  Location: North Pole | For anyone who wants to post a thank you to their Secret Santa. If you want to post a picture of what you have received, feel free to do so. *This is not a requirement of the Secret Santa Gift Exchange.* But I thought instead of having many different "Thank You" threads, perhaps just one similar to the original sign-up thread would be simpler. |

The girls got gloves and puzzles (Which they are currently on kitchen floor putting them together!)
Awwww so happy to see those smiling girls! And glad you like yours, too! Can't begin to tell you how much fun I had putting the ideas together! I am blessed to have met some very talented ladies who have home businesses through my daughter's rodeo career, and I try to support them as much as possible. So, I lucked out in having your gifts made..these incredible gals were all over it!
Jordin Fritz, of Fritz Farms, makes all of Jillian's war bridles and the bosals. She does custom reins, mecates, you name it. Even made the hanger. She's awesome - kick butt pole bender, too, and someone I'm proud to call a friend, even if we have yet to meet in person. If you wanna see she has a page:
https://www.facebook.com/FritzFarms/?fref=ts
Another awesome lady made the polos for me. Julie took over the polo making business her daughter started in high school. This lady works two and three jobs, makes the polos to help put her daughter through nursing school. You cannot imagine all the patterns she has, and as someone who sews myself, I wouldn't touch making a set for no more than she charges. Have a set picked out for myself and one for daughter too lol. I was never into polos before her!

     Location: SW North Dakota | I got my gift today and HOLY CATS! My SS was so thoughtful and fun with her box, I am just over the top excited! There was no name on the box, but it came from IA and I'd really like to thank her properly. I was also a sneaky Secret Santa, so I understand wanting to remain a mystery... BUT REALLY- THANK YOU!!!
The throw pillows will be PERFECT in my LQ- the leather colors on the couch and dinette are chocolate with turquoise trim. There was a margarita kit with super handy mason jar glasses and some fun looking mix that I probably won't share. Nor will I share the chocolates. Cuz I love them. HA!!! A swanky new over-and-under, which is perfect for my new saddle... AND (this is funny), a carry-all boot bag. I bought my Santee one of these and ALMOST got one for myself, too. SOOO cool that my SS sent one.
It was really fun to open, and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into getting this stuff together for a STRANGER! THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES!!!

        Location: Where the long tails flow, ND | Nateracer - 2016-12-15 8:01 AM Girls_Gotta_Jet - 2016-12-14 7:29 PM Thank you smokin girlie! I love my stuff. My dog is already guarding her toy. And I am excited to use my cup. Yay!!! You did great, thank you so so much. I am hooked on those chocolate covered potato chips. I could eat like 3 boxes of those things. ETA: unfortunately I am not able to post pictures. Says it's too large. I'll keep trying though. Here's your pic! Girls Gotta Jet- Yay I'm so glad it made it! My dogs were eye balling that toy FOREVER haha!! Let me know how you like that cup, and that lid looked super handy since you can shut it!
Chippers are a local favorite, the candy store line is steady around this time of year!!
Merry Christmas!!

    Location: Missouri | IowaCanChaser thank you soooo much!!! My box probably arrived yesterday, but my 3.5 hour drive to pick up my son at the airport in St. Louis yesterday turned into a 13.75 hour drive and staying overnight because of our weather. This was an awesome pick me up!! You absolutely nailed EVERYTHING! Obviously you put a great deal of thought into these - I love and appreciate everything! Love LOVE the pictures - it's so nice getting to know each other!
The sugar skull fleece blanket is so perfect for me! I've got it over my lap now actually, as I'm indulging in some of the chocolate covered espresso beans (I wanna marry whoever invented these babies). I love the travel mug - wanted one for so long! - and the personalization is such a cool touch! The collar for Ruger matching the fleece blanket reverse side and mug is great!! Hot chocolate mixes, drink mixes - I can keep the mug filled hot or cold! Candy, hand sanitizer...wow! Can't wait to try the soap - I've heard of goat milk soaps, and they sound incredible - the scent you chose is definitely me, too!
Thank you, thank you, and Merry Christmas!! You really don't live that far from me! We may see you at rodeos this summer - Jillian is Miss Interstates Rodeo Association, so we'll be up that way a lot. If not maybe we can arrange it otherwise!

It was insured for 100, I will dig through my receipts and see if I can get it covered.
Glad you liked it, an assortment of everything.

Thank you SO SO much! I loved ALL of it and it was SO worth waiting for! I'm drinking some of the coffee as I type--and I'm SO glad you got grounds instead of K-cups, because all I have in my office is an ancient 4-cup Mr. Coffee maker, lol. The socks are super cute and I love that they are from your state. I devoured a caramel right after the pic, and have already made a spot on the Christmas tree for my star. I'm also wearing my cuff bracelet too--it is PERFECTLY my style. And the lip balm is TOO CUTE too :)
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sorry for the glare on the pics, but she got me 2 pretty framed prints, a wild rag, chocolate horse shoe, warm fuzzy socks, foot/hand warmers, hoof conditioner, a scentsy-type warmer with pumpkin melts (my favorite scent!!!) and a t-shirt that was supposed to say I run on caffeine, horses and cuss words! You nailed it! Thank you again! This so makes up for getting grinched last year!

I got a nifty mug to drink my daily coffee in, a cute sweater and treats for my little mutt Bradley, a silk scarf I'll have to learn how to wrap, a cool western frame, a buck ornament for my tree, a neat pair of turquoise earrings which I love, and leather barrel reins that I've been wanting! I still don't have a horse but I just prefer these reins over the cotton reins that I'm usually given riding other's horses. Thank you so much again, I really appreciate it!! I don't have Facebook but maybe I will again someday to add you

Oh my gosh I'm so glad you got it! I lost the tracking number, used the self packing option (I'm sure you could tell lol) and have been stressing like crazy! The scarf is a hand made wild rag and that thing will keep you warm lol here's a great video that teaches a buckaroo knot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Uml30arSM |

| Just wanted to give a shout out to my Secret Santa! You nailed it! Totally made my day when I saw the box sitting on my door step today. I just couldn't wait until Christmas to open it :D I already started playing with the AWESOME wireless speaker and can't wait to use all the scrapbook stuff! The owl ornament is adorable and already hanging on the tree and the mittens will definitely come in handy with how freezing cold it's been here. I love everything so much. THANK YOU!!!!

Omg yay!! I was watching the tracking and it said it had been delivered but I hadn't seen anything here so I was worried it maybe got delivered to the wrong place.. lol! Glad you liked everything and sorry it took me a little longer to ship out. It took me a little longer to make the halter than I was hoping. |
