Pay It Forward

(source)

 

 I've seen this idea pop up here and there around the blogosphere and always thought it was neat, so when I saw Mary Van Note post one on her blog, I decided to join in!

 

Here’s how it works:

The first three people to comment on this post will receive a gift, a little something from me to you.

 

The fine print:

– I’ll create something special to share with the first three people to comment on this post. 

– In order to receive your present you have to play along.

Spread the love on your own blog promising to send a little special something to the first three people who comment on your post.

– You get 72 hours to re-post, or I’ll have to move on to the next person.

 

Who doesn't love getting fun mail? Let's keep it going!

Valentine's Day Swap 2012 Link-Up!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!! <3

I have to spend all day at school, but before I go I wanted to get up the swap link-up. If you participated in the swap please link to your post talking about your swap goodies below.  I can't wait to see what everyone received! :D

My partner was the lovely Courtney from Chase All Your Dreams. When this HUGE box showed up on my doorstep I was super excited and immediately had to open it.  She sent a lot of cute items, wrapped up in equally cute wrapping. She even sent me some home-baked cookies...I mean, come on!

Thank you so much Courtney!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Just a little reminder...

You have until midnight tonight [EST] to sign up for my Valentine's Day Swap! Thanks to everyone that already has--it's going to be a blast. :D

Valentine's Day Swap 2012!

Last Sunday I mentioned I had a fun Valentine's Day surprise coming up, and this is it!

As some of you may know I rang in the new year as a single lady. We both knew it was the right decision and I'm incredibly optimistic about what the future holds.

...but what does this have to do with this swap? Well, I enjoy Valentine's Day--I enjoy the colors, the decor, the chocolates, everything! So just because I won't have a significant other to celebrate with this year, doesn't mean that is going to stop me from enjoying every minute of it, and I want to enjoy it with all of you. ;D

Cold Hands Warm Hearts Swap

I'm tardy to the party--but here is my Cold Hands Warm Hearts swap package from the lovely Ashley over at Simply Enchanted! I haven't been able to wear the gloves yet because of you know what, but I've already used some of the craft supplies and played around with the eyeliners. :D  Thanks so much to Illene and Sandy for putting this swap together!

Mail Time!

I love [lovelovelove] receiving packages in the mail, so when I found a nice sized one crammed in my mailbox the other day, I was pretty excited!

The package was from LeeLee of JustBecauseByLeeLee. We organized a fun craft swap/random happiness swap, and boy, did she delivery.

pins, jewelry, sequins, ribbon, unicorns, pink, and more!

I still need to finish up on mine--I hope she is just as happy with hers when she gets it. :D
