A lovely surprise

 Last night while laying in bed trying to drop off to sleep I suddenly remembered that I still had a Christmas present tucked into the branches of my Christmas tree.  I have just opened it to find a set of cookie cutters which will make a Christmas tree. The parcel was sent to me by a lady called Sandy. We have never met and only exchange emails two or three times a year so it was a complete surprise to receive the parcel. Thank you Sandy. I've never made gingerbread before but now want to make a gingerbread tree... Followed by a shortbread tree...and then a chocolate cookie tree.  I am going to have such fun playing with the cutters and they will come in really handy next year when I put Alexander and Beckah a Christmas hamper together.  I can add a cookie tree.  My online friends are some of the kindest I have ever known.
