Make a Wish Swap Brag:  Thank You Shenanigans!!!

I really didn't expect to get my swap box so soon!  And I was surprised and delighted that it came from the wonderful and super sweet Shenanigans who is not only generous, but is also thoughtful and creative.  I am one lucky girl!  I really couldn't be happier and more pleased with the ponies and extras she picked out for me. 


First of all there were Princess and Pony stickers on the box (names and other info removed).

Then I opened to this stunningly beautiful hand made card.

It is so pretty and I immediately put it on my dresser so I could see it.  I know it is going to make me smile every time I look at it.  And inside is one of my very favorite ponies, Rapunzel!  Isn't her hair just so perfect?  The sparkles were a really nice touch!

Oh my Goodness look at all the pretty packages!  I love the cherries and Rapunzel prints!

Shenanigans picked out the perfect treats for me!  I love those gummy peaches with a passion.  They also remind me of spending time shopping with my mom at department stores when I was little.  She would always let me get a small bag of them and so I associate them with everything good!  And now I have even more reason to think of them as special.  Thank you so much!  Also notice the pretty lollypop!

Stickers!!!  I collect stickers and these are the perfect additions!  Notice the jellyfish sticker?!  And the ponies and a collectors book for Tangled.  I love it!

Look at all the stickers for Tangled!  Rapunzel has always been my favorite fairytale and so I am thrilled to have this book and the stickers to go with it!  Of course now I am going to want to fill it up!

Best of all, look at the puffy G1 pony stickers!  I really love these guys.  I've been wanting these for my sticker books for a while!

That small box everyone was wondering about?  It contained the puffy stickers!  What a cute way to protect them:

Shenanigans knew exactly what kinds of scents I would love.  In the cutest candy corn bag I have ever seen I found 4 lip glosses in super yummy fall scents.  Mmmmm!!!  There is also peach lotion (yum) and berry scented bubble bath (double yum).  She also included an adorable emory board with a Halloween cat on one side and a spider on the other.  So cute!  There was an orange flower which I am going to wear quite a lot I suspect!  My favorite color is orange!  I can't forget the wind up sushi!  As soon as I opened it I started laughing!  Love it!

Shenanigans doesn't know it, but I collect plush jellyfish.  I have a bunch!  One of these days I am going to decorate my Christmas tree with them.  I was totally surprised to see that she found me a plush jellyfish!  And it is one I have never seen before!  It is going to get a very special place in my collection.  I love the brilliant aqua blue.  And look what else!  She sent me a crocheted catnip toy jellyfish too!  He is one happy camper!

What was in that pretty orange bag?

A beautiful ornament!  I am going to treasure it and put it on my tree every year!!  I love ornaments and can never have enough!

We all know what was in here!  I haven't tried them yet because they are so pretty!  They made it safely through the mail and only one is broken.  My husband is threatening stealing them when I am not looking.  No no!  I have to carefully take them out and take more pictures before I can even taste them!  So they are carefully sealed up at the moment.  They smell delicious!  And they are such works of art that I am going to feel guilty when I do eat them!  These really are special Shenanigans!  You went all out!

Speaking of art! Shenanigans made me two beautiful pieces of art (three when you could the card, and four if you count the cookies).  She made one of Mommy and Baby Sugarberry out collecting strawberries from their garden.  I love it!  Sugarberry is probably my favorite pony, and the fact that she is with her baby makes it even sweeter!  Thank you for making such a touching picture. 

(I cropped off your signature because I wasn't sure if you wanted your name it on here.  I'm very sensitive to keeping personal information out of pictures.  I can put up the whole picture if you like)

And then she did a second picture with seaponies, Megan, and sea creatures.  This one has jellyfish, a cuttlefish, sea urchins, and a nudibranch!  All things I love very much!  The cuttlefish is especially adorable.  For never having drawn one, it is probably one of the cutest cuttlefish I have seen in art.  I love that Megan looks like she is holding her breath, but is still super cute and her hair and bangs are floating in the water.

On to the ponies!!!  You really spoiled me!  I think you sent me almost every single pony on my most wanted list!  Every one of them is beautiful!  They are all now on my dresser having a small pony party. 

First the sparklers!  She sent me a rainbow of blind bags from the newest set and she sent the three others that I was really looking for!  They all came with their cards too (not pictured).  I really really love these!

Trixie!!!  I had been looking for her!  She is one of the prettiest G4s yet!

Then there was a pretty selection of G3s!  Citrus is one of my all time favorite G3s and I never bought her for myself.  Now that I have her, I wonder why I never gave in before!  And look who is in the front, Shenanigans!  Who happens to also be a pony I wanted, but now she is all the more special for having come from Shenanigans!  Then there is Tea Leaf which reminds me of Shenanigans so much because she likes yellow ponies with pink hair and this is kind of the reverse.  And Sparklesnap who's colors just fascinate me.  It doesn't seem like they go together but they really do.

Onto the G1s:  Two twinkle eyed ponies!!!  Yay!!  I love twinkle eyed ponies so much!  Sweet Pop is one of the ones I just started wanting to get!  Shenanigan's must have read my mind!  And Galaxy was one of my most wanted ponies.  She is also a pony that my sister had as a kid, which is one of the reasons I wanted her so much.  She reminds me of good times with my sister as kids.  I am so happy to have her in my collection!

Eeee!!!  I was given Goldilocks and Wildflower!  These two beauties have been at the top of my list for a long time and I just adore them!  They are both my very first sweetheart sisters and so I am super excited about them.  Goldilocks looks just so amazing in person.  I never realized her hair has two tones of gold.  She really is spectacular.  Wildflower's color and symbol have to be one of my favorites on any pony.  And she came with an earring!  I hadn't realized she had an earring!  Sweetheart sisters are a little daring, aren't they!  lol!

I debated because it was a little big, but I thought it was so cute The puffy stickers were the very first things I bought for you, I'm glad you love them I just had to get you stickers since you collect I found Trixie at Target two days before I shipped, lol!

My sister sells Avon and when I saw that adorable candy corn bag I was, "OMGMUSTGETFORPARTER!" because I know you like candy corn I'm so glad you love everything, this has been just SO FUN! Eeep!

[hathorcat]

Congrats on the box Marigold!!!

[terabithianprince]

Wow, what an amazing swap box. Shenanigans you did an amazing job

[Buddafly]

great box!  lots of amazing goodies.  *makes grabby hands at the cookies*

[lochnessmomster]

Wow, wow, and triple wow. 

Partner, I hope you love your box, but I can guarantee there won't be original artwork and decorated cookies, lol.  You've set the bar high, Shenanigans! 

Marigold, I'm so glad you received this box.  I think we were all secretly wishing for those cookies, but it looks like they went to the right person.  And only one broke, incredible!

As with the first box, I think I am almost more intrigued with the extras than the actual ponies.  That plush jellyfish is the cutest!  I also like the nail file, orange flower hair clip, and lip glosses.  The stickers and the treats, too!  I loved reading the story about the Haribo peaches... what a lovely memory.

Another fabulous box, yippee!!!

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Oh wow what lovely lovelies!    So much fun to watch people opening them!

I love it all!!  You really did pick out everything I would like.    And I love your card you sent for me to read last too. 

Marigold, I'm so glad you received this box.  I think we were all secretly wishing for those cookies, but it looks like they went to the right person.  And only one broke, incredible!

I feel a little guilty to be so lucky about the cookies and everything!  And I know I can't send homemade goodies to my partner!  I just don't bake or cook much.  Which, really does make these cookies extra special.  I rarely have home made treats like these. 

[NovelNerd]

Wow   I knew Shen was putting a lot of love into the box, but just wow that is beautiful! What a lovely box, congrats Mari! That card and art is just so lovely. You can tell a lot of care went into that box.

[Saja]

Amazing box of goodies!!!

[Shenanigans]

Aww, I'm so glad I'm glad I picked out the right candy as well! You were a pleasure to shop for I'm touched you remembered that I like yellow ponies with pink hair! I couldn't find the codes on the blind bags anymore, so I randomly picked up one and bought it and it was Pepperdance! Exactly the one I was looking for I'm really glad you liked all my home made things It was so fun making them all!

Aw, guys, thanks! I did go a bit overboard, but I just couldn't help it.. it being my first swap and all I can't wait to see everyone else's too!!

[hyenacub]

Wow, what a great box!!  Congrats to you, and good on Shenanigans for the awesomeness!  I don't know if I would eat those cookies either.  They're more suitab;e to FRAME them.  They're that cool looking.    That crocheted jellyfish made me grin.

And a tree decorated with them sounds awesome!  If you do that I wanna see pics!
