i received some very lovely packages in the mail recently.
pretty packages are just the best to receive, don't you agree?
i mean, when the package is equally as pretty as
what's inside, that's a real treat. thought i'd share the
packaging as well as the goodies inside:
package one.
from belladrummer.
package two.
from One Fine Dae.
package three.
from saratops.
since this post is about packaging, i should make a mention about the lovely package exchange. i know many of you are wondering: what ever happened to that exchange? you signed up and nothing happened. i have no answer except that i am very truly and deeply sorry for getting you all excited and not following through. i did match everyone together, i just didn't take the next step in emailing the group leaders.
i think i took on too much, and it became too overwhelming for me. so what was the spring package exchange, will be pushed to the fall (after our september 25th wedding) as i still have all the info from the last sign ups. everyone will be emailed and if you can't participate at that time, then you'll just let your group leader know. more details to come much later. but i am very sorry to have dropped the ball friends. xo.
Wow! How pretty! ♥ And someone took the time to do that just for you! That would sure make me smile!

What pretty packages!!!
ReplyDeleteoh man... i feel like I'm missing out, is it possible to join in late since it's not happening until the fall?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the lovely package exchange is still on for this fall, Danni! Don't stress about putting too much on your plate; we all do it occasionally. I'm thankful that you even volunteered in the first place to organize such a large undertaking for the hundreds of us who wanted to participate!

wonderful packaging! now I want to go wrap stuff...
ReplyDeleteI'm tickled to hear that the package exchange is still on!! :D
I thought that I had missed some info/e-mail and someone in topeka was wondering around packageless.
hahaha ;D
have a lovely tuesday! ;)
What a wonderful idea! So sad that it's closed, I would love to participate in something like this!
ReplyDeleteLovely mail, indeed! Thanks for the update on the lovely package exchange ... no worries about the delay. I'm just excited it is still on - I've already picked up a couple things for my yet-to-be-announced partner. :)
ReplyDeleteI am relieved to know that I didn't fall through the cracks! Now I can excitedly look forward to fall!
ReplyDeletehow pretty. i love all the lovely mail. :)
ReplyDeleteYou give us something fun to do and look forward to! You put a lot of thought and care into the process and you want us all to have blast! I don't think anyone would enjoy it as much if we thought it was a burden on you. Don't apologies for having other things going on. Just know that when you are ready, in the fall or next spring, that you will have hundreds of nutcases who will be thrilled to get started!! :)
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful and inspirational packaging!!
ReplyDeleteDo not worry so much over the package exchange, we can definetly wait.Your life and what is going on around you at this moment are far more important.All I can do is send you a virtual hug and wish you-in advance- a happy marriage!Thanks for doing so much for us, take some time for you too.
ReplyDeleteI totally get how things get crazy!

Ooh they are SUCH lovely packages! I wish I was in the exchange, although I'm not sure my packaging skills are up to it!
ReplyDeleteIt's all so beautiful! Just the kind of mail we all hope to receive!
ReplyDeleteoohh, these are SO gorgeous and charming! i love when people take the time to do this, it's so sweet and thoughtful!
ReplyDeletewow, those packages you received are just beautiful! no worries on the lovely package exchange hun, you have too much on your mind w/ the wedding!! looking forward to participating in the package exchange after your wedding (and honeymoon)! thanks again for taking the time to organize it!
ReplyDeletethat bunting from saratops is just divine. i could add that to anything!
ReplyDeleteIf anybody ends up being unable to do the lovely package exchange in the fall, I would be so delighted to fill in! I've been dying to do one ever since I first read about the idea!! : -)
ReplyDeleteI too would love to participate, if a space opens up. If sounds delightful.
ReplyDeleteYour packages look amazing, and this exchange looks like so much fun filled with creativity and uniqueness. I'd love to participate too, when you are ready to get the ball rolling. I have added your blog to my favorites so that I can return and keep updated with your blog as it fills me with much inspiration. Happy Summer. :)
ReplyDeletedearest danni,
ReplyDeleteyou are such a sweetheart!
i think everybody here understand that's you went through a lot with your mum, taking care of the wedding etc. so you don't need to say sorry ever, since you're already doing SO MUCH! never forget that, dear.
and i am really looking forward to the package exchange this Fall! (what I said still counts, i can help you with anything, just email me and i'd like to be a group leader!)

Such pretty packages! Thank you also for giving an update - I always hate it when I don't get around to doing something whether from being too busy or some other reason and then I feel really guilty for not doing it and I avoid mentioning it, etc. It's nice of you to let us know about the postponement until fall and I will be looking forward to it! :)
