Christmas Mug Swap Reveal 12-17-12

This year has been my first year to follow other bloggers, and interact with them.  I am pretty new to the blog world.  Don't get me wrong, I have blogged for a couple of years, but I didn't get really involved and follow blogs, and do blog hops till this year.  I have to say it is really fun, and I think you meet some of the nicest people out there in blog land.  The mug swap is just another way to meet some very nice people.  Read below and you will see what I am talking about.


Today is the day.  We get to reveal our Christmas mug that we received.   I have to say this is my "first" mug swap, and I have really enjoyed being a part of it.
I would love to say "Thank You" to Heather Kaluf of Heatherly Loves for hosting the swap.  I have to say you have made it very easy, and for us first timers we really do appreciate it.  Thumbs up all the way!!!




Now, back to my mug!!!  I received a box about a week ago, and I knew it was my mug!!!  I was so excited...I tore into it, and was so excited to see one of the cutest Christmas Penguin I had ever seen.  Not only did I receive a mug, but also got some yummy Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Coffee.  Yum is all I can say!!!  Thank you so much Michelle from Elk Grove, CA.  I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas...I will sitting around the fire sipping on my Peppermint Mocha Coffee in my awesome Penguin mug!!!  Thanks soooo much!!!

Here is a pic of my mug and coffee....now don't you wish you had been involved in a Christmas Mug Swap!!!   :)


I enjoy blogging, and I write 2 blogs.  I have one for biker chick that I am...LOL...which is My Life As We Know It, and I have one for the decorator that I am during the week, and it is Blinds & Designs Too.  I hope you will follow me and my crazy life at one or maybe even both of my blogs.

Merry Christmas to everyone out there in blog land and to you that don't blog, Merry Christmas as well  :)  Love you all!

    Diane, I came over from the mug swap reveal just to be nosy and see what you received. Great penguin mug! I read other posts and thought your friend's nose ring joke was hilarious!

    Hi Diane!

    Thanks for stopping by Planned in Pencil! Just so you know, and you may already but your email is set to "no-reply" which means that I can't reply to your comments via email :(.

    Such a sweet little penguin mug! I'm glad you had such a positive experience with your first swap! I too am a fan of the nose ring gag.

    I agree - that mug is adorable! I've been skimming through your bike stories and must say I am jealous. My husband has a bike he bought 2 years ago and I have yet to go for a ride with him yet - never easy to find babysitters and good weather on the same days. Following both your blogs!

      Thanks April. I hope you are able to find time to ride. It is really nice theropy...When you hava had the worst day you can imagine, you get on the bike and it all fades for awhile. We usually ride over 20,000 miles a year but of course we don't have little ones. Hope you find a babysitter and get good weather so you can enjoy the wind in your face. Thanks for following :)
