It's Swap Season!

Awhile back, I got involved with Casey's Sweet Swap at her blog Stress Case.  Through the swap, I found Allison's blog, sent her a package, and got some sweet treats in return.

Because I enjoyed that so much, I got involved in another swap.


And then another one.

I've just received information for a mug swap at Suzels Says.  A mug swap?? Please.  That's not even a challenge.  I've gifted more Alaska coffee mugs than I can count.  There's a souvenir section in every grocery store.  My partner is Natalie @Spoonful of Sugar.










You must be thinking that I either love the post office or that I enjoy writing out shopping lists.

Neither are true.

Swaps are fun though.  I love giving gifts and when I get a sweet little surprise in return?  It makes a boring day into something special.

This is what I received from Tabitha in the Accessories Swap @TeachinginHeels.

I was actually pretty thrilled that she sent me statement jewelry because that's one of those things I never think to buy for myself.  I'm still wearing bangles from 2008...Plus, I love anything purple!
Then, from the Favorite Things Swap at Linny's Vault, Sheri-Ann, Sprinkles and Style sent me a few of her favorite things.

You would have to be NUTS to turn down Oreos and Sour Patch Kids.  Plus, how did she know that I use self-tanner??? Weird.
Sheri-Ann also made me two cute bracelets (my statement jewelry of choice) and sent Essie nail polish.  
I'm so glad she got me nail polish because I usually only buy one bottle per year.  Chinchilly by Essie is a great neutral color that I may actually be able to keep on my fingers without peeling it off (a horrible habit, by the way). 


Thanks, ladies, for being my swap partners!  

Have any of you readers tried blog swaps?? It's kinda like having a pen pal, only better.  Plus, I didn't feel weird giving out my address to random people.  I know that no one's going to trek it to Alaska to hunt me down :).
