I am sooooo excited!!!
It may be overcast with scattered showers outside today but it is SPRING up in here!!
My package arrived from the ever so fabulous Sami from Symmetry In Motion . And let me tell you this package of Springy awesomeness is just that
A-W-E-S-O-M-E.
Seriously awesome.
I opened the box to find a lovely letter written for me from Sami...very sweet. (clickety to biggefy)
All of the goodness was wrapped in Springeriffic tissue and they were adorned with creative little limericks explaining why each item was chosen...yes really...a clever poem on each item. Umm yeah, she rocked my swappy face off! (I had already ripped open 2 gifts in my excitment, you would think I had never done this before)
you can click on each picture to make them bigger and bask in the pure awesome of her poetry, seriously...very clever...
mmmm, yes...chocolate goodness. Fear not I will consume it in moderation AND I will share.
more, more, more...yeah, she was super generous....
Check out this VERY thoughtful gift....I LOVE THIS!! I am a ball cap wearing mama and to have a PINK one with a camera on front and my pseudo name on the back...so cool! I can't wait to rock this!!
Here is a collage of everything she sent...allow me to brag a little further...
1. PINK Dahlias...I can't wait to get these in the ground and enjoy them year after year
2. Cute little flower pot, "To plant is to have faith in the future" I love that sentiment!
3. My super awesome Mamarazzi hat
4. Yummy sounding BBQ sauce, can't wait to try it!
5. Flip Flops...the girl must know me, I wear flip flops 8 months of the year.
6. Cinnamon for cinnamon rolls she makes them for General Conference every Spring...awesome right?
7. A PINK umbrella...seriously, how did she know?
8. Kleenex...so handy!
9. Mr. Clean Magic Erasers...I sent her some too! Funny, Spring cleaning...pffft!
10. Grasshopper Cookies...you mean i can have "thin mint" goodness year round? Where have these been all my life?
11. Cadbury Creme Eggs...never tried them, can't wait!
12. Reese's Easter Bunny...helloooo lover.

As if all that wasn't awesome enough...
Sami also sent me a gift card for my Birthday...so thoughtful and generous! And it is for more than $3...suhweet!
This truly goes to the top of my list as far as Swappy goodness goes. Can you believe this was Sami's FIRST swap ever? How lucky am I? Sami, thank you so much for putting together such a thoughtful, creative and generous package...you out did yourself and I am forever grateful. I am so loving getting to know you via your blog and enjoy basking in your bloggy goodness.
Today is also Sami's birthday...if you want to wish her some happiness and see what I sent her click HERE.
Thanks to shortmama from Family of Shorts for hosting such a fun swap. I know how much hard work goes into organizing these swaps and and the stress and worry that sometimes follows as you cross your fingers that everyone who sent a package receives one in return.

Holy swap Batman!!! She puts us all to shame!!

awesomeness! holy cow that is rad! love love love the hat! be sure to post a pic of you rockin' it!
Sounds and looks very fun.
Wow, I am a little in awe of everything I just read and saw...both of Sami's amazing generosity, creativity and FUN, and of your response. She must have really studied you to know what you would like so well. And can I just say that while she may have been the most fun swap partner you've ever had, YOU, my friend, are the most wonderful recipient EVAH! I reminds me of a line from Pride and Prejudice where Elizabeth is talking about Mr. Collins, and says that Lady Catherine could not have bestowed her kindness on a more willing recipient. I know that is obscure. Sorry for disappearing into my Jane-Austen-love for a moment. Anyway, This looks like a match made in heaven all the way around!
Ok, how totally original is that hat?!? :-)
Wow!!! Great stuff in your swap package! This swap has been a blast!
you got some awesome stuff! Love the swap idea from F.O.S.
Wow, awesome swap! How cool is it that she made you a hat!
Wow! Seeing it in pictures, it looks like a LOT! Seriously didn't seem like that much when I was putting it together! Sad thing is, I was cleaning off my dresser yesterday, and came across a shopping bag that I'd forgotten about. Yeah, there was one more thing I'd forgotten to send you. Not sure I could have fit it in the box though! Seriously, had so much fun putting together a package full of spring awesomeness for you. And whoever said it in a previous comment, hit the nail right on the head...I couldn't have given it to a more willing recipient! It was my pleasure!
Wow! What a fabulous swap! I'm in awe of the spring-y goodness.
Major jackpot! WOW!!! I'll have to get in the swap next time. Can I request Sami? haha :)
Awseome! I had such a great time at this swap... its my first one; but I will be doing it again. It was just so fun.
