I got mine today in the mail!

Thank you Ms THE (Tarah) for your thoughtfulness and time. I will get pics of the earrings (I love 'em! STARS!!!), horsie treats (they say thank you thank you thank you yum yum Cherry Bomb has the late pregnancy munchies!) and lotion.

(Oh and Al (tow driver) is still in a considerable amount of pain from the accident in Oct., and the worst part is that his (and their) insurance co. is treating him miserably even though none of this was his fault! Thanks for asking. )

Reo,

I know you probably already told us, but how many people joined the fun this year? You sure did a lot of work with this and I am sure we all appreciate it.

Just to let my person know yours is on the way by FedEx, it was sent last week and should be there by Christmas.

I also recived mine but sorry to say it was in several peices. and had some sweet sticky smelling oil all over it. It looked like it would have been lovely to add to my collection. I'm not sure what to do with it now.

Merry Christmas to all,

Evelyn

This is for Kathye "YELLERROSEINTX". :aktion033: I had saved the bag that my gifts came in from last year "2005". I had got it out to use it to put the gifts for my parents this year because of the western theme on it. I just found a white paper in plastic on the bottom of the bag. When I picked it up & turned it over I found these "COOL" black & white magnetic horses. I have already put them on my fridge. That was a great surprise. Thought I would share even though its a little late. :saludando:

WooHoo!! Christmas is finally here and I got to open my gifts from Leslie (aka wantminimore).

I got ........

A red, white & blue halter and leadline (absolutely perfect)

My very first Trail of Painted Ponies ornament (and it's Trigger...I'm an old (literally) Roy Rogers fan!)

A really cute Home Sweet Home windchime (love it)

A very soft red and black scarf and socks and a head band/ear warmer. They're gonna feel soooo good on these cold morning trips to the barn.

And a green and ivory tote (perfect size)

Leslie, I can't thank you enough for the gifts. It was so nice to get up this morning and have something waiting for me under the tree.

Hope everyone was as happy with their gifts as I was and I hope you all have a PERFECT day!!!

I finally got to open my secret santa gifts. I just had to wait for Christmas. I got the cutest tiny horse stocking, a bottle of Pure maple syrup, in a maple leaf container, a great hand made holiday card, and a beautiful mare foal trinket box.

:488: I was a very good girl and waited until today to open the rest of my present from Rachel.

In the pretty box was a very nice mare & foal statue which holds 4 coasters with a running horse on them.

: It is very nice. Thank you sooooo much. You are a very nice Secret Santa.

[Marsha Cassada]

I waited till Christmas night to open my gifts. The two days were so full of comings and goings, my husband and I had to wait till we had a few quiet hours to enjoy our gifts.

FRED is my secret Santa, and she sent the most wonderful things! What fun to unwrap each thing! The main gift was a wonderful wreath made of little horseshoes! I think she made it herself, which makes it super special!

I think she made the great hoof pick also, wrought from a horsehoe! I will be checking it out on my two guys in the next day or two!

There was a pretty horsey mug with candy and hot chocolate, a darling ornament container with Swiss chocolate candy inside, and a sparkly glass ornament for the tree.

Thank you, Fred! It was such fun. I wish you a very happy New Year!

[FFFoxyGal]

Thank you so very much 1 is not enough,......the gifts that I recieved from you are wonderful!!!!!

I waited till Xmas morning,...as hard as that was,..lol!!!

Here is a pic of what I recieved,......Thank you again :lol:

[Fred]

I am so glad you liked everything Marsha. Yes I did make the wreath and hoofpick. I used the smallest shoes I could find for the wreath and I knew you collected buttons so I used them as ornaments. Hope you have a great New Year and special thanks to Robin for all the hard work she did on the Secret Santa! Linda B
