Valentine linkup

I'm trying to be more selective in the swaps I participate in this year, because it's easy to get carried away. When two of my favorite people, Melissa and Rima announced their Valentine swap I couldn't resist. 

Everyone was encouraged to make a donation to the American Heart Association as part of this swap, which I was more than happy to do. Then I got to shopping for Leah, I had a blast picking out goodies for her! 

As much as I love an excuse to shop, the best part of this swap was coming home to this:

I have never received such an adorably wrapped package by mail! One of my favorite bloggers/people, Evani from Simply Evani sent me an amazing Valentine's package!

I was so impressed by the adorable details she added; I put that cute burlap and washi tape heart on my bulletin board to keep. 

Girlfriend covered all of my favorite things: tea and an adorable mug to drink it from, cute lavender ribbon and bakers' twine along with a stamp {A for Allie!} and cute polka dot washi tape, and some amazing smelling lavender bubble bath! I love that she had a theme going throughout the whole package, and that everything was perfectly suited to me. 

Here's the other side of the mug; how appropriate for me!

I love anything Godiva and dark chocolate is my favorite-- this dark chocolate sea salt bar is a-ma-zing. Matt and I split half of it last night after dinner, and even he said he has a new favorite chocolate.

Sweet Evani even included Casey! She got him this cute little fox toy that reminds me of someone...

they're practically twins!

Thank you, Melissa and Rima, for putting together a fantastic Valentine swap, and thank you, thank you, thank you to Evani for the amazing pack of goodies you sent me! We would definitely be BFFs if we didn't live on opposite coasts, and I would even share the delicious chocolate with you!
