I can't believe it!!!

Have you heard about Holiday with Matthew Mead ? Here is what Matthew says about it:
"Holiday with Matthew Mead is a book-azine that encompasses all that I love about the holiday season: the traditions, celebrations and magic that is the holiday season. The pages of Holiday with Matthew Mead are filled with fresh, easy ideas that can be achieved in two or three steps. It's a novel approach to almost everything holiday, and I hope you take a chance to pick it up and see how these updated ideas might inspire you. With 144 pages of holiday inspiration - featuring well-known and admired designers, bloggers and top-notch stories - and printed on beautiful paper (while not drowning in ads!), we consider Holiday with Matthew Mead part book/part magazine - a publication that you will keep from year to year and add to your collection of Holiday decorating, crafting and cooking magazines and books."
Now for the "I can't believe it part"   They were having a cookie recipe contest to choose holiday cookies to be featured in the book and My cookie recipe was one of the ones chosen... Which one you ask?  You'll have to wait and see!!  : ) Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday season and this is just icing on the cake for me!! I love pouring over holiday books like this and you can be sure this will be on my coffee table to enjoy!
I am humbled and honored to be one of the chosen ones and very excited as well!
Thank you Matthew Mead and Staff.
