***2021 Kringle Exchange***

[PhoenixRising]

I’m getting this started later than usual so I apologize!
I’ve not posted a lot in awhile, but I promise I’ve still been here lol.
**********************************************************************************************************************
For those wishing to participate, Here is what you need to know!

This is our annual Christmas gift exchange. To participate please fill out the form below and email it to DDBBKringle@gmail.com. I'll do my best to get your Kringle assignment to you before thanksgiving. You'll then go shopping for your Kringle, find that perfect gift, and stick it in the mail! If we have anyone wanting to join in the exchange after Thanksgiving, I’ll do my best to accommodate! Please try to get your gifts in the mail early enough to arrive before Christmas.

Happy Kringling!

Oh my gosh you’re right. I looked back in my posts and I had no idea it had been so long since I’ve posted. We have been up to SO much this year. Look forward to a LONG “where has Phoenix and Gilbert been all year” post in the next couple days when I can get a chance to sit down and type up a novel
Seriously. This year has been wild.

Thank you galopp for my new tree ornaments!!! They are so cute and are perfect for my homely little tree. Now let’s see if I can figure out how to attach a picture.

I love the chapsticks too

Glad you and your pups got them (love dobes too). (Amazon could be more helpful, but they got there!!!)

I received my cram packed box with a delightful assortment of treats from Sue. My dogs enjoyed their treats. I think I will try the hot chocolate and marshmallow in Tandem. Yum. I am especially looking forward to the apple butter. Thank you very much. Oh my gosh, AND a smartpak gift card. Thank you so much!!

[Sue B]

You are most welcome. I hoped it would brighten your day. Your posts are often so very helpful to me and my ponies.

Just checked and looked like it will arrive today! There should be two other things coming together.

You know...the horses were so thrilled with those delicious treats, nothing else was required or expected!

That said, I just got the most perfect saddle pad, exactly the color I was planning on buying to show Rudy in this summer! Thank you sooo much, I can't wait to show it off. Also, my feet will be so comfy, cozy in those merino socks. Thank you again Blob...you rock
