I always knew I had a soft spot for Canada!

This last month, I participated in Framed Frosting's Secret Blogger Swap.
I had so much fun shopping for my secret blogger - Jessica over at Jess.Is.More!

When a little manilla envelope found it's way to my mail box yesterday stamped "From Canada" I was intrigued and so very excited to see what was inside!


I am pretty sure Leigh-Ellen may have stalked me for a few weeks to pick all of these little gifts out (jk!) 
But in all seriousness, she did SO great at picking out some fun things that I would really enjoy!

A girl loves her accessories - and boy did Leigh-Ellen deliver!
These pink earrings are perfect for summer - so fun and bright!


I have been participating in Mani-Monday Link-ups with Heather and Heather - and my newest venture had been to try a chevron mani....both attempts I have had thus far have been even too horrendous to post!

But to my surprise, not only did she get my favorite color spot on, but I was given these nifty little chevron decals for my nails! You best believe I will be trying these out for next Monday!



This headband with nautical detail is so sweet - and is ultra comfortable (believe me, I slipped that baby on the first chance I had!)

...if I could have found a way to make hot pink and burgundy mesh well, I would worn both of them the next day, I was that excited!


She also outdid herself and included an adorable card, a Starbucks gift card, and a handwritten note.

The cherry on top was the gift of ad space -over at  Leigh-Ellen's page at Water Lily in a Big Pond!

What a great first experience in doing a secret blogger swap!
If all Canadians are this friendly and awesome - I think I may just take my little Canada pin that came in my package and move North!

Thank you So much Leigh-Ellen!
And Thank you to Danielle over at Framed Frosting for Hosting - I had a blast =)

  4. So glad it arrived! It was indeed a little envelope. Trying to save on postage for size so I could pay to get it there in time!
