Great Pumpkin Swap!

One of the things I look forward to every fall is the Great Pumpkin Swap hosted by Kristin from Stuff, Things, etc. and Becky from Rebeckann's Random Thoughts. I've participated in it for the last several years and it's always so much fun.
I was paired up again with the amazing, Rachel from A Nesting Nomad. I've been following her blog for several years and I just think she is wonderful. She currently lives in Australia and I knew what she sent was going to be awesome.

She put together the best box and it was so fun receiving a package from out of the country. I mean who doesn't love receiving goodies from another country. 

Let me start with the sweet treats! Oh my! These caramello koalas were so so good haha. I'm not going to lie they disappeared pretty quickly. 
 Rachel must know my love of chocolate because she sent some of the most delicious chocolate goodies. I have to say that Tim Tam is now a favorite. Yum! 
She also sent some fun things to use. These magnetic picture frames are awesome and they will definitely be making a home on our fridge (well once E moves her magnets out of the way haha).
 2018 calendar planner. I have been looking for one for next year and it was perfect that she sent one.
 The love of food sticker book! This is so fun and will get used with the planner. 
Now, my favorite things in the entire package that she sent are these amazing finger puppets. E absolutely loves them and we play with them everyday. They are designed in Australia, made in Nepal with wool from New Zealand. I honestly couldn't asked for anything better.
Thank you so so much, Rachel!!! I hope you love the package I sent you as much as I love what you sent me.

Thanks Kristin and Becky for hosting!

  11. That sounds like a fun swap and your really got some fun gifts! The finger puppets are adorable and glad Emersyn likes them too! I found a little pak of caramel M&Ms the other day laying on table at church for goodies give away! Oh so delicious! Glad it was a small one instead of bigger size or I'd eaten it all! Blogger swaps are fun! Maybe I should figure out how to do one on mine! Take care!

  13. I'm so glad you liked what I sent you! I fell in love with the finger puppets so I figured you would too. And everyone likes Tim Tams (except coeliacs :( ). I know planners are pretty personal so I thought you could write all your runs in it if you didn't want to use it as a proper planner. Anyway, thank you for being my swap partner and thanks again for my lovely parcel too!
