WHOO HOO got my 100% this year! Secret Santa

[a mini dream come true]

I got my SS gift in the mail yesterday (sorry didn't get a chance to post last night...) from "aminidreamcometrue"

Thank you sooo much for the assortment of things!!!

A puzzle (I LOVE puzzles), a couple of really cute candles, treats for the dogs, a 'Howdy' sign, a picture frame, and a couple of dog themed pillow cases that I will have to make sure my niece does not steal from me!!

Kathryn, I am soo very glad you like your SS. I had fun making the pillow cases and picking out your gifts. Merry Christmas.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I just now received my secret santa gift and am BEYOND exstatic!!!!!! SAMPLEMM, you are the best Secret Santa! I am floored.

Two packages beautifully wrapped with bows and decorative holiday tape are what I saw when I opened the box. Not to mention the BEAUTIFUL miniature horse picture on the enclosed Christmas card. How cool is it that you specialize in buckskin show horses and I have a buckskin!!! (Bet we have REO to thank for that ;-) ) My husband told me to wait until Christmas, but that was impossible.

I opened the red gift first. To my great surprise, it was a GORGEOUS high quality all leather halter with a brass nameplate engraved with "Lil Timber Buck" on it! I have DREAMED of a halter like this for him since I got him and you were kind and thoughtful enough to get it for me! He will look so handsome in it!

The blue gift was second. It fooled me at first because it was in a fly mask box, but when I moved it I could hear the packing peanuts in it. Sure enough it wasn't a mask at all but an adorable Christmas ornament with a little miniature ceramic horse attached to it that looks just like my Lil Timber Buck! What a treasure. I cannot thank you enough for these amazing gifts. These have made my Christmas. I can't wait to show Timber tomorrow in the daylight. He will be proud.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. And I can only hope that my buckskin stallion turns out to be as gorgeous as yours. Man you have amazing horses and I love the website. Thanks again!! And thanks Lilbeginnings for having this great event!

Amy, I am so tickled that you like your gifts. This was my first year doing Secret Santa and it was so much fun!! Your gifts had to go out late because when the first name plate came in it was too small and my friend that works for the tack store sent it back and reordered it. She knew that I wanted it to be special. Merry Christmas!

My silver dapple w/ a flaxen mane and tail!! My first mini! PERFECT!!!!!! It has these little delicate holly leaves and berries all around the edge, it's so pretty!!

This week we got hit hard with some tough stuff and getting this gift just brought me right up out of my yuckyness!

P.S. I was just wondering if you knew if my SS opened her gift yet or is she being a good girl

and waiting until Christmas? Just kinda curious.....

Sooooooo.......this morning I hear this "skreeeeeeeiiiitchy, skraaaaaatchy, rustle, rustle" while I'm eating my breakfast......then I realize I have no Jack Russell terrier eyes staring at my back. I go into the living room and....

Look what Lucky did:

The lovely arrangement of boxes beneath the tree was no more. She decided that she would open what turned out to be HER present. She also opened another--as you can see from the scattered wrapping. I'm posting in multiple posts, since the pics are on my phone....but BOY, OH BOY...was my Santa (Barbara/Royal Cresent) generous!! She sent treats for Lucky--which I made her share with Missifoos. Casper received a new green (my favorite color!!) halter, with a green/brown lead rope. Another package included a WONDERFUL selection of flavored teas that I can't wait to get home to try on this cold, overcast day. The last package contained not one.....but TWO books on Miniature horses!! How COOl is that???!!! One is a basic overview of Miniatures, and the other is a Veterinary manual that I know I can't live without! Thank you SO MUCH SANTA!!! I will be adding a couple more pics in another post....Julie

Leya, I'm SO happy you liked everything! I tried hard to fill it with all your hints but with my twist

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!

I think she's being good & waiting to open it!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Yup, I was Santa to TWO people! I love that both love their gifts, although Debby hasn't opened hers yet

I have gifts from both my Santas! Doing SS is all the Christmas we get so we always wait to open them! One Santa included a bunch of gifts for Karrel! Whooo hooo!!! It's driving me nuts (oh like *I* need any help LOL) to wait but wait I do!
