Santa needs to have a word with my ISP about making my internet stop working when I am trying to shop. Definitely coal this year for them!

(Are any other elves having trouble sticking to budget? I want to BUY ALL THE THINGS.)

I look at it as tho the budget is a suggestion, LOL....... no, really, I do have to be careful, especially this year. Went to the Equine Affaire with a little $ and my recipient's list, but only managed to find a few things...... biggest problem for me is that everything on OPUS"s list are the things *I* love the most, so it's hard to remember I'm NOT shopping for me!!1 :-)

[opus1elf]

OPUS1---- a few questions---

1. what size is your Oliver??
2. what riding style do you do?
3. do you ride w/gloves? what size / brand preference?
4. pls post or pm some of your favorite photos! Thanks :-)

[Alicat's Elf]

Oh Alicat!! Calling Alicat! Just letting you know you have an elf!
Will be looking at your list and checking it twice! LOL
Oh this is one happy elf, I was wondering if I was going to get a giftee this season. Santa had a long list for us elves this year! So excited!

[Blugal]

Yes, definitely had trouble sticking to budget!! I cheated by using some free shipping options, thereby increasing my budget for gifts!

[horsefaerie_elf]

Never fear, I am here! (and terrible at rhyming... that was the best I got...)

Horsefaerie just a few questions for you, so the shopping can begin!

What are your horse's names? Dog? Cat?
Favorite colors?
No food, how about tea?

[SunkenMeadow's SS]

Oh the decisions... Do I send several small boxes or one big one?
Oh the fun more shopping tonight have already been to 2 places! How SM likes her goodies as much as I liked pickign them out.
This is way more fun than shopping for DH!

[Alicat's Elf]

Alicat! Check in. This elf has so many questions!

[Only By Night]

I am definitely having trouble sticking to budget, but doing my best, haha. Buying horse stuff is so much fun, and I don't have anyone else in buy it for in "real life"... which ends in me just buying a lot of stuff for myself and my mare, ha.

Alicat! Check in. This elf has so many questions!

Are you Alicat's elf of AliCat518's elf? Might make a difference!

OH NO!!! You mean this goofy elf goofed already??
I an alicat518's elf. I did not put the 518 in.
You think I can change my alter. This elf is computer challenged as it is.
MAybe I had better send her a PM. No fear. She will still get great gifts.

[DressageTraks' Elf]

No word from my elf and no response yet from my giftee to a few messages, either. Ah well, I am having fun shopping here in the land of silence.

Never fear, your elf is here! I hear it's chilly over in your neck of the woods. Luckily your gift is coming from a land without sun, so we know a thing or two about keeping warm!

[Sannois]

Well I have a Giftee.. HAve not got a response from them, and HAve not heard from my elf, but I am a shopping. and a planning! I would be okay if no one bought me anything, I love to buy for folks! And this is the only person I have to buy for!

[Slewdledo]

I didn't receive a giftee, as best I can tell. ChocoMare, could you resend?

[Opus1]

OPUS1---- a few questions---

1. what size is your Oliver??
2. what riding style do you do?
3. do you ride w/gloves? what size / brand preference?
4. pls post or pm some of your favorite photos! Thanks :-)

1. Oliver is a 16h. He's got a finer/more petite head (cobb-ish) and a normal TB body.
2. Hunter equitation. I may dabble a bit on widdle xcountry and/or jumper class next year.
3. Yes! I tend to ride in cooler/unlined gloves, since it is hotter than hades down here. I'm a size 8, and right now, ride in Ariat Tekgrips. But anything that's lightweight that still has grip would be nice.
4. Will send you a PM right now!

[elf4sam.j4]

Oh Sam.j4, your elf is calling! I am so excited to start shopping, and I do believe that good things may come in more than one package, lol. I hope you like the gifts this elf will choose for you, may they bring a smile to your heart!

[dressagetraks]

Yay! Thanks for checking in, Elf.

Yes, I LOVE keeping warm. Had to break ice on the trough for the horses Monday for the first time this year, sigh. Winter isn't my favorite season - aside from Christmas, that is.

[PrimoAmor]

I was lucky and used the Horze.com code so was able to not spend all of my money in one trip. Now, what to buy with that unexpected extra???

[big_red_ottb]

I haven't heard anything from my elf, but I have been having much fun scheming and buying for my giftee...I just have to decide how I want to package it all!

[Blugal]

Oh, scheming is it? I'm afraid I haven't done quite enough scheming yet...

[Polydor]

Still haven't heard from my elf yet. Do have some additions to my details including having a cat! So please PM or leave message here so I can give you some more details!

P.

[big_red_ottb]

Oh, scheming is it? I'm afraid I haven't done quite enough scheming yet...

There's always scheming to be done!
