I know I will love it all Karina!! My hubby says I should just open it and quit torturing the kids. Hmmm, do you think he meant HIM?

I'll let you know as soon as I open it! Thank you again.
 
Oh my goodness....I opened my SS gift! Thanks so much to Sundancer = Julie Flanigan from Maine!

She sent me the coolest ornaments that I WILL use on my tree starting this year. Also got a Gift Cert. to Ozark (AWESOME~I know exactly how to use it already), some candy and a nice card.

Thanks again Julie! And REO of course for putting this all together.

You are soo welcome! I had fun shopping for you and I am sooo happy you liked what I sent. Happy Holidays to you and your family! Julie - VictoryPass Stable Maine
 
wow, I got mine yesterday but it's taken me this long to get my feet back on the ground! LOL I opened the brown paper figuring I'd just sit the gift out but that keepsake box kept calling to me! LOl

I am overwhelmed at what my LB SS did - way over the top and totally overboard and I so appreciate each and everything. My SS made a game out of it too - layers of individual gifts wrapped up - under each layer of confetti and gifts was another Hallmark card with hints, teasing me to guess who it was LOL

I can't say enough how much their extra effort in selecting things meant to me! Everything is personalized/customized with the FRONT PAGE OF OUR WEBSITE!!!! whoohooooo A mouse pad, coffee cup, awesome set of coasters in a little cherry stand, and a plaque ... ALL WITH OUR FRONT/HOME PAGE OF OUR WEBSITE ON IT!

already overwhelmed, there was also tons of Russell Stover, 6 beautiful chrystal ornaments, two reindeer headbands (knowing Mary these are for my grandgirls) and EVEN A TOY FOR MARLEY! The outer box with everything is a gift in itself wrapped in pretty glittery ribbon.

My SS is Mary from Maxis Minis and she's a really special person. She not only spent alot of money but tons of thought and preparation in it - everyone here was screaming with delight! LOL

Thank you Mary - I'm truly touched with everything - just perfect - all of it - thank you! (I actually called Mary last night to thank her in person!)

I had a hard time fitting it all in a photo so here are a couple (there's still more candy in the box as I just put a bit here to show you):

I really gotta figure out whats up with the date on my camera ............ lol

Thanks Reo for putting this altogether. I know you work hard at names and pairings and you certainly made my whole year with the SS assigned to me! LOL

My gift will be mailed off this weekend - have couple last minute things to add to the package ...

Well Girlfriend you know you deserve every bit of it. I know your spoiled to death by that Hubby of yours but I figured since you are a Christmas baby 12/26 that I needed to be sure that you got a surprise for Christmas and your special day. Your always there for everyone one including me and I needed to show you how much you mean to me. Your the very cream of the crop Marlene and wouldn't want to go a day without you in it. I must say it was hard keeping the secret until you opened the package since you have to put a return address on the outside of the box, I did my best! Packing your presents was almost as much fun as listening to your phone message when you were unpacking it!

I wasn't going to do SS this year but after you talked me into it and I emailed REO to see if I could still participate, I told her you encouraged me to be someones Santa. REO surprised me by asking if I wanted you for my recipient. Well dang how could I pass that up!! Then I told you that I couldn't stand the person I got but they would be fun to buy for, Hahahaha hoho.

My next step was to get a good picture from you without tipping you off. So the story that I needed you to send me an ecopy of that great new picture collage that Kelly Roe made for you so I could use it for a screen saver worked like a dream, lol.

I am so glad you liked your gifts and I do say they sure turned out nice. Merry Christmas dear friend

I got my gifts today and like a naughty little girl, I opened them today. Kayla Blackburn of Topnotchminis, you are awesome!! I got a horse clock that you can either put on the wall, or it comes with a stand to put on a book case. Now I will be able to tell what time it is in the family room. I also got some leather work gloves and an ornament that is of a Tibetan Terrier. Boy did you go through the effort to get to know me a little. One has to understand that Tibetans are rare and it is not always easy to find things that depict a Tibetan.

Thanks you so much Kayla!!!

I am so glad you liked it. I believe if I recall the Tibetan Terrier ornament can also be used as a book mark. It was so much fun picking out gifts and I am so glad you liked them. Have a Merry Christmas.

Just letting you know I will have mine in the mail by Monday. It's been a rough couple of weeks for me here, but it will be on the way soon.

Thank you so very much Sheri, my hand made ornaments are absoluetly beautiful. I can't wait to get my Christmas tree up to get them hung on. Every one of them is unique and I love the one of my farm name and one even looks like a sorrel pinto! The horse heads are the neatest, I am afraid if the round ones are coasters they will never see a glass, they will have to go in my china cabinet.

Thank you so very much I just love them. I'll hang them up on a tree tomorrow outside and get some pictures of them to post for everyone to see, just lovely.
