Mug Reveal Day!

It's time for the Tea Cup/Mug Exchange Reveal.
This event is hosted by Stephanie, The Enchanting Rose Blog .







It's always a lot of fun to participate in this great event.  You get to send stuff to someone and meet them and then get a package from a different person and get to meet them too.  So you make 2 new friends that way.

I signed my mom up to participate this year.  She's 88 and loves getting mail.  She really isn't able to write much any more though but she sure had fun getting her package in the mail.  Her partner that she received from was,
Patti Boyd.  Patti doesn't have a blog.

This is what Patti sent my mom.

 This really pretty mug which was a tea infuser.  It was packaged in a really cute matching box.


Mom doesn't drink tea/coffee anymore but she liked the Tang and the Cocoa that she received.  There was cookies and jams which were enjoyed as well and a pretty book mark.

Also a lovely embroidered tea towel, some scissors, a pretty little tatted decoration.  Such delicate work on that., Somre pretty butterfly clips which mom used to decorate with.  Plus a Swinging butterfly decoration.  Mom loves butterflies.
A closer view of the tea towel and tatted ornament.

Thank you so much Patti for making my mom's day a little brighter with your wonderful package and sweet note.

Mom sent to: Shelly Kaunzner. - She doesn't have a blog.

Next up:  My partner who had my name was:  Bev Kirk - Bev does not have a blog.

Here is what I received:



 This really cute mug, some salted caramel cocoa (Yum), Chamomile Tea, French Vanilla Coffee and a Chocolate Mint candy. - I liked them all.

Hand Lotion and Some Flower Seeds. - I love flowers.

A coloring journal and pencils. - This has some great designs in it.

A super neat pot scrubbing pad.  We really like this pad for doing dishes.

Thank you so much Bev for all the wonderful items.

My partner that I sent to was:

Stacy Duncan.  She blogs here:  http://www.intentionalmommyhood.com/

Thanks again Stephanie for hosting this event.  It really is a lot of fun to participate in.

  7. Oh, how wonderful! It touched my heart that your little mother had the opportunity of joining in this year. My dear Mom would have turned 87 this year...I was just thinking how much she would have enjoyed getting a sweet package from the exchange, too. All of your things and your dear Mom's things are just so beautiful, and I know you will enjoy them for a long time. It was a special blessing to meet you today! God bless you and your Mom...give her a hug from me.

  21. Aww...how sweet that you got your sweet mom involved in the exchange! All of your gifts were just wonderful! I used to love Tang...when I was a little girl, that is the only kind of "orange juice" we drank because it was cheaper than the real thing :) I love your new header too! May I ask what photo effect you used on it? It is just stunning! Enjoy the rest of your week, Ida!
