I Sent Something Good!


As some of you might know, a while ago I participated in Gentri Lee's Package Pals.  I had such a fun time that when I heard about the new and improved version - Send Something Good - I just had to participate! Once again, I had a huge amount of fun and have very much enjoyed getting to know new bloggers around the world.

It is finally time to link up and share what we sent and received.




* The Secret Friend I was sending a package to:  Michelle from  On the Adventure
* I stalked until I found out that Michelle likes: Adventure & Travel, Winter, Triangles, Mountains, French Bulldogs, Pride & Prejudice and Glitter... to name a few!

So with my new found stalker knowledge, I set about making a few little things to send her way. All of what I sent was made by me and I've been waiting, and waiting until I could share these so I can post a few tutorials!
  






I tried to think about each of the things I found out about Michelle and included a bit of me into each of the gifts. Hope you enjoyed them all Michelle, I really enjoyed making them for you...



Send Something Good was round robin style, so a different person had me as their friend.

On the day I went to send my package off, I received one!
It was Rin of Papered Thoughts.  
At first I was super confused, because Rin had sent me a little letter as well and I remember thinking the name on my package was familiar and the post mark was from Australia.  Rin had actually followed my blog and written a comment asking if she could send a letter to me, but I never suspected her as being my secret friend!! 

When I got home and opened the package I realised the letter and the package were both from Rin and I was very surprised and happy! 

Now, before I show you the photos, let me just say that Rin is pretty much the queen of package sending and I doubt anyone got as many little surprises as I did!!! The package took me about half hour to unwrap and look through, I took 50 photos of the process (I wish I could share them all!) , and by the end my face hurt from smiling so much!!










Finally, I just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you to Rin for the package she sent, I loved everything in it and am so glad that I got her as my secret friend !!
