Secret Santas Revealed!

So last week I shared that Emily from Our Waldo Bungie (check out her blog, she rocks) had the awesome idea of doing a Secret Santa with a few pittie obsessed focused bloggers, dubbed the Pittie Posse.

The participants for the Pittie Posse Secret Santa are:

Two Pitties in the City

Two Grad Students and a Pittie

That Touch of Pit

Pittieful Love

Love and a Six-Foot Leash

Our Waldo Bungie

And now it's time to reveal who my Secret Santa was!! Drum roll please....

My Secret Santa was Aleksandra from Love and a Six-Foot Leash!

It was so fun to see a package in the mail from her. She actually used to live really close to me, but has since moved to Mars Austin, TX so her gift had a little farther to travel.

When it came in, Nemo gave it a good once-over to make sure it was safe for me. He's such a gentleman that way.

After he gave it the all-clear, I opened everything up.

A+ wrapping job!

On the inside was a card, two photos - one of Dora the Explorer, one of Sir Chick - a card, and a poster (wrapped in that awesome paw-print tissue paper).

First, I have to highlight the photos. Aleks is a real pro so you know they're good. How cute are Chick and Dora?

I have a real soft spot for Chick...

And the great card...

The real gift du jour though is the awesome custom poster she included:

Aleks told me that Dora insisted on using her signature raspberry pink and Dora gray color combination for it.

When I opened the gift up I was super psyched because I've had a picture with that saying pinned on pinterest for a really long time. It's a nice thick poster too, so it'll really hold up well.

Thanks so much Aleks! I can't wait to get it hung up somewhere!

And since it's reveal day, I can share that I was Pittieful Love's Secret Santa. Make sure you head over there to see what I got for them! (I hear that Knox was pretty happy with it!)

Happy Holidays everyone! No matter what you celebrate - Christmas, Hanukkah, or Festivus - I hope you have a great one filled with love, laughter, and good cheer!




p.s. If you have a sharp eye, you'll notice my new rug in those photos. Those details later (probably sometime in the new year!).
