Yaaay, the slower-than-molasses mail finally delivered my much awaited package! As the only two Canadians in the running, Nat D from Jump2PlanBE and I drew each other, as I tried to arrange it so that people within the same country (and/or section of the country) drew each other to reduce shipping costs and time.
I was really excited to get this in the mail, and right off the pat she did NOT disappoint with this absolutely stunning and autographed card. Love me a dark bay, too!
As if that wasn't enough, the note inside was absolutely inspiring of tears.
Next, the ultimate unveiling
(though I was pretty sure the gorgeous card and kind words were plenty already!)

Oooh goodie!!!
It's worth mentioning, I provided a pretty vague wish list, but wowza Nat nailed it! First off, who doesn't need more cookies?! I like to attempt to buy my horses affection with an obscene amount of them, so that is a sure-fire way to do me a solid right off the hop. Next up were some really neat looking waterproof merino gloves that deceptively appear like your standard cotton gloves that soak in seconds so I am REALLY excited to try these, especially because I always end up wearing my good riding gloves when I'm out with the horses, and they get ruined faster and ultimately make their way to my house, where they end up lost. It's a real problem.
Anyway, there was also a lovely goat hair face brush which funnily enough, Sierra LOVES her face being brushed so this is perfect. In fact, when I went and tried her out they literally said "don't even think of getting on her unless you brush her face." Alas, I have forgone that important step many a'time and fared just fine, but the girl loves a good buffing!
Speaking of buffing, there was also this REALLY neat spongey-looking-thing that was vacuum sealed and upon opening it up it puffed right up. It looks like the holy grail of mud-removing necessities, and I had honestly never even heard of them before so I'm super stoked to give it a try!
Round all those incredible items out with a super fun sticker and I got my self one heckkkkk of a sweet Exchange gift! To top it all off, I didn't follow Nat before so now I've made a new friend!
Thank you so much Nat, you're an absolute Gem!
Yeah! Secret Santa! Im excited for next year!
