Oh... and I nearly forgot!

My lovely blog friend Alyssa (you know her by now though right?) is having a great swap to combat the christmas blues... I've definitely been sad since we've taken our tree down (I miss it) and I think a swap is the perfect way to recover!

So, what are we swapping?

1. Something for goodluck in 2011 - this can be anything at all that you believe will bring good luck to your partner
2. A tasty treat - something yummy! {if you are in the same country you could even send baked goods!!}
3. Something you love, one of your favorite things! (book, movie, photo, a hobby, a plant absolutely anything)

Head over here to sign up!

I love mail! (and swaps!)

This weekend was so exciting!! I received my gift swap parcel from Erika (who's blog I totally adore - I was so excited when I saw who had sent it!) and I have to admit it is the most perfect gift ever!!

Chocolate, autumn feet photo postcards, lipbalm and look at all the yellow! I am seriously smitten with the owl purse - I used it on Saturday straight away...

and the yellow flash lomography disposable camera! Eep! Just perfect - we took out it on Saturday night as well and then went for a walk along the canal on Sunday just so I could finish it off!

Erika added that you can also reuse the camera so I included the photo of it open for anyone as curious as I was to see inside (haha) I'm picking the photos up today, hurray!!

Thanks Erika for the amazing present and Carly for hosting such a great swap :D

(Now all I need to do is get round to finishing the photoswap...)

Holiday Gift Swap!!

I am all about the swaps right now!

When Carly let me know she was doing a holiday gift swap, I almost danced with excitement. I love christmas, I love buying gifts, I love surprises and I love you guys. What better way to show that love than to get one of you a present!!

So join up quick - the rules are simple - you'll have 1 partner to swap with, you must send a creative gift with the approximate value of $10-15US (without shipping). It could be anything- handmade or bought, vintage or not.

Sign up closes on November 9th - don't miss out!!

p.s. I love wrapping presents the most, I can not wait!
