I signed up for a Christmas Exchange this year hosted by a couple of other awesome blogs I follow. You can check those blogs out at:Today is the day for the big present reveal & blog link up! If you know me in real life, you know that I actually like waiting to open my presents, so even though my package got here Friday, I didn't open it until this morning. I was paired with Lesley, from Kansas. She's a fellow dog-lover, and as I discovered when I opened my package this morning she's also a fellow tea-drinker!
For the winter fuel portion of the swap, she sent me several packages of Celestial Seasonings tea, including a couple of flavors I haven't tried yet, so I'm looking forward to those. She also recommends touring their factory near Boulder if you're ever in the area. Kevin & I like that sort of thing, so I hope we get the chance.
In addition to the tea, Lesley sent me some granola bars and some Lara Bars. I have never tried Lara Bars, but I hear lots of good things about them, so there's another treat I'm looking forward to. Side note: as I was checking out the Lara Bar website to link here, I noticed they have Gingerbread as a seasonal flavor. If I like these as much as my friends do, I will have to look for that one in the stores.
Finally, for the fabulous ornament portion of the swap, just check out this handcrafted ornament a friend of Lesley's made! Pages from a hymnal, a champagne cork... It's almost like she knows me - this is perfect & I love it!
I love love your ornament! Yay so glad you liked this swap. Hope you will participate again next year!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute + unique ornament! :] And hooray for tea! That definitely seems to have been a popular one to send off (and rightfully so, especially in this weather! :P )
