Fall into Fall Swap Package Reveal

October 3, 2012

I participated in a Fall Swap with some other ladies in the blogging community.  It was a wonderful way to get to know other bloggers.  My swap partner was Veronica at Adventures of D and V.  She is such a kind person.  Please go see her post HERE about her swap package.  She asked her followers to pray for my mom and my family as we are going through this situation right now.  And I do thank everyone who has stopped by to leave me such kind comments.  You ALL have helped me so much as such a terrible time in my life.

Now on to the fun stuff!!  I received a huge box of goodies from Veronica.  It was filled with all sorts of items to get me ready for fall.  If only the weather in Texas would cooperate already.

Sweet handmade Fall card, a dish towel with pretty Fall fabric and matching jar filled with Fall flower pens (I have it on the kitchen counter next to the phone)

Muffin mix with fun Fall cupcake liners and decorative toothpick designs

A pretty leaf shaped dish with a tasty bag of candy corn (a must have for Fall!)

Fun giraffe print nail strips.  I need to have a “me” day to apply these soon

This was such a fun swap!  Thank you again Veronica!  And Thank You to Neely, Erin and Tracy  for hosting this great swap!  I’m looking forward to another one soon!

Have a GREAT day everyone!

    Hi Stacy,

    Sorry to hear that. I was reading the post about your mom. God is with her and with you. Is really sad. You are right life is short and we have to enjoy every day and be kind.

    Take care. Vilma Ochoa

    I’m glad that everything made it in one piece – I was a bit worried about the breakable items 🙂 I am sitting next to my wonderful smelling candle right now! Hope the rest of your week goes well 🙂

I love a Winter White outfit for the holidays!🎄 T I love a Winter White outfit for the holidays!🎄

These fun, textured Vegan Leather pants have a raw hem that makes it easy to just cut them for your perfect length.

I paired with a crystal embellished short sleeve sweater that’s even prettier in person and will look great with jeans too.

Friendships are an important part of our lives, so Friendships are an important part of our lives, so what better way to celebrate than with a Girlfriend’s Friendsgiving on our girl’s trip to Nashville.💖

We enjoyed spending time together and while there we gifted each other with some of our personal favorite things and Julie Vos jewelry is one of mine.💖

I think everyone would agree that @julievos jewelry is the perfect gift for every woman and we thank her for helping to make our celebration sparkle.💖 

I’m now calling these our “friendship bracelets”.💖

Annie wasn’t able to open her gift with us that day as she had to depart early for the birth of her first grandchild, but you can see that she loves her new jewels too!

Thanks to @blessingandsass @mcfatherdesigns @romyraves @arebelinprada for your friendship and support!

Be sure to visit the Julie Vos website for your holiday gifting needs and make a wishlist for yourself too!

Don’t you just love when you can count on the cons Don’t you just love when you can count on the consistent quality of a brand?! #ad

That’s how I feel about @soft_surroundings because I’m able to get staple pieces for my wardrobe every season and know that I’ll be able to incorporate them into my outfits for years to come.

These are just a few examples of pieces that I have that I love because they boost my confidence when I wear them.

Visit their website to find your wardrobe staples as well as some fun new things for the holiday season.

BONUS: They carry misses, petites and women’s sizes.🥰

I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand Balle I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand BallereTTe reached out to me a few weeks ago because I knew I’d be in Italy in November and they have a retail store in Venice that I could personally visit.

The brand was born in Rome and is inspired by the style and comfort needs of women. You can see some of their ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers and more in this video.

I tried on several pairs until I found the one that I knew will fit perfectly into my lifestyle. I also made note of a few styles that I will order in the future since they ship worldwide (quickly and for a small shipping fee).🎉

Fun fact - Each flat shoe is named after a district of the eternal city or a historically and culturally significant area. Because the story of @balleretteofficial is deeply rooted in the territory: handcrafted in Italy with leathers carefully selected in Italian factories.

Thank you BallereTTe for your hospitality, the excellent customer service and my new shoes! I love them!!💖

I always have mixed feelings on the last day of ev I always have mixed feelings on the last day of every vacation… I am so grateful for the amazing trip we’ve had, but I don’t want it to end.

Be sure to check my stories and Europe 25 Highlight for a peek at some of my favorite moments that started in Greece and ended here in Venice.

Do you have any fun travel plans?
