snail mail & a giveaway

I love getting mail. I love it even more when you get something really sweet or unexpected on a really crappy day. Yesterday, I got my Snail Mail Collective package from the very sweet Lauren! Which was perfect timing because it was just the pick-me-up I needed for such a wretched Monday. 

It was really fun getting to know Lauren, who blogs over at Going Green: Our Army Adventure. Lauren is the first Military wife I have come in contact with through the SMC and was such a sweet person to get to know. Her package was so thoughtful and was so perfectly timed! The theme for this past month was "grateful," so her package was filled with all sorts of goodies associated with things Lauren is thankful for. A sleeping mask for that much needed nap we both need but can't seem to sneak in, pens and notepad for doodling breaks, a wine bottle holder because a glass of wine at the end of day can soothe all ails, and chocolate because chocolate makes everything better! Perfect! 
Head on over and check out Lauren's great blog, she's a very inspiring lady and I'm SO grateful to have been partnered with her this month. Curious about the Snail Mail Collective? Melyssa and Chelsea are only hosting it for one more month! Become a part of it while you still can! I have met so many inspirational and wonderful ladies over the last 6 months because of it. Plus it's always a nice surprise to get a little something in the mail...

On to the giveaway! I'm currently sponsoring the very talented and sweet Chantilly over at Chantilly Songs. Right now she's hosting a giveaway for $25 credit towards the Sketchy Notions shop! Head on over and check out Chantilly (did I mention she's a very talented musician?) and enter for your chance to get some Sketchy Notions goodies!

  5. Whoa. That wine in line thing looks like the thing that would complete my life. Okay, a little overstated, but it might be true ;) Yay for packages that make Mondays brighter!
