First off, this was my first time participating in the Secret Santa bit. I came in expecting nothing, just excited to give. I had no idea how generous some of the people were on this. I know now I am going to set aside money for this next year so I can give someone a very special gift.

Now, I want to tell you SS that what you have given me was the biggest surprise. No lie I seriously walked into the house seen the box sitting on the counter and stood in shock.I saw the words of what was in the box and just...stood. In the background I could here my husband calling my name(My husband already knew what it was and told me to call him when I walked into the house), but I just stood there. Finally, I walk up to the box and there it was. A kitchenAid standing mixer. Something I have wanted for...I can't even remember how long. So now that the shock as faded...I start tearing up. I can't even explain to you how grateful I am! I even teared up when I used it for the first time! Much feels! Thank you so much!

I also knew there was a second box coming(which I could not believe, I have received so much already!). But I am also grateful for those items well. I love me some yarn! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Also sorry about the horrible pics, the day I got my first gift I took a few pics and then went shopping with my brother. Went to the mall and a few other places. Got back home ,went to take more pics so the Reddit community could see the precious. Realized my iPod which doubles for my camera was gone. Couple hours and many phone calls later we went BACK to the mall to search, and lo and behold it was lying on the ground where we parked earlier. A car ran it over. Its all okay except for the camera. Sigh, so, sorry, long story short Camera doesn't work...used husbands tablet...but still very grateful that only the camera was messed up. :)
