2015 Ornament Swap - all done

[icecreamgirl]

Gorgeous ornaments. I remember pictures of the wands being posted last year, they are so unique!
My ornaments are all packed away in the loft at the moment but I think my favourites are a little pink fairy that has always been on the tree since I was little ~ my Mum gave her to me a few years ago, and the disney Winnie the Pooh set I got when we first went to Florida in 2004. I also love the G1 cotton candy ornament as that is the only pony one I own!

[CapnChan]

Yay I am in!

Ok before I answer the questions, my first one is there a limit to how many ornaments I can include? I would love to send my recipient at least 3 different ones (2 MLP custom ornaments and 1 pet ornament, would need picture of pet).

1. What colours do you prefer:

Green is my favorite, would love anything with holiday themed colors though.

2. Do you want or are you opposed to Religious ornaments (please be specific as there are lots of different religions that celebrate holidays this season)?:

Please no religious ornaments.

3. What Themes do you like (santa, snow flakes, carousels, funny, etc)?

Santa, reindeer, candy canes, snowflakes, anything really!

4. What candy do you like or dislike?

The only type of candy  dislike is licorice, anything else, just surprise me!

5. Would you prefer one expensive amazing ornament, or lots of little cheaper ones, something in between?

Either or is fine with me.

6. Are you happy to get glass ornaments (they break easily)?

Don't mind at all.

7. What do you collect?  Would you like these collections reflected in either the ornaments or the extras in your swap box.

MLP, Star Trek, Jem and the Holograms, WW2 stuff..

8. Are there any customs issues that are relevant (for example, Australia can be funny about things like straw)?

Nope

Here is a tease for a bit of what I can do, not sure the rules but I can make a specific pony if I know which one. http://imgur.com/a/Mk1gE

There is no ornament number limit, rather a box value limit.  Which is $15.  Some people in the swap would prefer you spend all that on one, some would rather get a tonne of things for that $15.

Yes! Just like what xeevee had said your limit is only $15 but however if you want to spend more that up to you. But before you make
any homemake ornaments make sure your partner is ok with them though. You do have two people that do not want homemade ornaments.

Updated my questions on page 3!

I'm loving all the ornament pictures and people's descriptions of their favorite ornament (what an excellent question!). I may have to take a few pictures when my tree is up (which my roommates won't let happen till the day after Thanksgiving, haha). I also didn't know Alivan made ornaments. How neat!

I'm going to Disney World in three weeks, and I'm so excited! They will have up a lot of their Christmas stuff, and I will get to see the last year of The Osborn Festival of Lights.

I have so many ornaments it's hard to choose a favorite!!

I love this one:

And the one Maddie had made of my doggies last year is a huge favorite. And I have one for my dog who passed away that is special to me.

I also love my TARDIS and dalek ornaments. It's hard to pick a favorite!!

[CapnChan]

Thanks for responses you two! Sorry about any confusion on my end, I guess I was  just a bit overexcited :p I understand the rules now in full.

[ladybastilla]

Just checked out CapnChan's link -- wow, even more beautiful pony ornaments.

I know that several people have done pet ornaments in past swaps from looking back, so here's a question that may save someone some trouble once we get going...

Is there a pet(s) you would like to have an ornament made of?

If I get matched with someone who wants to do a pet ornament, I'd love one of my Shih Tzu, Coco. I will attach some pictures of him to my main post for the swap so they can easily be found.

Is there a pet(s) you would like to have an ornament made of?

For this question, I would say my long lost baby girl who pasted away in 2013 here's her picture...

She was a beautiful girl. We don't have any pets at the moment and I had never thought of posting a picture of Scully, who was our dear old girl that also past away in 2013. I would love an ornament dedicated to her

Edit: Here is a photo

Dog toys or bisciuts for my dog.[/b] i love my dog and spoil her with toys. she can have some biscuits regularly, but most richer treats she gets once or twice a week. (example beggin strips) trying to switch her to more natural treats, which can be expensive so i don't expect any of those. she love the milk bone minis.

How do you feel about Halloween candy? so k with me
Is your tree a full sized tree or a mini tree? mini or midsize. but the ornament(s) i get will probably hang on my wall or on a shelf all year
Regarding hand-made items: how would you feel about receiving a gift or two that was purchased on Etsy? i'm ok with etsy. i just ask. no pink please.
Would you like to link to any social media so we can get a better idea what you are like/pics of pets, etc (you of course do not have to do this if you feel uncomfortable doing so).

[Princess Lala]

Her eyes are actually pink, not red, which is so adorable! She acts like a silly little princess. When out in public she behaves sitting on my lap and walking with me all elegantly at the park but at home she bounces off everything LOL!

If I get matched with someone who wants to do a pet ornament, I'd love one of my Shih Tzu, Coco. I will attach some pictures of him to my main post for the swap so they can easily be found.

I probably mostly covered this question in my post where I mention my pets a lot, but yes, I'd love ornaments of any of them! Which leads me to my question:

Do you have a link to share of a site where you have pictures of your collections, tree, pets, or anything else you want us to see (something like Instagram or Flickr)?

I have an instagram, linked in my signature, and you can see lots and lots of pictures of my pets, my collections, and other interests there.
