instagram + stocking stuffers + giveaway.

Instagram and I have a little bit of a love affair going on.*Read: I’m mildly (OK, really) obsessed. The only problem is that I never actually get any of my photos printed and the one time I did they came out all wonky because photo centers don’t print in square sizes which is how Instagram […]
