Warning! This is going to be a very long brag with lots of pictures!
I'll apologize now. This brag is going to involve lots of pictures and lots of reading. My partner really went out of her way to make this the best swap box I could ever imagine, actually even better than I could ever have imagined. And I want to make sure she knows just how much I appreciate her and everything she sent me!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My turn! My partner was the wonderful, incredible, totally amazing TexasGal! She completely spoiled me beyond belief! I was having a pretty bad day and feeling kinda sad, until I opened my front door and saw this cute little box sitting in the entry way! I knew right away that it was my swap box and my whole day turned around! I was so happy and so excited and I hadn't even opened it yet!
First things first. The bottom of the box was decorated with these amazing Zentangle designs! I usually try to reuse boxes, but not this time. I'm definitely going to cut the bottom off of this box and save it!

(My sister is a pony collector & member here, Daring Symphony. She helped me put together my box for this swap.) Turns out all the packages in the colorful tissue paper were for her! She is at work, but I phone conferenced with her while I was opening the box. She is so excited that some of the gifts are for her and she is going to open them and brag about them as soon as she gets home.

Really pretty pink dangle earrings, my favorite kind! I will wear these next time I go out! Really cool holographic G4 valentines, the kind that change when you look at them from different angles! I didn't even now these existed, they are so cool, I love them! The extra on the bottom left that looks like a goldfish in a prize bag is actually soap! Isn't that like the coolest thing you've ever seen? I love it! York Peppermint Patties, yum! I've already eaten a few! Blackberry vanilla fragrance mist that smells wonderful! Three cute pencils with ice cream and cupcakes on them! And a cute little notepad! I'm feeling quite spoiled at this point and I haven't even opened the ponies yet!

Twinkler is one of my favorites and I've been wanting her, so I was so happy when I saw her! I love her colors and her beautiful glittery symbols! And her earring is perfectly intact! I love her!

Magic Hat was the last one I needed to complete the set and I really love completing sets! I was over the moon with happiness when I saw her! And her symbols are amazing, it's so rare to find such nice symbols on a Magic Message pony! I love her!

I have been searching for her since I started collecting. I've been close many times, but somehow the deal always falls through. I was beginning to think I'd never own Butterscotch, and now here she is, in my hands! You can't even imagine my happiness at this point, and the best is yet to come!

Bowtie is my absolute favorite pony of all time and this custom is so completely amazing! I can't possibly begin to describe her awesomeness in words! The details are unbelievable! I've always admired your customs TexasGal, and now I am lucky enough to own one! I am so happy and so impressed and so honored that you made her for me!

So here I am pretty much sitting on cloud 9, about to open the last package! Who could it be? Omg, no way! It's Collectors Pose Bowtie! You have no idea how much I've wanted her and how insanely happy and excited I was when I saw her! I've pretty much run out of words to describe my happiness by now, so it's a good thing that was the last package!

Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! You have truly made my year! I could have never even begun to imagine such an amazing box! I literally felt like a little girl at Christmas surrounded by so many wonderful, amazing presents! I tried to capture my excitement and emotion in this brag so you could see exactly how I felt as I opened each package, but there really is no way to describe how wonderful and amazing and happy and special you made me feel! You really went out of your way to make this the best swap box ever and I hope you know that I really truly appreciate it! I am so happy that you were my swap partner and I only hope that one day I am able to repay your kindness! Thank you so much!
