2012 Blogging Party Gift Exchange

Jan 31, 2012

Earlier this month, I participated in this little party where you get randomly paired up with another blogger out in the blogiverse.
Photobucket

We were each given the contact info of the other blogger and their websites (so that we could do some snooping.)
 Then you were to provide the other blogger with a little gift in the mail.
It turned out to be a wonderful experience, and I am so glad I participated.
It was SO FUN and I already wanna do it again!
I enjoy receiving gifts, almost as much as I enjoy giving them, and I was so blessed to be partnered up with this wonderful blogger:

Nat @ Take the Cannoli 

She is an absolute sweetheart who loves her precious kiddos and husband just as much as she loves Jesus!
I thoroughly enjoy peeking into her life in California and appreciate her insight into being a great mother and wife.


Go check out her blog here!
You won't regret it, and you may or may not want to move to California and kidnap, I mean babysit, her kids.

The party was hosted by these three other wonderful bloggers: Alycia, Casey, and Danielle!



My gift couldn't have come at a more perfect time.
I had just endured a pretty rough day at the hospital, and was thrilled to find this little package of happiness waiting for me when I got home!


(How precious is the wrapping and the sweet little heart? It's a pin! A pin that I will most definitely be sporting on Valentines Day)

I loved her little note, and especially her handwriting! What I would pay to have handwriting like that . . . 
(Sorry I couldn't return the favor with a handwritten note, Nat, you wouldn't have been able to read the card!)



I was so thrilled to receive one of her cross stitch pieces, because I absolutely fell in love with them from her online store.
I'm already making lists of which piece I will be buying all of my friends for birthday gifts!
Isn't mine the greatest?!?!?!?!



Thanks again, Nat, for your thoughtfulness! I'm in love with my gift!

If you love her gift as much as I do, then be sure to check out her online store to see all the other ones.
My personal favorites: 




Check back tomorrow to see a little DIY on my gift I made for the exchange!
Happy Tuesday, y'all!

That "Oh, Snap" cross stitch is absolutely ADORABLE. You ladies are both super creative :-)
