When I started blogging back in the dark ages (you know, 19 months ago), little did I know how awesome bloggy friendships would be. A box arrived on Monday addressed to the Princess Nagger. Behold the contents:
The gracious Jan from Jan’s Sushi Bar is the thoughtful culprit behind the gift. She had emailed me last week to get my address because when she was out shopping, she spotted something she just had to pick up for Princess Nagger. Dinosaur cookie cutters!
An Apatosaurus (and yes, I had to ask Princess Nagger which one this was):
T-Rex:
Pteranodon (her favorite):
And what every Princess making Dinosaur Cookies needs – a Princess Crown Cookie Cutter:
But her creativity and generosity doesn’t stop there – the spiral booklet she sent was customized with recipes for the Princess Nagger to make:
Princess Nagger was thrilled to receive such a thoughtful gift, and doubly thrilled they were dinosaur related. She can’t wait to make dinosaur cookies – I have a feeling those will be on the menu for Mother’s Day. Of course pictures will follow.
Thank you, Jan! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – You ROCK!

That really is a sweet thing to do. Amazing, how we feel so connected to each other through our computers. No matter what some people think these are very real connections.

Oh, I’m SO glad she liked them. When I saw them at the store, I couldn’t NOT get them for her – they were just so perfect. And what good are cookie cutters without cookie recipes?
This was every bit as fun for me as I hope it is for Princess Nagger!
