Fall Frenzy Swap Reveal!

Hi all! I am so excited to share with you guys the cutest swap package ever that I got in the mail this week! I took part in the Fall Frenzy Swap hosted by Meg at Life of Meg. I was paired with the adorable Casey from Stress Case. She picked out things that describe me to a T!




I loved the shredded paper a lot!!!!





I LOVE the picture frame (it'll be going into my office when I get it all set up!). I also adore the angel decoration( will be put on our Christmas tree), the teaching stickers :), and my favorite thing of all; the cross necklace! I have been looking for the prefect cross necklace for years and you hit it right on the head!



Look at all the cuteness!!!! Such bright colors and goodies! The chocolate bar lasted maybe 30 seconds before hubs and I devoured it lol. It was yummy!!!


Thanks so much Casey for the goodies, I love it all!

Recently, I took part in an amazing swap and got my goodies in yesterday. Nicole over at Flip Flops and Combat Boots hosted the Summer Essentials Swap andI was paired with the lovely Ms. Skinnie over at Skinnie Piggie.

Pour Some Sugar on Me Swap Reveal!

I am a swapaholic! I almost always will sign up for a swap if I see one on my blog, and recently signed up for 3, all to be sent this week. Today I got my first package in and it was AMAZING!!

I participated in The Pour Some Sugar on Me Swap hosted by the lovely Aly@Analyze This I was paired with Wendy@ Ready For TakeoffReady For Takeoff. She is so super sweet and I have made a blog friend for life!

Here's the awesome goodies she sent me!
The box was packed super cute and had bright colored tissue paper in it, but of course, I ripped the box open like a crazy person before getting a picture!


The way to a girl's heart: Glamour!!! Yay!


It's like a pool party in the box and I love it:


A assortment of Margarita mixes! The perfect gift for hubs and I and we cannot wait to mix it all up!


What's a margarita without the salt?? :)


Cute flip flops in my favorite color and they have glitter!!!!


Glasses to sip my margaritas out of and not have to worry about breaking the glass :)


A super cute beach towel with polka dots :)


Thanks soooo much Wendy! I love everything and you got the perfect package for me! Be looking on her blog for her reveal of what I sent her :)

Handmade for You Swaparoo- Reveal :)

First off, I want to apologize for not getting this post up on Wednesday when I got my package; I had ever intention of getting it up yesterday, but as we all know, blogger was down. That and the post office gave my hubby the wrong package on Tuesday, so I had to wait an extra day, which sucked! When I saw that the lovely Miss Angie @ My So Called Chaos and Beth @ Living a Goddess Life were hosting this amazing swap, I knew I had to be a part of it. I love swapping, but I especially loved this swap, because everything was made from hand and from the heart. I love having one-of-a-kind goodies and I love creating one-of-a- kind creations for others. I was lucky enough to be paired with the amazing Ms. Bernie at @One Mixed Bag. Let me just say, she totally put her heart into this swap and spoiled me. I feel like I've made a life-long blogger friend who I have so much in common with and I constantly stalk her blog for a good, deep laugh.



Hubby had my package open when I got home because he is like a little kid at Christmas when I get a package while at work and he has to wait until I get home before he can see what is in it.

Now onto the goodies :)(Sorry my camera didn't focus in some pics!)

First off was these cute earrings! They're so adorable-so girly and dainty and I can't wait to wear them! She emailed me to let me know she forgot to put them in the original package so she mailed them out separately and I got them the same day. So sweet!!



Next, she custom made me a personalized stamp to stamp the cards I make by hand! She has her own stamping company and makes all kinds of neat stuff! I LOVED this and it'll be such a nice touch on the back of my cards!



She made me a set of custom made vintage cards that are adorable! I only took a pic of one (I dunno why, guessing I was too excited digging through the box :).


Then were these super super cute recipe cards that she made from a brown paper sack! I dunno how she did it, but I LOVE them and they work so well in my soon to be completed, vintage kitchen.


The cute card she sent me! It told me to read it AFTER I opened the package and I did.



This was my favorite of the package! She handmade me, along with help from her hubby, Mr. Bernie, a recipe card holder for when I cook! She found these totally crazy recipes featuring poultry cookies and dishes with squirrels! I just love the little spoon holder!




She made this cute vintage jar with vintage Hershey's labels for my kitchen that I LOVE! I poured my coffee in it and it's perfect!


Bernie made Josh and I a HUGE bag of Chex mix that is sooo yummy! I have to keep swatting at Josh's sneaky hands and hide the bag so i get to enjoy some of it :)


She made me more stamps! All of what I need to make custom cards for special occasions. I think I now have an addiction to stamps :)


Thanks so much Bernie for everything! You spoiled me and gave me amazing things that will be a big part of my new kitchen. Go and check out her blog-@One Mixed Bag ; you won't be disappointed and you'll laugh til you pee your pants and if you want to see what I made for her!
