Fall Package Swap!!

This year especially, I've really been anxiously waiting for fall. I don't know why I've wanted it so badly this year; perhaps it was because we never really had a summer? But I digress. I love Fall!! There's just something about it. The air is crisp, leaves are crunchy, and there's an excitement in the air. Whether it's about a new school year, a new job, or you're inspired by the change all around us in nature.

I thought it would really fun to participate in a Fall themed package swap! I was thinking about 3 items?

You can interpret it in several ways: things that remind you of fall, your fall comforts, things inspired by fall. 

I brainstormed a list of things that make me think "fall". I'm not saying necessarily to include them in your package. But hopefully they'll give you some fall inspired ideas!

-leaves, pumpkins, apples

-Colors: brown, charcoal, plum, orange, olive

-jewelry, scarves, journals, fall soundtrack, stationary (Tom Hanks and bouquet of sharpened pencils anyone?)

-hot cocoa, apple cider, snacks.

You can make or buy your items.

Sign-up by September 5th. I will pair everyone up and send you and email the next day. Please send your packages by October 5th! You can start putting it together now, then once you know your partner's info you'll have a month to send it! Please don't sign up and be lame and not send a package. It's sad. And this is something that will hopefully be really fun!

So what do you think? Sound like fun? Are you in??

To sign up:

-either leave a comment below with your email address

-or email me at kissedafrogblog@gmail.com

I'll send you an email and tell you what info I need from you!

If you know anyone else who would love to participate, spread the word!
