#2 I did my first swap!!!I joined theBasically I signed up with Susan and she sent me the name and address of another blogger who also signed up for the mug swap. Then you check out their blog, find out their style, make a new friend, and send them a mug. My swap buddy is Jessie from 

And she sent me the most beautiful mug!

I love it so much! It is a little larger than a regular coffee mug (which means more coffee!). I love the lace like details on the top and I LOVE black and white. 

Thanks Jessie for a wonderful mug!

We had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday.

A house full of family.
