All the participants got matched with a stranger and spent a month collecting goodies, which are then wound in yards and yards of crepe paper and ribbon until you end up with a giant ball [shapeish thing] and it gets mailed off to your buddy.
Here's what was in mine:
The start of the ball and a sweet note
Two brown lace head bands
A long necklace with red beads
Cute confetti
Key Ring
Brown leather key ring (note the awesome zebra ribbon)
Sweet little bird earrings (I love bird jewelry!)
Turquoise and silver ring (fits perfectly!)
Ring with a pale blue stone
Rubber bracelet (wrapped up in lace!)
I'm not going to lie, I'm equally excited about the ribbon - I love nice ribbon and have been known to wrap friends gifts and then steal back the ribbon once they've opened them.
Thanks so much Taylor, I love all my surprises!
And thanks to Melissa for organizing the whole exchange.
To see what I sent Taylor, head over to her blog!
Yay! I'm so glad you liked everything!
