Okay. I will admit that swapping is dorky. It’s like my sister hanging out in scrapbook forums when she rarely even actually scrapbooks. (It’s called Two Peas in a Pod or something.) Anyway, I’m just saying that I know it’s dorky and I gain pretty much no cool blogger points for running two swap groups on Flickr.
However, sometimes when a box arrives in the mail just for me wrapped with sparkly tape and heavily decorated I don’t give a damn. Swapping rocks my world. (Also as a note to self I HAVE to get better about wrapping my swap items up pretty. The ones I get make me embarrassed to remember how I wrapped my own. For next time I suppose.)
In any case my last swap partner was Bethany Actually and it would have not been possible for her to get my personality more perfectly.
People I am certainly not bragging, but holy crap. Seriously. Seriously?
Here is what my fabulous box contained:
1. A pictured drawn by Annalie. Don’t for a second think I didn’t instantly spot the pink bunny and cupcake stickers she included. Awesome!
2. Crocheted (by Bethany) arm/hand warmers. At my hideous office job they insist on cranking the AC until I am a sad little icicle of a receptionist. These will very much come in hand to keep me warm and still allow me to Twitter. Thank goodness.
3. Two Leaves and A Bud Tamayokucha Extremely Green Tea. This is SO delicious. I drink my tea plain with no milk or sugar and this is perfectly light with no bitterness. I am going to have to restock this when I run out. (Which will be soon as a hot cup of green tea has become my new night routine since I got this.)
4. World Market chocolate bars. One in Pomegranate Dark Chocolate and one in Chili & Lime Dark Chocolate. One of my very favorite things is fancy weird chocolate. I have been eating one tiny piece a day of these. They are SUPER tasty. The heat of the chili one definitely takes a minute or two to hit. Fantastic.
5. Hand painted (by Bethany!) Ceramic Bunny Bowl. Oh how much this meant to me. I think the bunny looks like my Penelope and I just heart this bowl so much. It will have a place on my dresser holding favorite pieces of jewelry.
It was just a very touching box to open and I was amazed at how much I completely adored every single item it contained. Thanks again Bethany!
Also my hair appointment is at 3:00pm today. Don’t worry, I’ll be uploading photos.
