I'd like to extend a huge thank you to Sami over at Symmetry in Motion! Not only did she host the 12 Days of Christmas swap but she introduced me to my newest bloggy BFF, Impulsive Addict!
Impulsive Addict {from here forward known as IA} is my sister from another Mister! Seriously, if I didn't know better I would swear we really are sisters. We have similar physical features, you know cuz we're both naturally blonde, a rock hard size 4 and gorgeous. We both landed handsome husbands and have beautiful daughter(s). Then there's our quick wit, smart-assery and the love of a little thing called Patron! What more can I say, we are truly a match made in heaven! I'm trying to convince her that that little angel of hers in not too young for Disney so we can meet IRL! Our husbands are both Packer fans and my girls are old enough to watch sweet little Emma while the boys talk Vince Lombardi and we sip Patron margaritas poolside! Hopefully she'll come to her senses soon and book that tropical vacation she's been wanting!
My package came on time and in once piece, more than I can say for the package I sent her. It arrived a day late and had not one, not two but THREE broken boxes, I will redeem myself I promise! And for the record USPS can suck it! Back to my box...For the self proclaimed uncrafty my packages were all wrapped beautifully in coordinating paper with beautifully tied bows exposing yet another thing we have in common, OCD!
I have edited out her personally information because she likes to keep her personal information well personal but I consider myself lucky to not only know her full name but have her address and phone number. I'm still a little curious about what she sounds like? Do people out "West" have accents? IA, this a heads up, I may consider just calling next time and not texting so I can find out.
Like me she's a wee bit controlling and had my packages numbered. It was difficult being told what to do but I was a good girl and followed her orders.
I set all of the packages under the tree that holds gifts for friends and every day when I walked past I was reminded of a new friend that was sweet enough to send me something to open for the next 12 days. Did I say 12 days? That may have been true if I didn't have a boy named Rogue...he sniffed out his favorite right away leaving me with 11.
We opened day 1 together via text, after she informed me that 3 of my boxes had been shattered I sat in front of the fire to read the Christmas magazine she gave me to calm my nerves. I really packed that box good! Again, USPS can suck it!
On day 2 I received this beautiful pink & brown stationery. I used to be very good at sending random notes to my loved ones, maybe these will inspire me to start again.
Day 3: Arbonne's exfoliating mask with heat fusion. The first time I used it I came out of the shower with my face as red as a tomato, IA please tell me that's normal!
She really stalked me did her research. I love all things Santa and this little guy has been the perfect addition to my tree!
I've had my first Scentsy burner for about a month but had yet to try this scent. It's gone, if that's any indication as to how much I love it!
Day 6 was Rogues favorite. He tore the packaging off and was able to get his sharp teeth threw the container but was caught before he did any irreversible damage. This may gross many of you out but I just used packing tape to seal the punctures and put it in the spice rack. For the record, I'm glad I did it's gooood!
I love diffusers but have yet to find one that doesn't burn my nose the first few days and then just look like a jar with sticks in it after that. This just may be the exception, my office has smelt heavenly for days!
Another adorable Santa ornament and chocolate. Chocolate that I forgot I hid until I started writing this post. Chocolate that was very delicious!
How adorable is he all nestled in the tree?!!?
What is this? A handmade ornament on day 9 from the "uncrafty IA" herself? I love it! And my husband was thankful for the foot creme, he hates nasty feet and this will save him on my by-weekly pedicure bill!
And if more proof was needed that we are one, a mini bottle of Patron! I swear Sami couldn't have gotten me a better partner if she had paired me with myself! Funny thing, I sent her a mini bottle of Patron lovin' too!
Like I said IA knows her stuff. I love coffee. I love French Vanilla Coffee. And I love my Keurig!
During our exchanges of likes, dislikes and desires I mentioned this book. I was thrilled to have this as my last gift and cannot wait to dive on in with a warm cup of French Vanilla coffee in hand, a mask on my face and some foot creme doing its magic underneath a pair of warm socks!
IA, I am beyond happy to have been partnered with you for this swap and I am honored to be able to call you my friend! Now get home quickly while you still have your sanity and make those travel plans to come visit me, your new bloggy BFF!
Thanks again Sami, you out did yourself with this swap!
