After a few days of tank tops and flip flops, when we thought our coats and sweaters could finally be put away along came the gusts of wind, the scattered showers and the cold weather. So my socks are back on and I got my sweatshirt out of the deep recesses of my closet. On Saturday I recieved a little package in the mail. I had won a few giveaways over the past few weeks and I expected it to be another prize. I say this without meaning to offend or seem ungrateful but not all prizes excite me as other. Some I wait for while others I forget I was even expecting. This little package definitely took me by surprise. Inside was the most gorgeous necklace ever. The colors just right, I wore it immediately and didn't take it off all day. Went out with friends and coordinated my wardrobe to work with the necklace. M was also a big fan of it, interestingly enough with the cool blues around my neck my hotness level shot through the roof. : ) But that was not all that came in the package.
