Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap

I was part of the Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap hosted by Miss Hollee-Ann over at Dandelion Wishes!!! And it was a total blast!!! My swap partner was Beka over at Monkeys ARDently In Sinc!!! I love getting mail/packages, I love meeting swap partners and that is just what the Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap was all about!!!

I was soooooooooooooooooooooo EXCITED to get my package before I left for the wedding!!!! Thank you Beka for shipping it early!!!! You ROCK!!! Sorry I'm just now blogging about it!!!! Life has been a little crazy busy around here!!!!

So here is all my goodies!!! I already see something I love love love - do you see it too??? It's the M&M's!!! I can already tell that Beka and I have something in common!!! I could tell that by the emails we were sending back and forth!!!

Check out the sign!!! It's my totally favorite thing!!! It's hanging in the kitchen!!! I love it!!! It's so me!!! I love everything she sent me!!! It was a GREAT package!!! I've already been using the yummy chap stick!!! I ate the M&M's the minute I opened the box and took this picture!!! HA!!! Oh and I ate the Skor bar too - it was pre-wedding nerves!!! Beka sent me a bottle of her favorite fragrance from Mary Kay - I've never smelt it but I really like and Beka said she has been wearing it for years!!!

If you would like to see the swap box I sent to Beka you can click HERE!!!!

Thank you Beka for a GREAT swap box and Thank you Hollee-Ann for hosting such an organized swap!!!

Another Valentine's Day Swap!!!

Yall know me and yall know I love me a good bloggy swap!!! It's been a GREAT way for me to meet new bloggy friends!!!!

Last year I joined THIS same swap and had a total blast!!! I'm still friends with my swap partner Stacy at Vader's Mom to this day!!! We are both follow Texans which is cool!!!

I would like to THANK An Island Life for hosting the Valentine's Day Goody Swap again this year!!!

Questionnaire:

What is your idea of a romantic Valentine’s Day?
I would LOVE to go to dinner at The Melting Pot!!! I've never been and I hear it's a great!!! I just wouldn't want to fight the crowd!!! So, I'm guess I would save this for another night!!! Hey, Mr. "S" maybe we can go for my birthday!!!

In reality, what is your Valentine’s Day really like?
Well, it was like THIS last year!!! I love doing a romantic dinner at home!!! I should do this more often...not just on Valentine's Day!!! This year I'm sure we will do the same thing!!! I can't see going out to dinner on Valentine's Day and fighting the crowds!!!

If you could have a lifetime supply of your favorite sweet indulgence, what would it be?
Snickers!!! I love Snickers!!! Which is totally off limits!!! I'm guessing I could eat the Mini Snickers and limit my daily intake!!! Is that even possible?!?! =)

Is there any sweet treat you absolutely do not like?
I don't like cinnamon!!!

If you fell into a pool of chocolate, how would you get out?
I would swim for my life!!! This is so NOT in my diet plan!!!

Click HERE to see my Questionnaire from last years swap!!! See how much I've changed!!!

Who is my Secret Santa??? (UPDATED)

I was on a mission yesterday after I received my SSS package!!! I wanted to find out who my swap partner was??? So who are you??? Don't keep me waiting!!!

Holy moly I hit the jackpot when I opened my package!!!! My swap partner was soooooooooooooooo soooooooooooooooooo soooooooooooooooo very kind to me!!!!

All I know is my *SSS* is from California!!!

I think she *might* have left me a clue here:

I'm thinking the Travel page that is hiding all of my goodies is a hint to *MY* SSS blog??? I could be wrong? I'm guessing *MY* SSS is "Travel Girl"? Do yall think the travel page was a *hint* or a *coincident*?

Look at all the stuff she got me!!!

The first thing I see is *MY* Atlanta Braves toothbrush - I start jumping up and down like a little kid!!! This totally ROCKS!!! At least for me!!!

Check out all my Bath & Body Sensual Amber!!! Oh how I love the smell!!! I used my body wash last night and I came out of the shower smelling all dreamy!!! At least I thought so!!! Mr. "S" still has a cold so he couldn't smell a thing!!! Poor guy his loss for sure!!! =)

To My Dear SSS,

Who ever you are I just want to say "THANK YOU" from the bottom of my heart!!! I truly LOVE every little thing in my package!!! You totally picked out things that are *ME*!!! Thank you for taking the time and money to create such a wonderful swap package!!!

I'm A Secret Santa Are You....

If your not a Secret Santa you need to join us in some bloggy Christmas fun!!! It's a little early for me to be thinking about Christmas only because I'm a HUGE procrastinator but I said what the heck! I'm going to do this! It sounds like sooooooooooo much fun! I'm all about fun and meeting new blog friends!!!

Decisionally Challenged is hosting the Secret Santa Soiree and if you want to be a part of this fun and exciting swap you have until October 18th to sign up!!!

This Secret Santa Swap takes me back to last year (around Christmas time)!!! It's one of the main reason's I started my blog!!! I would always read my BFF's blog ~ Giants Fan just to keep up with her day to day family life!!! I had no real idea what a blog was or how to use it?!?!? I was all about my myspace page at that time!!! Well, once I realized the network, friendships, camaraderie and compassion you all have in bloggy land I was hooked ~ it was like a huge internet family of GREAT ladies (at least the ones that I have ran across are GREAT)! Giants Fan warned me how easily I would be hooked!!!! Okay let me rewind - I got off track as I usually do - one of the many reason's I started this blog was the Christmas Ornament Swap that Julie hosted last year! Giants Fan blogged about Julie's swap and I asked to see if I could join in on the fun! Julie was great she let me join without a blog! Well, Giant's fan, Marmite & Tea and Julie encouraged me to sign up for a blog so here I am today!!! Almost one year later!!! All because of the swap!!!

Get on over to Decisionally Challenged and join the Secret Santa fun!!!!
