I participated in my first social media secret santa gift exchange and it was a success! I had so much fun "stalking" my recipient and getting to know her through her pictures. It's like a little community on IG and I have really enjoyed all the friendships I've made through it!

Ashton of @ashtonwearsthings hosted this genius and fun idea. Kudos to her because I know it's a lot of work putting something like this together. It can be stressful because you want it to go well. She gracefully squeezed me in even after the deadline so I was so happy for that! 

My recipient was @drcorey and she lives in Nebraska.  I sent her my package and it made it to her successfully. I was so happy she liked everything. 

I was so gitty when I saw my package had arrived on Tuesday! I love surprises! 

Look how cute even the little envelope was! She must know I like monograms! 

My secret santa was @typical_southernsweetheart (Alex) from Texas. She completely spoiled me! I mean look at all these goodies! So awesome! 

I hope its comes back around next year!
