I know all y'all think you had the best SS, but you're wrong. I did!!!

This was my first year doing SS and I'm so impressed with the whole process, the insane work that the mods do to make this happen, and the effort of (most) everyone who participates. Its such a fun thing. My husband said he wishes he would have signed up and will next year.

My SS did such an amazing job, touching on many things about me. I received such awesome gifts.

The first thing I received came via Amazon - Bakerella's Holiday Cake Pops book! I've been making them for a couple years now and always look for ideas I can adapt and try myself. I'm really excited about this book!

In a box from my SS I received a couple really awesome things. First, they had a tshirt custom designed for me with "I Love You" in American Sign Language with a heart next to it. The proceeds from the t-shirt were donated to the American Society for Deaf Children. This is absolutely incredible! That non-profit works to support the natural linguistic rights of deaf children, which is something very dear to me. So very awesome!!

Also in the box was a stuffed animal! At first, my reaction to it was mixed. It looked well-loved but was unique and quirky. Upon further investigation, I discovered how misguided I was. It used to be a child's stuffed animal. But was donated to Glad Dogs Nation - a non-profit that accepts used stuffed animals and converts them to dog-friendly toys (removing hard parts, adding squeezers, etc)!! Glad Dogs Nation donates their profits to help control pet population.

I'm absolutely amazed at my Santa. Thank you SO much Jewert! You're awesome!!!
