POST HERE IF YOU GOT YOUR SS GIFT

[PrestigeMiniHorses]

I am so tickled that he loved everything....

I was hoping he would Merry Christmas to you guys.

Hi,

This is Angie. I am posting for Dave (fancyshadow)

He got his package today. At first, he was rather nonchalant and told me to open it and then he got into it. There were three items wrapped seperately and his grin got bigger with each one he opened. He loves it all. Especially the pants.....or maybe the scented wax..............but the candies (and he did share) were wonderful (yes, were--they are gone) and he likes that the horse treats are in small pieces.

Thank you so much Kourtney Rayner (Prestige Mini Horses). You did a wonderful job of making him feel special. This is his first year in the exchange but I don't think it will be his last.

IT'S HERE!!!!!

IT'S HERE!!!!!​

Someone in Australia, PLEASE give our Cassie a GREAT BIG HUG for me!!

This package arrived in the most beautiful box and inside -- well, let's just say I'm still crying "happy tears" !!

First there was the wonderful Koala Bear bone china mug, and an awesome travel mug -- the likes of which I have never seen before! It's a porcelain bottom with a flexible rubber topper! I've never seen one like it before, but since I drink 30+ cups of coffee a day, it will get LOTS of use! Next came 3 of the cutest "Little Bear" figurines, and then a wonderful picture frame that said "My horse and me!"

And then......hidden in the bottom of the box was something of incredible value! I'm still crying my "happy tears" and I know they will appear each and EVERY time I see this wonderful tribute!

A picture frame with a HAND DRAWN picture of my incredible, priceless stallion -- Sweetwaters Texas Spotty!!!! Cassie, it took my breath away -- to think you gave of your time and talent to send me something so special. I can not express the incredible feelings that welled up inside me when I opened it. GOD BLESS YOU and thank you so very much! It now has a place of honor on my baby grand piano in my living room, right in the center of my treasured family photos and horse awards.

I can never thank you enough! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS -- AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF US!!!!!

PS - since you didn't sign the picture, I cut your signature off the shipping label and added it to the bottom!

Diane I am SO GLAD it arrived on time

was getting a little worried! we know now it takes 17/18 Days at Christmas for a gift to go from Australia to America LOL

I had SO much fun shopping for you! was worried that the mug might break glad it didn't... the travel mugs are everywhere here, so easy and keep the drink nice and warm

the teddies were just TOO cute to pass by! I didn't know if you liked teddies but I thought I would take a gamble n send them anyway! had to buy them for somebody hehe.

the horse and me photo frame again was something I couldn't pass by

The koala mug... well, I had to add something Aussie in there

and it was just so cute!! hehe I'm sure you will have lovely coffee's with that mug

The Drawing,... well you mean so so much to me so it it is just a small token of my thanks for everything!! I was so glad when I found out you were my secret Santa, as I have been wanting to express my thanks for all your help with Suzie n Finn and now I have been able to!!

I'm really glad you like the drawing! and everything else!

THANK YOU Adelle/wildfire1! It took me all of 2 minutes to open it, everything was wrapped so nice, I almost hated to do it.

I got a too cool garden flag, a very cute goose welcome sign, and some wonderful slippers that are keeping my feet happy right now! She also sent a big granola bar treat the horsies will love and a nice note. I love it all!

I love them. Thank-you so much Becca!!

LOOKIE! LOOKIE! My Secret Santa package arrived today from Canada. Anoki made a beautiful leather wreath with sleigh bells!! It is two layers of leather, green and brown, and such nice workmanship!

She also sent some special candy from Ontario. Always love to receive things that are special to a place. Love the pretty card, and the lovely wrapping paper is also a keeper!

Thank you, Kathryn "anoki" for my Miniature Forum heirloom!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Oh my....I dont even know what to say!! Renee, my friend!! what a great surprise!! Just FYI...my christmas spirit has been pretty lousy this year. After the passing of Ribbie and Quahog and soon after I lost a very dear friend...lets just say I have not been well and pretty depressed but your gift from the heart could not have arrived at a better time!!! Thank You Thank You!!! It was especially nice because of all the support and guidance you showed me with Cameron too. The personal stall sign for Cam is just beautiful...I wish I could take a picture and show it off. Your hubby did an awesome job...please tell him its PERFECT!! I think Im going to make it black and you should be able to see it proudly hanging on Cams door...hes stilllllll on camera. The candies are to die for...yummmy. oh my gosh if that store was in my town I'd be the size of a house.....hey..i am the size of a house..oh well!! And yes, i will share with Skiff.

Thanks again Renee!! I love my gifts and i hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!

Miss Robin.....Im glad your gift will come in handy......Miss Renee has just boosted my holiday spirits so dont be surprised if a little something gets on your door step after the holidays!!!

:yeah Sooooooooooooooo glad it got there in time!!!!!!!!!!

:yeah

Those are chocolates from imo the best chocolatier ever!! They are located about 25 mins from me....hard to resist stopping in there when I'm in Stratford!

(the orange is an 'orange smoothie', gold is their famous 'mint smoothie' and the red is a 'raspberry smoothie'...they are to die for!!!!!)

Glad you like the wreath!

I make several of these every year....seems to be a hot item for horse people!

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!

I am so glad that it arrived safely and that you like it, if it put a smile on your face then that is just perfect. It was hard to decide what to get you as you weren't very helpful with the tips

I will thank hubby as you requested at lunchtime

I am sure he will be very happy

Hugs to you my friend a Merry Christmas

Thanks Reo for choosing our SS and elves so well.

Only 3 more days to go and then I go away for the holidays so I am crossing my fingers that my post lady delivers something soon. I am such a big kid and the waiting is killing me
