And So It Begins

In an hour I will have ordered everything I need for The Fruitcake Project except for what I can beg, borrow, steal, or buy from the supermarket. Hopefully my credit card company won't flail at the unusual activity.

*bounces with anticipation*
(Yes, yes, bring on the Rocky Horror quotations.)

::waits expectantly::

I gotta say, even if I don't get a chance at fruitcake this year, it's great to finally be somewhat privy to the process. I've wondered about it for a long time.

;-D

*laugh* Really? I never thought I was being mysterious.

What I love is that you get such great joy from delighting others. I feel the same about your fic as I do about your fruitcakes - you bring great generosity, hard work, creativity, and love to others with the fruitcakes of your labors!

"Don't dream it, be it!"

In just seven days, I can bake you a pan.

*apologies to Dr. Furter*

OK, that was so much fun to watch, especially whilst surrounded by so much normalcy. Thank you!

When it all gets here if you want help (or just come company) let me know.

Thank you! I'd definetely love both.

Ooooh, now I'm going to be checking LJ every hour or two, waiting for you to post the announcement! Aren't I a greedy little pig.

Oh goodness. *blush* I don't think I'll be ready to do that offr till later this week, so I hope you weren't actually checking every hour.

Will there be an opportunity for those of us who are unsure if they like fruitcake to try some or are you only baking enough to send to the people who are certain they want a lot of fruitcake?

I think this year I may reinstate my christmas cookie overdrive :)

There will definetely be extra fruitcake, and taster-size fruitcakes. I make them in sizes small, smaller, and wee; those massive bricks of lore are kind of terrifying.

I think I would like to come by and taste some of the spare fruitcake at some point. I can bring my contribution of some sort of cookie and we can have a mad bakers exchange.

This must happen.
Once I have some actual fruitcake, we will plan.

I'm so sorry, I meant to look for the hairpins and get them in the mail to you with my offering to help offset some of the Fruitcake costs. Since I expect to be dealing with Girl Scout registration forms tonight, there is a good chance that at least the offering will get in the mail tomorrow. Still don't know about the hairpins.

Sorry, my life is too busy to be organized, but I meant to be better 'cause you deserve my better efforts.
Hugs!

Definetely don't let me add to the busyness of your day. I have hairpins, and you are beyond kind to help me with this.

*hugs you warmly*

Okay, I won't worry about the hairpins, but I will be sending the offering as soon as I get my all together together. *beams and hugs you*
