True Colors Surprise

I am sooooo bad. This post is so very late in coming.  I should have taken care of it before now....but summer has been wild.  Back in June I signed up for a meme called True Colors over at Jessica's blog Duck Duck Cow.  I thought it sounded like something fun and believe me it was.  Jessica randomly matched two of us and we provided a box for the other that was valued at somewhere between $20 - $30.  Each person then contacted the other and told a bit about ourselves and then the gathering frenzy began. I have to admit that I had about as much fun putting the box together as I did getting a box.  Anyways, about a week after Father's Day I got my surprise from Alexia in Michigan. 
She could not have pegged me better if she had tried.  I love coffee in the morning (especially since we got the Keurig machine) and so one of my prizes was one of those ceramic Starbucks takeout looking cups.  I love this thing.  I love having it in my car AND C.K. Stitches sent me a coffee cup wrap that fits it perfectly so that my cup does not burn my hand. 
Alexia also sent me three really heavy musical notes that are going on my music wall in my Still Magnolia room (aka living room) when I get some of those 3M wall mount things.  I am going to scatter them around our posters.  Won't that be cute?  She also included a Francine Rivers(one of my favorite authors) book that is part of a trilogy I have been dying to read.  As you can see I have already started the book.  That is one thing I do during the summer is read voraciously. 
Thank you a bizillion times over for the great stuff Alexia and Thanks goes out to Jessica for hosting this fun event.  I just have one question for you.....when is the next one?

A True Color Swap...How Fun!

I was reading blogs last night after we got home from seeing "Pirates...."  My blogger buddy Mary over at Mary the 1st I am, I am, had a post about a new thing she was doing that really excited me so I headed over to Jessica G's, the blogger who is hosting a True Colors Swap on her blog, and decided I would join in the fun.  It is about time I just indulged in something fun.  I just put the 22nd year of my teaching career to bed and I have been so busy trying to tie up all those end of the year things. I have blogged every day....but my sparkle seems to have dimmed a bit....and that is why I was so excited that Jessica put together this swap! My last twenty months has been one of those LIFE happened moments for me...You do not have to be my friend or follower to do this....just click on the links I gave you...all you have to do is go to DuckDuckCow and sign up with Jessica.  I am not going to give you the specifics....just go on over and read them first hand.  Come on...you know you want to join us & maybe you'll be one of the ones I send a special package too.  Are you still here?  I thought you would already have clicked on the link and be signing up.
