I happily participated in Domestic Dork's Valentine's Day Blog Exchange (thanks again for hosting Holly!). I was partnered up with Restless Mama from The Restless Mama. She is a single mommy making her way through mommyhood with her adorable "bambino" - and they live in Hawaii. Let me say that again, HAWAII.
Don't you just love all the yummy treats she sent me? In her note Restless Mama said that Chocolate Covered Macademia Nuts are a huge treat in Hawaii. I ripped those cholocates open and gave 'em a taste, and YUM, I see why they're a big deal. She also sent along some Macademia nut shortbread cookies, a flower clip (the flower is called a Tiare and the local Hawaiian girls wear them all the time). My daughter loved it and ran off to put it in her hair... guess I'll be sharing! The last little package in the box was wrapped in beautiful Hawaiian paper and was this fun Aloha tile! The background is all of the meanings of Aloha! Love it! Thanks so much for all the great Valentine's treats, Restless Mama!
I have been patiently waiting to post this since I sent the package to Restless Mama because I love how the coasters I made for her turned out! To see what else I sent, visit Restless Mama's post! I had a great time reading her blog to get to know her a bit more so that I could send items that she would enjoy!
Thanks again Restless Mama! This was a great first blog gift exchange experience and I will definitely do it again.

How fortuitous was it that you love Dolphins and those chocolates were Dolphin shaped. Sweetness! So glad that you enjoyed the treats and that your little one loves the Tiare.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a pleasure to exchange gifts with you and go back to the days of junior high and pen pals.
Do keep in touch.

Oh my gosh! I love the dolphin chocolates! That is so cool! My mom would love those!
ReplyDeleteI saw the tiles on your partner's blog and thought they were fantastic! I especially love the one with the picture of her and her kiddo. That was really awesome of you to make and send that!
