I joined my first Blog Gift Swap over at Stephany @ The Midnight Hershey .
I was a bit nervous to be paired up with a stranger but loved the concept of gift giving and mailing out packages to new friends.
I received information about my new friend Heather Lawless. We corresponded via email, Facebook, and reading blog posts to get to know each other better. The below picture is what I received in the mail from Heather:) I love my sweet mug in animal print and the smelly scentsy is perfect for this holiday season. I had to let the kids use the mug a few times in the beginning but now it's all mine!
The second Blog Gift Swap I joined was over at Sassy Lemonade, Shannon was co-hosting with Semperfi Momma. The theme was Secret Squirrel Warm the Soul Swap. You could send anything to your new friend that was fall related and warmed your soul.
This swap, my new friend was Jessica over at Brown Paper Bunny. I was blessed with her original artwork, a hand painted notecard, one-of-a-kind stickers, and a beautiful Paris notebook. It was like Christmas early:)
Have you ever participated in a Blog swap?

Blog Gift Swap sounds fun!! wow! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteHope you've had a happy week. Thanks for leaving a comment, they are fun!
DeleteNo, I haven't. I don't even know how it is done.
ReplyDeleteUsually, when someone is hosting one they have a blog post where you can enter your information if you're interested in joining. Then you get an email later once they match you up with your new friend. :)
DeleteSo much fun!! I'd love to do something like this with my blogging buddies.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great way to have fun and specially with the Holidays!
DeleteI love the Mother Theresa quote. I'll just have to give out more smiles.
