Hi girls! As promised, here is ALL the WONDERFUL goodies that my dear friend Holly from Girls at Heart, sent me for our one-on-one Easter Basket Swap! She is being good and waiting till Easter to open her package from me; I didn't have enough will-power to wait that long to open mine!! So here is the MEGA BOX that came in the mail; specially delivered by my mail lady who said, "Girl, you better tell me what you got in that big box!" Our mail lady is a RIOT! We love her ♥ So what was inside this big box that came all the way
from Virginia to me in Indiana???
A gorgeously wrapped Easter Basket... filled with lots and lots of pretties and goodies!
Here is my #1 favorite item!! Holly knows that I am obsessed with gingerbread's, sooooo... she made me a spring gingerbread bunting to hang in my home! It is SO CUTE! I am still trying to take better pics of it but we've had some gloomy days and I can't seem to get enough light in the room to take a good close-up pic! Isn't it darling?? Holly is so talented!
She hand-painted a letter N in pink and brown for me- which is my favorite color combo!
Everything was wrapped so cute! What's in here?
An adorable spring coffee mug and a super cute egg candle!
See Gage's lil finger pointing at it?
An adorable bunny face to hang in the house...
2 very lovely linen embroidered towels that I actually am using as "doilies"!
A new Paris inspired make-up bag (thanks Holly, I did need a new bag)
and some gingerbread lotion ♥
Here's my basket full of Easter loot!
Holly also took the time to hand paint these pink polka dots on the easter basket for me ♥
She also made this little cute birdhouse and painted it pink and brown!
A cute ceramic gingerbread ornament and a surprise goodie!
A pretty address book, a garden pick and a rose candle. (I also found another candle like this but in lavender hiding in the bottom of the box, after I took these pics!!)
Some cute easter ribbon and a marshmallow lollie!!
More candy, some cute sparkley egg ornaments and some pom-poms for crafting!
A close-up of the easter basket goodies... a white chocolate bunny, a plush bunny, and that cute pink and brown box had the YUMMIEST S'Mores inside- which now are all gone!!!
I LOVE this glittery eggs picks too; I put them in my springy centerpiece in the living room!
This swap was so fun too; they all are! Brian gets annoyed when I do these but he doesn't understand how fun they are and how meaningful these packages are to us girls!!
Face it, guys just don't get it!!
Well, today is house cleaning day and grocery shopping!! Tomorrow is my best friends 31st birthday and we are going to dinner for it. Sunday, Brian and I and our boys are heading to Chicago for 2 days to visit the aquarium and the big zoo! It will be SUCH a nice Get-A-Way! I think we all need it in this house:) Happy Friday all!!
Hugs,
♥ Noelle ♥

Hi! Ha-ha! I forgot about that Paris bag! It was just a GW find. And if that lotion isn't any good, I figured the Ginger bottle was cute. There were other things I wanted to make for you too but I figured they could wait until another time so I could get your box off to you. Glad you liked everything! ♥
Oh, I got your comment on the pay it forward post- I just didn't publish it.
Holly did a wonderful job, she always puts together such a great package!
I'm doing fine, just didn't get my button crafts done in time to publish yesterday and then spent most of it outdoors with ER so that's why no post.
Have a great time in Chicago!
Wow Noelle, that's a score if there ever was one!
Forgot to say HAVE FUN with your girlfriend and have a fun Chicago week end, too!
Omigosh, look at all those wonderful goodies Holly sent you...she sure knows you well:-) I can well imagine how excited you were taking everything out of the basket. Love the homemade stuff as well, she sure has talent!! You're right, men don't understand this stuff...which is just tough! hehe xoxo

And it all just kept getting better and better,cuter and cuter!!!!

Hey Noelle,

Have fun in chicago.
