I can not remember the Great Food Blogger Cookies Swap of 2011 without thinking about the one that took place last year, 2012. The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap 2012 was magical in a different dimension. The cookie swap was taking more shape and had a purpose, another purpose than just having many food bloggers send cookies to each other and make new friends, (new relationships).
