This year I joined in on some grown-up Trick or Treating hosted by Christine at
What a fun swap this was! We were to send two "treats" and one "trick" to Christine. Two items were to be handmade, one could be store bought {I choose to make all three}. Christine asked that we not label our pieces with our names, keeping them anonymous, only labeling which two were the "treats" and which one was the "trick". Once she received everyone's goodies, she randomly put together two of the treats and one trick per person and sent them back out.
We were to take pictures of the treats and tricks we were sending out so we could post them on our blogs today as well. Silly me, I totally forgot to take pictures of what I made, so Christine kindly took a few snaps of my items when she received them. But when I downloaded them from Christine's email, and tried to upload them here, I kept getting a "server refused" message. Anyone know what that's about?
Now, here's where the fun starts. Once we all received back our tricks and treats, we had to wait until today, All Hallow's Eve, to post pics of the ghoulish goodies we received. Then, we go to Christine's blog where she has all the participant's links posted and we visit each other's blogs, "Trick or Treating", seeing who received the items we sent out. Pretty neat, huh?!
I received some really great things! I was like a kid on Christmas morning when my box arrived. Pulling each adorable little goodie out . . . oooo'ing and ahhh'ing over each one.
And if coordinating, distributing and hostessing this swap wasn't enough, Christine included a gorgeous Halloween vintage-image pendant necklace as a thank-you for participating. Oh, Christine! It's so adorable. I've loved wearing it. And it's us who are offering you a big thank-you for putting this swap together.
Thanks for visiting!
