Stationary Swap: Part Uno

Yesterday, I received the most wonderfully, bight swap package ever. Thanks to Lou Lou in Lilly for hosting such a fun swap, and my incredible swap partner Kate from Nautical by Nature for the AMAZING package!

The blog world never ceases to amaze me! Kate knew how much I love to spend time in the kitchen, entertaining, my favorite colors, and even incorporates Lilly into the package. Look at what all she sent!


On less a less fun note, you have probably noticed that I have been more absent that usual recently. I promise it has not been by choice! With the first day of April being tomorrow, I am in the home stretch of college. This semester is my last attempt to redeem my grades to be able to graduate cum laude. In order to do that, I must maintain a 4.0 in all of my 14 hours. Well, the stress of this situation has begun to take a toll on me. In past semesters, I would have been fine with making an 88 on a difficult exam. Now, I am constantly feeling inadequate about my work, unless it is perfect. In the long run, it probably will not matter whether I graduated cum laude; but it sure would look nice on a resume ;) Hopefully things will calm down very soon with school and I will be able to devote more time to my blogging. I just wanted to let you know why there has been a lack of posting and commenting. Thanks for understanding!!

PINK SWAP!

Today both my partner and I received our packages from Kappa Prep's Pink Swap! What a way to start the weekend... it was such a treat to have a present waiting on me when I got home from school! THANK YOU CONSTANCE!!

Here is what she sent me...


It is all TOO CUTE!! I already put a picture of my BF and I in pink outfits in the frame. The cross is hanging over my door bedroom so that I can be blessed every time I leave! Also, I am waiting to put the luggage tags on my new luggage (please check back later this week to help... I have got to find luggage for a trip next weekend). And I am saving the bath mat for the new house... my shower curtain is a white waffle weave with a large pink monogram, so it will match perfectly (not to mention all of my pink towels)!! Oh and I loved the note she sent with it. It is the gerber daisey, which is my favorite flower!

Here is the package that I sent her...


I went with a theme for her package... including all things for the kitchen! I love the grapefruit soap and lotion from Williams-Sonoma, so I had to include that in there. Then the rest of the things were fun finds from Target including: pink and green dish towels, a pink heart kitchen towel, green scrubbers. pink and green dish gloves, and pink and green sponges, and the pink tub. I just could help but include a good amount of green in her package... it's just in my nature!! haha!
