The New Girl Goes Overboard! Yay for Me!

Yesterday, a huge box with this beautiful mermaid label was barely squeezed into my mailbox! It was from my Swap Partner, Missy!

It was filled with loads of goodies, mermaids and more...

Check out this beautiful ornament! The colors are fabulous! I'm afraid my photography doesn't show much of the details. I love the bracelet with legs hanging on her wrist!

And this beautiful book mark makes me want to drive east to the beach. I like to dream that my hair looks like this when I float in the ocean. I have no delusions that my body looks anything like this! A girl can dream!

This beautiful pin will work with so many of my brightly colored outfits! I just love it!

I opened the raspberry chocolates first. I intended to only have one or two and save the rest for later. An hour later, I was hiding the empty box below some papers in the trash! I did wait until today to open the mint truffles. Gone by lunchtime!

I have not opened this yet. I hate to open this and finish it off today, too! Missy even made the jam! Check out the vintage pin up label. Love it!

And, apparently, no package that comes to my house can be mailed without a chicken inside! Don't you love this goofy bird! I sure do!

Thanks Missy! I promise, you will be getting a package from me soon. I have a lot of work to do. You have set the bar high and I'm only 5'3"!

Welcome to our Swap Group!

Mushrooms, Clovers and Chickens, Oh My!

Packages in my mailbox two days in a row! Yep, I call that spoiled!

Yesterday, a package arrived from Valerie, our fearless host of this fabulous swap! Just look at the goodies that were inside!

Is this not the cutest bouquet of mushrooms you ever saw?

And just in time for Saint Patrick's Day, this fabulous crocheted clover chain! Do you see what my chickens are wearing? Real, live Mardi Gras beads!

"Woohoo! Show us your beaks?"

Knowing my obsession with chickens, Valerie made this adorable chicken ornament. I am going to have the cutest dang Christmas tree in North Carolina by the time this swap ends!

Wasnna see my mushroom bouquet again?

Who knew a fungi bouquet could make me smile so much?

This beautiful doily is destined for a spot underneath one of my many chicken collectibles!

This bookmark cracked me up! In case your eyes are as bad as mine, it says...

"There are bold mushroom hunters

And there are old mushroom hunters....

But there are no bold, old mushroom hunters..."

One more look at these cuties! Thanks so much Valerie! This is so much fun!
