Um, this happened.

Ladies' Home Journal emailed me this summer and invited me to a holiday cookie swap with 5 other food bloggers and flippin' INA GARTEN. Yes, BAREFOOT CONTESSA. In her BARN in the HAMPTONS. I'm still starstruck, to say the least. I wanted to share with you all because you LiveJournaliens have been my peeps since the very beginning. Thanks for all your support and for letting me be giddy with you when something like THIS happens!!

Also, these cookies are delicious. Duh. Because NO WAY would I have taken them to Ina Garten's house unless they were.
