2012 Valentines Swap Brags

[Eskara1862]

I think I'm the first one in the Valentines Swap to get a package!  So, here we go, Brag Time!

I was home all day and the mailman never even knocked on the door to let me know I had a box.  Hubby found it on the porch when he left to get some groceries.  I, of course, stayed home and had fun opening everything.

Once I got the box open, I discovered....

Check out that adorable card!  And look at those pretty dragonfly stickers    The card let me know that my package came from the marvelous Mercynova.  She totally spoiled me!  Since there wasn't anything telling me to open packages in a certain order, I grabbed the one in the bottom right of the photo and found...

Eeh!  Rainbow Flash Blind Bag!  She's so much more purple in real life than I expected.  And that means I like her all the more

Next up was tea.  I'm drinking it right now.  This stuff is great!  Nice and fruity without any bitterness at all. I'm going to have this as my morning tea and try to make it last the whole month

Mercynova, HOW DID YOU KNOW? I've been looking at the thrift shop for something that would suffice as a tea bag drip tray for the past month! I like to let me tea bags dry out when I'm at work so I can take them home and compost them.

Item number 7 we'll save for the end, because the results were so much fun =)

Number 8 was the Fluttershy Nursery:

I think this one has lighter hair than the US versions.  Look at those cute little critters... This isn't staying in the box for long!  Or, maybe it will.  Easier to dust... Gah, I'm so torn!

These smelled so good before I even opened them.  Hubby keeps coming in and stealing "one more."

Here's a photo of everything opened. Of course, we had a photo bomb.  That's to be expected, considering what the last item was...

The last item, actually the 7th I opened, was treats for Misty!

She was trying to get these way before I even had the package open!  Misty highly approves and says thank you.  We made a video so you can see how much she enjoys them =)

THANK YOU MERCYNOVA!!!!!  You totally spoiled me silly and I love absolutely everything.
