Krysten from the lovely blog, Why Girls are Weird, hosted a Blogging Besties Swap where she matched people up by their personalities and interests. I was paired up with Jess from Fishie in the Sea who loves making lists like I do, has great taste in music and enjoys going to concerts, enjoys reading, and is even in college like myself. These are just a few similarities between the two of us but I’m really happy to have “met” Jess through this swap. She even knows who Charlene Kaye is which I find awesome, since I’ve seen her live twice now. LOVE “Dress and Tie” and “Animal Love.”
Anyway, back to the swap…here are some pictures of the items that Jess sent to me, including a list that explains.
A fun little pen, since I like to write
Scrapbooking stickers since I like to scrapbook
A mix C.D. that Jess put together…I need to find some new music, so this is great. I can’t wait to listen to it!!
A Tie-Dye Shirt set, since I like to be crafty and it’s even in the colors that I told her I liked…such as green and purple! Fun, right?!
A copy of Without You by Anthony Rapp since I love to read and I LOVE RENT (Anthony Rapp was the original Mark in case you didn’t know…). It’s an old copy that Jess read herself, which is fun, because she has little post it notes throughout from a school project. I like seeing what people thought of the book or the things that they picked out as significant.
A composition notebook (also because I like to write) but Jess actually painted the front and back, with some cute little designs, in the colors purple and green. Isn’t that awesome?! I love that she’s creative, and it makes a very unique journal.
Sounds like a fun swap! So what did you send?
What an awesome idea! I love it!
I've read about swaps on other blogs. It must be great getting an (expected) surprise in the mail. 🙂
Ooh, this is such an awesome blogger swap. J'adore your swag! 🙂
What a lovely idea, that's some great stuff Jess sent.
Ah she did such an amazing job!
Swaps between bloggers are so much fun! I love that you guys had lots of similarities so you ended up with some goodies that you will use and love!
You got some really cute stuff! That pen is totally adorable haha.
Wow, great package. 🙂 Looks like she really knows ya.
Aww, I am glad you liked everything! Sorry I haven't gotten back to your e-mail and blog comment. Life has been hectic! But I hope you enjoyed the CD! Maybe we can do another swap around the holidays? (:
