Cold Hands Warm Hearts Swap!

I am really excited to share with you 

what I got in my Cold Hands Warm Hearts package!

It's a blogger swap program put on by

 Ilene from Much Love Illy and 

Sandy from Sandy a la Mode. 

The basic requirements are that you get to know 

an assigned blogger and send them a goodie package 

which must include a pair of gloves or mittens 

(to keep their hands warm!) 

and then any other tidbits and accessories you think would be good.

I was paired up with Jessica who blogs over at The In Between.

It was great getting to know her through blog, Twitter and email!

I had been gone all day long when my package came in, 

so I didn't get to open it until really late at night

But I was just tooo excited to wait for better picture-taking lighting

Pretty festive packaging

What could be inside?

several very cutesy packages! 

i don't know if you can tell,

but they all have sweet little tags on them!

cable knit gloves from Target

and festive red tights

I totally wore these THE NEXT DAY

I looove them!

Then, Trader Joe's Candy Cane Coal

(we don't have Trader's Joe here, so this was awesome!)

A Bissinger Chocolate Bar

and Bissinger Chardonnay Salt Caramels.

YUM. 

I samples a little of everything right then. 

SO GOOD. 

Hook 'em!

If you want to see what I sent Jessica, 

check out her blog here!

Or check out all the participants at the link up.

Getting packages in the mail is super fun,

and so are surprises, 

so I really enjoyed this swap

and it's been great getting to know other bloggers

all over the world!
