Summer Swap & A Weekend Get-a-way!

So my swap partner lives in Canada - little did I know that shipping takes WAY longer!  So I mailed out on the deadline date and I know she has since received the package - I'm sure she'll post when she has the time.  Joanne... HOLY SHIT - so... as I went to go find her blog link so that I could link to her, I discovered that her blog has been removed... sucky.

Sooooo... I guess that's pretty disappointing.

I sent her a pair of Teva flip-flops - which is a HUGE summer staple to me.  It took up most of my budget, but I was able to get her a couple bottles of nail polish in pink (her fave color), and a pack of Giants Sunflower Seeds - all things that are truly summer must haves for me!

Here is what I got:

She sent me an awesome magazine with summer recipes - which I do plan to tackle at some point.  Also 3 bottles of nail polish (green, pink, orange - my favorite color combo) which I just used last night to do polka dots on my toes (pink toenails, with orange and green dots), absolutely LOVE the colors!  There is a nail file there, which is always good to have around.  Then, the part that I'm most excited to try is the candy!  There is some candy that we don't have in the States - so it's kind of like a super treat - plus some sour candy, which I live for!  I seriously LOVE everything :)

So.. sorry this is so late, I got the package late last week and just finally had the time to photograph and post!

Tomorrow I'm leaving for Missouri for a long weekend with one of my favorite people.  Renee has a pool in her backyard, and rumor has it it's pretty hot and humid down there, so I'll likely come home with a nice tan/burn.  I'm excited to see her and her family, but I'm honestly pretty sad to be away from Steve for 3 nights!  I'm addicted to him.  I probably won't be blogging while I'm gone, but hopefully I'll return with lots of pictures - I'm flying in and out of St. Louis, so that Arch will be a feature in this blog soon.I'm excited to take pictures with my DSLR (I've been before but only had a point and shoot at the time)!

Until we meet again....
