Wuhoo! Got my package yesterday!

I'm so excited! I have been waiting and checking my porch compulsively. And it came!

It is so full of fun stuff!  All in a cute basket.  Yummy hot chocolate flavors...

Red vines (which I LOVE), and Caramello (which I also LOVE)...Cute fuzzy socks, and a sweet note telling my why she chose the books...

And I am so excited about the books. I already started reading the Children one, because when my kids got home from school today I had to breathe deeply to control my irritation.  They all yell and talk at once and then my little one was crying for attention...you get the idea.  I love self-help books, and these two are perfect for me.

 

And of course, my bookmark.

  It is so fun to have a cute bookmark, usually I just use an old reciept or something.  Thank you Jeanne, I love it all!

Lovin' it!

Thank you so much, Amy! This is perfect for me. The book is "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" and it is the perfect read for my nightly soak in the tub. She carried the "travel" theme through everything else from the stamps on the bag to the wabi socks from Japan, elephant bookmark from China, and Canadian and Mexican chocolates. Love it! And I'm most excited about wearing the socks with my Havaianas all winter! :)

My package arrived at my home on Friday!!!!

when i got home it was waiting for me at my door.

and in this package was all these wonderful things...

My awesome stuff

I am so excited for the wonderful things I got from Jasmine!!!

I love the socks, 4 new cute pairs that I can wear this fall.

The books are amazing, I can't wait to read the Book Thief( my sister already has dibs on it). Anything Jane Austen is pretty darn fabulous in my book. I was really excited for the bookmarks especially since she made one with my name on it!!! Between me, my daughter and my husband I'll be surprised if the treats last more than a day:) Thank you everything was great!!!

my loot

Okay, so here is my amazing package! Isn't it fun to get a package in just for yourself and you don't have to share with anyone???????

So first off was the cute bag my swap came in and the absolutely delicious treats. I had my sister take the picture at an angle so you couldn't actually see that half of the dark cream mints are gone. I guess since I am pregnant, I can blame it on the baby..... or a craving...or just plain greedy.....choices. The other treat were the tiny peanut butter cups also from Trader Joe's.

Sarah, you are a girl after my own heart.




Next came the socks. Everyone I showed them to can't stop touching them. They are lavender scented and infused with lotion. I finally told my kids to stop stroking them it was making me sick.

Last but not least, was this Nicholas Sparks book which I have not read and look forward to. It is always so fun to read something someone else loves. Next to the book was the black and white bead bookmark.

Sarah, thank you so much I LOVED EVERYTHING!!!!

So.....

...I went out on my front porch to use the natural lighting for a jewelry photo,

when what do I spy? My present from Josephine!!
\

I tore into the package with a fury!

I got cute, fuzzy, blue slippers.

A music note bookmark. (ps...I never use bookmarks because I never put the book down)

Two books: "Sylvester" by Georgette Heyer, and "Silence in Hanover Close" by Anne Perry.

And a whole slew of snackage.

At this point I'm thinking Josephine is a genius. I told her I liked Victorian romances and mysteries, and she found me a Victorian Mystery (!!!) How awesome is that?

Next, I decide that Josephine is not only a genius, she must be a psychic.

How else would she know that I love and adore wedding mints?

(and all the other snacks, I've just always been ridiculed for my love of mints)

So, now I must go. Because, I've got some reading to do. . .

Oh. and did I mention that I LOVE this swap?

love this swap thing!!

this is my package i got from Nicole! the package was so cute, all pink black and white. i got whoppers and a heart book mark, and a pair of cute poka dot black socks, and the book, lord of the flies that i have not read for a long time! i love swapping it is so fun. thanks Nicole!
