Blogging Holiday Love from My Pretty Pennies

I received a lovely holiday gift today from My Pretty Pennies, who is a very inspiring personal finance blogger I discovered earlier this year through Pencil Skirts and Pearls.  MPP and I participated in the Blogging Holiday Love event organized by Kaileen Elise, Chelsea Bea (of Pencil Skirts and Pearls) and Carolyn (of Hang on Tomato) and it was a blast to prepare the goodies I sent to MPP.  And it was also lots of fun to open MPP’s super thoughtful gift.  As you can see from the pictures above and below, it was a four-part extravaganza of holiday warmth, cheer, sweets and sparkle.  I was so touched by MPP’s thoughtfulness.  All the items were so in line with my likes – and for the DVD and the armwarmers, MPP included really lovely notes about the gifts (you can see one just above the DVD):

MPP included a puzzle card in the Happy Holidays envelope:

 I was really touched by all this kindness and holiday cheer.  Thank you MPP and thank you to Kaileen Elise, Chelsea Bea and  Carolyn for organizing such a fun event!
