Unboxing my Spring Swap Box! ¡Olé!

I’m having a fiesta with a group of snail-mail-loving bloggers and you’re invited! Wait… did you think I was talking about Cinco De Mayo? Well, technically it is Cinco de Mayo, which many of us Americans like to celebrate by eating Mexican food and maybe partaking in a little margarita sippin’. However, me, your friend Dean,  listening to Mexican music, enjoying a sporadic margarita, and eating Mexican food can happen on a random, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday- I think you get the point. 🙂

 

 

Don’t get the point? That’s okay there’s a post for you: What Are You {My Mom’s Ancestry results, which aren’t what you think they are.}

What are you?| My story or half it at least.

Sweet Progress Box Swap Party {Feista}

Although this party lacks the wonderful tastes of Mexican cuisine, it does pack a pretty lovely dosage of kindness, blogger love, and spring in the form of happy mail. You can check out the party in the Inlinkz below, because who doesn’t love to see a good unboxing right? Speaking of Unboxing, my friend Ashley, my other half in this blogger-to-blogger mail swap we host, is wonderful at unboxing— you HAVE to check her out!

Swap Box Goodies

But you came here to see me unbox my swap box goodies, didn’t you? Yes, you did, you want to see my goodies. Okay, you can see them, but first, l have to tell you about my partner. I was paired up with ECHO!! Echo, please tell me you know who Echo is? She is a hilarious and as real as they come blogger who I absolutely ADORE! Like a lot. She’s been around since I started this blog. She and I instantly clicked, I truly feel like I have a forever friend in her. Besides, she told me so. 🙂 No, take backs.

(I know, right!?! She’s gorgeous! Those eyes!!)

Although, Echo and I have known each other for awhile and have been in the same swaps, we’ve NEVER been paired together. I was excited to get Echo this time around, I couldn’t wait to go get her a few things to hopefully make her feel special. I’m all about self-care, even though sometimes I’m not the best at it. Anyway, so Echo, she totally makes me feel loved right off the back with her box. SHE WROTE THE SWEETEST LETTER. I was going to share it, but it’s mine, and I think I’ll keep it to myself. But here’s a lovely re-enactment of me reading it.

And then my heart melted some more.

Okay, so she didn’t send me a unicorn pug, but she did send me a pugunda! I’m in love with a furry guy who is half pug half bulldog.

So naturally, this little panda pug made my heart melt. He’s currently resting on my dash in my car because the real furbaby cannot always come with us.

He wants me to let you know that you can follow his bachelor life here.

Echo also sent me a *coffee mug, that’s something the two of us share an affinity for, coffee!

Along with my coffee mug, she sent me a spring blue nail polish *Sinful Colors: Rave New World, and a cute emoji lip balm.

But wait there’s more unboxing

I’m kind of a crafty-pants and my girl, Echo, gets that. She sent me *coloring book washi tape! I can’t wait to try it. Also, *ink stamps! I love that my stamp collection is growing.

Every MAMA, WOMAN, HUMAN, needs their own stash of chocolate, right? Again, Echo hooked me up. 🙂

Oh and one more thing!! I love this:

I have my very own *letter board! Love it. 🙂 And the kids must love it, too. 🙂

Thank you so much for my goodies, Echo! I love my box. And that Lindt Hello Coffee Blast chocolate bar* was AMAZING! XO

    Holy cow that was uplifting! I’m a big Echo fan too and I’ve gotten mail from her, and let’s just say it’s out of this world.

    Oh wow, you got some awesome items. I really need to get a letter board; they are just so cute. I’ve seen that mug around before – I got it for a friend of mine actually. 🙂

    […] I’ll be honest, everything Dean does is pretty, so I was a little intimidated to be paired with her, but I think I nailed it. You can see what I sent her HERE. […]
