THE COOKIE JAR SPOT: Just in case you've not been to The Cookie Jar Spot on About.com, it's the place to check out.
Past articles, resources, fun stuff, dealer listings and lots of polls. In fact, I'd appreciate it
if you took the time to vote in the polls.

M & M: Everytime I go to Las Vegas, the one place I have to visit -- usually before I visit the Casinos, is M & M World.
And it's a good thing I did visit, it's just about the only thing I came home with.

BLUEBERRY MUFFIN MURDER: Cookie jar collectors will really have fun reading this mystery by Joanne
Fluke. You might remember Hannah, the heroine who owns The Cookie Jar Bakery, shops at thrift stores
and shares wonderful sounding cookie recipes. Fluke takes along an appropriate cookie jar to her book signings and for this book, I am proud to say,
I helped her find the perfect fit. There is a Blueberry Muffin cookie jar!

DISNEY:Yesterday there were two jars on sale at the Disney site, today there is only
the Nitemare Before Christmas "ON" Sale. I've noticed many times that the sale items will appear and disappear
several times during the week. The best thing to do with Disney is to check often. Put Cookie Jar in the search
box and see what pops up. Also, try candy jar -- that will sometimes show "small" cookie jars. There are two
other Disney jars for sale on their Internet store.
The Nitemare Before Christmas
HARRY & DAVID:Honestly, although Harry & David has some terrific jars, their
high shipping prices keep me from ordering them. I wait to try and find them elsewhere.
But this Rabbit jar, with a Fitz & Floyd look, is on sale. The shipping price is reduced quite a bit when the
item is below $50.

ONLINE AUCTION RANTS
The seller all alluded to in last month's newsletter is still in business on eBay, selling lots of
very "rare McCoy" jars. They must be rare, cookie jar collectors have never heard of them! Another new seller
has been popping up -- again, telling how the jars have been found in estate sales and flea markets.
These sellers names have been added to the Cookie jar Club's bulletin board under Fakes on Ebay.
If you know of someone trying to deceive buyers by selling fakes on eBay, join in by adding the name to the
list. It might not make much of a difference, but it might save a few new buyers.
Fakes on eBay BB Note
With eBay, remember the phrase is BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!
Conversely, if you know of GOOD sellers, it's nice to list them too. There is a special category on the
Cookie Jar Club bulletin board for those. Someone added a few names this past month, any others that you
have dealt with?

KRISPY KREME $1. a Dozen. . .
Yes, I know this is completely off topic, but since I KNOW so many of you love Krispy Kreme Donuts, I didn't
think it would hurt to mention this here.
There really are Collegiate Bowling Teams and even though Oklahoma University can spends millons of dollars
every year on athletics, they will not help out the school team. Well, they did get $40. last year from
the school!
So, the team is fundraising with Krispy Kreme Donut Cards. Buy a Dozen, Get a Dozen for $1.
Find out more about the team and their fundraiser if you are interested in helping out:

ACJA SHOW: Several ACJA members visited the PalmerWirfs Antique & Collectible
Show the beginning of March. We also checked out the hotel and some restaurants in the area.
The hotel is wonderful, could not ask for anything better! The restaurants in the area range from
fast food to very expensive. Something for everyone. The show was crowded and full of goodies -- I
can't imagine anyone not having a terrific time. Check out what's new and if you are a dealer -- be sure
to sign up soon.

I know many are unhappy with all the Pop-Ups when clicking on my About site, believe me, it makes
me unhappy too. But someone has to pay the bills and for right now, pop-ups are the way they choose
to advertise. Everyone knows about the companies that have had problems with advertising and About is
not any different. So please bare with me on this, hopefully it will get better. The alternatives are not
very good.
Also, I know many people have trouble with the Cookie Jar Chat. I cannot move all my chats off of the About Site,
but I will move the Thursday night one to my personal web site. This is for Thursday Nights ONLY!
So, if you have had trouble accessing chats, check the link below and try and join us tonight.
until next time,
