August Cara Box Reveal {Link Up}

I am so excited to see all of the Cara Boxes that were sent this month!Today is the day for all of the lovely ladies who participated in this month's Cara Box Exchange to reveal their amazing boxes!If you want to know more about the Cara Box Exchange, click on the tab at the top of my blog (:August's theme was "Seasons of Life". There wasn't a specific theme, per say, but the box centered around the fact that partners were made based on age and stage of life. You were supposed to get to know your partner and fill a box with a bunch of items that they would personally love.My beautiful partners were Desiree & Sierra.Desiree is such a sweetheart and I had so much fun getting to know her! She and her husband share our family's love for football and she is also a mama herself. She has a precious little boy. I found out we have a lot of things in common and it was great getting to make her a box full of her favorite things. If you want to "meet" her and see what I sent her, go check out her blog.Sierra and I have "known" each other for a little while. She was featured in my small business series because she owns a shop and makes some of the prettiest handstamped jewelry and items! I constantly stalk her and her cute little boy on Instagram, so I was extremely excited when I saw she was sending to me!
She created the sweetest, most personalized Cara Box. Some delicious dark chocolate (my favorite!), recipe cards for all my cooking adventures, a keychain for me to put a picture of Rilynn in once she is born...

She hand painted an "R" and a block in the colors of our nursery - also using chevron, which I am obsessed with...

Her little boy Jaxon sent Rilynn a gift too with a tag that read: "Here is something I can't live without. Hope you will love it as much as I do."

And then I saw this. Sierra handstamped a keychain for Ryan to have. I got tears in my eyes. It was so thoughtful for her to include something for him, as this is really his first "dad" item.

Lastly, she handstamped the cutest baby spoon...
This will be such a treasured item because it has her name on it and I love the little carved out heart on the handle too!Sierra did an amazing job with my box. I loved getting to talk to her so much this month and even though I knew her a little before, I now feel like she is a close friend. I wish she lived down the street so we could just go grab some coffee together (:So now I want to see! What did you get this month in your box? Link up your reveal post below.Keep an eye out on September 3 for the next Cara Box sign up! It will be a new format, with new rules, including moving to a 3 month swap. You will get a lot longer to know your partners which I believe will be so much better! You don't want to miss it because the next sign up won't be until December.
