My Goodie Box!



Recently, I participated in a swap over at Dandelion Wishes by Mamarazzi! My partner was Lisa from Like a Valentine! This was awesome. I was so excited the whole time putting stuff together for my partner. Then I was like a kid at Christmas when I got my package from Lisa.


There are some simple rules to the swap.... check out the next one that she does! Anyways... one of the rules is that you take pics and make a post about the goodies that you received. So.... I know these pics and some of the info are repeats from what I did in my 100th post, but I needed a separate post..... just for the swap!


These are my goodies as they came out of the box.....weren't they wrapped cutely? I loved the paper Lisa used to wrap it.

These are my goodies AFTER I unwrapped them! I got Devil's Food cake mix, white buttercream icing, and cute little cupcake liners. I got chocolate mints, note cards, recipe cards, orange soap....really smells like oranges. I have Aveeno lip conditioner and facial cleansing pads. I have S'mores flavored popcorn. I also have Vera Wang post-it notes! Lisa also included some Orbit gum and beautiful pink paper binders. I think at least one of those will end up in my date book to hold my place! She also sent me a personal card.

I don't know if you can see it or not from this picture, but the cupcake liners are from Macy's! I have never been to Macy's (although I love the Thanksgiving Day parade!!!)!!!! So this is the FIRST thing I have ever owned from Macy's! Thanks Lisa!




This is a picture of the VERA BRADLEY signature on the front of the post-it notes. I love some post-it notes! HOWEVER....these are especially cool because they are VERA BRADLEY.... and NO I have never owned anything Vera Bradley before either. And YES... my kid sister (also named Lisa) tried to steal them when I showed her!


This is (ok...WAS) S'Mores Corn. It's from The Popcorn Factory! I LOVED IT! Now.... if only I could figure out where to get some more! (I looked online....I will have to look again!!) You really should try it! S'Mores Corn ROCKS! (I think we should serve this at Girl Scout camp instead of making REAL S'Mores! I'm hooked!) Check out www.thepopcornfactory.com for popcorn gift ideas! I'm loving it!




This is the outside of the personal note Lisa sent me. Isn't it cute?


This is the outside of the notecards Lisa sent me! I love them! They are so girlie and cute! Don't you just want me to send you a note now?
I can't wait to see what Lisa thought about all the stuff I sent her! I hope she likes some of my favorite things!
Until next time........

Cute cute cute!! do they not have Macy's where you live? i thought they were all over the place...love love love Macy's. AND VB! AWESOME!

Ya know, these swaps are a LOT of work, but I love when people receive their packages and love what they get. Just knowing that over 100 women all over the United States are receiving packages of awesomeness this week thrills me!! Not to mention the bloggy friendships that are forming, it's just way too cool!

I am deciding between a Red, White & Blue Swap or another Favorite Things Swap for the end of June...did you vote? There is a poll on my sidebar!

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
