Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this year’s gift exchange! As always, your creations were absolutely wonderful and you never fail to blow me away with your talent and creativity!
To find your name in this big post: if you’re on a computer, do (ctrl + f). If you can’t find it, try your warrior name or nickname. Ex: Goldenpaw is named as Goldenfawn or Goldi. Unless they specified, the person who made your gift will not be listed in the post, but feel free to ask away in the comments and connect with your buddies! 😀
A HUGE thank you to our backup gifters: Emberpaw/shine, Rowanwing, Hollypaw/fang, Skyshine, Emeraldpaw/breeze, Rosemarypaw/leaf, Viperfrost, Mapledrift, Moonpaw/shimmer, Amberleaf, Riverspirit, Flamepaw/spirit, Darkwing, and I completed a few backup gifts myself! 🙂 Please send your love and appreciation their way, the exchange genuinely could not be completed in a timely manner without our amazing volunteers. <3
I hope y’all had an amazing holiday season and wish you a great New Year! 🙂 Thank you for your patience while we worked to complete backup gifts!
Now, onto the gifts!
To Mistpaw (Mistfeather)
“Dear Mistfeather,
Happy Holidays! I hope that you have a wonderful time celebrating with all your traditions and activities! You are so special in all ways! I bet you’ll enjoy your break by reading your favorite book series, Keeper of the Lost Cities, and I hope you have somewhere warm to swim!
-From your Secret Santa”
Deep down in the forest
Through the brush and the trees
A sweet silver kitty
Plays happily
She jumps into the icy water
She shivers, though she’s jolly
The snow coming from above
Is laced with sweet smells of holly
Mistfeather, that’s her name
Has many different holiday games to play
She likes to read during the evening light
And she likes to look up at the turquoise sky
Her friends all want her to come along
They’ll rejoice in a holiday song
This season is a lovely one
Mistfeather, I hope you have lots of fun!
Magical
Inspiring
Sweet
Thoughtful
Fun
Elegant
Artsy
Talented
Hardworking
Empathetic
Radiant
To Riverspirit
To Erik Sniper Flintblade (Shadedheart)
“Hi Erik!! I’m your secret gifter this year, and I wanted to make you a poem for you!
Here goes nothing!
A black tabby sits in the forest, with the darkness enveloping;
But the colors of the forest break through.
He fights against the darkness, with the power of the forest
And the arts of taekwondo combined.
The trees swaying around him, the scars he gained from past fights empower him.
His amber eyes glow as the light from the stars descend to the earth.
As the darkness is dispelled, the stars glow, surrounding him.
He looks up to the stars and closes his eyes.
When they open, they glow with the renewed determination of a tom
Who walks with the light of the stars.
-Your Secret Gifter (Guess who!)”

To Sparrowpaw (Sparrowstream)
To Moonpaw (Moonshimmer)
Moon in the night sky
On New Year’s Eve
On the ground
Nobody watching but one
Single she-cat
Her tortoiseshell fur shimmers
In the moonlight
Maybe she’s sad the year is over
Maybe she’s excited for a new one to begin
Eyes shining green
Really, she’s just enjoying the light.
