I won the “Sweet Life” gift basket on Book Room Reviews not too long ago, and I wanted to share with everyone all the goodies I received. Thanks to Tracy for holding the contest and to Mia King for her generosity. My husband is already claiming all of the macadamia nuts.
I just love the basket and the ribbon, the ribbon especially is a scrapbooker’s dream–so shimmery. I was so excited when the UPS man came, that I barely contained my enthusiasm to take the photo of the package before I dismantled it. The first thing I did, after checking for Mia’s signature on the books, was eat one of the delectable chocolate covered shortbread cookies. Yummy!
Thanks again to Tracy at Book Room Reviews. I love visiting her blog and I love her contests. You should check her out, here!
