You know how I love buying presents?  Well, here’s some proof – I signed up last month to participate in a holiday gift swap, called ”Give what YOU want.”   

My swap partner, Jaimi, lives in California, not far from where I grew up – how fun is that?  After she confessed to LOVING this pin, I decided to send her a red rose themed present.  Because, hi, themes are FUN!  Here’s what I sent:

Holiday Swap 2007 - What I Sent

Cute, right?  I’m not going to lie, I wanted to keep these things to myself.  But boy, am I glad I sent them out, because karma has rewarded me!  The gifts I received are so cute and wonderful, and so perfectly ME. 

First off, how cute is the wrapping?

I love that Jaimi took the time to wrap up the presents so nicely.  Aren’t the geometric shapes great?

And then I opened up the gifts…

A slinky and magnetic toy to distract me at work!  Handmade stationery!  Fun bookplates!  Cute jewelry!  And some amazing handmade stickers shaped like tickets!

I’m just so happy.

    I told you I’m obsessed with Martha! Especially the Bluelines blog. I’m so sad that Blueprint magazine is gone, though!
