Yippee!! Merry Christmas to MEEEE!!!! Thank you SO MUCH, Sassy!!!! You went way above and beyond!!!! I've had a very long day, so I will post a picture tomorrow! She sent me the CUTEST little purple halter and lead! I am saving it for my first foal due in June!!!! She also sent two Cookie Cutters! One is a whole horse and one is a horse head! I can't wait to make cookies with them! I'm making plans already to have different color frostings and make pretty halters, bridles and saddles on them and spots, socks and what ever else I can think of! They'll probably be stale by the time I finish decorating them but it will be fun!!!!! Also a beautiful horse key chain that I actually can use as it has an awesome clip to clip the keys too, I can't for the life of me put keys on those dang round ring things! And lastly a bag of PEPPERMINT HORSE SNACKS!!! My horses will LOVE them!!

Thank you a million times over again Sassy! I'm not sure of your real name that you signed your card with, so I am just using your forum name. You are VERY thoughtful and such a giving person!! You have made my Christmas VERY happy!!!!

I hope you have the greatest Christmas and New Years EVER!!!

Thanks again!

The boston terrier socks are the cutest...I will wear them tomorrow!!!! All my horseys say "thanks so much for the treats Santa!" The fancy black/purple halter will look gorgeous on Joey!!! I will take a picture of him with it on next spring after he looks like a horse again-- instead of a buffalo! LOL

The brush I will add to my never ending grooming supplies...can't go wrong there! I especially enjoyed the "Cracker"

What a great idea...of course my dogs didn't appreciate the "crack!"

The little horse locket inside is precious...thank you again!

p.s. the cotton balls are great...I don't think I have ever seen the real deal!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR

I am so HAPPY the box got there....man, the postal service took a long time to ship that box! (2 weeks)

The other night I was so worried about your box because delivery confirmation kept saying it was in the system but not delivered....I asked for a Christmas miracle.....I guess we got it!

Hope you like everything....I really enjoyed shopping for you. Merry Christmas Ericka!

I got my SS gift yesterday! Thank you Angela (TrailersOutWest) for the very generous gift card to Bath & Body Works. What a nice surprise!! I almost went there the other day to get some things, but figured I'd wait until after Christmas. Woo hoo! The photo card of all your horses is beautiful! (Can I get me one of those beauties pictured? Maybe next year.

)

Thank you so much to Robin for all your hard work and dedication to the Secret Santa program You have gone above and beyond to make sure no one is forgotten. We all appreciate it more than you know.

Merry Christmas everyone and have a happy and healthy 2009!

Well I made it till Christmas without opening my gifts....but I gotta say if I'd known how nice they were I wouldn't have been able to wait. Jessica thought of everyone. A Chicken Soup book (I love to read) and some chocolates for me, a beautiful red and green throw that's oh so soft, that I can snuggle down under to read and munch on candy, peppermint treats for the horses....they absolutely love peppermint....and she even thought of the dogs with treats for them. Thank you sooooo very much Jessica. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.

And I just gotta add this one of Sunshine checking out the goodies.

[REO]

I'm fighting with my camera so I can post my goodies! I will asap!

We had 131 names. And we came to Christmas Day with 6 gifts still waiting on to be gotten. But I hear those on on their way and should be there soon. I'm sorry for those that didn't get their gifts on time.

NO ONE WILL GO WITHOUT A GIFT!

I promise! I won't give up until you all do! So PLEASE let me know when you get yours, no matter how long it takes!

Just look at all the great gifts from all our awesome Santas!

You were all great Santas and I want to thank you for another wonderful year! Don't forget to sign up again next year!

My heart to yours,

Robin

 

[Marsha Cassada]

You did a great job, Robin!! It was lots of fun! I'd love to do it again next year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!

Finally able to get dialed to the internet (my internet server had problems). I tried all day to get on on the net. Glad to be here now.

THANK YOU THANK YOU to Robin (REO) for making a wonderful Christmas for me!

Robin just made my day with all the gifts!!!!! First, she hand made me a beautiful navy blue foal blanket for Rose's first baby that I hope comes safely in the spring. I am so looking forward to spring and my first ever foal.

Robin hand stitched my farm name on the foal blanket with white letters, "Farm Boy Minis".

I LOVE it

and you can be sure when that baby comes you will see pics of him/her wearing it.

Your gift is the very first thing I have with my farm name on it....it will be treasured forever.

Robin also got me a Dr. Pepper hat (I collect hats and wear them) so it's very appreciated.

She also got me one of those cool Poly Dri shirts that keep you warm/dry and wick away moisture.....they are WONDERFUL and I am going to wear it this week as it's cold when I do chores(already tried it on and it's great)....like below zero cold/windchills cold here in Iowa. So, I dress in layers and this shirt will keep me warm without sweating. THANKS!

The gifts were all wrapped so pretty and the kindest Christmas card and wishes inside.AND my candy candy buckskin horse topper Robin hand made for me in the exact replica of my boy Rico.

THANK YOU again Robin....your the BEST! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!

I wish you and Karrel a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Also to Kira98(Ericka) I am so glad you like your gifts. I went with a cooking theme since in your hints you talked about baking. Hardest challenge was finding tuscan style utensil holder....so I took a chance and just bought the stainless steel color....glad it was your favorite color. Merry Christmas to you also and a Happy New Year! I have FUN being your santa!
