Yeah, that's a scream coming from Oklahoma! I am sorry to be sending some many notes, but I am determined to get this fixed before they take me away in a white coat.
Here's the deal. It's very obvious by the reports I get from the Newsletter provider that many subscribers are not getting the newsletters. I know of at least three other newsletter editors having similar problems. The last issue sent on Thursday was the worst of all. I didn't even get my three test copies sent to different email addresses. I'm just hoping this newsletter reaches more people.
What I need is about 10 - 20 folks who are willing to help me figure this out. I would put you on a special newsletter list and send out various versions with different programs over the next few weeks. This will help find out what is showing up and who is getting it. I need a cross section of AOL users, text version users and html version users. PLEASE let me know and I will be eternally grateful. (Well maybe not eternally -- at least until the end of this year!) Email Me!
Meanwhile I am taking the liberty of repeating a few of the more intersting parts of the last newsletter and a few new additions in this one.
I just found out about a new Advertising Jar that looks extremely interesting. I will be posting more information about it on The Cookie Jar Spot later this week and will let you know about it in the next newsletter.
Until next time, if they don't take me away.

I've been on the phone with Henry a few times over the past week to find out more about his new venture. If you've always wanted a Cavanagh jar and couldn't quite afford one, check out these new China pieces. I just received the one I bought, Speedy Taxi, and it's terrific. Check your favorite cookie jar dealer, or you can also direct from Henry. He also has Artist Proofs available.
As mentioned before -- reorganizing my web site, it's no small task with over 1500 pages on it. One article I "found" again was Joan Riba's Give Me A Break. It's been updated with new links.
For all you mystery fans, here is the latest Joanne Fluke book. I'm sure you remember Hannah, owner of The Cookie Jar Bakery? She is at it again, solving another murder while baking up tempting cookies. One of her new recipes is included.
Two jars are on their website, one is a floral/berry one which reminds me of my Patricia Breen Arcimboldi ornament. Also shown is a rabbit with chicks that's on sale.
Several new "wants" have been posted on the bulletin board. Check them out. Meanwhile someone just emailed me about wanting a fox cookie jar. If you have one let me know and I will pass your name along.
A few notes have been added to the Cookie Jars for Sale bulletin board, including a possible trade. This can be accessed from a link at the top of the Wanted Bulletin Board.
(Unfortunately spammers have discovered the bulletin boards and I will be taking the notes off as they occur, meanwhile don't buy any puppies from Korea or Russia!)
