Feeling Festive




Hey everyone!
Wow, this is such a wonderful time of year!    I'm so excited to pawticipate in Daisy's Christmas Cookie Recipe Exchange today.    Click on her name to see her blog and join in.    Here's a favorite holiday cookie from my house:

CINNAMON COOKIES
1 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon corn starch
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth.  Add the egg and vanilla and stir.   Mix the dry items, then add to the cream.   Drop on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

These are so tasty and soft and delish!   Most everyone likes cinnamon and it's a popular flavor at the holiday season, so I hope you enjoy these.   Thanks, Daisy, for hosting such a yummy event!





And now for the big Holiday Card Exchange Count:

So, my card wall of fame started out like this.



Then a few postal peep deliveries like this....



 And now my wall of fame looks like this!    My total now :   FORTY-THREE!
Oh, yeah, my peeps have 9.   BWAR HAR HAR




AND:   Don't forget about the big upcoming New Year's Eve Bash



Be prepared to have a blast on 12-31-13.    Here are the events so far:

Dance:   That's my gig!   Send your pix to me by midnight 12-25-13 to pawticipate.   Open to singles, couples, groups, any species.  Any dress style welcome, fancy, casual, glam, wild, whatever!   Send pix to     lfurman1987ATyahooDOTCOM

Music:   Sweet William (AKA ROCKIN' WILLS) will coordinate all of the music including his DJ skills, interviews, midnight countdown, Surf Jammers and Bad Dawg Agency.

Drinks:   Puddles will be working with Madi and Ruby to provide a huge variety of drinks for all types of tastes and preferences.

FoodWyatt is providing the foodables for the whole event.

Party Hats / Noisemakers Idaho Pugs will be supplying the festive hats and noisemakers for the party.

Open Mic Comedy HourBaggy and Nin are accepting your jokes (ornery is okay, but not dirty or offensive), funny stories, comedy routines.

Transportation:    Sam is supplying his red wagon for safe transit to and from the party.

Resolutions Booth:    Ranger will be coordinating the New Year's Resolutions.

Dance Lessons:   Lily is supplying pre-party dance lessons for anyone wanting to brush up on their moves before the big dance.

Please link to all of the hosts to be sure you are pawticipating in all of the parts of the big day.  So far I only have 4 dancers and I know the comedy hour could use more acts.    If you have other ideas for making the party super spectacular, please let me know!

Grr and a Festive Woof,
Sarge, Party Pooch

Ooooh yummy cookies. I want them NOW! I'm not the most patient pig though so I'll have to keep nudging to get them baked. That's quite a collection of cards! I can't wait for the dance. I'll do my best to dress up for my sweet girls, at least I promise to TRY but not sure I can get my hooves through the costume Mamma got me. I'll be there to dance with my girls either way!
