Stocking Swap!

For something fun and completely unrelated to my blog I want to share with you all something I just participated in. My very first blogger swap! Basically, you get paired up with another blogger and depending on what the swap is you get to know each other and then you swap something while also making new friends! The swap I participated in can be found over at Life with the Hawley's. We were swapping different stocking stuffer ideas! How fun, right? And perfect timing right before the holiday season to get a ton of new ideas for stockings this year.

Well I got paired up with Erin from over at Enamored and Elegant! She is so sweet and has just the cutest blog! Definitely go check out her blog, I think you will love it as much as I do!

She definitely SPOILED me with my package! :) She included some of her family traditions while also sending me a piece of Ohio. I LOVED it all!

Look at all this stuff she gave me!? 

The sweetest note, some tasty sweet treats, a portable shopping bag, jewelry, nail polish, and HOMEMADE sugar scrub!

Her note explained everything I needed to  know!

Here is a picture of the fabulous homemade vanilla mint sugar scrub. Seriously, I wish you all could smell how delicious this sugar scrub is! It has filled the whole bathroom with a yummy fragrance! I can't wait to pamper myself!

These were some of the handy things Erin included in my stocking. She explained how her family likes to include silly items which also double as very handy! I love that idea! Now I have a USB man and a tie clip!

These were those yummy treats I was talking about! In fact, as I type this I am enjoying the pretzels you see there, hehe. She also included a taste of Ohio with the Buckeyes you see in the back. I thought that was very special and creative. I can't wait to try my very first official Ohio Buckeye!

Erin also explained how her family always gives chocolate oranges! It sounds super scrumptious so I will definitely be trying that this year. You should too!

And last but not least some fun girly items! What girl doesn't love getting new bags, jewelry and polish!? It was perfect!

I'd say Erin and her family have some wonderful Christmas traditions and I love how she shared them with me! Thank you so much, Erin! I am so glad we got a chance to meet. And thank you too, Darby for holding the Stocking Swap! Definitely go check out their blogs! I am definitely full of Christmas cheer already!! 

Merry (early) Christmas, Y'all!

  4. I'm so glad that you liked it all! I loved getting to hear about your holiday traditions too. IT was so much fun! (Asher hopes you don't mind the love bite on the polish. He had been carrying it around the house for about 5 minutes before I noticed... I think he just wanted his nails painted that fab red.)
