Summer Swap

I recently participated in a summer blog swap that Aly at Analyze This was hosting on her blog. I was paired with Sara at Words To Run By. My hometown gal pal Steph also participated in the swap and we went shopping together... this swap was a perfect excuse for us to go shopping! ha  We had the best time picking out our items for our swap partners! I received my package of goodies this past Friday and was so excited to open it up to see what I got!!!

She even sent my sweet little baby dog Dexter something! He has played with his new toy non-stop! haha Sara was so sweet and I enjoyed swapping with her. I hope she enjoyed her summer care package that I sent her way as much as I did mine! :)

I Won A Giveaway!

I recently won a giveway that Hadar at Miss Kindergarten was hosting! I was super duper excited because I never win anything! haha 

So what did I win???? Well I will show you!

I won 5 wonderful items from the talented Kim Swoveland's TPT store! I browsed around her TPT store and these are the ones I picked! It was hard to pick because everything looked sooooo good! And..... she was sooo sweet she included the Alien Adventures unit to accompany the Lost In Space unit I had picked out! So that made me 6 units!!!! Thanks so much to Hadar for hosting the giveaway and to Kim for the awesome items! She was soooo sweet through the whole process.. she even printed them all off and mailed them to me in the cutest little box! If you haven't stopped by Kim's TPT store head on over there right now and see what goodies you can find!!! You won't be disappointed!
