life made lovely {mail}

I {heart} mail.  I love letters, cards, goodies, packages...good 'ole fashion UPS goodness. I typically receive something fun everyday.  Well, at least fun to me.  A freebie, a coupon, an ETSY loveliness either I've purchased or won, a card of love from a friend or family member, and the occasional bill and waste of paper political ad. (side note...raise your hand if you are OVER all these political ads. A to the MEN)

Back to your regular scheduled program.

Course, I would have to blog regularly enough for anything to be regular around here.

***crickets***

Anywho, I also love, love, love craft swaps on blogs.  You never know who you will get paired with and what you will get...it's a lot of fun to give and receive.  I participated in a swap at Amanda's blog Every Crafty Endeavor for a Fall swap.  I {heart} Fall and loved the idea of sharing some of my Fall faves!  I got paired with Ami at Ali Lily.  First of all her little one is adorable!  And she made me the most adorable Fall wreath.  I'm really, really, really loving rosettes right now so it was PERFECT.  She even included a bracelet for me and everyone in our family...how sweet is that!  Check out her blog at the link I provided to get a better shot of the adorableness that this wreath is!

So what did I send her?  Well, take a look...

 

* I love candy corn.  I know I'm kinda alone on that one, but paired with salty peanuts it is one tasty treat!  

* Bath and Body Works goodies...who doesn't love a bubble bath in the Fall. 

* Candles. I love baked good scents for Fall, my fav is Pumpkin Spice!

* Starbucks Gift Card!  I can drink hot coffee year round and LOVE the Pumpkin variations that Starbucks releases exclusively in the Fall!

* And a jersey knit scarf.  I actually made this one.  I love scarves and would be trendy and wear them all year long, but I can't do a scarf in the Texas heat...just can't do it.  It turned out pretty cute, so I hope Ami loves it!

So how about you...do you like mail?  What is your favorite mail day?  And what lovelies do you love for the Fall? 

I'm trying my best to get back into the swing of blogging, bare with me as I get the blogs I write in my mind everyday posted.
