friends in blog places

When I first started this blog I had big dreams. BIG.  I was going to have the best little bloggy and the best little bloggy friends and together we were all going to live in the best little bloggy world. That has turned into more of me creepin' up on other people's blogs while they live in perfect bliss having never known me OR my blog. 

Well folks, times are changing. One of the blogs I follow, Crowley Party, linked up with some other bloggers and created this big 'ole blog gift exchange party. What could be better than getting to meet new bloggers AND exchanging gifts? Honestly, nothing. Except if Santa had delivered them down the chimney, but I digress. I waited anxiously for the e-mail telling me with whom I was paired for this party. 

and then I got the e-mail...

and it said...

that I was paired with...

(are you anxious enough yet?)

Meet Gina from Contemplating Beauty. I can't imagine a more appropriate title for her blog. After a few weeks of getting to know Gina (and getting to read up on another blog), I was truly inspired by her story, her exquisite blog design, and her lively posts. Go check it out! 

There is nothing better than getting mail while at college.

pretty presents

Honestly, this week is already that kind of week where you're like, "Uh, it's only Tuesday??" You know what I'm talking about. I can sense all the head nods and "chyeah, totes" coming from you all. Nothing can quite turn a week around like participating in a fun gift exchange, making a new little bloggy friend, and receiving a really sweet little bloggy present. Gina, thank you for the gifts! Everyone else, get a blog and then maybe we can be blog friends and exchange blog presents too...

I think I win the award for using the word blog, in several forms, more in this post than any one else has ever used in a post. Winner!
