Happy Valentine's Day!!!
I hope you are all happy, healthy and enjoying this day of LOVE!! It's also a great day because EVERYONE LOVES PINK on VALENTINE'S DAY!!
It's has been a crazy rush this week, I have taken hundreds of photos of soooo many things that I want to share, I just haven't had the time!!
However, today I do get to share some AWESOMENESS that you can all appreciate!
Today is the BIG REVEAL for Jenn and Cheryl's Secret Admirer Swap!
All of the entrants were given a partner... you send your partner a package of lovelies for Valentine's Day (including a cherub, chocolate and a heart) without revealing who you are... today, we all post on our blogs revealing who we sent our packages to... does that make sense? That was the loooongest sentence ever!
So, a week or so ago, I got a package from my Secret Admirer... my kids we sooooo excited and could not fathom that I had a secret admirer who wasn't daddy!! :0)
I was all excited, I sit down, ready to enjoy every moment, you know how you do...
I open the package, totally clueless as to who my admirer is... then I read the note, it says, "after you open this you will know who I am.. "
hmmmm who could it be?
I'll see if you can guess by the end of these photos...
Sweet Chocolates...
Beautiful Cherub collage (love those sequins... hint hint)
oh, and check out that CUUUUTE little heart garland made from chenille stems! Love it!!
Now for the reveal...
YEAH! I got my very own Betsy from Sadie at Sadie Lou Who!!
Isn't she a doll??
I love her crown and her lashes and her sweet little heart shaped lips!!
I know Sadie put a lot of work into her and I really love it! Thank you for everything Sadie!
You can find Sadie's shop here, to get a Betsy for yourself! Tell her Analise sent you!
I also had a partner who I was really excited about! Her and I love a lot of the same things! We are only a few miles apart as well!! Cheryl from Rosey Posey Confections was my partner and yes, Cheryl... we REALLY need to get that coffee we keep talking about
This is Cheryl's shop, Rosey Posey Confections, so stop in and say hi!
I gave a few sneak peeks on my last post, but now I'll share what I sent her way.
Let's see, I added some pretty paper, roses and glitter to this old valentine box, I loved the way it came out...
I included a few sweet little goodies, some crafty bits for her to play with.
Oh, and I made my famous fudge...maybe sometime I'll share the recipe... it is SOOOOOOOOO EASY! I promise, and it is DANGEROUSLY GOOD! I ate like, well, *too much* of this fudge last week, I made Aly take home the last few pieces. UGH!
I also made this little plaque collage with a little cherub, so sweet!
annnd lastly I included this awesome PINK feathered heart. I ALLLLMOST stole it from Cheryl after I bought it! hee hee
So that's it! All the goodies!
I just want to thank Jenn and Cheryl, the swap hostesses for putting on such a FUN swap, it really was an excellent idea! As far I've read so far, everyone is getting such fine gifts!
Well, today is still filled with lots to do, I WISH I could stay and share lots more, but, hopefully I will have a few moments this weekend ( at 2am.... that seems to the normal bedtime for yours truly lately...)
Alright friends, may your Valentine's Day be filled with MUCHO AMOR mis amores!
XOXOXOXO

Oh! Thank you so much for the wonderful package!! I can't wait to have some time to play with all of the goodies! You're such a swwetie, Analise! I hope you didn't peek in to my messy, messy house. I need to stay home from the hospital for a few days and clean up. I swear everything is multiplying while I am gone.
Smooches!

Aw, Analise, I'm so pleased you love all your goodies--you were easy to create for because we both love polka dots and glitter and the same colors.
I love all the yummies you made for Cheryl too--luck girl (homemade fudge? How dangerous!)
*hugs*
