Happy Mug Swap 2014 Link Up Day! Today is the day that you can find links to a bunch of the mugs people were gifted and got for other swap participants over at ACUPPAKIM. Also, her recap of this year's mugswap.
Above is the mug I gifted for my swappee, Sherry Lynn French. She described her taste as casual, and into the colors teal and lime green.
I made sure to include some lime green pieces in her mug swap package, along with a stamp set (because stamps are fun), and a bag of my favorite cookies by Tate's Bake Shop.
I then wrapped her mug in far too much bubble wrap because you can nver wrap a mug in too much bubble wrap.
I strategically placed her goodies in a too-big box with too many packing peanuts and secured it tightly. Two days later I was tagged on Sherry's instagram image below:
I'm glad she liked it all because, as a swapper, you never really know if you got their style right. You shop mindfully, you decide on something, and then cross your fingers. In the end, though, it's all about blessing someone, right?
...and speaking of blessing others...
My mug swapper, Kelly Gonzalez, blessed me with this sweet doodled-on mug:
The message was exactamundo what I needed in my mind, in my soul, and in my heart. They're some of the best few words a worry wart like myself can hear, so thank you again, lady. And that Bob Marley coffee was clutch. ;) So yummy delish!
I say this every year (last year & year before) but Kim: your Annual August Mug Swap is magical and uplifting. Thank you for hosting yet again, and you can be sure I'll be back for the next one!
