a little lovely

Recently I was able to participate in this wonderful Hoop Art Swap.

I so enjoyed putting together the hoop for Andrea,

and I absolutely love the hoop she sent me!

Isn't it beautiful?!

I can't wait to hang it in our bedroom once we get married. :)

Here's the hoop I made for Andrea:

I think I might make one of these for myself in different colors...

Love how it turned out!

Many thanks to Heather for hosting. I so enjoyed it!

On another note, this weekend was crazy.

An annual church yard sale to help with all day Friday & Saturday really wore me out, and now I'm sick with a yucky cold. Not sure this week will be very productive...but hopefully I'll be feeling better soon.

Have a wonderful Monday!

 I was SO excited to be able to participate in the Cold Hands, Warm Hearts swap, hosted by the lovely Sandy a la Mode and Much Love, Illy {love them both!}. My sweet swap partner is Kate from Be merry, Kate.It was so fun to get her package in the mail, pink bubble wrap and all! 

She went me some cute raspberry gloves with grey trim...

a lovely new mug, a handy purse hanger, a recipe to try, 

nail polish {the pink is on my fingernails now!},

and a sweet handwritten note. Yay!

Kate, thank you so, SO much for the gift.

I love all of it, and I'm glad we were able to "meet"!

Many thanks to Sandy & Ilene for hosting and organizing!
