MY STUFF IS AWESOME!

I got a really cool haybag/feeder combo unit - PERFECT for when Phoebe and I are on road trips!

I also got the COOLEST sign! It is going on my office door at work so everyone knows what sort of horses I have! My H/J co-worker is going to croak!

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH SECRET SANTA!

So, do I use my santa powers to figure out who sent these wonderful things? I honestly can't remember who got my name!

I am blonde after all...


Yup, Kevin drew names and I e-mailed them out one particularly stressful morning at work. I am drawing a blank. :confused

To make matters worse, one of the clever people got me. They put my addy as the return addy. I didn't think to do that with my package so I have probably already given myself away.

I am so excited! I got the most beautiful rawhide jaquima for my mare Maria! And it is so nice and soft - the side pieces and brow band are braided and will be soft on her skin. It really is so nice - thank you SS - I mean Appyday!!! I am so thrilled - this is the nicest rawhide jaquima I have seen. I can't wait to get home from work to try it on her...and I will get some pics of her wearing it on Saturday. (Yes, I am still at work and brought my gift with me!) Shelley thanks for your generosity!

KAB
12-22-2006, 03:05 AM
Mel, I must confess that I wondered how secret your santa could be with you in charge.Thought maybe the hay bag would be easy to use on your endurance trips.And the sign just lets everyone know where we/they stand.Hope you enjoy them...............

PasoVicki
12-22-2006, 03:06 AM
Sorry for checking in late. It's only 7pm on the west coast, and I just finished feeding kids.

Opening now . . . I got three gifts! . . . a really cute "Bless this Home" sign with a horseshoe on it . . . a pink halter (yes!!) . . . and an adorable bag with a horse design. Thank you secret santa!!!

If I'm supposed to guess the ID of my santa -- the return address was in New York . . . so Lisa or Barb or Beth ???

GeorgeGuns
12-22-2006, 03:07 AM
You can't read Hope Rising without a box of kleenex!!!

Moniece, you are so welcome, one of my best days was puttin that in the mail for ya.

Now.. the post mark on mine was Halifax, Ma.. who IS that????

Andrea G.
12-22-2006, 03:10 AM
Hi Pasomom,
I am not your secret santa - sorry...I did not answer right away as I thought maybe it was the other Andrea...I am Andrea G.
Glad you like your gift though!

I am leaving the office to go home and will check back when I get home!
This is so fun!

Pasomom

I got a bottle of Pink, a massage brush and a beautiful metal hanging sculpture from the Native America Gallery in Athens, GA. Oh, and a bag of divinity! My SS can only be Mel! Thank you for the lovely gifts and the sweet card!! And you are a fabulous gift-wrapper to boot!! Merry Christmas!

KAB
12-22-2006, 03:13 AM
I'll share a great gift idea with you guys too.This one I did for a friend that I ride with a few years back.Since we rode together somewhere every week, I always took pics.I always kept the best one of her on her horse (and didn't show it to her)At the end of the year I had 12 great pics to put together a calendar with.And each month reminded her of a fun day.

I think you will like the pink if you have not experienced it's magic! I am glad that you liked the sculpture. I almost got one for myself too. ;-)

Let me know how the massage brush works, it seems like a neat idea.

PasoVicki
12-22-2006, 03:18 AM
Okay. Hmmm. . . who else is in California? PasoVicki, where are you? You mentioned being on the west coast. . . Are you my secret santa?

Yes . . . and I was totally unimaginative with the return address . . . . Next year, I'll have to remember the trick about putting the recipient's address as the return address, too. I'm glad you like it!

This is the coolest lamp I've ever seen! My kids figured it was the leg lamp from A Christmas Story - well they were right about the lamp!
It is beautiful! Thanks SS (I think it must be Barb F, or Lori??)

Cool little 'S' brand that hangs on it:

Erin thanks for posting the picture of my beautiful new Christmas tree. It is handmade and very colorful. The kids will just love it. Also I now have a lovely new sweater. Thanks SS, I know it is you Leila, isn't it??

Oh, and George, there are 2 of us from Halifax. MA

Sorry to be posting so late, got back from Erin's, found a mound of dishes in the sink, hubby on the computer and I still had 2 pies to get in the oven. UGH

Pasomom
12-22-2006, 04:21 AM
Hi Debbie S, Yep, it was me! LOL

You wanted something unique to the state in which your secret santa resided, and there is a story behind the lamp. I will send it to you when I get it all written down. I didn't want to give out all the details before you had a chance to guess. My husband did most of the work....but I helped! LOL The book you will love. It tells about Florida back in the old days when it was being pioneered. We read this book 25 years ago, and it is now required reading in most Florida schools. It is very interesting and you will not want to put it down. It follows a pioneer family from their migration thru the state, and all the troubles and famines they went thru.

The Circle S brand is "your" brand, and the "horseshoe F" is our registered brand. We thought it would be cool to have both on the lamp. In the old days, when you worked in a set of cow pens, it was quite common to see many different brands, branded in to the post of the fence, where they would "test" the brands to make sure they were hot enough. I will fill in the rest of the story later.

Hope you enjoy your lamp and brand. You can also use your brand to brand any leather tack (under your saddle) or on any leather part of your saddle, and you can also use it to "brand" your steak, when cooking out on the grill... a fun thing to do when entertaining.

Have fun branding! LOL

Pasomom
12-22-2006, 04:35 AM
Just in case anyone is wondering where our fearless leader is....she has no internet tonight....needless to say, she is not a happy camper. She will probably be on line first thing in the AM to see what everyone got.

She has not received her package yet also, and is not sure if her's got delivered either. So she didn't have anything to report tonight anyway, and her person may still be waiting also.

Andrea G.
12-22-2006, 04:45 AM
Hi Shelley, Glad you saved that one for me - it is really special! I will try it on her tomorrow and let you know if it fits her. And I would love a bit hanger - it does not have one :D
Thanks so much!

What clues made you realize it was me?

plus I wrote my sig all over yoru card if you look closely

you will see IPFYH written in lots of places all over the horse and in the grass

nah nah nah nah :lol:

Besides how many times have you heard me say "red bull gives you wings"

And yoru fav col;or was blue you said

So I wanted it to be personal and special

Terri
12-22-2006, 04:49 AM
Oh, there were a couple of clues early one Leila! But when we openned the present we were sure! Kim saw your siggy on the card 1st thing.

Thank you Leila, it is very nice, my hubby says it is very clever hand has it plugged in in the kitchen. I am sure David will love it and probably want it in his bedroom.

12-22-2006, 04:51 AM
I believe my SS is ErinC!

She sent me just the bit I was looking for. If I weren't so pooped I would go put it on my headstall I haven't been able to use yet right now. Well, maybe I'll get a second wind and do it anyways.

She also sent me this really cool plaque that has an early American type picture with two horses and a house. I have two framed prints in the same style in my living room, so it is just perfect!

Thank you :D

Thank you :D

Thank you :D

Andrea G.
12-22-2006, 05:14 AM
Hi Shelley - I would love to post a picture of her wearing it - I will take a photo on Saturday as I still have one more day of work to get through..
I might have to email it to you though - I don't have a clue as to how to post a picture. And then you can post the pics to show everyone! :D

DebbieS
12-22-2006, 05:31 AM
Thanks for the explanation, Barb! I was thinking the horseshoe F was your farm brand. What a neat present. You obviously put a lot of thought and effort into my gift. A very special gift, indeed. Can't wait to start the book! As soon as I catch my breath after all the holiday activites, it will be nice to sit and read in the evenings (next to my new lamp!).

Thanks again, and I'll be looking for 'the rest of the story' on the lamp!

Ok, so I was in bed by 8:30 last night and missed all the fun. I opened my stuff a coupla weeks ago, so I guess it really doesn't matter, now does it? :twisted:

Anywho, I got some really nice stuff from my SS. Two ornaments, one that looked like Mojo, one that looked like Amante, a purple cell phone holder for when I ride, one box each of reindeer & snowman droppings, and a really nifty calendar of cute cats saying obnoxious things. Obviously, my SS gets me, really gets me. Thank you so much! So, who is it, Abijeta?

Shelley, you guessed right, I am your SS. Sorry about the regifting, but I figured you could use the halter on one of your puny Pasos. ;-) I knew you would like the neon rainbow lead rope, cause you are as trashy as me. ((hugs))

I don't know who my SS was, either. The only clue is that the package had a NY return address -- although that could be a trick clue. Barb was Shelley's SS . . . I don't think Lisa has spoken up yet (???) Anyone else in the NY area?

I don't know who my SS was, either. The only clue is that the package had a NY return address -- although that could be a trick clue. Barb was Shelley's SS . . . I don't think Lisa has spoken up yet (???) Anyone else in the NY area?

Ok, I confess!!!! Had too much fun looking for stuff - especially since I went to Equine Affaire back in November!!! :lol:

Glad you like everything - I hope the halter fits someone! It is a Cob size I think....I got one for myself too - a good luck charm hoping for a FILLY!!!!

The only hint I will give is the Christmas card attached. Look closely at the horses drawn on the front. ;-) :twisted: ;-) :twisted: ;-) :twisted: ;-)

I received a T-shirt - jade colored with the front pocket printed with the APF logo pocket print and on the back a full body Paso with Paso Fino written under the horse...so neat and what a pretty color.

Then I also received a white sweatshirt (crewneck) with the front pocket print - full body Paso w/"Paso Fino" text and on the back the awesome horsehead with the American flag - text: "...pursuit of happiness"

And to top it all off a "Gift Certificate" for one coffee mug with custom photo print of 'Turbo' and text of my choice.

It doesn't get any better than this...thank you Secret Santa, I love my gifts and can hardly wait to get a good pic of my "Turbo" for my cup! Thank You! A Merry and Blessed Christmas to You!

Yes Barb it was me...and please Explain the Snowman poop and reindeer poop before I get any nasty PM's.....

What's to explain? You gave me excrement for Christmas, how so very thoughtful of you! :twisted: Seriously, I LOVE the crude kitty calendar. I am glad you got me that instead of the Studs N' Spurs calendar. I looked at one in the mall the other day, and the guys, well let's just say, they don't look like cowboys, more like cow-sissy's. :lol:

Yeah I looked at both ..and thought about one of those cats making your avatar someday....I at least hope the Reindeer poop was a flavor you liked?? My dad is getting chocolate covered raisin flavored poop for his 'gag' gift..my sister- chocolate covered expresso beans..

I love everything! Thanks so much! I'm hoping the pink halter will fit Mila. She is going to be bred to Wendy's Capuchero, and I'm going to keep her in a pink halter as a reminder of what I want . . . .

diswick,

Glad you liked your gifts. :D

I enjoyed shopping for them at my very favorite store, Horsetown in Locust Grove GA. Everyone who drives thru Georgia shops there at one time or another. It's loads of fun and you just have to leave your credit cards and checkbooks locked up in the safety deposit box or you will end up selling the farm LOL!

Wishing you a Blessed and Merry Christmas!

I've had that happen to me before too...paid for 2nd day air, and they didn't fill the order for 3 days, and it sat somewhere over the weekend. Would have gotten here just as fast, regular mail. :roll:
