Send Something Good Boxes...

It has come to my attention that I never posted the pictures of the Send Something Good box I sent out (I've been super busy and tired, so I very much so apologize).

Here are the things that I sent out to Lisa of Leesy Lesse Liss...

It was kinda hard for me to pick out things for her because of the format of her Tumblr (I'm not used to Tumblrs, I don't honestly look at many), so a lot of the things I picked out for her were things from a bucket list she had posted. That is why there are little notes on the items I sent out, they reference the number of the thing on her bucket list she needs the item to complete. In addition to things from her list, I sent her some of my favorite things (i.e. -- Cookie Butter, etc.) and little toys because I have a bunch of them all over my desk.

Here are the wonderful things that Alisha sent again (I posted about them in You've Got Mail...) and again I would like to thank her for being so awesome! XOXO

You've Got Mail...

I got the most amazing Send Something Good package from Alisha from Alisha & Brandon. I can't express how much I loved the package I received and how thoughtful everything inside was. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Alisha for being the most amazing Send Something Good pal!! XOXO!!

Send Something Good...

I'm taking part in Send Something Good (A project sponsored and put together by Gentri, Kaitlyn & Kristy) and I got my box recipient's name/address today! So I started snooping around my recipient's blog and I started putting some things together that I think they may or may not like. We'll see what happens...

I'd love to post pictures of what I've put together as of thus far, but unfortunately I can't. I can tell you that I was doing various things for the project while I was at work earlier and both "Emily" & my Department Head thought what I had done so far was cute.

"Emily" was kind of a downer though when I was telling her about the whole thing. She was all "Remember, not everyone is as thoughtful and generous as you, so don't be surprised if you get old shoelaces from whoever gets you..." It was so mean. Whomever has me, I have faith in you and I'm sure whatever you send will be amazing. I say boo to naysayers!

I look forward to finishing up and sending my person their box and I can't wait to get mine!
