2006 SECRET SANTA THREAD

[jdhand]

I received my gift yesterday. I was going to wait and open it, but I just had to open it. I loved everything so much. My gift was from Diana from Crescendo Acres. She sent me soap with a Horse on it and beautiful note cards with horses on them and treats for my horses. This is so fun. Thanks so much Diana for your thoughtfulness. Dinda Hand

[SIZE=12pt]I received the most wonderful gift from SunQuest -- aka Nila -[/SIZE]

No way was I waiting to open my present!!!!

Nila sent a beautiful Christmas box (a keepsake) and 4 Corgi and Mini Christmas Ornaments! One had a picture of our corgi Pippi on it -- another had our driving gelding Platinum on it and two more had pictures of Corgi's -- Beautiful keepsakes to treasure.

Thank you Nila - I love them very very much and will treasure them for the years to come!

JJay

PS I will take pictures tonight and add them to the post tomorrow.

My package went overseas the middle of November -- and probably won't make it there on time. So sorry -- had no idea it would take 6 - 8 weeks

:

Sooo --- warning to others for next year -- plan far far ahead -- I am sorry I did not.

 

[SunQuest]

So Glad that they got there safely JJay! I was worried so I packed them in a good sturdy box (keepsake) that I could put into another box as I just don't trust the shippers to handle safely even when stamped all over that it is fragile. And so glad you liked the personalized ornaments! It was fun to try to find just the right pictures for them. I am sure glad that you had a website!

:aktion033: I got my gifts in from my secret santa who was Codi Kelly (quarters)! I love everything that I got. You really knew what I liked.

I got a beautiful picture of a pug (my favorite dog) wearing pearls and a rose and at the bottom of the picture it said "Good Breeding Just Shows"! LOL :bgrin I also got a pretty glass ornament and a calender with horse paintings in it from Lesley Harrison (she is an awsome artist, the horses look lifelike!).

Thanks again,

Chazzy

I'm glad that you liked them. I saw the pug print and just ahd to get it for you. Enjoy the calander and ornaments!

I got my presents the other day and ripped them right open, lol. I got Chicken Soup for the Horse Lovers Soul 2, 2 ornaments, and a bookmarker (which i've been to lazy to buy myself, lol). She also put a little magnet like thingy of her home state in with the card! Minis3, thank you for everything that you sent. I've already read about 1/2 of the book, lol. And the ornaments are hanging on the hutch in the dinning room. And I've got to know, where did you get the wrapping paper and tissue from? I had a hard time trying to keep it from tearing up so I could use it in a scrapbook, lol.
