V-day Mug Swap

I love reading blogs ! But I'm not a full time blogger ,see the last time I posted 2 months ago and usually is about giveaways or recap on a craft show. It's all the time I spend reading that by the time I get to think about post I can't find something half as good as what I read .
So while I journey on finding my own way of blogging I enjoy all the ladies who blog and that brings me to today's post .

I been following Rags to Stitches   & Sew Caroline I actually saw Alissa a few years ago when she had her shop open and I loved her pouches . Caroline I love her sewing post and she is a inspiration to perfect my sewing skills. Anyways they team up for the annual mug swap and I had read about it long time ago . I needed to jump on the party this time around. I had been paired up with Erin . This is why I love the networking world so many people you meet. Erin blog is a must follow ! I love her creativity and her way with paper crafts and art. funny is that that is not my area ( if you purchase from me you know my tags and cards fail ) So buying for her was a fun adventure we are both so diff but at the same time it was so much fun shopping for someone you only know via instagram and Blog , you can see what I got her on her blog. I found a fun tea pot and added a few paper items from my favorite etsy shops, added some tea plus I couldn't forget her favorite candy . I wanted to give her a bit from my shop but mostly all my items are shabby chic , vintage inspired . although I love prints I found that perfect bright infinity scarf  Anthro inspired print and bright fun pattern which is what she likes. What did Erin sent me ? she sent me this white shabby chic mug filled with lace , trim and shabby embellishments its way to adorable that I haven't use my cup because I love the arrangement .

I want to thank Alissa and Caroline for this fun adventure and Erin for the perfect gift .
