Monday mish-mash

A few weeks ago I signed up to play Gracie Beth's Football Swap over at Preppy Southern Princess. I hit the jackpot with my swap partner, the lovely Lindsay from One Day at a Time. She's a fellow Gamecock gal, and all the stuff she gave me is super cute! Here are 2 pictures- one of her creative and cute wrapping, and another of all the cool loot I got.

Cute wrapping, huh? And don't look too closely at the corner of the picture in the background. That's WEG's Clemson diploma. I guess I should have chosen a better location to do my picture taking, huh?



T-shirt, several stickers with my monogram in garnet, key chain, car coaster, magnet, face tattoos, and earrings.

I hope she likes my package I sent her as much as the one she sent me. And props to Gracie Beth for hosting such a neat swap!!

In other news, I have worn my tie neck dress that Polka Dots and Protein Bars made for me twice now. Both times I wore it to watch the Gamecocks play. I got her to do garnet and black, so it's perfect! The first time I wore it without leggings (and forgot to take a picture) and the 2nd time I wore it with leggings and ballet flats. Here's a picture.



And yes, I feel rather silly posing by myself, but isn't the dress so cute? If you haven't checked out PD&PB's new site for her creations, definitely check it out at Hems & Hers.

This week is super busy for me. Our board of visitors comes to town for meetings on Thursday and Friday and then we have to entertain them at the football game on Saturday, so I will be one busy girl! My posts will be few and far between for a little bit because as soon as the BOV meetings are over, I have Career Evening next Tuesday, which is an undertaking!!

And I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but did any of y'all see this story? It's so sad- that girl needs A LOT of prayers right now. Can you imagine losing your soon to be husband on the morning of your wedding to such a tragic accident? It reminds me to always be mindful of stoplights and wear my seatbelt no matter what!

Okay lovelies, have a wonderful week!
