My first blog entry

Hello, My name is Kyla. I have been baking Christmas cookies for well over 20 years! I took over the Christmas baking from my family as soon as I was able, but really got going in highschool. I now bake over 12 varieties and usually double each kind. I have a few tried and true favorites and add a few new ones into the the mix every year, sometimes they stay and sometimes they don't.

I never thought I would create a blog, but after being asked to share my cookie receipes and pictures, here I am! Pictures and cookie receipes comng soon!
