What a fun surprise to come home from work and have some good mail waiting there for me to open and enjoy! My Mellow+Yellow Swap partner, Karen, sent me the most delicious package. This was my first swap and I was a bit nervous about what to include in the package I sent to Karen, unfortunately I erred on the side of conservative. Don’t get me wrong, I like what I sent her but Karen hit the nail on the head with what she sent to me. It was like she had known me for years and picked out the things she know I would LOVE!
~The Mellow+Yellow CD she put together has the greatest songs – I love every single one! There is even a song sung in French that is very hip and mellow
~She put a stick of Burt’s Bees lip balm in the package and the best part is that she chose Champagne, the same shade I always choose, and I had just used the last of my current tube. Perfect!
~The Pink Nail file is adorable and timed perfectly as I have recently started wearing acrylic nails (I kept biting off my own!) and I like to keep them shorter than the manicurist does and this nail file does the trick and it’s pink!
~The little fish dish will be perfect for my used herbal tea bags on my desk at work. I have been using folded up Kleenex – not very classy.
~The birthday candles are timed well for my birthday month and will be fun to put in a cupcake for other birthdays throughout the year
~I love the print on the little note card
~I always keep a little note pad in my purse to write down random thoughts and this one Karen picked out is so cute with a very hip print
And the chocolates… sigh… what can I say… yum!!!
Thank you Karen! Sorry my package wasn’t nearly as fun – I will have to surprise you soon with some random good mail. I couldn’t have asked for a better swap partner!

Oh dear! You can't say that at all! I was delighted with your package and it was so thoughtful! I loved the pillow you made and with my favorite quote :)
Due to a rather hectic few months, I didn't take a picture, nor did I post, but it was ALSO my very first swap, and I was delighted. Thanks again!
