My Valentine's Swap Package Has Arrived

When I heard the horn blew outside, I knew it must be the mail lady. I looked outside my door and yep, it was the mail. Talk about excited when I went out to meet her. She had a nice big package for me. It was my Valentine's Day Swap package. I could hardly wait to open it. This was my first swap that I did and I really enjoyed it. Thank you to Andrea at "My Chichuahua Bites" www.andrearhouse.blogspot.com for hosting it. She paired me with a sweet lady, Aubrey from "The Fam Five" www.thefamfive.blogspot.com who sent me these lovely gifts.
She had it so nicely wrapped and pretty. I think it's nice to get lovely packages in the mail besides those dreaded bills. Isn't it pretty, very Valentinian. :)
She got all of my favorites. Like my readers say, "it's just like Christmas."

I've been trying my hand at scrapbboking and I love it. I'm pretty crafty fanatic, so I love my scrapbooking paper. I can't wait to get creative with these.


I love anything with nuts in them. It can be peanuts, walnuts, pecan, cashews, etc. Any kind. I love them, and Aubrey hit the nail on the head when she got me "M & M's peanuts. Looovvvve it. OMG, thank you Aubrey!!



Oh, I can't tell you how much I love yarn. Whoo hoo, yay! I have a big stash and I love buying it. I'm always constantly crocheting something. Be it an afghan (blanket), a scarf, hat, pocket books, and lap throws. Crochet is my first love of arts & crafts. So I was very excited about getting these pretties.

By the way, I didn't specify what color I like and yarn to Aubrey, and she actually got the colors that I really favor. In the crochet/knit world we call it varigated yarn. This is a technical term that really says, it's a multi-color yarn. Those colored yarns of that type are my favorites. (I just had to put a little crochet lesson in there girls. :) I guess you can tell how much I love this craft.)







Here is my beautiful card that Aubrey sent me. I have to tell you the title, because it is so sweet. The front of the card says, You're all kinds of sweet! Then it has 3 tiers of a tray with lots of goodies on it. How sweet is that. It fits me, because I like to bake different kinds of sweeties. She sent me a journal, which I love, because I'm a writer and I constantly love to write things and jot things down. I'm going to make this journal, my "aspirations and dreams journal." When I get my dreams accomplished, they'll be a page where I would write down that I completed that particular goal. I think I'll also put in there how I'll go about making my dreams come true. That way I can look back at it and see how I did it. Last but not least, she got me some jewelry beads. I like to make jewelry, so I'll be using those right away.

Thank you so much Aubrey!! I really appreciate my things and I love everyone of them. Thanks for being a great swap partner. Happy Valentines Day!

Who's going out for dinner? Who's having a Valentine's party?

Whatever you do, I'd like to wish my blog friends, visitors, lurkers a Happy Valentine's Day to all of you. Make sure you do some thing fun this weekend and live care free, enjoy life and I want you all to have...

Peace & Love,

Treasure Ann
