Valentine 'Bloggy Love' Swap

Here's wishing you all a very happy Valentine's Day!

This morning, I opened my Bloggy Swap parcel from Dawn from Life on the East Coast and look what I found:
So many pretties in one package.... sorry there's no 'before' photo, because I forgot my camera in my eagerness to open it up!
There's everything a girl could wish for ... a Yankee Candle, some CK handcream, some choccies (which won't last long), not one, but two, crochet hearts and a lovely length of ribbon with a heart design. Dawn has also included a heart shaped cutter ... which was funny because I put one in her parcel too! Great minds think alike!

Thank you so much Dawn I loved everything, and a big thank you to Jackie at Sew Special Bears for organising the swap. She's got another swap starting right now if you're itching to do another one!

We both decided to wait till today to open our parcels, so we could at least be sure of receiving something on this special day, just in case our men folk let us down ..... but Mr B. remembered in the nick of time! Good for him!

Thank you all for so many kind messages left on my last post, when I was whinging about my back. Well, the power of positive thinking has worked a small miracle ... and I feel so much better. We're going to chance the trip to London after all ... with lots of stops on the way so I can have a stretch. 
Fingers crossed it all works out..... and I'll show you photos of the trip at the weekend!
