I made brownies, chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles. [On a side note, I'm worried I might have baked the chocolate chip cookies a teensy bit too long as they are not as chewy and soft as I wanted them to be.] Google says (yes, I google everything!) that chewy cookies are the best to ship because they won't crumble in transit. I'm just hoping the package makes it in one piece and the contents are edible! If not, at least they *look* good!! HA!
All packaged up -
complete with my Preppy Paper Girl gift tag!

Of course, now I'm slightly annoyed with you because I'm totally craving brownies, chocolate chip cookies & Snickerdoodles now. LOL :-P

That's so sweet of you. He'll love everything, I'm sure. I once sent TLS soft-baked cookies in the mail, and they ended up sticking and turned into one giant cookie in transit, so if they are a little hard, it's ok. :)
That is so kind of you!!
I have tons of friends that went or are going to North Georgia! What a small world.
Holy cute! I love it! You're so dang cute I can't stand it!
