One of the things I can say I love most about blogging is the people that you have the pleasure of meeting. Brandi was one of my first followers of my blog and dang it she is just so sweet! I mean she is popular throughout blogland and it's not because she is some pushy obnoxious follower either.
It's because she always has kind words for her fellow bloggers, supports you 100 percent, and home girl has some serious talents for making treats and pillows. Seriously, one of my main motivations for moving to Georgia would be so that I can hit her up for some of her smoothies and snacks;)
Anywho, Brandi contacted me a month ago about an awesome idea for a favorite things swap with some of our fellow bloggers. If you have read my post on my favorite things party you know already that this is such fun to do and I was definitely game.
Each participating blogger had to choose their partner and they had a month to get to swapping. I chose Elesha from Seven Palmetto Lane because she too is one of my sweet followers that I have grown to absolutely adore. Funny thing is that we even go to the same church and discovered it after meeting in blogland, I mean seriously the world is too small!
After exchanging favorite things with this lovely lady I discovered that we have more in common than I thought. You can see some of my favorite things that I exchanged with her on her blog today but right now I would like to share with you 6 of the favorite things she purchased for me. Each blogger had a $25 price point to help guide us with our purchases (including shipping).
1) Marvin Sapp CD
2) A CD by John Legend
3) Revlon Nail Polish
4) Cheaters by Eric Jerome Dickey
5) Essence Magazine March 2012
6) In Sheep's Clothing by Mary B Monroe
So there you have it! Those are Elesha's favorite things! Now head over to her blog to see some of my favorite things. Also check out a list of the other participating bloggers over at Brandi's blog and enter her giveaway!
