#OTSPSecretSister| November Travel Box

In case you aren’t aware of what #otspsecretsister is:
The Secret Sister project is essentially a cheer club. Think Secret Santa but all year round (in 6 month intervals) with less emphasis on big presents, and more thoughtful notes, cards, small somethings sent just to let your secret sister know that you are thinking about her!


This is my fourth round participating in the #otspsecretsister project. The first time I did the pen pal tier and really enjoyed it! There is nothing better than receiving mail! This round I am participating in the top tier. My Secret Sister has been killing it! I am so loving everything and all the thought and effort she is putting into it! This travel theme was so perfect!
Nowhere Near You by Leah Thomas – I have no idea why I have waited so long to get this book. I read the first one when it was first published. The fact that this was also signed is so special. I grew up and went to school with the author. (not just someone I knew in passing) But are families were/are friends, we were in band together, had classes together, went to the same college. I can only assume this book shows her personality as much as the first one and cant wait to pick it up! (If you haven’t read the first book you need to! It is so unique and quirky!)
♣ Reese’s Snack Mix
♣ Postcard Coasters- These fit the theme of my living room perfectly and I adore them so much!
♣ 1000 Places to See Before You Die Journal- I cannot wait to start using this. I want to start doing more traveling and will just have to get over the fact that I will need to start going by myself since I don’t have a travel buddy.
♣ Paint by Stickers- I have never seen anything like this before, but I have already started it and it is quite relaxing, although I am not very good at it yet. Definitely a fun addition!
♣ Large Travel Book Sleeve- This one is huge and soft! When I unwrapped it I just sat there hugging it!
♣ Belle Bookmark & Art Print- They both say “I want adventure in the great wide somewhere” The art print already found a home in a frame and on my explore/travel wall which is so perfect!

Is anyone else participating in this round of #otspsecretsister !
