Red White and Blue Goodness Has Arrived!!!

Red White and Blue Swap

The mailman delivered my Red, White and Blue package from my awesome swap partner Janna from Happiness is a Journey. Look at how the box is bulging with goodness! AWESOME!
A quick peak inside before ripping into the packages...
Look at all that red, white and blue paper...it took a lot of control to stop and take a picture...
WOWZER...Janna truly outdid herself putting together a not only creative package but also a very thoughtful one. She even sent stuff for my Jordan and my kitties (Big Daddy grabbed one of the bags of pretzel M&Ms, "these must be for me!!).
Here is what Janna sent me:
1. 16oz double walled tumbler with a RED straw...so green!
2. RED, WHITE and BLUE crazy straws...these help add to my cool Aunt status, the kids used these with lunch today
3. ADORABLE owl necklace with a gorgeous BLUE stone...more on this later
4. Matching Life is Good teeshirts for J and I...so cute w/ the RW&B flip flops!
5. Party Mix for the Kitties RED for grillside crunch and BLUE for beachside crunch...creative way to include them.
6. Kong RED, WHITE and BLUE crinkle rings for the Kitties...SUHWEET!
7. BLUE silicone star molds...I am dying to try these!
8. Woody from Toy Story!! BLUE pez candy dispenser...my nephew already stole it with a promise to share.
9. Pretzel M&Ms...yummy, and creative since they are in a blue package!
10. A new Jane Green book...again, creative with the theme, BLUE cover! Can't wait to read it!
11. A RED pot clip for holding a spoon...I have wanted one of these for a while, love it!
12. LOOK...a RED cookie cutter shaped like Texas, the state where Janna lives!
13. Fruit Spread...I have seen this on Janna's blog and I am so excited to try it.
14. True BLUE's ultimate cleaning gloves...housework will never be the same!
15. RED strawberries on BLUE sleep shorts plus a WHITE tank...pajamas for J, she is thrilled!

I LOVE everything Janna sent but the thing that really makes me melt is this DARLING owl necklace. I do not know how Janna knew but I have been looking for owl necklaces, bracelets and other owl accessories for a while now. Y'all know I created a PINK owl themed room in the hopes of filling it with some kids. I have made a wish on this owl necklace and I am wearing it right now. Thank you Janna for such a lovely gift. So thoughtful!!
Thank you Janna!! I love ALL of the RED, WHITE and BLUE goodness that went into this very creative and thoughtful package, you rock!!

So as your Red, White and Blue Swaptasticness arrives, come and link up your posts so we can all come have a look-see!

I felt like I hit the JACKPOT when I found that necklace! I KNEW it had to go in your package! I even double checked on your blog while in the store...I was 99% sure you were the one that loved owls! :)

I am so glad that you like all the stuff! I had SO much fun getting that package together...

The straws were for Big Daddy :) So he could keep on being the best when he brings you your diet soda with ice and a straw :)

Thanks for always hosting a great swap...but most of all thanks for being a great friend!

That's awesome! I never would have thought to include pets in the package! Come to think of it, I don't think I even included the kids...
Oh well, live and learn, right?
