Got mine today!!!

Thank you Leia ( Hobbyhorse23 ). I got some horse treats I am sure the horses will love. There is some Berry Delights, horse lead, a gift pack from Washington state with space noodles, smoked salmon and a collector pin. Then there is a hunter in a bottle survival pack which I could have used last year. Not going to go into details about that one though.

Thanks again!!!!

Yay!! I thought it would be there by Saturday so I was watching anxiously for your post. After hearing all the great stuff Julie got I'll admit I was pretty nervous about trying to get it perfect.

The pin is for your son if he wants it and I did forget to throw in some dog treats like I meant to; please apologize to the puppies for me.

I had such fun shopping for your family and trying to guess from your website what you might like.

I wanted to send some local stuff like the Applets and Cotlets candy, some Pacific NW fishing/coastal things like the salmon, and then some stuff for the horses and for you. I need to go back and buy some of that salmon for myself, it sounded TOO good.

Now if only my other secret santa's gift would get there....

I mailed it Nov. 26.

WOW! WOW! WOW!

Thank you Alicia of ontherisefarm

I went to the mailbox today and had a note that I had a package. I waited till after 4:00 and ran downtown to pick it up. Since I am single now, I do not get much in the way of Christmas presents. My daughters are on a tight budget and I really would prefer that they do not buy for me, so getting a present is really NICE!!

And oh what a presant!!

Alicia wrote that she had seen that I had written, that I was hoping for a bay pinto colt by my new General Patton daughter who is bred to Multi World Champion and Multi World Champion producer: Peacan Grove Chargers Customized. She sent me this BEAUTIFUL bay Pinto to tide me over till the foal arrives. It is a Breyer limited edition ( only 1,500 pieces made) of a 1/2 Arabian Pinto by artist Kathleen Moody.

I can only say that I hope my boy looks like this one!!!!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU !THANK YOU!

You could not have done any better!!

Today the postman brought a box addressed from Robin(REO) & her husband in OK.

I've got the gifts under the tree to open Christmas morning......so stay tuned as I am so excited to see what's inside the pretty wrapped packages. I'll report back in on Christmas to tell ya what I got from my secret santa. THANK YOU Robin!

I feel so honored that you chose me to be santa to.......

The horse candy cane topper on the package is so cute.....a mini me version of my boy Rico! Right down to the buckskin color with black mane. That little guy just made my day....

 

[REO]

Russ, I'm so glad the box got you ok!

I hope you like the special thing in one of the gifts.

I made the candy cane horse cover by hand without a pattern and it came out pretty nice! A lil buddy for your Rico!

I just HAD to be your Santa

 

[Russ]

Robin that little horse guy is fantastic...you are very creative! I love him! I thank you a million times over for being my secret santa.....

BTW.....I keep checking my delivery confirmation on my secret santa's gift....it was mailed on December 9th and the post office assured me it would be there quickly. So maybe tomorrow my person will get it.

Russ, I'm so glad the box got you ok!

You hit the bullseye with your gifts.....I could not have picked them out better if I did it myself.

I picked my present up from the post office today. I got a notice Saturday that they had tried to deliver it, but we weren't home. Billy picked it up for me today. We just got in from Christmas shopping. But I had to tear into it as we were driving down the road. I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE my presents. Thank you so much.I got a pciture frame, candy, soap, hoof pick, ink pens, little horse markers to mark your drinking glass and a stuffed replica of my black and white driving horse, Tanchico. Thank you again. It was so neat that you were my SS. We met Yvonne at the Area 2 Show this summer in Ashland, OH. They were stalled across from us and were really super nice people. I'll try to get pictures posted tomorrow of my gifts.

I am posting for Scoopie Doo aka my daughter Jodi who wants to Thank our lady Bonnie Fogg for the wonderful present that came today. She would thank you herself but had surgery this morning on her wrist and hand and it will be sometime before she is able to type. Dear Dear Bonnie you so outdid yourself. Jodi was in tears. For all that want to know, Jodi loves Jammies and sweats and Bonnie sent her the most wonderful Christmas shirt with black sweats to match and also a pink sweatshirt. She also included a beautiful wind up carosel another of Jodis favorites an insulated water bottle for those long show afternoons, an angel doggie Jodi collects angels and last but by no means least a coupon for a reading with our dear Bonnie a gift that I personally dont think can be equaled. Now to decide who to have read.

Bonnie Jodi thanks you from the bottom of her heart and so do I. It is going to be a bit lean around here this year and you certainly made an otherwise dreary day wonderful. And Robin thank you again for always doing exactly the right thing for everyone. Oh I forgot there also were Christmas candies and Tootsie pops another of Jodis favorites. I know that as soon as she can she will thank you both herself but for now my Thanks will have to do.

Now if only my person would hurry up and get my gift that was mailed on the 4th.
