So, in case you're wondering how it worked, I'll give you a lil' run down because you should totally consider participating next year! The girls sent out emails to everyone interested in participating with a little favorites sheet for you to fill out to help your Secret Santa shop for you! Then, they sent you the blogger who you'd be shopping for's sheet with their likes & address so you'd know what to shop for and where to send the gift! Easy peezy! And, the price range was very reasonable ($15-$25).
The second week in December everyone sent a card to their blogger with a few clues about themselves!
Here's the card I received from my awesome Secret Santa, Sarah, from Simply Sarah...
Sarah is in school to be a teacher, so we definitely share that passion, and I've really enjoyed reading her blog and finding out other interests that we share!
Unfortunately, I didn't think to take any pics of the things I sent to mine, Katy, from Brown Eyed Girl...I'm hoping she got it! I've also really enjoyed reading her blog!
And, the week leading up to Christmas, you sent your present and a note to reveal yourself! I sent Katy a necklace from the Limited, some cozy socks, and a "mini" OPI nail polish! I hope she liked it!
And Sarah sent me a FABULOUS assortment of goodies! I swear she shopped better for me than most people who know me well!
