Back in January, I signed up for another swap! Swaps are so fun to do! You get to "meet" and know another blogger, and then you get a box of awesome goodies!
A big thanks to Kristin and Meg for hosting!
I was paired up with Celia from the Houck Diaries. It's been great getting to know her through all of our social media sites!
These photos were actually taken with my iPhone 4S, and they don't look terrible! :)

| Loved the pretty tissue paper, and the cute card! |
I got such great gifts in my package!! I'm sure you'll all be surprised to know that I did NOT immediately devour that Reese's heart. I'm saving it for this weekend. :)
There's also a yummy smelling candle in vanilla biscotti, a cute "love" mug from Pier I, this adorable little note pad with birds on the front (they each have a speech bubble that says "tweet"), and this great pad for meal planning!
Celia was certainly doing her research on me. She totally hit the nail on the head with everything in my box, and she even worked in some purple with that tissue paper! :)
The funniest part is that she included that meal planning sheet in my package that was mailed DAYS before I posted this tweet:
I NEED to start #mealplanning. When I don't, I eat a bunch of crap & am not satisfied. Life is too short to not have a meal you love! 😌

She must have been reading my mind. Scott and I desperately need to go grocery shopping. I'm not sure how we always end up doing this to ourselves. We somehow end up waiting until we have practically no food before we go. It's something we like doing together, and inevitably, we always need to go on a weekend when Scott is working. :-p ANYWAY, I'll be certain to start using this right away!Thanks for all of my awesome goodies, Celia!! :)
Have you ever participated in a swap before? What's the best gift you've ever gotten in a swap?
I'm also linking up today for Live & Learn Thursday because I learned what was in my Sweetheart Swap package! (See what I did there?? ;) )

Wow I love what you received, especially the big Reese's heart!! Thanks so much for participating :)
I absolutely LOVE the meal planning notepad and lucky for you.. you don't live closer because that candle might end up missing, and show up in my house ;)
Fun!! Looks like you got some great stuff! I love doing these swaps! :)
So fun and cute. I am shocked that you didn't "sample" the Reese's heart
Mm...I love Reese's, so that heart looks fantastic. Looks like you got the perfect package!! :)

I love all those note pads that they have out now. I use the "What to Pack" one all the time and find it will not allow me to forget anything! What a cute gift box!
Gosh, I love the mug. I have a weakness of mugs. Thank you for joining in!
sweet gift, nice when someone pays attention and sends a gift like this
That looks like a great package. I love mugs, I have waaaay too many!
Oooh, super clever way to link up with L&L! Love it!! And what an adorable, thoughtful box! I did two swaps recently (and I had never done them before) and I had so much fun with it!
