I recently took part in a fun gift exchange through The Enchanting Rose. This blog belongs to my lovely niece, Stephanie, and she always does such an amazing job hosting these exchanges.
This time around, it was a Christmas decoration exchange. If you have taken part in her past tea cup exchanges, you know how much fun they can be. When this opportunity came up, I just couldn't resist. Stephanie always does a fantastic job at pairing everyone up. Through this exchange, you will meet 2 new people. One will be the person that you send to, the other being the person sending to you. Many friendships have been made through these fun exchanges.
The person that sent a sweet package to me was Mary Anne from magpiesmumblings.blogspot.com. Mary Anne created everything herself and did an absolutely beautiful job.

She sent this adorable quilted Santa hot plate. How cute is he? (Sorry for the poor lighting lol).
Isn't this card angelic?
I just love the embroidered tree with all the embellishments.
And to make the package even sweeter, she sent some yummy hot chocolate and two flavored tea bags.
The person that I sent gifts to is Darla Bodnar. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of what I sent.
Another wonderful exchange Stephanie!

It's too bad you missed this one Andrea. I would have missed it too had it not been for Stephanie's mom. They're always a lot of fun. Best wishes to you and your family in the New Year. Kelly.

Hi Kelly...
ReplyDeleteI hope you're doing well! How did I miss this in my feed? What a fun exchange and what sweet gifts you got. I wanted to take part in Stephanie's exchange but we were traveling. Maybe next year. I was so glad to see your comment. Some how things got busy and we lost touch. Thank you for coming by! I'm glad to re-connect. I hope your family is well. Happy New Year!

What a delightful package. It's hard to believe that Christmas was almost 1 month ago. Time flies!
ReplyDeleteHello, friend! I just noticed it has been a while since you blogged and wanted to check in and say "hi!" I hope all is well in your corner of the world. Sending blessings your way!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Cheryl. There is a lot going on right now in my life but I sure hope that I can get back to blogging one day in the not so distant future.
ReplyDeleteI just applied for a Car Loan from Mr Pedro and his investment funding company and an Unsubsidized Loan. After doing some research on different lenders I chose Discover because they seem to offer some of the best benefits in the market (at this precise moment in time) at a 2% rate. Contact Mr Pedro on pedroloanss@gmail.com via WhatsApp: +393510140339. to apply for any type of loan.
