The Great Pumpkin Swap reveal

This year, I was paired with Nicole at Adventures of a Semper Fi Family. She's on a bit of a social media/blogging hiatus, but we exchanged emails to get to know each other a little better. She's a reader who has to capture fall in her coffee beverages because there's not much of it in the air where she lives. I can relate after four years in Texas in my early 20s. I tried my best to send a little fall to her.

Last week, I received a package from her. When I opened it, I admired all the colorful tissue paper and read the very thoughtful card.

The collection of teas are going with me to work to help me warm up during the day.

I can't wait to dive into the book she sent. I'm currently reading a romance series, but I like to change it up. The thriller might be up next.

Unfortunately, the candle didn't quite survive the trip, but I'm still burning it. On a plate so the wax that escapes the broken glass won't get all over the counter.

The socks are currently in the laundry as I wore them immediately upon receipt.

Shopping for her was a lot of fun, and I hope she enjoys the package I sent her as much as I've enjoyed the goodies she sent me.

Thanks to Kristin and Becky for hosting this wonderful swap.
