My Swapfest Package

My Swapfest partner was News Readin' Wife over at Breaking News. A few days before Christmas I opened my front door and there sat a box. At first I just looked at it wondering wtf is this and why am I getting a box. When I picked up the box I saw it was addressed to Just a Girl and I got super excited. I felt like a little kid ripping open the tape on top of the box. My first glimmer of the contents inside was pink and silver and zebra, oh my! 

I couldn't believe how much thought she had put into my swap! I opened the card first and its was the little touches she put on everything that made me smile. In my card she mentioned my son, I was touched to say the least. 

Inside the box was a pink martini shaker, with pomegranate martini mix. It was super cute, next I opened a box that was wrapped with the cutest zebra wrapping paper and a pink bow. Inside was a set of 3 lip glosses by, Benefit. Next was a silver basket and inside the basket was a beautiful pink candle, a hello kitty notebook and hello kitty pens. The picture doesn't do the candle justice its absolutely perfect.

Thank you so much "News Readin' Wife" I loved all of it. I hope you love yours as well. 

SWAPFEST UPDATE!

24 participants and I am pretty freaking excited. Below are all the people who have dared to join Swapfest. If you see your name in RED please click on this LINK and fill out this online form QUICKLY, so that I can match people up. If for any reason you no longer want to participate then no worries, just shoot me an email. If you have already joined and you dont see your name below, send me an email. justagurl74@gmail.com 

I am going to give the damn procrastinators a few more days to get there forms filled out and then we are off to match city. I will have all the swap buddies ready by Friday. I want to have a mail by date of December 5th. This gives everyone plenty of time to send off their swaps. 

As I said before this isn't about quantity or how much you spend. I thought about putting a price on this swap, but I decided against it. I make the rules here at JAG. Be creative and expect nothing! Send your partner something old, something pink, 10 things, 8 things. Send whatever you want. Send a good book and a blankie shoot I dont care, just send something and put some thought into it. As stated earlier everyone that participated in the swap will be receiving a gift from me. Its going to be a surprise and amazingly awesome, so NO hints.

Swapfest 08'

Okay so I get it, we start our blogs and we all do the newbie things. We do meme's, check. We do awards, check. We actually post multiple times in one day, freaking check. But when are we seasoned enough to do a swap. Today!

Now I don't ask a lot from you bastards. Once I asked for you to vote for me on humor-blogs, and I haven't made that mistake since. But I do want some participants in my first "just a girl's, swapfest 08' ". I know what you are thinking, economy, money, gifts oh my. Folks lets keep this simple shall we.

You can swap 1 item or 50 items to your swap-ee, that is not whats important. We all like surprises and what a great way to end the year. Send your swap-ee a good book, or regift, be creative and send candybars, candles or even a recipe card. Its not about how much or how little you do, its about the thought. Lets just do this.

1. I would like men to participate (gman, moe, jay, joe, ken,RPM, brad etc.)(if you dare)

2. If you want to participate simply send me an email..... justagurl74@gmail.com

3. Or leave a comment

4. Anyone can join the swapfest until October 31st.

5. I will arrange it all and send you your swap-ee's info by November 5th.

6. All you have to do is send your swap gift out by November 30th

7. No seven I just don't like to end on six

I don't need you to link to me and I don't know how to make a damn picture button. If you want to list this on your blog then go old school. Copy and paste the pic, and link back. However, this is not about me. I could give 2 shits, I just want participants.

Side Note: Everyone who joins will receive a swapfest souvenir.
