Wooot!!! So after lots of holiday traveling I'm finally home again and was greeted by my awesome swap package. My swap partner was Shelly from
Books and Writing so be sure to stop by her blog and check it out.
There's penguins on this paper so I'm already anxious.
I'll admit I was so excited I failed to document which goodie was for which day (I'm going to guess) but let's check it out!
Day 1: Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle. A collection of holiday short stories. This has been on my wish list for a bit and I can't wait to read it!
Day 2: A monogramed stocking with shea butter hand and foot creme from Bath and Body Works. Smells so good!
Day 3: Pentatonix "That's Christmas To Me" CD, I LOVE PTX and they're based out of Dallas so double win. If you've never checked them out on YouTube, do it. They're the highest selling artist who does not receive radio play.
Day 4: Nail polish from
Gothic Gala Lacquers in
Odin. This is a lovely handmade nail polish in a dark purple with a hint of sparkles. You can never go wrong with sparkles.
Day 5: Hand made map notecards and stamped metal "wanderlust" bracelet. I LOVE this! The notecards are handmade with heart shaped map cutouts that have been sewed on. The areas featured are Washington, Pennsylvania and Texas. The bracelet is super awesome because it's so me.
Day 6: Ribbon candy and Starbucks hot chocolate. Yumm! I like ribbon candy which isn't hugely popular but it's typically found during the holidays and an art all in itself. Starbucks hot chocolate is my fav, so much so that I almost went into a diabetic coma once.
Day 7: Japanese stationary sets. Hehehe, these are too cute! I have a mild, I mean healthy, obsession with notecards and stationary. These are perfect and unlike anything else I have in my collection.
Day 8: Infinity scarf! This is a gorgeous tan/gold/pink infinity scarf that is heavy duty. It's so much better than my flimsy fashion scarves and is perfect for cold weather.
Day 9: Cheers mug and peppermint hot cocoa. Cheers! Haha, this is how I sign off all my posts. Cannot wait to take a selfie with it.
Day 10: Gloves and socks. I love winter accessories. I don't even live in that cold of an area but I own TONS of winter wear. These gloves are super cute with silver glittery snowflakes. The socks have little santa kitties and say "santa claws", haha. I do love cats, even if I'm seriously allergic. So these are perfect.
Day 11: Wool headband. I'm really excited by this. Nothing is worse than cold ears and hair frizzes everywhere. Cannot wait to put this headband to good use.
Day 12: Wreck This Journal and pens! I've wanted a Wreck This Journal for a while so I've actually already started wrecking away. :) I'm weird and carry a pencil pouch in my handbag and now I have new sparkly gel pens to put in it.
This was an awesome swap package and Shelly is an amazing partner. Thanks sooo much!
