Cool Swap Goodies

It's been a long time since I participated in The Homeschool Post's Swap (mostly because I'm a horrible slacker!). But I decided it was a good time to jump into the swapping fun again. I was very blessed to be paired up with Raven from Discover the Child. My package arrived today and it is awesome! She was so sweet and really personalized everything.

• Starting at the top left is a clip of the inside of the adorable card she sent. Aren't her doodles just the cutest thing?
• Going clockwise, the next item (top right) is a package of scrapbooking rub-ons. I love these! The colors are bright and fun and rub-ons are one of my favorite accessories in scrapbooking.
• Continuing on in our clockwise circle, we have some very cute polka-dot cherry napkins. These will definitely look great on our picnic table out on the patio.
• Next comes the Dr Pepper lip balm. Mmmmm....you all know how I feel about Dr Pepper.
• And working on around, at about 7-8:00 we have a Citrus & Ginger Root body bar from Burt's Bees. I currently use a couple of Burt's items which I love, so I look forward to trying this out.
• And last, but not least, at 9:00 . . . DRY ERASE MARKERS!! Woo hoo!! I posted this lovely gift from a friend a couple months ago and these are just what the doctor...er, teacher/mom ordered! Notice the pink marker? I'll never have to worry about my boys nabbing that one. HA! HA!
• Everything was lovingly wrapped in purple (my fav color) tissue paper.

Thanks so much, Raven! You're a wonderful and thoughtful swap buddy!!

I'd better be getting your package in the mail pronto!
