What was inside my Shop Swap package?

You may remember my future posts, explaining what the Oh Hello Shop Swap was that I had signed up for.  Then in another blog post, I showed you a sneak peek of what I packaged up for my lucky partner.  Well, I haven't yet shown you the plethora of goodies that I ended up with from the highly talented Shelly Dozier-Mckee of ConfettiStyle Interiors.

Ooh, what's in here?

I'm so excited! Which pretty package do I open first?

Love these scrapbooking and office supplies.

How cute is this little bamboo box filled with holiday hair pins?

Some homemade coasters, a holiday sachet, and a modgepodged mini clipboard, all right up my alley!

Now, a little bit about my new friend:

• After working for 15 years for Eddie Bauer, in the fashion industry, Shelly started a boutique interior design company in Atlanta, GA.   She specializes in residential design and holiday decor.
• She also designs jewelry made from vintage furniture hardware.  She even had one of her necklaces featured in Country Living.
• Shelly was the runner up in the Scotch Brand Most Gift Wrapper Contest, this year.  She loves wrapping presents, just like me!
• Her motto in life is to live with no regrets, see her passion for design, entertaining, gifting and fashion on her blog, ConfettiStyle.  

Oh hello Shop Swap package

In my previous post I told you about a wonderful opportunity that I was taking advantage of with Oh hello friend - a Shop Swap package exchange with a special stranger.  Well I received my assignments of who to send my holiday package to.  (I can't wait to see what she sends me!  I will show you photos in another blog post.)  Below is everything that I have included to her.

I love cute little tins, so I filled the square one with my most popular seller,  my Pink and White Cupcake Flags. The round one contains my Purple and Grey Textured Confetti with some wooden stamped mustache sticks.  Wrapped in Kraft paper, a pink doily and a handmade ivory felt flower bow are my Cabochon Hair Bobby Pins.

In this Mini Kraft Gable Box I included a wooden spool of pink polka dot washi tape, some pink twine, pink and orange cupcake flags and a little bit of pixie dust, complete with wand of course!

When opening this white gift box, decorated with Washi Tape, she will discover items from my Up in the Air Stationary Kit such as mini envelopes, paper cardstock balloons, pink and cloud Washi tape and mini glitter clothespins.  

I believe that paper straws are a staple to any party, so I am sending along some gray and blue and white striped paper straws in this decorative sleeve adorned with a stamped "hello."

Hello Shop Swap friend!  So nice to meet you!  I hope that you enjoy your gift package, its on its way!

Brown paper packages tied up with string......

these are a few of my favorite things.

Everything looks better when its in pretty gift wrap.  I was recently asked by The Skin Place, a cute local shop with amazing skin products, to brainstorm some packaging for her bottles.  I had so much fun putting a variety of boxes and decorations together that I decided to offer my gift wrapping services to the masses. So I added a gift wrap and packaging section to my Etsy shop.  You can choose my gift wrap as an add-on to your other purchases in my store, or you can by the packaging, unassembled.  The possibilities are really endless as far as sizes and shapes of boxes, materials, colors and embellishments so if you just contact me, I can make something just for you!

Here are just a few examples:
