It was probably me :) I love a good cookie! :) Really quick, because we start school tomorrow and you all know how busy this weekend is, I have a little freebie for you. I made this for one of my "get to know you" activities the first week of school. I did not know of an easy way to upload the cookies so that you could type right onto them to put the students' names.
