Spreading more L-O-V-E!

Earlier this week, I expressed my love for blogger gift swaps. I love them so much, that I did 2 this Valentine's season!

Twice the love, ladies! I'm one lucky gal :)

The wonderful Erin and Megan organized the Spread the Love swap:

I loved how they organized this, each person was assigned another blogger to shop for, but it wasn't necessarily the person shopping for you. So you got to meet two bloggers instead of just one!

Again, double the love, people. I'm a big fan!

I was fortunate enough to have one of the lovely hosts assigned to me, Mrs. Megan who blogs over at Table for Three.

It has been so fun getting to know her, and her family. They have the most adorable little daughter, Olivia. Head on over and check them out, will ya?

Megan definitely did her research, and sent me some of my favorite things!

Everything was packaged in a giant white box, isn't it fun getting big packages delivered to your door?

I loved the wrapping paper, unwrapping something always adds to the excitement of a gift. And I was so excited to see my favorite treats in there. Nuts, trail mix, and strawberry gummies? Not sure I've ever seen a more perfect snack collection. 

All of the snacks were in an adorable heart shaped bowl that I know will be coming in handy!

And love the nail polish color, can't wait to try it out!

Thank you so much, Megan! I absolutely love the gift!!

Happy Friday, friends!

If you've got a sec, stop by Ashley's blog to say hello and see what goodies I sent her!

Valentine Blogging Party!

Blogger gift exchanges are the best, aren't they? You get to know another blogger, get to have fun shopping for them, and get a lovely package delivered to your door? 

There's just nothing better than snail mail. 

Last year, I signed up for the 2012 Blogging Party and was paired with Kelly, who has since gone on to have the most adorable baby boy. (If you could use some more cuteness on your Instagram feed, check out @kellymann). 

When I saw that the party was continuing this year with the Valentine Blogging Party, I knew I had to join in the fun. 

Thanks Alycia, Casey, Nicole, Lauren and Ashlee for hosting! And for pairing me up with this wonderful lady: 

Sarah is a wife and a mommy to a cute little one, and blogs over at Random Thoughts & Feelings. She happens to live just south of me, so I know exactly what she's talking about with that 405 traffic. 

And not to mention, she picks out great gifts!

I love everything! And I know it will all be immediately put to good use. 

Especially the envelope clutch which she made! Girl is crafty too!

And her birthday was on Sunday, so head on over and wish her a Happy Belated Birthday, will ya? 

Love you guys! Have a wonderful Tuesday!

So I have an idea...

Back before summer started (ahem, where has the time gone??) the wonderful Elizabeth from E Tells Tales came up with the idea to assign pen pals. I was assigned Elissa from It's Only Life, and ironically the two of us started commenting on each other's blogs before we even realized we were pen pals.

E knows her stuff, because Elissa and I have really become friends over the past few months. Between e-mailing and skype dates, I know it's only a matter of time before we plan a trip to meet IRL :) Not to mention we each sent each other a package, and isn't snail mail the best?

When I saw this at my door last week, I was so excited to get some blogger love {the best kind, right?}.

So I got an idea. If getting this package made my day, I want to spread the love and send some Blogger Holiday packages of my own!

And I thought maybe others would want to get in on this, and we could get a Blogger Gift Exchange organized if we have enough interest.

So you tell me, what are your thoughts? Would you want to get in on this?
