swapped and scored

I joined up with Shortmama's spring swap. B from The Nabors Baby was my partner. She was kind to mail the package via priority mail but apparently the postal service saw the "P" in priority and thought it was pony express because it took more than TEN days to reach me. Sigh...


But...all good things are worth the wait. Look what I received:

How did B know that a couple of weeks ago I told Bug we needed to get a bird feeder so we could watch the birds in our yard? Also, I keep a journal of some sort with me 99% of the time...and now I have a new one for my purse...and I have very cool pens! (I had to wrestle them away from Bug this morning...ALL pen/paper products should be his, who knew?) I love dips and there's a cheesy bacon dip to make (wanna come over and share it with me?). There's a travel book for Bug (again...how did she know that we're planning to drive 8 plus hours to Boston in a couple of weeks?). I also got a set of lotion, hand scrub and body wash (fabulous!), bandannas (fun), water bottle (perfect to take with me on bike rides) and pecans (I LOVE pecans!) and a really, really cool lunch bag that I packed up my lunch in today. Thank you, B!

  1. Wow! What a great idea! You received such thoughtful things, would love to join in next time :)

    Oh and I hear you on the pony express thing, at least that's a step up from courier pigeons which is what they still use here :)
