Mail's Here Mail's Here

Here's the mail it never fails it makes me wanna wag my tail when it comes I wanna wail MAAAAIL!
Sorry, everyone should have to suffer that song at least once. Doesn't everyone love good mail? I enter giveaways and exchanges to get it. They're doubly exciting because I get the thrill of shopping for and then mailing something (ok, that part's not the funnest part) and then, ooooh mail.

Here's what those fine folks at the USPS brought to me today...

Gorgeous Christmas ornaments from Rachel at Something to Blog About. She received my name when she entered Abbilyeverafter's Ornament Exchange.

See? FOOD for my tree, did she get it right for me or what? They sparkle (and you know how I love glitter and sparkle). The photo does NOT do these justice, they're lovely. Thank you Rachel!

Next was this bulging box from Jeannie's Happy World. This brilliant exchange was hosted by Mamarazzi from Dandelion Wishes, "Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap".
Can you see how Jeannie hooked me up?! I just have to sell off the children so that I can slip away and pamper myself now. Included in the box was her very own cookbook, a cranberry candle (YUM), Burt's Bee's Lip Balm (my lips are thanking you Jeannie), bath pillow, moisturizing socks and gloves...really, it would take a whole post to list it all, can you see all of the stuff in here?! Note to future swappers: If you draw my name, cry "foul!" because I can guarantee you, my box did NOT look this nice.

And last, but certainly not least... I think I choked up a little on this one....

I actually WON this lovely piece (movie companion) of THEMOVIE I'MSTILLWAITINGTOSEE ~sniff~ from Julie over at My Journey to Family. You know how you win things folks? You latch onto some poor soul and stalk them like they're the only blogger for you Perseverance people, perseverance. Thank you Julie!!

See, I have good days too. Of course it will be hard to beat this one....
What have you received in the mail lately?

  10. I totally get you! I just won an adorable Thanksgiving platter from Suburb Sanity.

    And I'm SHAMELESS in asking friends and family for postcards. 1, because I travel vicariously through others (hello, small children here) but 2, because I covet fun mail.

    Blessings, Whitney

  15. Lately, I've gotten a couple of Christmas party invitations, but nothing so great as what your mail brings you. Apparently I'm not the multi-tasker I imagined myself to be...

    I aspire to be Jeri!
