Don't know what I'm talking about? Get paired up with two strangers. Talk to them. Get to know them. Send one of them a fun care package "Cara Box" based on that month's theme combined with what you've learned about said person. The other does the same for you. See? Fun and addictive.
I won't lie, this month's theme was hard. I was quite disappointed in what I sent out compared to boxes past, but my sweet partner promises she liked it, so who am I to judge? The theme was fairs/circuses/carnivals since summer is officially here. I was paired up with Susanna and Katherine.
Susanna is clearly all about making memories with her kids. Her blog demonstrates the fun they have, often through pictures. Of course I had to include them in the box I sent her:
Katherine is a Graphic Designer (and clearly very talented)! She openly admitted she turned to Pinterest for ideas as well, so I don't feel so bad. Here's what I got to open up:
 |
| This fun little sign she made! |
 |
| What is a fair without cotton candy? I love the stuff? Looking forward to the bubble gum once I'm chewing normally again... |
 |
| A fun hand-made card and some adorable notebooks w/pen |
 |
| Plus she made this adorable banner since I love the carnival ambiance. This may be going up this week to celebrate Sean's birthday! |
Take a look at my previous Cara Boxes:
cute box!!! I too told myself I would take a month off and yet I signed up this morning!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing box you received! I really love that little pinwheel sign :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that pinwheel canvas! I might just have to pop over to her blog and tell her... then copy it for my own house! :) And your box looks like it turned out really cute even if you did struggle. Love the goldfish idea!

Sooo cute. I obvs love all the candy you received. I too said I was gonna take next month off but of course I signed up again. Here's hoping I get posted by tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYay!!! How fun! I love seeing everyone's ideas. This was a challenging theme for me as my first box but I'm super excited for July! Hope you recover fully soon!

How fun! I thought the theme was hard too! I googled for so long finding stuff to get for my partner!
ReplyDeletecute stuff :) I made a banner to send to my partner as well... something about bunting just screams festivals to me! This was my first month playing along but I see what you mean about being addictive, I can not wait for next month's nautical theme!
ReplyDeleteI linked up my reveal if you have time, stop by :) http://domesticdeficitdisorder.blogspot.com/2013/06/june-cara-box-reveal.html
I'm so glad you like your box! I definitely was going to pass this month as well but ended up giving in because I was too eager to find out what this month's Carabox theme was! A Carnival is definitely not complete without cotton candy! Hope you feel better soon!!
