i love doing goodie swaps!

my box of goodies sent from kara for the my favorite things swap. excuse the very poor, the very bad lighting.

now the fun part- opening the box wide open to dig in. kaylee gets just as excited as i do. see that colorful stripped material there in the box? you wont see it again- that was a belt made for kaylee and she's wearing it. she loved it and was super happy there was something for her. {thanks kara!}

a box of pasta and kara's famous sausage pasta salad recipe + a very cool belt made for me. {is it just me or does it seem like there are tons of talent+ craftiness coming from utah?!} going to pair it up with a white blouse and my "shpants" (short pants via mike)

all purpose towels- which i LOVE! a big tablet of scrap booking paper + rub-ons and some amy butler fabric. i'm thinking of re-doing the bench i got a few weeks back in one of these fabrics. add a touch of girly to the house.

and some utah gourmet popcorn-yum!

i ended up eating the whole bag. and will now have to start running to lose the 3rd love handle i got from it. this was so much fun and i love doing swaps. its like christmas or your birthday in august!

ok, i cant show you what i sent to kara, i'm waiting for her to get her goodies which should be any time now. i was a loser and didn't get it sent out in time! in my defense, i was still trying to come up with something crafty to add to the box of goodies.
