By now you should know that I am a co-host over at the blog swapping blog, Chaotic Goddess Swaps. My partner in crime is the fabulously talented Beth over at Printcess. We've been friends for so many years, and it turns out our working relationship is just as great because we balance each other out. I design and market while she plans and keeps everything in good running order. I'm so grateful for that because I have very few organizational skills. lol
If you're not sure what a blog swap is, it's where you get matched up with another blogger for a themed swap. You get to know your blogger, and then you each send each other packages within that theme. It's so much fun! Recently we hosted our Favorite Color Swap, a swap where you send your partner a box of goodies in their favorite color. I was matched up with Erin from Erin Everyday, her favorite color is Purple and she loves elephants. See what I got her HERE.
My favorite color is Teal, and here is what she sent me:
The package included a turquoise bracelet, a wood glittery bird, a small stuffed turquoise elephant (funny thing, I almost bought her one like this but they didn't have any in purple at the store!), a cute little birdhouse (with glitter inside and a floral roof), a clipboard with a floral background, and some turquoise skull earrings (man, I have a think for these little skull beads!). It was such a great package and she really picked, and it looks like she made (did you make the wooden things Erin?), things that I totally love. She was such a great partner!
Thank you SO MUCH Erin! I love it all!
Yay, I'm so glad you liked everything. Yes, all the wooden items were decorated by me, and the earrings as well were made by me. The elephant came from my collection, because I was so excited when you said you were also slightly obsessed with them I just had to send you one. I hope to do another swap soon. I had so much fun with this one.

I love what Erin sent you! ALL OF IT. That elephant is too, too cute. And the bird feeder is perfect for your new place! It looks like she made it (in which case, Erin...tutorial, please?). Yay! What a great package.
