Hello my lovely friends! I feel like Im SOOOO late blogging and posting pics of the OH SO FABULOUS swap that was hosted by the super sweet Miss Heather of Pretty Petals. I guess better late than never! hee! hee!
No time to waste! Onto the YUMMY eye candy!!!!!! My swap partner was Miss Analise of SUGAR*SUGAR. Heather did an OUTSTANDING job pairing us girls up with one another. We both LOVE the exact same things. I just knew I was going to have TONS of fun shopping and collecting little pretties for her!
The idea was to fill a "trunk" of sweet beautiful treasures. This was the trunk that I decided to use. This is my BEFORE picture.
TA-DA!!!!!!!!!!!!! AFTER PIC!!!!
Here is the trunk all "froofed" and decorated!
Lets take a PEEK inside! Shall we????
Yummy sweet pretties galore!!!!
Analise collects vintage wedding toppers and I found this darling dove wedding topper.
Sparkley aqua glitter in vintage bottle and crepe paper.
Vintage powder box.
Let them Eat Cake notecards by Paper Nosh.
So now you got to see the pretties I sent Miss Analise. Here's my goodies she sent me.
Omigosh! I LOVE & ADORE this little girl figurine! I have a small collection that is GROWING!!!
I about DIED when I unwrapped this delicate & BEAUTIFUL embroidered pillowcase. It will look precious on Miss Vivi's "big girl" bed!
Squuuueeeel! Bunny plaques!
Im such a lucky lucky girl to have recieved so many beautiful treasures from Miss Analise. I LOVE ALL my sweet goodies. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH ANALISE!!!!
I would love to share with you a little hostess gift I sent to Miss Heather. This swap truly has to be one of my FAV'S!!!!
Miss Heather received a vintage glove box of little treasures.
THANK YOU Miss Heather for hosting such a EYE CANDY filled swap. I've been looking at other participants blogs and Flickr and I've NEVER seen so many gorgeous treasures! It's SOOOOO much fun giving, and just AS MUCH fun as receiving!!!!
My last post I featured the FUN sweet treats that I sent to Miss Heather of Speckled Egg for the Artsy Mamma Vintage Party swap, and Im soooo GIDDY and EXCITED to show YOU ALL what she sent ME in return. Heather *SPOILED* ME ROTTEN!!!!
**WARNING!*** This is sooooooooooo SWEET your teeth will HURT!!! ;)
MUST show detailed close up's! Too many cute things that must be oogled over!
I ADORE my elephant planter!!!! Filled with CUTE STUFF!!!!
Heather had a HUGE bag of all the trims and goodies to make PARTY HATS! Chick it OUT!!!! hee! hee!
DARLING Vintage Games!
Look at this SUPER CUTE Cupcake kit! The packaging is DARLING!!!!
Talk about a *SUGAR HIGH* Im dizzy from all the SWEETNESS she sent me! Thank you soooooooooooooooo MUCH Heather! I cant WAIT to use all my goodies for Grant & Vivi's birthday party!!!
I CANT resist showing you this next picture that I took today. My son TOTALLY takes after me. Im a HUGE chocolate lover! I literally have to have at least a small piece of chocolate a day. Hence the gumball machine in my kitchen full of peanut M&M's. Anyhoo, I bought the small single cups of chocolate ice cream for my son to have as a special treat. This afternoon he sits at his little table in the kitchen to enjoy his ice cream. Meanwhile, Mommy is busy surfing the net and Flickr. :) All of a sudden I look up from my computer to see this little dirty boy covered in chocolate!
I could NOT resist but to bust out laughing!!! This is what I LOVE about children!!!
This is a Tell-Tale sign that he enjoyed his ice cream! ;)
This past weekend was the Historic Macon Party of the Year which is an annual black tie event that we've attended the past three years . I invited my close girlfriend Heather to join us for a night of getting "dolled" up, sip champagne, eat yummy hor dourves,mingle and dance the night away. These are a few pics before we hit the town!
I usually wear a long gown to these events, but I found this gorgeous pale pink dress and just had to have it. I felt like a retro 50's gal wearing this dress. I was told that SEVERAL times throughout the night.
Here is my handsome hubby and I.
My gorgeous friend Heather that had a "Grace Kelly" look about her.
Thank you ALL for stopping by and visiting. My goal this week is to catch up on blogs! Im dying to know what EVERYONE has been up to!!!! :)
Have a wonderful and SUPER CREATIVE week! Hugs and Kisses to all! XOXO,
Well, You all look Fantastic! Love the Dress and Earings too. Your bangs are Fantastic and Sassy. Your little guy is so Darn cute even covered in Chocolate, it is a true right of passage as a child. Your Swap Goodies you gave and received are Lovely too.

Oh Sweetie! I do believe I'd have up & EXPLODED WITH GLEE to have received *EITHER* package! Literally my eyeballs are rolling around in their sockets in utter ecstasy at the moment, taking all the sweetness in! Not sure how either of you girls survived the opening of these glorious boxes! You sure seem to know each other well! And who can get over the sheer amount of love, care & cheer put into EVERY SINGLE ITEM? And then there is you in your 50's dress, looking yummier than pudding & prettier than pie! You fresh-faced, ivory-skinned Debra Messing / Yasmine Bleeth look-alike you! Who wouldn't KILL to be in your husband's lucky shoes? And your sweet son's grubby, gorgeous self is the cherry on top! I honestly can't even tell you how much the cute ice creamy colors of your blog & this peek at your precious world just STIRS me. I am so glad we are friends, Jenn. I only hope to know you better through the years. You truly are on angel on this Earth! ♥ P.S. Your heart is truly so GREAT BIG! Thank you for your stop by at my blog the other night. You made my day! :)

How fun, sweet & creative are you!!
I enjoyed looking at your stuff & you look FABU in that dress!
Your little man's face with the ice cream reminds me of my son's when I let him "go at" with his spoon. Altho. at 20 months it usually ends up in his hair as well! LOL

I love all the Junque you gave and received. The powder-puff china doll is so darling. My mom use to have one on her bureau when I was a little girl. I use to open it and blow at the Heaven Sent" powder she stored in it. BTW...Your bangs look great!
