Secret Santa Gift thread

OMG!!! I cant TELL you how badly the suspense has been KILLING ME!!! LOL!

I was so worried that it wouldnt make it on time for Christmas. You said you wanted stuff to hang in your new office in the barn. Surely you can find a spot for it in there!

I've never even thought of signing the back of my signs before. I have done 3 signs for myself and then a couple for some of my friends. Guess when I do some more I will have to remember to do that.

I am so happy that you like it. I started to doubt that I would be able to do justice to your logo. I even looked for a company that could do a vinyl of it. But I was very happy with the way it turned out in the end.

I was thrilled when Robin told me that I had gotten you for my SS. I have always felt that we "think alike" for some reason. Maybe its because we seem to have the same breeding goals and hobbies.

Thank you so much. I am being so good and waiting to open until Christmas but the box arrived safely all the way from California. The gifts are under the tree (the kids told me that if I opened mine then they could open theirs

). I have looked at the magazines though - how thoughtful of you to send those too.

Have a very Merry Christmas!!

Julie - I bet it was killing you waiting to know it arrived! OMG I just can't get over it. And please know, that your hand painted version is much more dear than had it been vinyl - and yes, your version is amazing - truly did it justice! I can't thank you enough!

I also agree we "click" in many ways - thanks for such nice compliments. Merry Christmas to you and yours this holiday season.

I'm so happy it got there in time for Christmas! I'm glad you're enjoying our local magazines--I figured it might give you the "flavor" of horses out here in California. I hope you like the gifts!

cretahillsgal, what a beautiful sign!

You are very talented!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Glad there are only 9 left, however, if they sent Parcel post, then they may be late... I was speaking with a neighbor last weekend, who had been to the local Post Office where is was told only letters and Priority are travelling right now, parcel post is being held til all Priority is caught up, so any parcel post packages mailed late are likely to arrive late.

 

[shadowpaints]

im hoping mine makes it!! im thinking it will be there tomorrow!!! my other 2 secret santas got theirs from other forums today!! so hopefully my SS will post tomorrow and say they got it!

 

[Elizabeth Pannill]

But I have the best present already . My mini, Magic just came home from driving training and is doing wonderful .

[PaintedMeadows]

I am sad that my Secret Santa partner hasn't gotten theirs yet. Another package I sent at the same time and almost the same arrived on tuesday. I was so hoping it would arrive before Christmas. Well, it will be an extended Christmas. I haven't received mine either and now I am at my Mom's so I won't know until I get home on the 29th but it is safe at the Post Office being held for me. I will let you know as soon as it arrives!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

 

[REO]

PaintedMeadows, yours was not sent to your PO it was sent FedEx.

We are having a straight line wind blizzard at 45 mph and snow/ice is flying. Hubby barely made it home when he gave up trying to drive it to work. I hope LN is held up some place warm!

I'm glad it reached you Appymini!

8 more!

THANK YOU Santa, Linda L

I got a cool LED head light that will come in very handy for foaling season

An awesome engraved plate with my stallions registered name and HOF status. I am going to put that on his picture frame that I am having made this winter. It is so cool to have this engraved name!
