Fall Blog Swap Reveal and Other Friday Schtuff!

Happy Friday, friends!

A few weeks ago, I signed up to participate in MateyaCaroline and Molly's Fall Blog Swap! and Caroline are the fun blog friends who I vlogged with. (Vlog still sounds funny to me).

I was paired with the fantastic Neely and can't say enough positive things about our pairing! This swap allowed me to make a great new blog friend who I have TONS in common with...annnnnnd I got some fantastic treats! We live just a state away from each other and the next time I get my booty to Dallas, I will totally email her to see if she's free to meet up! (There's your warning, Neely! ha!) 

My package arrived Tuesday and I eagerly tore it open, trying to remember to take a few photos... :)
I saw earrings and candles first thing and was immediately thrilled! And I saw a card and realized I'd completely forgotten to enclose the one I got for her! Blerg. It's on my dresser.  Sorry, Neely. :(

As I took out my swap items, each one made me smile! Check out my treats!  Essie nailpolish (gorgeous color! Called wrapped in rubies), two yankee candles, three pairs of earrings, a burts bees lip gloss, a very Jackie-esque sign and a $5 Starbucks card!
I'm glad glad I snapped the photos right away b/c um.. one of the yummy smelling yankee candles has already been already  in my room, the earrings are in my jewelry box (and have been worn!), and the lip gloss is in my purse... I didn't waste any time...hah!

Many thanks to the swap hostesses and especially Neely b/c this package totally made my week last week! :)

*************
And another fun note on Friday...I have had a palm pixi for awhile now b/c I've been with Sprint. I didn't want to leave. I mean, that requires contract breaking, more expense, blahidy blah. And I've never disliked Sprint's network, just my phone. So, when I heard they were getting the iPhone, I was all.over.it. I've been waiting, people.

So, I got up this morning and headed to the Sprint store just to see if there was a crowd. There were only 15 people in line, so I opted to give it a shot. Glad I did! I am now the proud owner of a brand spankin new white iPhone 4s! So far, we're still getting to know each other, but I can tell I'm already falling in love. :)



Happy weekend, friends!
