Snail Mail Collective - Reveal

Hello,

This month I participated in the Snail Mail Collective once again - What is it?

"Snail Mail Collective is an international friendship and package exchange. Each month, you have the opportunity to be paired with one new friend, get to know them for a couple weeks, and then exchange a small themed package."

There is only one month left - so sign up HERE if you like.

This month I was paired up with D'Ann from Mismatched Simplicity who lives in Lubbock, Texas and the theme was Gratitude.


D'Ann's blog really exemplifies Gratitude because she writes about all the wonderful bits of life.  She also sent me a very nice little package as well.  Aren't the Fox place card holders just lovely!  And the glitzy mechanical pencils are so ME! 

Thank you D'Ann!

So what are you guys most grateful for?

Snail Mail Collective

Hello,

This month I joined the Snail Mail Collective over @ The Nectar Collective.  What is it?
"In case you’ve never heard of the Snail Mail Collective before, then let me explain! SMC is a monthly international package and friendship exchange. It is free to sign up and you will be paired with one other person (hopefully from a different country!). Then, you’ll get to know each other for a couple weeks through emails, twitter, blog posts — whatever you like! After that, you’ll mail off a small gift (totaling $5) to your partner. SMC exists as a way for people to meet new friends from around the world. "

Fun right!?!?!!?

I was paired up with Bethan from A Pretty Place to Play - she lives in London, takes amazing pictures and writes a very interesting blog.  Plus she was a great partner! 

Here is the amazing package she put together for me - the theme was "autumn adventure"

First of all just getting a package from the UK is a great thing to come home to!

 
Look at how nicely wrapped up it is! 
 


And inside the nicely wrapped package - was more thoughtfully wrapped items!

 
Clockwise: Skull chocolate for Halloween - these are super cool!  A letter wishing me a happy autumn.  Fox Socks (LOVE) I did not know there are city foxes in London!  Autumnal recipes- yum!  Cadbury hot chocolate mixes..mmmmm!  And hair bands - because I lose mine ALL THE TIME!
 
It was such a fun thoughtful package!  And I made a great blogland friend - can't wait to do it again :)
