#mugswap14

This year was my first ever mug swap with a cuppa kim.
I was super excited to participate. once my person was assigned I went searching for the perfect things to send her.
her instagram was private (I understood, mine is as well) and it took me a while to locate her on pinterest. in fact by the time that I did find her I had already got most of the items for her box.
she did have a blog that was very helpful. check her out here.
I found the mug first. I just couldn't pass it up. it was just too great with the spoon attached and such a cute little spot for it to sit. she likes nail polish, Swedish fish, diet coke (i enclosed a dollar for her purchase, i wasn't about to send a coke, talk about a mess) i knitted a scarf for her (my daughter helped me pick out the yarn, and enclosed a Katie Daisy notebooks, some Tazo passion tea and some Starbucks instant coffee packets, along with two fallish recipes that we love in our house and a note. 
 it was so much fun shipping for and packaging up this to send to Liz for my very first mug swap.
 about a week after i send Liz her package this little beauty was in my mailbox.
 enclosed was a cute apple mug, a crocheted dish cloth, soap, lotion bar, and apple spice packets. I am saving the packets for when it gets cooler here. they looks and smell amazing and i am tempted to tear them open sooner but i have a feeling they will be worth the wait. it was such a sweet surprise from a homeschooled teenager who participated in mug swap this year and just seemed as sweet a can be. Thank you Stephanie for blessing me with this lovely package.
excited for #mugswap15
Thank you Kim. What fun time this was.

    1. Hi Brittany. I got the mug at the dollar general, of all places. It was not my intent to get it there. I happened to be there for something else and came across the mug and just loved it. The spoon was the kicker. Thought it was so great.
