Christmas Arrived Early!

Oh What Fun!

This was the 6th year for the Equestrian Blogger Gift Exchange, hosted by Tracy at The Printable Pony.  This is my 2nd or 3rd year participating and it's ever so much fun.

If you're a horse blogger and have never participated, keep an eye on Tracy's blog or facebook for next year's entry deadline.  Tracy sends you a blogger's name, address, blog, and some guidance on what your blogger might like, then you choose a gift  (around $20) and send it off to your blogger.  It's a great way to find new-to-you blogs and it's so fun to see what all the bloggers exchanged.

My gift came so early that I stared at the package on my doorstep for a good 45 seconds wondering why this unknown person sent me a Priority Mail package!  It may also have been before coffee...

Once I realized what it was, I excitedly opened the box to find a cute Santa bag with this adorable tag!


LOL!


Inside was a sweet little zippered bag, and a nice haul of homemade beauty items from Elizabeth at the Clover Ledge Farm Blog




The bag is made by another fellow blogger Amanda at Bel Joer Blog  - another new-to-me blog!  She has an ETSY STORE if you want to snag one for yourself!  She has lots of fun things for sale!

The  "Praise" soap, 'Czangria & Shiraz lip balms, and Peanut Butter Cup Coffee face scrub are from KJ Creations. 

I'm excited to try all of these fun gifts!  Thank you Elizabeth!!!

Wishing you and yours a peaceful Holiday Season. 

And if you are still in need of a quick stocking stuffer, check out my Etsy Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BuckstitchBeckys but you better hurry, we're getting close to the shipping deadlines. Gift Certificates (printable .pdf) can be purchased up through the 23rd!

Five.

Yesterday was the National Day of the Horse.

Yesterday marked 5 years from the day I had to let my Junebug go.

Leading up to the day I thought I would write a big long post about where I was in my journey of grief and healing. 
I thought I would have a lot to say.

But I don't. 

At least not today.

Hug your ponies.
