I know Valentines Day is still a week away but it came early to my house this year!
Last winter, I did my first “blog swap” where you sign up, get paired with someone totally random, and trade something. The winter one was a mix CD of favorite Christmas songs. It was a blast so when I saw that some of my favorite bloggers were teaming up for a Valentines Day swap, I knew I needed to participate. I am so glad that I did!
I was paired up with Rebecca, an adorable and sweet blogger from Kentucky.
(Not going to lie that it’s more than a little ironic that I was paired with a Wisconsin blogger during my first swap, just as I was moving home, and a Kentucky blogger for my second, a few months after I made the move…)
Rebecca is a total girly girl and we had a blast getting to know one another via email so I couldn’t wait to send her package and get hers in the mail! I was not disappointed. She sent me some beautiful nail polish, gorgeous earrings, and a box of chocolates, along with a sweet little note that said she was sending “classy gifts for a classy girl.”
I seriously love these earrings! Don’t you agree?
I know I’m not getting jewelry from my man for Valentines Day so I’m glad I have a little girly bling to show off from this swap!
The goodies you get in the mail are part of the fun with these swaps but I will say that the best thing about them is getting to know another blogger. I’m so glad that I got to “meet” Rebecca. She’s pretty new to this blogging thing so make sure you stop over and show her some love! I can guarantee you’ll be seeing more of her. She’s a total doll and we’ve already talked about doing some guest posting and things like that!
So now here comes the real question… What do you really want for Valentines Day this year?



Dude. Where do you find these swaps? I want to get in on them next time – how fun!
For valentines day I’ve LONG been a fan of “Don’t get me presents, get me TIME. I just wanna hang out with you.” The mister usually interprets this as “take me on a date” and I know he likes an excuse to go out, but I’d be just as happy to sit on the couch with him for a few hours without anything else on the to-do list. We’re busy people and sometimes it’s nice just to reconnect.
I’ll let you know next time i see a can’t miss swap!
As someone who is already sick of the long distance thing – even though we’re way closer than we used to be – I would kill for a few hours to sit on the couch with J on Valentines Day. Unfortunately, I won’t be getting that OR jewelry this year
Loved participating in this swap, and meeting new bloggers too~
