Nutella Party Swag


I recently had the&amp;nbsp;opportunity&amp;nbsp;to apply to host a Nutella party through MommyParties&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Mom Select.
&amp;nbsp;I was so excited when I found out that I was one of the lucky applicants to get picked. I tasted Nutella for the first time about six months ago.

Congrats to commentor #28 Cricket Saunders.

She is the winner of the Tipu&#39;s Chai tea giveaway! I will be emailing her in a moment.
