Cuppa Kim's Blogiversary Mug Swap-a-roo (and mini-giveaway)!!

THANKS TO ALL WHO SIGNED UP - MUG SWAP IS CLOSED - YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM ME SHORTLY!!!

HEY HEY HEY!
Guess what!?
I have been blogging for almost ONE FULL YEAR over here on

A Cuppa Kim.

Wootie to the Woot Woot!

HOOTIE HOO!!

I was trying to figure out something fun to do in celebration.
So, the wheels started turning...

And I came up with the idea of doing a...

MUG SWAP!

What is a Mug Swap you ask?

It is simple. I promise.

It is what it sounds like.

First, you email me - cuppakim@gmail.com (or leave a comment on this post, just make sure your email address is enabled) letting me know that you want in.
If you email, be sure to give me your mailing address.
If you comment, I will reply, and ask you to provide me your address. (don't leave your address in a comment).

Then, you wait. And once the sign ups close (Last Day to Sign Up, 2:00PM PST on Sunday, August 14), you will get an email from me (at some point on August 15th) stating who you are sending a mug to, and their address!

So, what you need to do now is go pick out a mug - any kind - from anywhere - it can be new, it can be vintage, it can be something you had stored in your closet for the last eight years - just maybe not a crusty one that you found sitting around your house filled with mold (not that that has ever happened to me).


A few suggestions of places to find fun mugs are Cost Plus, Anthropologie, Target, Starbucks, heck, even the Dollar Tree or a thrift store. I would say try not to spend more than $10-$15 - but you can DEFINITELY spend less.

But the important thing is, just pick something YOU would like to receive.

Something FUN. CUTE. CLEVER. PRETTY. FUNKY. Whatever your little heart desires.

And then, before August 23rd, THE BLOGIVERSARY, you mail that mug to your assigned mug buddy!
And in the mean time, somebody else will be sending YOU one!

See how that works?
Fun, yes?
I hope so.

This is one of those things that is the more, the merrier! So please, let others know that you are participating in A Cuppa Kim's Blogiversary Mug Swap! Here is a cute little button to let people know that you are getting muggy with it!

I am excited to see what kind of fun mugs you give and receive! And, after is all said and done, if you want, send me a picture of your mug (given, or received, or both), I'd love to share a post of how this turns out!

And yes, you can participate if you don't have a blog. And yes, any kind of mug works - coffee mug, teacup, traveler mug. The rules here are kinda loosey goosey.

AND NOW, here is where it gets really SPICY!
And by spicy, I mean FUN.

THE MINI-GIVEAWAY

Everyone who participates in the swap will be entered to win a little gift pack from yours truly, including a $15 Starbucks Gift Card, Assorted Teas, an ADORABLE Tea Towel in the same print as the mug up top, and a few more to be determined items - so, one of you will be getting some stuff to FILL their mug with! I will announce the winner of the prize pack on August 23rd!

Do you want an extra entry? Okay. Tweet about the swap. Post the button on your blog. Or BLOG about the swap. You get one entry for each of those. You know you wanna post the button, it's freaking CUTE.

I hope this is as fun for you as I think it would be for me! Nobody is obligated to participate. But it definitely will make my heart happy if you do. Just something fun. For the sake of doing something fun. Got it?
