Meet Ali.
Ali is my swap sister/friend/fellow blogger/soul-writer and all other adjectives that denote things pleasant, coincidental and divine.
Yes, against my better judgment I signed up for Kelly's fabulous "My Three Favorite Things" swap. I don't mean that negatively - I've been coveting swaps for some time now. It's just that I know I'm not nearly as crafty, clever or downright punctual as most bloggettes out there. So I was really scared by the prospect of having to directly swap gifts with someone for fear that her favorite things would be so much more favored than mine.
Thankfully, my gift hasn't arrived quite yet in the mail, though I'll take pics as soon as it does. At which time, I'm sure to wish I was as brilliant as Ali. Except I already know she is because in my attempt to research my swap sister, I ended up addicted to Ali's blogs found here and here. The latter almost makes me want to move back to Utah. Almost. (Chuck-a-rama scares me, people!)
I'm pretty confident you're already reading her stuff. If not, grab a snack and get started.
And to find out the contents of my paper packages tied up in string - how could I resist when sending a few of my favorite things - click here.
Meanwhile, I'll be checking my mail.

I really like the wrapping myself. Incidentally, you should also be receiving your much-belated birthday gifts any day now ("standard speed" shipping my eye!). And incidentally, they are not wrapped cute at all.
What a cute, fun idea! I looove the wrapping! You and your family always have the most fun wrapping ever!
Do you personally know Ali or just through the internet?
i've never met ali in person ... we were just randomly assigned to swap.
does anyone out there know her personally?
This is such a cute idea! Nothing's more fun than giving & getting, especially at a non-holiday time of year!
I thought about signing up, but I have the same reservations you did, so I opted out. Maybe the next one that comes along... Ali is a friend of a friend, sort of. A friend of my husband's coworker who I wish was a friend? Anyway, haven't met her, but am addicted to both blogs you mentioned!
I do! That's why I asked. I have a link to her Your Heart Out on my blog. She is too cute, you'd love her.
Unexpected mail treats...always a much needed "pick-me-up"! I have an informal swap partner...we see cute things from time to time and just send them to each other randomly...it makes my heart smile.
love the goodies you each chose, a feast for the eye!
You guys are nice. :)
