Thank you MOM for the never ending battle you fight as an Army Reserve... Thank you MOM for going to Iraq in your year of being deployed... Thank you MOM for being able to deal with work and life during your time in the military.... Thank you MOM for the gift of life!
While today is a great celebration for our soldiers who fight the never-ending battles, it's also a time to celebrate our reveal party for the Send Something Good project!! I know I spilled the beans in the beginning of the month with what I sent my secret blogger pal Kelley at A Crooked Trail, and then spilling the beans again a few weeks ago, showing you guys what I got from Gabby at Design Muse, but today is the official day we're all revealing our pics from Send Something Good!
What a great and fun way to get more involved in the blogging world!! Loved the entire concept and idea around it all. Thanks to these lovely ladies for setting it all up... Gentri, Kaitlyn, and Kristy! They matched us up with a secret blogging pal, which we were supposed to visit their blogs on the regular and get a sense of what kind of person they are... get to know the in's and out's of what they're interested in and what they like.
I had the privilege of getting to know Ms. Kelley at A Crooked Trail... a lovellly young lady who is full of energy and life, and is quite an adventurous, which I envy!! She is happily married to the ONE, and one thing I instantly learned about these two is their love for brewery. You must check her blog out at A Crooked Trail, and discover her awesomeness out for yourself! Here are a few pics from the package I put together:
The flip side to getting to know a secret blogger was having someone getting to know you and your blog!! I was lucky enough to have a sincere and thoughtful secret blogger like Gabby from Design Muse. When I received her package, my heart pitter-pattered by seeing how thoughtful she was with just the wrapping!! She used PINK duct tape for goodness sake!! Annnnnddddd there was a box full of gifts and gold tinsel inside! LOVEEEE it!
She wrote little notes on each individually wrapped gift on PINK labels, and she really pulled out bits and pieces of my life from my blog! I felt like I was receiving a package from a family member, that's how on point she was!! Here's some of the pics so you can peep her coolness out for yourself!
Welp, I know I covered a lot in this post, but then again, you have ALL day today to read it since you're off from work and/or school, right?! Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend!! Xoxoxo!
