I recently participated in a mug swap, hosted by Kim.
She organized the whole sha-bang.
And with over 240 participants, that's a ton of work, so thanks, Kim for all you did to make this swap amazing!
So, this mug swap - buy a mug, mail a mug, get a mug.

Sounds like fun, right?!
Who doesn't love a pretty mug to help start the day?
Full of coffee, of course.
It went like this:
Sign up, get e-mailed a person's information for whom you are to buy a mug. A completely different person (from the person you're buying for) gets your name and sends you a mug.
It's like a chain of mugs. A mug chain, if you will.
The person I was to buy for, was someone I actually kinda "know", so that made it all the more fun! (She's an Instagram galpal and a fellow blogger.)
The shops around here, pretty much, consist of Ross and Walmart. I knew I wasn't going to find "just the right mug" at either of those stores, so I turned to online shopping.
I had been eyeing this mug for myself...I even had it pinned on Pinterest. I had to have it. Even if it was only for a day and then to be sent off to it's forever home. I kinda love her. Yes. Her.
She's pretty, no?
So I packed her up, with a few other little goodies, and sent her on her way.
A week, or two, after I sent my mug off, I received this one, from my new blog friend, McCall.
She sent a sweet, little mug with a ton of goodies!
I love how classic and timeless the mug is, it's just right.
And how did she know I love anything peppermint?!
The icing on the cake was that I won the give-away that went along with this mug swap!
Craziness.
I don't win things, so this was such a shock.
And we were nearly out of coffee on a tight budget month - total blessing!
I can't start my day without a cup. Or two.
Kim sent me all this goodness.
Hannah sent me two pairs of beautiful earrings.
You can get yourself a pair from her etsy shop.
Katy sent me this ridiculously fun print, I love it.
(You can check out all the goodness in her etsy shop here.)
When my husband saw it hanging by the coffee pot, I told him it should read, "I love you more than coffee (after the first cup)".
I was kidding.
Mostly.
And Lindsay sent me these beautiful, colorful coffee notecards (along with an obscene amount of other goodness).
She pretty much oozes talent - browse her etsy shop, you're sure to find something you love.
