What’s in a Box???
August 26th, 2008 by April
Well….this last week was filled with lots of boxes and surprises!
Last Tuesday the fed ex guy delivered a huge box to my door and I had no idea where it was from so I quickly read the label and it said Vera Bradley. Now…I honestly only recently found out about Vera Bradley bags and that they are very popular. I actually have some friends that started their own club for people who own these bags and even if you didn’t want one before, you certainly will after talking with them! lol
So anyway, back to the box….
So I’m still like…okay why the heck am I receiving a box from Vera Bradley and then I open it up to find this beautiful Green box! I am so darn excited by this point…keep in mind I still have no clue who sent this to me…I just proceed to stare at the box and then I grab my camera and call my mother! After going on and on about the box, she finally says, “Well why don’t you open it?????”
So I did! And in the lovely green box was a gorgeous “Java Blue” Tote from Vera Bradley!!!! I had recently been talking to a good friend of mine about the bags and she said that her and her daughters just loved them and always put them on their Christmas lists. She said, “They just make me Happy”!
Well all I can say is to her is…It just made me Happy too and Thank You Thank You Thank You!! I love and adore you and heck…I would have been happy with just the Green Box!
BOX #2
As you can see, Box #2 does not even need an intro…this beauty can stand on it’s own! Oh My gosh I freakin love Godiva Chocolates and this is only the 2nd box I have ever been given in my life. This came as a total surprise too and Jen…I just have to say that YOU ROCK! Well yes I have said that many times before actually…because for those of you who don’t know…my good friend Jennifer is actually my scrapbook idol! I totally look for her for inspiration. I really don’t know what I did to deserve something as wonderful as a box of Godiva Chocolates, but I just want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! And just know that this little gold beauty is currently sitting right next to my scrap desk…for inspiration of course!
So all that’s left is BOX #3
* First of all, this tea is totally awesome! Or as my friend LeAnne would say, ” It’s Phenomenal!”
I found this on a recent trip to Whole Foods Market and I used it to make iced tea while I was in Texas. I am having an extremely hard time finding this anywhere else though…Target carries the same brand, but I can not find it in this flavor. anyway, if you like green tea and mint, then you will love this!
* Second, I am showing this box because it actually represents 4 Secrets about the upcoming 2009 MemoryVilla Retreat! Of course I can’t tell you what they are…but I would love to hear your guesses!
Have a wonderful day and Happy Scrapping!
April
I loved you post yesterday..Your daughter is soooo Beautiful…
About the guesses…first I would like to say is that Vera Bradley boxes are out of this world…The tote ROCKS!!!
Ok my guess is that there are actually 4 boxes…And we’ll get smaller versions of the boxes…but our tote will be lg filled with all kinds of scrappy things….
I hope I was even close….
Have a great day!
The retreat is going to be “going green” and “relaxing”? I don’t know lol One thing I do know - if you don’t start eating those chocolates then you just send them my way. I will even let you keep the box - just send the chocolates!! My grandmother used to buy Godiva chocolates for me all of the time when I was a little girl (and even when I got bigger). I guess I will have to head to Dillard’s to get me a box now….
looks like you got some good surprises
Hola mi amiga.
I sure do wish my mailbox was as happening as yours seems to be! Man- have you got some happy mail lately or WHAT? My guess are as follows… we will be doing Yoga… or watching Yogi Bear cartoon reruns…. we will be recycling things into beautiful artforms… and I sure as HADES hope that it doesn’t mean that my beloved Dr. Pepper is being replaced by TEA. Just saying. See you soon!
Wow! April, was it your birthday? That is an awesome mailbox! Mine just has bills and such! haha! Congrats on the new Vera and welcome to the madness!
OHHHHH, AHHHHHHHH, I just love that you are so excited about your VERA HAPPY…. isn’t it awesome!
It amazes me that they can make us feel such joy!
And the wonderful part… we get to carry them with us wherever we go.
Welcome to the Club!

my guesses: uplifting, natural, for your spirit, ok that is it- that’s all I have. So when r u going 2 tell us???? That is torture teasing us like that!
I would love to get good stuff like that in the mail.
My guess for the retreat is that we all get chocolate from Godiva and when we get all wired up on the cafine in the chocolate, we get tea to calm us down. Maybe we get some kind of bag to carry our stuff in that we buy at the amazing store you always seem to put together. Am I close?
