"How the Glitz Stole Christmas" Blog Swap Link-Up!

Dun, dun, dun ... the day has finally arrived.  It's time for us to show off what we got for Raven and I's "How the Glitz Stole Christmas" bloggy swap!

I hate to brag (no I don't), but I had a pretty amazing swap partner.  Meet Ashley and her precious 7-year-old daughter Madilynn from The Simple Things ...

So, so cute!  What else is cute are all the goodies she sent me for the swap, which arrived in this perfect gold box.

Wanna see what was in the cute gold box?  Check, check, check it out ....

This travel-sized OPI Nail Treatment kit with 3 mini OPI nail treatments, nail wipes and polish nail remover:

Along with Wocka Wocka from OPI's Muppet collection:

It's a really pretty subtle shimmery red and perfect for winter!!

What's that under my hand in the picture above? Oh, that's the Simply Vera by Vera Wang white and gold studded clutch I got as well. It's gorge and I will for sure be using this the next time I go out.

Last, but not least, she also sent me these trendy tribal fashion "boo-boo" bandages and polka dot nail files:

Girlfrand hooked me up!!  Thank you SO MUCH Ashley! I love it all and couldn't have asked for a better partner.  If you want to see what I got Ashley, click here.

I've been making some guest appearances lately, so here's where you can find me around the web:

Today I'm over at Jac and Leah's blog "Sweet and Sour Showers" dishing on the Cupcakes and Cocktails shower I threw recently. 

And on Friday I was over at Lindsey's blog "Keep it Classy, Alabama" blogging out my Dos and Donts for a trip to The Big Easy!

"How the Glitz stole Christmas" Blogger Swap!

Seasons Greetings boos! Lindsey and Raven here from The Bargain Blonde and A Momma's Desires and Pacifiers!

This week we realized we were headstrong into the month of November, which means Thanksgiving feasts soon, snow (for some of us anyway) and Christmas and Hanukkah are on the horizon! We don't know about you girls, but this time of year is our absolute favorite so we wanted to kick this month off right.

The holiday atmosphere, the closeness of friends and family, Santa's magic, giving back, presents, shimmer and shine, etc; All of these elements led us to create our FIRST ever ....

"How the Glitz Stole Christmas Blog Swap!"

We figured who doesn't love gifts and meeting other bloggers? We sure love us some bling and we're sure y'all do too! So let's swap some glitz and glam gifts this holiday season.

Anything goes, but it has to be glitzy, glamourous, shiny, shimmery, sparkly, glittery...you get the idea! This swap has a $25 spending limit! Ideas include cold weather accessories, shimmery makeup, sparkly clothing/jewelry, glittery ornaments, etc. Whatever your little glitz heart desires.  Official rules are as follows:

Want to participate? Just leave one of us a comment with your email address and we will randomly match you with someone else and notify you of the next steps. Then when we all receive our goodies, we will link up back here and everyone can go to each others blogs and see what they got! A great way to have fun, get some glam presents and meet new bloggers! 

So spread the word and tell your bloggy friends to come get swapped up with us for the first ever "How the GLITZ stole Christmas".  Sounds complicated, but we swear it's not! At all. And if anyone has any questions about how this works, do NOT hesitate to e-mail one of us or leave your questions in the comments.


You ladies down for some bedazzled fun?  We are!

XOXO,
Lindsey & Raven
