The Third Annual Great Pumpkin Swap: REVEAL!

I don't know about you, but I love getting mail.  I have always loved getting mail, and mail is even better when it's a package full of goodies!  For this, and so many other reasons, I'm so glad that I got to host the Great Pumpkin Swap with Kristin again this year!

Last year, we had an odd number of participants, and Kristin graciously took on a second partner.  We had an odd number again this year, and I took a second partner this time.  That just made things EXTRA exciting since I had two packages to look forward to!

My first partner is Ann from Annster's Domain.  I loved Ann's enthusiasm for the swap.  As it turns out, Ann is also from PA, and she's not too far from my little town since she lives near Pittsburgh!  

Isn't this a great box of treats?  Here's what's in there:

1. Orange Halloween/Fall lights (These arrived in the nick of time.  One of the sets I have to decorate my classroom burned out while I was decorating during the first few days of October.  These lights have taken up residence on the white board at the back of my classroom!)

2. Scarf

3. Halloween socks 

4. A bag of Reese's Minis

5. Caramel Apple Twizzlers

6. Nail polish

7. Gushers

8. Caramel Apple Lollipops

9. Ghirardelli Chocolate minis- Milk Chocolate Sea Salt & Almond

SOOOOO good.

Thanks for a great box of treats, Ann!  Be sure to visit her blog today to see what I sent in her swap package!  :)

I also got to be partners with Micah from Unabashedly Me.  

Here's this box of goodies:

There is a box of tea, an infinity scarf, purple Halloween BOOT SOCKS, Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins, and an Essie nail polish you can't see from the photo.

I immediately fell in love with this scarf.  I posted a picture of it on Instagram, and stated that I would probably wear it the following day.

I did.

And dear Lord, please ignore my disaster of a bedroom in the background.  I need to find a better place to take these pictures....

And, of course, be sure to stop by to visit Micah today to see what was in the package I sent her!!

I can't wait to see everyone's goodies!  Please link-up with us below! :)

So sorry...

This will be brief.

I am here today to let you know that I am still alive.

Yes, yesterday's post about The 3rd Annual Great Pumpkin Swap was scheduled.....before school started.  Did you sign up yet???  What are you waiting for??

I am really struggling to get back into the swing of things with teaching, going to the gym, and life.

Then I got a cold.

Which is another reason why this is brief.  As I write this, it is about T-minus 5 minutes until I go take some NyQuil and go to bed.

I promise that once I get the hang of all of this, I will come back to tend this little blog of mine.

I hope you are all well.

Before I go, I am so sorry for...

...neglecting my little corner of the internet.

...being behind on reading YOUR blogs.  I love all of you, and I'm trying.  I swear.

...this pathetic excuse for a post. ;)

I'm NOT sorry for plugging the swap again....go sign up.  Now! :)
