I WON the SWAP Lottery ♥


So I got home yesterday to find a HUGE box on my front porch! I literally ran up to the porch and grabbed the box! It was from my swap partner and sweet friend Katie; who was my partner for the Easter Swap Eggstravaganza that I hosted!!

Everything was wrapped very cute!!


OMG! She made this oval sign for me that was double sided!! One side was "Happy Easter" and the other side was "Happy Spring"! I love 2-in-1 things:) She used scrapbook paper and stickers to create it and it is just TOO PRECIOUS! Katie is very talented!!

She also decorated this sweet frame with pretty paper and added the little flowers that spelled out SPRING and then sewed HAS SPRUNG on it! This blew me away as well; I can't believe what a wonderful job she did!! I wish I was this crafty/creative!!


She also sent me this SPRING hanger that is now on my front door! SWEET:)


Here is what tugged at my heart strings the most... She made me a 4x4 Spring Memories scrapbook, with the pages ALL pre-decorated! Ugh, I cannot wait to put some pics in here!!

Look at how pretty these pastel colors are...


Looooooove it!


This little notecard explained that what was in this package was something bright and fun to take with me on our honeymoon...


Inside was this Scrapbooking Your Wedding Idea book...


and a pretty blue travel case for makeup, etc.


She also tucked a pretty and yummy lipgloss inside!!


And on the bottom of the package was an easter basket all wrapped up too!!


More lovely goodies...
2 Easter towels,
a Lemon body creme from Bath and Body Works,
2 sweet easter stamps,
Easter note paper and post-it notes,
a very pretty easter egg,
and lots of CANDY!!
JACKPOT!!!




I have been wanting to try my hand at stamping too!!


I love Lemon scented anything; and I always use a body creme/butter too!



I needed some cute Easter towels too!

Katie, thanks so much again! This package brightened my week so much:) You did an amazing job picking out and making things for me! Its like we've known each other forever!! Girls, if you have never taken part in any type of SWAP; I encourage you to do so! Its so fun making and buying things to fit your partners likes/hobbies! And , its TOO FUN getting your own SURPRISE in the mail too:)

See you all tomorrow for Scrapbook Sunday!!

Hugs,
Noelle ♥
