Sneak Peek Springtime Swap...for sweet Amity&Allure...

...sweet Joy!

i'm participating in Sweet Dionne's Springtime Swap over here

and i've been paired up with the lovely+sweet, Joy of amity&allure.

please go check out her gorgeous blog...

she's a sweetheart and i'm sure you're going to just love her like i sure do!!!

Joy is a new mommy to a precious lil' boy, Grayson (how sweet is his name?) and has just moved to a beautiful new home last August.

Joy just started her blog and it's filled with gorgeous photographs, beautiful posts of her life, her sweet family, her exciting adventures, her designs, interesting tidbits on fashion, interior designs and simply enchanting blogs she's discovering...

you name it...just a beautiful place to visit and dream!

we've exchanged a few e-mails to find out what our interests are for this swap. there were so many things that i found on my treasure hunt but we're keeping it a surprise until we both have received our packages. the post office said Joy will be getting her package in about 6-10 business days...i'm hoping she'll get it before Easter, but if not...her lil' family can enjoy the things i'm sending even after Easter...once Joy lets me know she's received my pack, i'll post pics of what i sent...in the meantime...enjoy lil' sneak peeks of her prezzies...hoping Joy will like them...

well, that's it for now...until then...have a Happy April!!!
