I did receive a very thoughtful gift from my Book Blogger Holiday Swap ‘Secret Santa’. Chronicle Books gave away $1500 worth of books, $500 each for the blogger, a commenter and a charity. Check out who won here. Even though I didn’t win the contest my Secret Santa saw my Happy Haulidays post (here) and look what I received…
The mysterious Fourth Musketeer chose two books from my list. Isn’t that thoughtful? I love all three books, especially Dog is a Dog. The illustrations are gorgeous. I am also looking forward to using the Line a Day for Moms book in 2012. Except for Sundays with Gage I have been terrible about recording milestones or interesting things for Gage. And I’ve already taken a peek at the photography book and know that it will improve my picture taking.
After some sleuthing (okay, okay, I Googled) I discovered that the Fourth Musketeer is Margo and she’s a library science student. Who better to choose books for Gage and me? Thanks, Margo!

You had a great Secret Santa! Is the dog with the bow in front a card? It’s adorable!!
Yes, I forgot to mention the cute doggie card!
Those gifts look like so much fun!
Your secret santa gave you and Gage great books! Love the card 🙂
What a thoughtful Secret Santa you had!!
Cute books!!!
Your Secret Santa was clever to look at your Haulidays post for ideas – that ‘line a day for Mom’ should be a great way to record daily treasures (not just the big milestones), and will make you smile when you look back through it.
congratualtions, how fun.
