Thanks Melonie!

I don't have my camera charged and am in the process of moving - which is always a joy. But I wanted to thank you for the picnic blanket and corn plates. I love it and can't wait for an opportunity to use it.

Joanna ....

Thanks, Joanna!

Thank you, Joanna for everything!

The 3D chalk was a HUGE hit! My kids and my neices (and even my sis, bro, and mom) loved it! So fun!

We were actually in need of plates for the kids, so the dishes were perfect! And I love the colors.

Excited to try out the Alaskan sourdough too!

Thanks so much!
xo, Melanie F.

A Late THANKS to Melanie F.

Melanie, Sorry this is so late but we LOVED the swap you sent us. My kids loved the chalk and window clings. I get soo many complements on the "summer" letters and I want them for other seasons and holidays as well. Did you do them yourself? Do you have an etsy site? Seriously adorable! Thank you so much!

big {THANKS} to Chris!

THANK YOU for all the goodies!  I'm ready to leave for UT so I don't have time to take a pic sorry but I really do appreciate all the fun things you sent!  I was in love with the bowl that broke, it was so pretty.  You pegged my style 110%-you really did!! 

I'm excited to take advantage of your doll clothes in the future.  :)

PS: I welcome the challenge of the picture frames...after our 4th of July trip!

Savannah is the best! Thank YOU!

Savannah- You spoil us! You even remembered my Kitties! Thank you so much. Elora will look great in her new hair things and hat. The rainbow of Kool-aid made me laugh. I also happen to love sweet tart suckers. Elora will have to share with Mama. I loved the garden themed blocks. It was a delight to open your box. This is my first swap and I loved it. Thanks for introducing them to me.

Thanks Katie!

I love all the bright colors and the different fonts. It is so cute! I also can't wait to try out the hair bows, they are so cute.

To Beth

I'm so sorry it took me so long to get your package in the mail, but I sent it priority today. I hope you enjoy it. Here's a sneak peak of one of the things for you and one of the things for Elora.

Thank you Jodell....

I was so excited to open your package I tore it apart the moment I saw it:) My kids have already used there bubble necklaces and ripped open the chalk. Toady is such a nice day here- it has been raining for the last 2 weeks, so your gift could not have been more perfect for some outdoors fun!!! My kids are also OBSESSED with Toy Story so they both screamed when they saw the cute buckets and water squirters. And I will have to hide the reeses peices from my husband they are his favorite!!! Thanks again for all the cute stuff :)

Thank you Kelli!

I was having a REALLY bad day when my hubby handed me a beautiful gift bag with fun Summer swap goodies in it that he found on the porch! My baby girl had been sick for two weeks. Definitely a great surprise! Thank you for the darling block sign and cute little headbands! I of course instantly tried the brown and pink one on my little miss and it was so cute. Thank you!!! I'll try to get pictures up, too.

Thank You Megan Hilton!!!

I am so in LOVE with all of the items you sent! HOW did you know that I totally love aprons and socks?!? That fabric is SOOOO ADORABLE. I can't wait to make something fun with it. The matching flower is classic as well...all my favorite summer colors!! Oh and the goodies...PERFECT for the family movie night we had last night! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You....It was all just completely perfect. I will try to post a picture soon!

Have A Fabulous Summer!!!

Mahalo Sharon!!! Love it!

I got home the other day to find this box of goodies from my secret swap partner waiting by my front door! I love getting packages in the mail. I was so excited to see what kinds of summer things I got.


I love everything Sharon sent. I got a forth of July table runner as well as a plate and some cup cake holders that will inspire my 4th of July table scape. I also got some yummy cotton candy, my FAV and some kool-aid mix as well summery stickies. How did she know I live by stickies, they are all over my desk and folders. I think my daughter claimed ownership of this diva colored nail polish. Thank you sooo much for all the wonderful things Sharon!

Thank you Makalani

Makalani- I got my stuff in the mail!!! I love it so much! Thank you thank you!! The flowers are sooo neat and those cards are so well made!! I really struggle with paper crafts so I am very impressed when I see them so well done!! Thanks again! I am actually wearing the pink flower in my hair right now!!

Thanks Monica

It was so nice to come home to a big package..much needed after a 3 week vacation. Well....it wasn't supposed to be that long but vehicles can give you trouble at times and that's what mine did! So I love the necklace, picture frame and scrapbook paper and other goodies. Thanks a ton for putting it all together for me and my family.

(ps...is the one in the bag and container necklaces or braclets?? Just wanted to double check so I can put them together right, same with the material??) I love the colors and everything! It was perfect!! Will try and get pics up soon. Thanks again.

thank you beth!!

after i returned home from being out of town, i was excited to see i had a package waiting for me! i love that! and i loved what i found inside!

a premade scrapbook:

what an awesome idea!! i like scrapbooking, but i'm not that good at it, and it's so time consuming & expensive, that i think this was such a great gift for me! all i need to do is print out my summer pics & glue them in, so easy!

another cute gift-summer bags for my babies. they loved them! perfect for them to take to the pool! (don't mind my son's nudity! he likes to play wolverine & that inclues being shirtless ;)

my baby girl sporting her hair flower!

and last but not least, way cute hair flowers! and hibiscus...my absolute fave!!

thank you so much beth!! you did an awesome job!! love it all!

Thank you Meka!!

WE love everything! The boys have been snuggling with/throwing at each other the hedge hogs, which are so dang cute, by the way! and we have already made a batch of fun ice (Tyler calls it "candy ice"!) and how did you know our beach ball popped last week and it's on our dollar store list?! That b-day card is TOO cute! I love that I get to use it.

I LOVE all my fun hair items (I've so been in a hair-up, no need to take the time to straighten, mood, so they are perfect for dressing me up on the lazy days!!)

And what darling little bag with flower and shoes with flowers-- they fit!!

Thank you so much for all my fun gifts and goodies!

How cute are these flowers? Meka is super talented!

Thank you Kirsti!

Somehow my camera died...and I need to charge new batteries, so I didn't get any pics.

Girl, you must have been in my shopping cart or something when I was at Target the other day.  I saw all of these things and thought "my boys would love that, we need some of these..." But in the end I put most of it back because I was on a mission: DIAPERS, cash only.  No time for fun stuff.  Luckily, your package arrived today and low and behold, all of my fun items I wanted but put back!  How did you know?  (Seriously, I am not even trying to butter it up at all.  I really wanted to get these things the other day, but then I heard my husband's voice in my head).  Thank you thank you!  I can't wait to use all of these things, and I especially love my little make-up (or anything I want) bag.  You totally know what I like!

Thanks again!
Sare

Thank You Lyndsey! and bonus sneak Peek for JoDell!

This cute plaque matched Amber's decor perfectly! How'd you know??


Amber tries on her sunglasses... Perfect! This was my favorite part b/c we NEEDED some for her!


A picnic for two! (Actually there're four plates & cups)


My cats were VERY "helpful" with the unpacking...
See my blog for more! :) http://monicaberry.blogspot.com/

And a bonus sneak peek for JoDell! I got the package shipped at the last minute, but I paid the extra dollar for priority shipping so it should get there in a couple days! :D
