Eeeekk! I got my Vintage Valentine Swap package from Michele today!! You can pop over to her blog to see what I sent her.
What wonderful surprises were inside!!
See, even Gage is tickled by what his mommy got!! lol:)

I looooooooooooooove this frame she made with the glitter and beautiful paper inside with cream roses on it!! Good job Michele!

And my new love- pink and brown!! A notepad set! Thanks again Michele- you did an AMAZING job on my package; I am sooo lucky!!

I ran a couple errands today and picked up some things for my Valentine Crop this weekend! Some pink and red tablecloths, glitter to "bling out" our tags, red and pink ribbon and these pink utensils were $0.50 a bag; what a steal!!

I also found these paper conversation hearts to hang from the basement ceiling! Aren't they too cute??

I finally hung my old wooden shelf back up in the living room today and while I was cleaning out our pantry, I found a container that had my tea-cups and little knick-knacks in it!! I was wondering where they went!! DUH!

They Valentine bears above and the bear family below were some that I inherited from my "nanny" when she passed away. She loved bears and had a HUGE shelf in her living room with probably over 100 bear statues on it!

I freshened up the white paint and added a sheet of pretty rose paper and a pink ribbon to hang it. My mom said she think I should add something to it; maybe a bigger rose?? What do you think? I kinda like how simple it is; the white pops against our tan wall paint.

Sweet swap package, Noelle! I'm waiting till the last minute to mail mine off! :>
You did good on your frame make over! That paper looks a lot like some fabric that I have. Ya know what I think? I think if you like it just the way it is- you should leave it that way! :>
You've been doing great at the GW lately. I still haven't seen any V-day stuff at mine. I'm hoping to go today since Bobby's home.

Hey, did you see Priscila's give away? You get to name a second place winner and I chose you. :>
You got the best stuff! Maybe I'll have to participate in a swap someday. Getting a package of fun is alway great!
Just saw what you sent, I'll do a swap alright, but I want YOU to be my partner :) Great choices and beautiful work!
Hey, concerning the give away, yeah, fair is fair and maybe between to two of us we'll carry off some loot! Ha!
Noelle,

Now you see why these swaps are so addicting! lol Such a fun package you received from your swap partner, filled with wonderful goodies. After I finish commenting on here I'll have to go over and see what you sent her:-)
Love all the treasures you found at Goodwill. I was intending on going to a couple of thrift shops today after bringing mom back home but I was too pooped! lol Mom had so many places I needed to bring her, I was just too tired afterwards and just wanted to go home.
How special to have some of your gran's bears:-) xoxo
Hi...I'm Deb and I just had to come over and visit as you and Holly have such fun:)
I love your swap goodies. I'm also a thrifter and have to get a "fix" in tomorrow. Come visit sometime.

Hey Noelle! I was waiting for a new post to ask how the Taco Bake went over. Thanks for your sweetness about the password book. I've been keeping mine on slips of paper and thought, this is so stupid! I can think of a better way than this ☺
Can you send me your email address sometime? That way I won't have to keep leaving multiple messages on the same post everytime I think of something to tell you! I promise not to send you weird stuff! There's a button on my blog with mine, that you can use.
Where art thou? I hope your tummy isn't still *really* hurting?
