Cold Hands Warm Hearts

Perhaps you noticed the new little button on the side of my blog promoting a swap I am participating in hosted by sandyalamode and muchlove,illy (two blogs I recently started following). Now, this swap holds a special place in my heart because I have particularly cold hands. In fact, my hands are so cold that my mother used to cup them in her hand, shake her head and solemnly say,

"Mariel, your hands are so cold, no one will ever love you."

I kid you not. My own mother said this to me as a direct result of my hand temperature. So, while I am hoping this won't come true (that is, the 'no one will ever love me' part), I have decided that it is quite appropriate for me to participate in this blogger swap! And, being that it is my first. swap. ever., I am super pumped! You should definitely head over to Sandy's blog and check it out for yourself!
