WRAP ON 2007…the year that whooshed by!
“We have so much time and so little to do. Strike that, reverse it.”Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory View from my window in 2007… That time of the year again; am racing as usual…still so much to do, and so little done. Even the year has almost come to an end! Huff Puff!! Will make an attempt to get onboard Nupur’s blogevent ‘Best of 2007’ to mark the end of 2007…a chance to do a SWOT on ourselves! I’m not sure I’m good at this, but will give it a shot since I committed. Am still pretty new around here, and have been hooked onto blogland only since…

It’s crisp, it’s buttery, it’s cheesy…& attractive too.

I love playing around with cookie…
