I was paired with Mia and we got to know a little more about each other through a few e-mails. I enjoyed reading her blog and deciding what kind of journal to purchase after learning more of her personality and background.
When shopping for Mia's journal I knew I wanted to get one in her favorite colors, a deep sapphire blue or a seafoam green. I found one in a sapphire blue that was gorgeous, but I wasn't a huge fan of the quote that was on it so I passed.
Instead I found the 2 pictured below which I really liked and thought Mia would enjoy using. I wanted to enclose something else with the journals, so why not another mug?! Writers run on caffeine, right?
I made another one of my DIY coffee mugs personalized for Mia, and hope she loves it.
Mia did a wonderful job choosing my journal. I love gold, and bright colors so she nailed it with her selection. This pink and gold polka dot journal instantly makes me smile. She also included a notepad, which is great because I always use these around the house. The pens are awesome, I've never had a rollerball type of pen, but they write so nice and the metallic colors are really cool.
I loved this swap and had a lot of fun getting to know Mia and shopping for her. Thanks Cassie and Anne for hosting the #JournalSwapCreative !!
Ohhh, I LOVE that you went with the color scheme of Mia's blog!
