Sorry I'm late on posting about my super awesome swap package, but I had strep throat last week!! And although I can play on Farm Town while on Penicillin (by the way, did you know a side effect of taking penicillin is a black, hairy tongue? Luckily, I had NO side effects!!) and Oxycodone (and yes I realize this is usually given after surgery, but I had some leftover from my C-section almost 2 yrs ago, I ask my OB/GYN when I called him to see if he would call in a Rx for my strep...he said it was okay! I HEART my OB/GYN!!) I could not do a lot of thinking!! So the blog went unwritten!! But never fear, I am ALL better now and finally getting to post!!
So I took part in my first ever Swap hosted by Mamarazzi over at Dandelion Wishes and we were to send our partner our favorite things! So my Swap Partner was Maggi, who has a flipping super cute blog called Just Add Glitter and Stir...she's SO crafty, I almost don't like her...ALMOST!! :D
But I knew from the first email I received from Maggi that she was a girl who I would, in real life, really get along with, which also meant I would get some great Swap gifts!! And she did not disappoint!!!
When I got the box, I almost didn't get the camera to snap pictures! I'm not one for surprises, so it was driving me NUTS to get into that box!! :D

Once the box was opened I found a hand written note on a card that I'm almost positive she made!!

Seeing how cute that is just makes you sick, huh?! I know, this girl is a craft goddess!!
The one thing I didn't get a picture of is the super cute wrapping paper! She wrapped each item individually and had a little note attached to each item to tell me why it was her favorite! When I saw that my first thought was, "well shoot, I didn't do that for her! Oh Man!!" and then my next was, "ah, she's so sweet to do all this!"
Once I got over the super cute card and all the wrapping, I got to the goods!!! Eeeee!! I was so excited!! And I hit jack pot here!!

I LOVE reading, and I'm so excited to get started on her favorite book, Persuasion. And she loves to journal and note take, and I'm notorious for writing things down and forgetting!! lol! The OPI polish...ummm, you just can't go wrong with that!! And how cute will my little piggies look in those super cute flip flops! LOVE THEM!! I got some bath beads, which being a stay at home mom during the summer, they are almost gone!! Some really cute Sparkle lip gloss, and last but not least some Pocky. Which I honestly still don't know exactly what they are, but I don't care...they are sinful!! OMG!! They are SO good...and completely all gone!! Her and her husband found them on their honeymoon and they've become a favorite! And now, I LOVE THEM!!
So there's my great Swap box! Thanks Maggi for your great gifts and your wonderful emails!! I've enjoyed getting to know you, and look forward to knowing you better!!

i am so glad that you and Maggi hit it off! i knew you would. making matches can be a daunting task but love love love when it works out!
Ya know, these swaps are a LOT of work, but I love when people receive their packages and love what they get. Just knowing that over 100 women all over the United States are receiving packages of awesomeness this week thrills me!! Not to mention the bloggy friendships that are forming, it’s just way too cool!
it looks like the vote is in and I am hosting a Red, White and Blue Swap towards the end of the month and will be announcing it SOON!! Keep an eye out for it, I think it’s going to FUN!
Renee,
Your swap looks like so much fun! I've got to do one of those some time!!
Thanks for your thoughtful comment on my post today. I appreciate your feedback. You know sometimes those moments on the phone with the kids quietly entertained are necessary - right? (smiles!)
Yay, you like Pocky! lol If you have a World Market store near you, that's where I've found it before. :) You should also try the "men's" Pocky which is pretty much the same thing but with dark chocolate! Woo hoo! lol Glad you liked the box, I hope you're feeling better!
How fun! love the stuff you got! I will have to join in on a swap someday.
Cool Swap! YOu scored some cool cute stuff.
Am I imagining things or did one of the items look just like your blog background?
