| I forgot to comment on here, oops.
I have don't the exchange for two years, and it has been fun.
A little about me
I have horses of all ages, one who has been running a year, one 6 yr old who is still a work on progress, and three nice 3 yr olds I am working with.
I also have 3 donkies and one mini mule
Things I like
Mule tape halters
Back on track
I also enjoy things whether it be barbecue sauce, candles, homemade lotions from small towns/communities. I am all about heritage
I am not one for jewelry.
I like mittens not gloves, headbands very particular on toques.
Colors, I don't really have a favourite or a color I dislike
I also like vet text books, this way I can have an educated discussion with my vet regarding diagnosis, drugs, treatments |

I'm so glad I'm not the only one in this boat. My gift recipient has not posted on the board in a year and even Facebook stalking is not giving me any information. I have PM'd the secret santa person and they haven't even opened my message. The whole situation is frustrating and I kind of wish I hadn't signed up this year because having no information on who I'm shopping for is creating a lot of extra stress. I had hoped to shop this week since I don't have any students, but I really can't do that with no info on my buddy, so there's no way my gift will be on time unless that changes soon. |

I would say if she can't be respectful to open your message - and this is me speaking I wouldn't do it. If she has been posting on FB, she knows you have sent a message..... just my opinion. I never recv'd a thank you from her either..... that was what upset me the most.

Location: North Pole | Hi everyone!!! Don't forget that gifts need to be mailed this week, unless you have previously arranged something different. This year has gone pretty smoothly, with only one person failing to participate accordingly, which in turn led to another person dropping out.
I have put in as much time and effort as my life has allowed me to. This means I may be slow to respond to messages since I may not be able to log on as often as possible. In the future, if my response time isn't fast enough for you PLEASE make an effort to contact me on Facebook, many of you are friends with me on there or know somebody who is. Facebook is much quicker because I can easily access it on my phone. BHW is not what my life revolves around, and I don't appreciate having nasty comments posted on here regarding my response time. I work, have two kids, and life happens.
I look forward to seeing the pictures of everyone's gifts!! Merry Christmas!!! And don't forget to send me your tracking info. |

I never got my buddy's info
I sent buddy info out during the last week of October to everyone that I had received initial participation messages from. I also posted on here once I had sent out all of the messages saying that if you messaged me initially and did not receive a buddy - TO MESSAGE ME.
It's too late to jump in now, but hopefully you participate next year!
