Lol, I know how you feel. I had a super fun time shopping, but it was intimidating shopping for someone I didn't know. It was really fun though, and loved giving! |

Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!! | I think what you will find is they will love their gifts no matter what. I know I did!!!! The goodies and treats have been awesome but the scarf and headband that were hand made are seriously the coolest thing ever. I see them every morning and every night where I have them hung up and it makes me smile to see them. It is the thought that counts!!!
PS-mbellos, you are your grandmother are awesome. I just wanted to tell you that again.   |

I do not have anything either, but my SS in Texas Gunnar11 made my day anyway. Glad just to make a new friend if I ever get down again to Texas. Would like to made another new friend, but I guess it wasn't meant to be this year. 
Yes, if you ever come to Texas, let me know!  |

Location: Clarkston, Wa. | Thank you Miss Scarlet. After seeing your pictures, it sure made it fun. I can't believe all the Camo stuff I see in the stores now that I never paid attention to before. Mossy Oak and Real Tree is really poplar stuff. We will try to let you know if we come down again for the big Pole Bending at the Fort Worth show. We went a couple years ago during your big ice storm you had. |

Location: Clarkston, Wa. | That is OK Rodeo with Joker. Just nice to know I have a new friend. I am the other fruit loop in your box. That is my favorite quote. I just love Christmas time and the giving. My bunch of other loops that I ride with always exchange. It is such a good time. I look forward to your gift and to know I have a new friend. Looks like from Kansas. |

I love the gift exchange and felt horrible that time kept getting away from me. Next year I am going to have to shop earlier since there is basically no shopping in my hometown.
I had planned on shopping at Bonus Race Finals in Tulsa - then the snow & ice kinda wreaked havoc on that event - then I was going to finish up the next Thursday. Ended up CREAMING a deer with the truck & trailer and limping it home in spurts. Which was oh so fun. lol. Got my shopping done on the weekend, then got to work Tuesday and promptly had a flat tire so the car was stranded until Dad could come to town and change the tire (Tuesday is an insane day at work and I never even have time for lunch let alone changing a tire). So I was excited when I finally made it to the post office Wednesday. Then my gray horse won enough money to pay for either the new radiator in the truck or the new car tire........finally the month is turning around!
Glad my fruit loop quote amuses you. It is oh so true about me......or so I have been told.
Merry Christmas!!! |

I've spoken her enough to know the stresses of it but I do know that the end result has all been worth it!! |

I agree, she has done a wonderful job. Hope you change your mind on doing this again next year. Maybe we could add an administrative elf to help out next year. |

Location: Clarkston, Wa. | Received my wonderful SS gift today in the late mail. Such excitement. Rodeowithjoker (Melanie) is my secret santa. Yeah, a friend from Kansas. She sent bones for my dogs. they were so excited. Bigger than the ones I have ever given them. Candy (gone) Yummy.
A scented wall plug in which I love having anything scented (good smells) like I was baking or something, and a badly needed beautiful picture frame. Looks like barn wood and barb wire. It is really neat. Thank you so much Melanie.
Now this totally non teck savvy terrible on computers person that I am has to ask hubby for help putting a picture on, so that may take a while, but I will corral him shortly for help....
