send something good reveal



A few months ago I came across a project called send something good.  the premise was that bloggers from all over the world would sign up, be assigned a secret blog pal to get to know on the Internet (and particularly through blogging) and send this blog friend a package full of things you know s/he would like.  I liked the idea of getting to know more people with similar interests, so I signed up for the project.  I've had more fun as a result of send something good, and would definitely do it again.  Today, all participants are writing about the project and displaying the photos of packages sent and received.


Dani's gift to me

Dani, the blogger who sent me a package, is the sweetest.  She was bang on about sending me a package with things I love.  And she was on the ball; out of all the participants, I think I was probably the first one to get my package.  And I got it a few days before my birthday, which was a great surprise.


what I sent to Esther

I was given Esther's name and blog info so that I could get to know her and send her a fun package.  Esther has a beautiful blog and makes gorgeous things out of paper.  I had a blast coming up with different things to send in her care package.

send something good

I'm happy to be participating in Send Something Good this year.  Gentri, Kaitlyn and Kristy have done a great job organizing it, and I'm grateful I found out about it early enough to join in on the fun.  I've already scoured my secret partner's blog to figure out her likes and dislikes and get to know her better. I've gotten such a thrill thinking about and selecting things to go into a package for her.  In an effort to help my secret sender know more about me, I've listed ten things I love below.

1. proper grammar
2. affordable art
3. flowers/seedlings
4. scarves + leggings
5. the color coral
6. hula hooping/sculpting/Piyo/ellipticizing/long walks with my Australian Shepherd
7. road trips/camping/bonfires/sleepovers/staying up late/sheet + pillow forts
8. the ocean (one of the few things I dislike about St. Louis is that it is landlocked)
9. painting (canvas, shoes, earrings, wood, slate--you name it, I've painted it)
10. mixed tapes/CDs

I've really enjoyed learning about the other participating bloggers through their posts in this link up.  Be sure to check them out, too!
