Clean swap!

I participated in Monica and Carrie's latest swap, this time the theme was CLEAN...great timing for spring cleaning!! My partner is Angie, and the box she swapped with me arrived today!! I have been very sick with a flu or cold of some sort, so this was a ray of sunshine today!! Of course, I totally forgot to take pictures of the things I sent her, but I did get photos of what she sent me!! She is very talented!!



She sent me some clothespins that she decorated, as well as a child's sweater which is a bag to hold them in!! Angie and I both enjoy doing laundry, so this was great!

She also included...

*a clipboard she gussied up with scrapbooking paper
*a clean linen candle which smells awesome!
*some lotion for my feet, which will be great after a day of beachcombing and sea glass collecting!
*a book on organizing your home school, which is just perfect, as I need to get my school supplies arranged into some semblance of order
*some really cool scrubby sponges in cool colours, which I can't find in any stores where I live
*a fold up bag I can carry in my purse in case I need one if I stop in at the library etc
*a really neat handmade card which will go up in my laundry room

Thank you so much Angie!! It is so much fun getting to know you!! I hope my box gets there soon!!

Oh! What a great swap! Love the clothes pins!

I think I need the Clean Sweep team to come clean my house! *sigh* For some reason, I thought coming home to a house after renovations would be like coming home to something you'd see on one of those TV home reno shows like While You Were Out or Extreme Makeover: Home Edition! NOT! LOL! What was I thinking?!

Hi there dear friend...it's been awhile. Wow, what cute things you received..and I'm sure she received amazing things from you...as I know first hand. Those clothes pins are SO cute.

I sure hope you are feeling better soon...the flu has been going around her too....but thankful it's just the flu.
