Splendid Swap Party Reveal: Summertime Favorites

Today's the day of the first Splendid Swap Party reveal!  If you participated in this swap, make sure you add a blog post or Instagram photo to share everything you received from your new bloggy friend! In case you missed it earlier this month, Dannielle, Patty, and I started the Splendid Swap Party for bloggers to meet new friends and swap packages filled with their favorite things.  If you'd like to get involved, our next swap will be this December, around the holiday season.

I was paired with Kate at Daffodils.  She is a fantastic lady with a wonderful family, and I had so much fun shopping for all of them because I had a chance to include both childhood and adult summertime favorites!  In return, Kate sent me an amazing package full of her favorites.  I was so thrilled with everything [especially for the move]: the candy was eaten within the first 3 hours of the drive, the Burt's Bees was perfectly travel-sized to use without unpacking everything I owned, I enjoyed a wonderful margarita after my first day of work, and the Essie "Rooarrrrrrange" polish matched my second day of work outfit perfectly!  Thanks, Kate!

Here's a sneak preview of what I sent Kate; head to her blog to check everything out!

Also, thank you to everyone for the well wishes yesterday!  If you missed it, I accepted a new job in South Carolina and start in less than 3 weeks... craziness!

Happy weekend, friends!  

Welcome! A Splendid Swap Party!

It's no secret that Dannielle, Patty, and I love blogging.  Not only is writing and sharing our lives so much fun, but we truly value the relationships and friendships formed through our blogs.  We thought it would be fun to start a twice-a-year blog swap to help even more bloggers connect and interact.  Titled 'A Splendid Swap Party,' our swap will run once in the summer and once around the holiday season in December.  Each swap will have a different theme, and the first one will be Favorites of Summertime.  We hope that many of you will make new friendships and even just find some new blogs to read!

Guidelines: - Sign up between today and Friday, June 6 with the Google doc below. - Swaps are open to US residents and military families overseas with APO addresses. - Grab our button, if you wish, to help us spread the fun! - Receive your partner by Monday, June 9 and begin to email her back and forth/stalk her social media to learn about her. - Go shopping and get crafting!  Spend between $15 and $25 [before shipping] to buy and make your partner a package full of your favorite summertime things that you think she'd enjoy. - Mail your package by Monday, June 16. - Link up with us to share what you received from your partner at the end of the month [date TBD].
