This time around I was partnered with one of the hosts herself, Dean of Mrs. AOK, and let me tell you right now, she spoiled me with all of the fall things. Take a peek at the autumn goodness below!
As I said, pure. autumn. goodness. - exactly what I was expecting when I read Dean's note saying that she was going for a cozy fall day theme. The cat bits were literally made for me. I want to live in the knee-high socks - which feature cats, tigers, and lions {with a 3D-like mane!}; and the coloring bookmarks already came in handy yesterday afternoon when I came home from work beat, and wanted to do nothing but whip out those colored pencils and play creative. Which I did for a few hours - including time spent doodling in my new journal! I even added a few fall stickers from the pretty sheet included!
Though I am so not a foodie, some of my favorite things in this box were, indeed, the treats. My absolute favorite piece, tbh, is the Hello Pumpkin Mug which, I believe, was handwritten by Dean {you have the most fabulous writing btw!}.
My nephew was over when I opened my box, and he swiped two chocolates from me the second he saw them; but I managed to salvage a few for myself, and let me just say that they are incredible! The Pumpkin Spice Caramel Squares were my favorite - the flavor is just so quintessentially fall! And the coffees? I haven't had a chance to try them yet; but I am super excited to do so - in fact, that White Chocolate Mocha is calling my name right now!
Thank you Dean and Ashley for, once again, hosting a stellar swap! And thank you Dean for being my swap partner - I could not have asked for a better one! Is it winter yet, because I am so ready for next season's swap!

NO WAY!!! Finding a nail polish was the hardest. I kept going back and fourth with my daughter on what color would go best. I had to keep fall in mind and the contents of your pacake, it all kind of had a fall color scheme... that's a little crazy of me...
Anyway, yes, the mug is handwritten by me. :) I tried a new oil based Sharpie that I'm praying to all the Sharpie Gods works. I wanted to make a mug for myself but haven't yet.
I'm glad the bookmarks came in handy. :)
I have a slight confession.... my husband jacked your stash. I purchased some pumpkin spice caramel for apple coating, he thought it was for us. DOH!
It was truly a pleasure to swap with you! Thank you, for such an awesome swap.

I love that these focus on the seasons. Fall was the first one that I was able to do but it's my favorite season. You got some wonderful items. That's awesome Dean got you a nail polish you didn't already have.
Those socks are too dang cute!
Love what she sent you! Those socks are amazing :)
So great! You are also a great gift giver
