Set Completer/Set Starter Swap2 Brag Thread!

[gazzy90]

Great box Tira-Misu, you got so many ponies!
Surprise looks gorgeous! And isn't Milka chocolate the best? 

[ChipsteRJ]

Some of my all-time favorite candies! Skeen did a terrific job- Wouldn't you all agree?

1 Starter and 1 completer- I'm floored!

Here they are united! Very hard to use a flash on shiny bodies! Can you tell who my favorite pony is?

Here you have both the CHINA and the HK marked counterpart- see the color differences between the sets- pretty AMAZING!

I hope my partner gets their box soon.... I also hope I get mine. Great brags y'all!

I am so in love with Lavender Lace. She's one of the ones I was hoping I'd magically get, and I am so glad that I did! I finally have all the TE and Tropical ponies now, so those two sets are complete.
I have so much chocolate that I won't be needed to make a candy run for a while! I was opening my box in front of my mom and she kept on rolling her eyes as I was bragging about all the chocolate, LOL!! I'll share, of course!  Everything I got candy-wise is a FAVORITE of mine! Awesome choice, gargoylekitty! Thanks so much for a wonderful box!

Great box DazzleKitty! Beautiful ponies and yummy chocolate, what more could a girl ask for? 

[ladybrooklyn]

Woohooo!!! More brags!!!

Great boxes, everypony! Love it!!!

Stupid mailman didn't bring me anything today. Lots of boxes yesterday... no swap box...  but still.

Here's hoping for tomorrow! The anticipation is killing me!

[gargoylekitty]

Happy to see it got there and glad you liked it!


Also, I love Lavender Lace too! In fact, I'd originally bought that one with the intent of having a second one, but then she arrived not too long after the swap started and there she was on your list! So, I decided she was meant to be yours.

[ladybrooklyn]

YAY!!! The ONE day I don't run out to my mailbox to get the mail... my mailman comes to my door... and hands me a strange package....

It's from... Finland? Egad! Could this be my box!?!?

(it was wrapped in wrapping paper, and then addressed. Shown here with all of that torn off! HAHA!)

And... OMG the glitter and confetti!!! I feel like I was attacked by a Pinkie Pie welcome party! HAHAHAHAHA!

(I saved EVERY STITCH of that confetti!!! My neices and friends will certainly enjoy it when they open birthday cards for a while! Awesome!!!)

  All of the packages laid out neatly... just before I TORE into them!

So nicely wrapped... it was really hard not to just demolish them.... NOT!!!

But look... this package gives me reason to pause... Ok... it must be set aside, to be opened last...

Oh Tira-Misu... You have no idea how... floored I am. Sure... you didn't "complete" any sets...  but that doesn't matter. To have these ponies, sent on to me from YOUR collection...    I'm so... I can't think of an appropriate word to express my gratitude! I really can't!
 
I mean... I opened Whirly first... and I was stunned... She's so lovely!!! I've been looking for one for ages... but she always seemed to elude me...
 
And then I found Starry Wings amongst the Chocolate...    I was SHOCKED! I'm in love!!! She really is the most lovely (IMHO ) of the Winger ponies!!! 

And the Daisy Dreams Blindbag! woohoo!!! One more blindbag for the growing army! She's so CUTE! I love that pose!
 
 
But....
 
There is still one package to go... What on EARTH could be better than winger ponies and a blindbag pony!?!?!

O....
 
M....
 
G....
 
There's no way... 
 
Do I detect a hint of Sugarberry and Sea Nymph beneath that tissue paper!?

I'm shaking... I have no idea how I got a clear picture...
 
It is!
 
It's a NBBE Baby Gusty!!!!

Flaws or not... I don't care! I love her!!! She's adorable! BEST PONY EVER!!!
 
I'm just... flummoxed... I really am! I've just been... BEYOND spoiled! I never... ever thought I'd ever receive a NBBE Baby Gusty in a Swap... Never!
 
Rocky approves! Here he is with everything laid out all nice and neat! (notice... I was so thoroughly distracted by the lovely ponies I received... that ALL of the chocolate is still present and unopened. )

All of the ponies together... SQUEE!!!!!

Tira-Misu... don't you ever... EVER... for a moment let yourself think that I would be disappointed by anything you sent me! I don't care that I didn't get to "complete" a set! The ponies you sent me (even if they had been random ponies, or ones that hadn't been on my want list), still came from the kindness of your heart, and your collection! I love them all!
 
Here are the Wingers... hanging out with their sisters! You certainly got me one heck of a huge step closer to completing them! (I have managed to pick up a couple of Wingers over the last few months in lots on ebay... but these two gals have been harder to track down!)

Once again... THANK YOU... from the bottom of my heart! You absolutely made my day, my week... my month!
 
Ok... now I'm going to allow myself to indulge in some of that chocolate! YUM! (I did sample a touch of each one before posting this brag... And wow... you sent some absolutely DIVINE chocolate! I want to share with hubby... but...    I dunno! It's all so yummy... I think I might have to be selfish and keep it for myself! )

Wow, ladybrooklyn! What an awesome box you scored! Congrats!

[ladybrooklyn]

Wow, ladybrooklyn! What an awesome box you scored! Congrats!

I KNOW right!?!? Tira-Misu went just... above and beyond! I'm still on cloud 9 out here!

Awesome ladybrooklyn!

Hey all!

Sorry about the delay, I've had a crazy week.  My baby is only 4 months, and has started teething, and my ferret had an emergency that required a trip to the vet...

Ahem, anyway, I'm finally getting to sit down at my pc.  I've got a bit of a double brag for you.  First off, I recieved my package from the lovely ThriftyPony.  My husband came in and said "There's a box for you.  It's covered in ponies." and he almost opened it on me =P

The presents inside...

And here's what was inside;

I'm going to put the bunny in the freezer so that I can eat it once I'm done with breatfeeding and can have dairy again.  The cupcake bites are adorable!  I passed them on to my husband and brother-in-law because of the flour in them, and they were very happy.  They said they are very good!  Then there's Dibble Dabble from my random list, and Cloud Dreamer and NM Sweetberry (with the most gorgeous non-frizzy hair) from my set completers.

I'll edit this post and add pics of my completed sets as soon as I get a chance, I promise.  Thank you Thrifty!

The second part of my brag is that MY trade partner, Gargoylekitty, sent me some dairy-free chocolate (the stuff I can eat now, and that I was looking for for her!) and some gluten-free cookies.  They arrived on friday, just before I had to race off to the vet with my ferret, and brightened what was otherwise a pretty lousy day. 

Thank you both so much!!!   




*edit*

I finally got to add the pics I promised of my set completers.  Here's Sugarberry with the TAF ponies;
