Welcome to the 2nd OT Sticker swap!
I had a lot of fun hosting the sticker swap last year, so I thought I would try and make this a yearly thing.
If you were in the 2012 OT Sticker swap I would love to have you back. I'd like to expand this year in a few ways but otherwise it will work the same as last year.

So it's pretty obvious what this swap is all about. :p But there are a few things I should clear up. This is an OFF TOPIC swap. That doesn't mean NO my little ponies, but just know it is not the main focus of this swap. If your partner lists them as a like then you're more then welcome to include them, but some people may wish to have NO pony themes. Please respect your partners wishes. The only theme of this swap is stickers! The rest is up to your application. The secret phrase is Scratch n Sniff. This is a secret partner swap so please DO NOT reveal to your partner who you are! If you have any direct questions for your partner you can ask through me, you can also ask indirect questions in the forum topic. Please take your time when shopping, you have a month to shop for stickers, and I will not be giving shipping information until the date listed below, unless there is a reason you may need to ship early.

Rules and Requirements:
~You need to be at least 16 years old
~have at least 3 positive feedback (Ebay can count for 1)
~have been an arena member for 3 months
~your partner will be a surprise so don't tell them who you are!
~minimum spending $20 this does not count towards shipping or extras.
~stickers should either be new unopened or individual unused sheets
~opened stickers should be unused sheets these would count as $1-1.50 each of the minimum price.
~opened stickers that are cut up, would be counted as extras, and not part of the above spending minimum.
~hand made stickers are counted as extras.
~non sticker extras are welcome but shouldn't be the focus and are also not counted in the spending price.
~shipping is also not counted in the spending price.
~Leave feedback once you get your package! ill be enforcing this.

Extra information:
I understand that LIFE happens and its not always convenient. Please contact me ASAP if you cant complete this swap, So that I can make arrangements for all swap people involved. Remember there are 3 people involved for every swap member. you, the person you're sending to and the person sending to you. Also because this is a smaller swap, it might be harder for me to avoid paring up international shipping, if you absolutely don't think you can ship international then ill do my best.

Important Dates:
Sign up: Feb 1st - Feb 23rd
Arranging and assigning partners: Feb 23rd - Feb 28th (wont take this long)
Start Shopping: March 1st or as soon as you get your partner
Check in w/photo: week of March 17th (✓)
Start Shipping: March 24th (this is when i send you shipping info)
Shipping deadline: April 30th (please plan if shipping internationally)
Left Feedback for partner: marked with +

Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: Eternia on January 31, 2013, 08:55:50 AM
oh man, I so want to do this but $20 minimum for stickers? :o
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: melodys_angel on January 31, 2013, 09:07:34 AM
Goodluck :)

I do want to point out that in some countries, new stickers are more then $1.50.  Sheets around here can cost up to $3 each ;)
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: True on January 31, 2013, 09:30:01 AM
the 1.50 price is for opened stickers no longer in package/individual open sheets, things you've probably had and forgotten the price of. of course its impossible to set a price for stickers because they very so drastically. in the end its kinda up to the person putting the package together. Personally I buy a lot of sticker packs, which come with 2-3 sheets (usually a minimum) and they cost about $2 - $2.50. of course those are just normal stickers, things like scrap booking, 3D, etc things are usually more.

which brings me to the $20 limit, which is really only $5 more then what it was last year. this is meant to be a bigger swap for big sticker collectors or people who want to get a lot of stickers. :p I suppose if a lot of people want to bring it back down to $15 i would, but personally I like this range better.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: tulagirl on January 31, 2013, 09:32:06 AM
Oh no this is the right range for sure True.  My sticker wanted list is all Japanese and they are usually about 3.50 a sheet.

How funny.. a couple nights ago I was looking through my stickers and thought of this swap, wondering if it would happen again. Not sure if I can do it though. I guess I have a little bit of time to see how my funds hold up. :)

This would be a cool swap to join. Thing is, I love stickers but have nothing to use them on.....
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: tulagirl on February 01, 2013, 07:23:04 AM
Dazzle, I use my stickers for mail, swap packages including the wrapped gifts. I like to decorate those with stickers. I use them for shipping boxes, gifts for friends.  I love to load down my letters to friends with stickers.  We also put stickers on our calendars for special events, decorate objects with them. My mother uses them on her plastic eye glasses cases.  I also decorate my plastic bins full of toys with them.  Any time we give a gift bag we like to buy the plain ones and decorate them with special stickers.  The possibilities are endless with stickers.  When my nieces come over they usually enjoy them as well.  I have a huge box full of stickers and they are all organized by type.  I was a teacher though and stickers are just all part of the teaching experience when it comes to the little kids.

If anyone who took part in last years swap, or is joining this year, wants to post pictures either of your collection or a swap brag from last year. That might be a fun way to get this moving. ^^

part of my brag from the stickers Sweetscoops sent me last year.

I am so joining this.  I recently told my mom, when I got the big MLP sticker book, that "I want to sticker the world!"  She just looked at me like I grew another head.  It's all good.  :lol:

^O^ I love stickers. I think they are the best thing in the world to collect, cuz they are so easy to store ~ and so cute ~

u__u~ Unfortunately most of my stickers I like are just loose sticker flakes (and occasionally some sheets, but only really Japanese / Korean brands). Last time I did a private swap around the same time as the sticker swap and it was pretty great.

gyah. So tempting though.. I guess I'll think about it.

I've actually used them in swap packages too, but I don't do enough swaps to use them all up. :P   When I was a little girl I used to decorate my plastic bins with stickers too.
Sadly, the days of snail mail are very much so done for me, otherwise stickers with them would be very useful.
The conclusion I came to is, as much as I think stickers are super awesome, I don't think I use them enough to justify this swap.  I hope the rest of you all have lots of fun, however! :D

I adore the Japanese stickers too.  I can't read the Japanese writing so I have no idea what brands are what but the sticker art from Japan is to die for adorable. Love it. I just know the characters I love. I am certain there are probably many I still don't know about too.

ROFL those were the first stickers I noticed too, Marigold better keep track of her stickers because they might go missing some day *Points at Tula* she took them not me!
hehe anyway, I recently tried to sort out A box of stickers... it turned into a big mess and after sitting on my work counter for 3 days I decided to just put them back in the box because I needed to do laundry xD. heres some pics.
(these are my unsorted from last year T.T I'm not obsessed i swear)

OK seriously don't tell everyone what I took...I am trying to get away with those stickers before she notices. :whistle: (wink) ROFLOL

True, I have more than you....please don't ask me to prove it.  Taking it all out and putting it back up again will give me fits. I have all my stickers organized by theme and then they are in these envelopes..big ones.  I even have temporary tattoo collection with them lol. OMGoodness I want that little Panda sticker in the middle!!  Is that a puffy? So adorable. :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

Tula, you should show us!  Then we can drool over your stickers!

Vampiress,  do you collect patches too? I see what I think is one.

The nesting dolls are really cute in person.  I really like Russian nesting dolls in general, so I had to have some stickers.   *hides them from Vampiress*

I have a variety of stickers, not just the kawaii kind, but these are the only ones I have out right now.  The rest are in books.  Tula you sound like you have way more than me, but I so want to see the massive stickery piles. 

You are all going to be fun shopping for!

Post by: True on February 05, 2013, 02:39:40 PM
rofl tula these are only what i collected last year T.T iv got boxes and boxes of stickers that are already sorted. (my friends think im crazy) you might recognize a LOT of them that you sent me in our private swap last year haha. also iv been looking at them for like 10 minutes and I cannot find the panda sticker you're talking about. LOL

edit: OMG i found it haha this is like playing Ispy ROFL yes he is sort of puffy, i got those 3 sheets from Sweden maybe? im not real sure, it was someone here at the arena but i cant remember >.< the frogs that are kinda hiding remind me of the keroppi frog haha i love them.

Marigold I do sort of collect vintage patches, but there are none in these pictures :p, what you might be seeing are the Boyscout stickers? they are layered/3D paper xD I got them because im a co-leader of my sons troop and we do make scrap book pages for the bigger events haha.

OK well I might take photos.....

Hey I have a question...say we want to get Sandylion stickers for someone? Those never came in packages that I know of they were on rolls and come per sheet...like one or two stickers per sheet...does that mean those can only be extras?
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: True on February 05, 2013, 03:18:43 PM
since they would be new, (probably/at least unused) id probably just say try and factor that price in with everything else. its really hard to price stickers these days. the "extras" category i was thinking more for things that are partial or cut apart, because i know a lot of people prefer not to have random bits of stickers floating around lol.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: tulagirl on February 05, 2013, 03:30:19 PM
Oh yea the cut up ones...Ok I see what you mean.  Yea I have tons of those random stickers and what I did was just make theme envelopes so they are ready for me when I need a sticker like say, "moon".  If I have a cut sticker of a moon...it will be in there.

At least we have three sets of two so far.  :D

I used to collect stickers when I was younger. Now I use them in my journal and date book to mark special events, or just to brighten things up. I also put them on my bicycle. The don't make a MLP bike that I can ride, so I just made it myself! I sent in  my info; can't wait to get shopping!

True there are so many swaps going on and we just got through with the really expensive Advent swap and the Christmas swaps. I was thinking wasn't this one was done in April last year?  Why do I have that month in my head?  I may be wrong but I thought it was April.  Right now lots of people are in other swaps and trying to overcome the Christmas swap costs. Me, I was in all that but can't miss a sticker swap lol.  Then there is that whole issue of new people wanting to be in the swap and can't because they don't have enough feedback.  Then the horrible thought that someone doesn't like stickers .... :shocked:

Shoot we have not even started yet and I am having fun.  I am ready to start shopping.  Especially since I have no car now that my husband's car is in the shop with a 3000.00 price tag for transmission repair.  I belong in a swap to counteract the stress in my life.  ;)

I don't think it matters much how many people sign up. I was in a swap once with only 3 people and it was loads of fun.  We have a nice group and I am sure since we have all of this month left many might be joining at the last minute as thats what folks do a lot..they like to wait and see what their funds are like or their time...

I was telling one of my coworkers about doing this swap and he was excited.  Then I told him he'd have to join the pony board and he's all "maybe not, too much work" but he loves his stickers.  :biggrin:

Good luck finding your stickers Marigold.  I have misplaced so many things and I have no idea at all where they went.  Its very frustrating indeed.

yes extras are awesome! just remember they are not part of the "price limit." im kinda kicking myself because i remembered AFTER i got like 3 applications xD that i forgot to add "favorite treat" onto the app -_- but i guess we can figure that out with non direct questions in the forum xD or i dont mind asking people for there partners haha.

Maybe we could put the question on the application form for any future applicants and we could send you a message with the answer to that one question to you separately?  Unless that becomes too confusing to you, in which case we'll just have to work it out later, as you said.

Hiya guys!
So I saw this thread and thought 'omg, I must join this swap!!' cause I just looove stickers lol  :P
Actually I couldn't wait and already went shopping for some cute stickers xD although I have no idea who my partner will be yet, but if these aren't to their liking then no worries, I'll just keep 'em myself xD Funny thing, I found stickers that were exactly the same as some sheets I bought as a kid, like 12 years ago, and even the prices were identical, wow. The nostalgia...
Collecting stickers is serious business, hahah... anyway, I'm very excited to join this awesome swap!  XD
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: True on February 14, 2013, 05:03:35 AM
xD thats the great thing about this swap, you can shop early, and if it turns out your partner isnt into that kinda thing, it just means more stickers for you!

I admit I picked up some stickers but I am not sure if my partner will want the ones I picked.  It doesn't matter because I will just add them to the box of stickers I already have lol.  It was a good excuse to buy 5 packages of stickers.  When I was a kid stickers were only .75.  You got 4 sheets for only .75.  I use to save my allowance and buy them.  Stickers will never go back to the price they were when I was kid. Sigh....

I do want to point out that in some countries, new stickers are more then $1.50.  Sheets around here can cost up to $3 each ;)
Could be even more, as much as $4  :P But I've noticed that the prices can really vary, one sheet could be anything from $1 upwards. (now of course we use € here but converted to $ for convenience sake ;D) So definitely possible to gather a bunch of nice stickies for 20$ I would think.
Aaaah still another week before partners are assigned... so impatient xD

Oh and btw, a bunch of japanese stickers I ordered came in the mail today... and they're totally ridiculously adorable!! aaagh dying of cute right now!! x3

tulagirl: totally agree! everyone should get some japanese stickers!! ;D too bad they're not widely available though, at least not here so almost always need to buy them online (got mine from a lovely japanese seller on etsy, you should take a look :D)
but damn it's difficult to just choose a few, I want them aaaalll (my bank account disagrees, though)

OOOOOH YEAH!  I found little Lego toadstools in a set my husband has, and they were just DARLING.

I have to make time for a second trip to one of my absolute favorite stationery stores in town, but it takes my entire lunch hour to do so.  I need to find more little kiosk shops downtown that sell stickers.  I'm likely to include "local" stickers if I can find them, with our landmarks or flag or whatever...

Oh hey, what kind of extra goodies do you guys usually like to include? Like sweets or some (non-edible) stuff, or what? :)
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~

For extras it really depends on my partner's interests.  I usually include two or three items with this swap and things that will fit in a mailer and ship without damage in a mailer.

I am totally into all this too. Especially the sheeps.  And I like llamas which sort of fit in the same category. I didn't really put this in my list.  I think I listed mostly sea life but I'd love more non-sea life things since I have so much.

As for extras just throw a bunch of tootsie rolls in and I'd be happy.  Or anything really. I like hand made cards or art too.

All I have is my tablet and I cant upload photos from my tablet to photobucket.  I have no idea if they will replace the computer and when as its covered by warranty.  I may have no way to picture brag unless someone knows how I can get photos on a picture site other than facebook and twitter.

Can you email in your tablet?

Post Merge: February 18, 2013, 11:50:11 AM

Because there is a way to send a photo from your mobile device in an email that uploads it onto photobucket.  You just have to find your photobucket "send to" email that you would use. It's not eat to find but I figured mine out by doing some searching.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~

Ok I can email a photo from my tablet.  Perhaps I can email it to a swap member and they can post it for me if I don't figure out the pb thing. Thank you for this idea.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: True on February 18, 2013, 02:05:38 PM
not sure which tablet you have, I have an iPad and im able to use photobucket (rather clumsily) xD the best app i could find is still horrible... I can also directly email photos if you're in the photo viewer/album theres a square with an arrow coming out of it xD but that's iOS, im not sure if its like that on other tablets.

If you want to email them to me I don't mind hosting images on my photobucket.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: Marigold on February 18, 2013, 02:10:16 PM
Here is how I found it:
Log in to your Photobucket account.
Click on your username and then User Settings, then navigate to the Mobile tab.
Copy the address in the Upload from email panel. This address never changes.

It will look like this:   [email protected]

You can email photos to that and it shows up in either your main album or the mobile album. You can text photos to it too with the same results but my phone is picky and only works when i email it if that makes sense.

Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: Marigold on February 18, 2013, 03:45:49 PM
I usually click on the photo and then have to open up the url image link box to the right. It's a drop down menu.  They made things more hidden with this new setup and its not as easy to see things.

Or I sign into it in here. For me it shows up under the reply area when I send a reply (not a quick reply).

Does that help?
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~
Post by: tulagirl on February 18, 2013, 04:03:43 PM
No I cant find this menu..the menu button I have takes me away from the photo.

Well I found the menu, but the links don't work with the img command. I just get an x when I try. Then I noticed the pic below but I cant figure out how to get it in my post. I click on it but nothing happens.

i wish i knew how to help more D:
if you do decide you want to email them, just shoot me a pm xD I dont usually check my email everyday unless i have reason. like i said i really dont mind hosting images if there is no other way.

You have to select all and copy the link.  Click on the picture you want then look below at the link which you copy then paste in the message. A bit cumbersome but It should work.



Ah you figured it out?  Sorry I couldn't write sooner. I had to go out for a while.

I sure hope that I do not have to do any online shopping, because I have no idea when I will have a computer again. If I have to do all of my shopping online, I maybe running a little behind. Sorry about that I had no idea my computer I was going to fall apart like it did.I thought I was going to get it back today and then learned that they have to do a lot more work on it. They are basically rebuilding the entire computer.

I am using a microphone in my tablet to type but sometimes it can't figure out the difference between 2 words that sound the same.so ignore my grammatical errors, I'm still learning how to use my tablet. What fun it is. I can't wait to start shopping for my partner. Swaps are so much fun and take my mind off of things.

Sounds good to me!!  :biggrin:

I'm game!

:p

I've never been a fan of living here.  Moved here from Michigan, and the traffic, heat, and crowds never really set well with me, but my goodness it's a sticker paradise out here!  I also know at least 4 places to get my hands on some Japanese stickers:p  It's just a cornucopia of stickers! 

There are some times that living in Southern California has its benefits.  I didn't realize sticker hunting was one of those times:p

I'm ready to go!  I can't wait to get my partner!

i live in tc mich -_- this place is basically a tourist town all year (beaches in the summer, skiing in the winter) all the good stores that I like tend to not be so popular xD so they get ripped down and a new fancy restaurant or hotel or department store gets put there instead xD we only have 2.5 craft stores right now haha

I've been to Traverse City.  It's a really nice place!  Lots of cherries:p  I love places like that!

I mostly grew up in Detroit.   I don't miss the snow, but  I do miss not having to worry about getting heat stroke driving to the grocery store in November:p 

And I am loving the sticker access right now.  When I lived in Indiana waaaay back I used to go to a similar store that sold stickers and other little goodies(stuffed animals, pencils, novelty erasers, etc), but that was at the peak of the sticker craze.  I haven't seen many stores like it since.  I'm probably going to have to pick up a few things for myself when I go.  You know, to support the local economy:p

haha iv lived here my whole life xD its so obsessed with cherries, like probably a little too obsessed. i swear if it can be cooked, someone has added cherries to it. (doesnt always work out). if you can print a cherry on it, its been done... sometimes im starting to wonder if i only like cherries because i see them around me constantly!

I'm so down Vampiress! Stickers was the first artsy things I used to collect as a kid. That reminds me.. Does anyone remember Sandy Lion stickers? They came out with scratch n sniff ones, hologram...furry ones and so much more! Realized the other month that they stopped making them sometime ago. D: I fell off from collecting and just started back up again and was really hoping to order or find some at the craft stores. Not down with those Ebay prices either.  :mad:

Well since this is the last day for sign ups, I'm going to go ahead and start the qestions off right now xD, especially since I forgot to add this to the application.


SO What is everyones favorite treat or type of candy, also along with this, what are your favorite flavors.
(highlighting your questions with color makes them easier for us to find)

Mine is gummy candies, im not picky on flavors there.
salt water taffy, any fruit flavor is fine
jelly bellys, pear flavor (my son loves orange crush xD)
I also occasionally like hard candies, cherry flavor is my favorite.

Also cant believe I forgot this, but please mention if you have any allergies you want us aware of

I have none
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~ 1 more day!
Post by: Emberfly on February 23, 2013, 08:02:19 PM
Favorite treat or type of candy, what are your favorite flavors.
Gummies (any flavour), gummy bears, wine gums, sour soothers, I like them all. :D
Chocolate (milk is preferred) can have stuff mixed in, nuts etc.
Don't generally care for hard candies
I really dislike the taste of black licorice and the candied fruits found in fruit cake

Any allergies you want us aware of
Jelly Bellies (I'm sure it's just some flavours but, as I'm not about to start to test them all, I just avoid them totally :) )
Not sure if it pertains, but perfume and other scented products (but I still love scratch n sniff stickers, they're different)

1. Would you like to see some MLP stickers in your swap?
Sure

2. Do you celebrate Easter/spring? As in Easter baskets, chicks, bunnies, colorful grass and all that cute fluffy stuff?
Absolutely!  I do Easter for the fun bunnies and such as well as for the religious significance.

3. Do you like MLP FIM? If so, is there anything you are looking for in particular or on your wishlist?
I just watched the first season that I got from Amazon and it's cute.  The ponies look cute so I'd be ok with some things that are related to the FIM ponies, stationary, bookmarks etc.  I'm not collecting anymore so actual ponies would be wasted on me.

4. Favorite MLP Characters:
Firefly, Glory and any from the first 2-3 years are loved.  Of the new ones I like Celestia most, I think, and Applejack the least (visually speaking, not character-wise) but generally I do like all of them.

5. Do you like plush/stuffed animals?
Love them!  Any kind other than gross, creepy stuff or bugs.

6. Anything else you are in to?
I love cute things, specific interests are Star Trek, Stargate, Dr Who, Bunnies, cute animals.  I like lots of things, not sure what else to add.  I really dislike creepy, gory things like bugs and zombies etc.  I do like mythical creatures and sci-fi and fantasy.  I like space themes.

7. Favorite color?
pink, yellow, green.  I like lots of colours as long as they're happy ones.  I generally dislike orange and brown, though they do have their uses and can be made to look really nice.

If I have holiday themed stickers that fits one of your interest would you be okay with that even if we are past the holiday?
Sure!

Do you enjoy fun printed socks?
Yup but I have small feet so I take a larger children's size.  I'm a US ladies size 5.5 foot, a US child's size 4 is usually where I land.

What animal groups do you love if you are into animals?  Do you like getting animal items for extras like figures or other fun items?
Love animals.  I like bunnies the most, but anything cute such as baby animals.  I like horses and unicorns, otters and cats and dogs, ferrets can be really cute, pretty birds, hampsters, guinea pigs, cows, llamas and alpacas.  I could go on.

I generally don't care for monkeys though.  No bugs or spiders, or even snakes unless they're super cutified.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE CHARACTERS? TV, movies, Disney, etc..
Probably too many to mention.  Star Trek, Dr Who, The Avengers and Iron Man, Mickey Mouse (not Minnie too much), Lion King, most of the disney stuff I generally like.  Smurfs.  The list is really too long to write.

Souvenirs?
Sure, I love postcards and floaty pens especially.

do you like canvas tote bags with some cute pattern or design?
Absolutely, always using tote bags and most are of the canvas variety though many have seen better days.

Do you like Deco tape?
Probably not, I doubt I'll use it.

DO you have any fuzzie buddies aka Pets?
My only buddy is Betta fish named Horatio

If you are a fan of MLP FIM, do you like the trading cards and/or blind bags?
Not particularly, although, I would like a Celestia.

Do you like legos/megablocks/knex? such as the blindbag, minifigures, or small kits, or perticular items/themes?
No, not really.  I do have the lego watches, though and like them.  My philosophy is it's better if it's useful and pertains to my collections.

Are you interested in surprise stickers I choose because I like them?  Or are you mostly interested in the stickers on your list?
Yes, absolutely!  I like so many things that I know I didn't mention them all, and I'm not much of a connoisseur of stickers so introduce me to some or share your faves and, as long as it doesn't have my dislikes, I'll be thrilled.

How do you feel about vintage stickers? Scratch n' sniff, oily color swirl (don't know their real name), 80's cartoon themes?
Love the scratch n sniff, vintage and, really any kind of sticker.  I don't recall the oily ones from my childhood but they look neat.  LOVE the 80's cartoons!

Do you use/have/own a cell phone?
Yes, it's not a smartphone but it's pink!

Do you listen to music on a MP3 player?
I do but not very often.  I have a Samsung Galaxy Player that I use more as a mini tablet than the mp3 player that it is.  Love my solitaire at night and last minute email checks in bed.  :)

Do you collect anything besides ponies?
I actually am not actively collecting ponies any more.  As for what else I collect, please see my Random Swap link in my sig.

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras?
I'm good with anything.  Candy, hair barrettes, cute pens, I would really like floaty pens, postcards from where you're from and those little self stampers like these:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting?
Yes, as long as they're really cute, pretty or just plain interesting.

Do you have any hobbies?
I do cross stitch and watch tv, that's about it.  I'm also obsessed with kakuro puzzles.

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?
Not really, thanks, I have too much already.

Do you drink TEA!  Yes, no, allergic to certain kinds?
I do, but not all the time.  I'm not allergic to any.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~ 1 more day!
Post by: Marigold on February 23, 2013, 08:14:15 PM

Licorice hard candy, black currant candy, licorice black currant hard candy, cinnamon imperials/red hots, swedish fish, peeps, hazelnut chocolates, marzipan, Cadbury eggs, caramel Cadbury eggs.Tootsie rolls

Also cant believe I forgot this, but please mention if you have any allergies you want us aware of

Peppermint and other mints, smoke, perfumes, strong scents (scented stickers are okay).

Would you like to see some MLP stickers in your swap?
No, unless they are vintage G1 stickers.

Do you celebrate Easter/spring? As in Easter baskets, chicks, bunnies, colorful grass and all that cute fluffy stuff? I do and I love all that stuff!  Colorful shiny grass, Chicks, bunnies, lambs, eggs.  I love and collect painted eggs.

Do you like MLP FIM? If so, is there anything you are looking for in particular or on your wishlist I'm only looking for a few G4 brushables: Ploomette without wings, Rainbow Flash, prototypes.  I don't want anything else.

Favorite MLP Characters:
Rapunzel, Goldilocks, and Sugarberry

Do you like plush/stuffed animals?
I don't really want any, although I like small peep plushies. 

Anything else you are in to?  
Herkimer diamonds, tiny cuttlefish figures, soot sprites

Favorite color? Orange

If I have holiday themed stickers that fits one of your interest would you be okay with that even if we are past the holiday?
If they are really cute sure!

do you enjoy fun printed socks?
No thank you.

What animal groups do you love if you are into animals?  Do you like getting animal items for extras like figures or other fun items?

My favorite animals are: pufferfish, luna moths, cuttlefish, mola mola, nudibranchs/sea slugs, lettered olives, cats, moths, triggerfish, squid, song birds (favorites are red winged blackbirds, yellow rumped warblers, wrens), finches (they chatter back at you), sand pipers, quail, turkeys (yay turkeys!), clams, scallops, snails, trout, leaf fish, dachshunds, owls...I am sure I am missing other favorites.  I like snakes, but I don't want stickers or figures of them unless they are super cute. 


I like animal related things especially if they are small figures.  The smaller the better.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE CHARACTERS? TV, movies, Disney, etc..
I don't want stickers from any of my favorite characters, but I do like Rapunzel.  Any Rapunzel from anything, not just Disney's Tangled.  In fact I prefer non-Disney Rapunzels. 

I ADORE soot sprites.  I'd take stickers, or keychains, or really anything with them.  I don't have much with them right now, so anything you find would be amazing.

Oh I love Whisper the Unicorn!!

Do you like Deco tape?
I never use it.

DO you have any fuzzie buddies aka Pets?
I have a cat.

If you are a fan of MLP FIM, do you like the trading cards and/or blind bags?
I am only looking for the Tealove Wave of blind bags.  Not into the cards.

Do you like legos/megablocks/knex? No thank you.

what games and characters from those games do you LOVE like, if you have any, your MOST favorites?  I'm not much of a gamer.

Are you interested in surprise stickers I choose because I like them?  Or are you mostly interested in the stickers on your list?
I like surprises.

How do you feel about vintage stickers? Scratch n' sniff, oily color swirl (don't know their real name), 80's cartoon themes?
I really love vintage 80's stickers.  Whisper the Unicorn is a favorite.  Anything from back then is a good idea!  Even some of the old "girly" cartoons. 

Do you collect anything besides ponies? You can see my Random Swap list here:
http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,320581.msg599556.html#msg599556

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras? 
If you are overseas I like candy and stuff you can't get here.  I apparently love licorice Altoids.  Anything from my random swap list.  Re-ment is cool.   Anything you think is a good idea is fine with me. 

Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting?Kawaii would be really cool!  I don't really want the Hello Kitty line so much because I have it but other stuff is good.  I like stationary a lot.  I don't really need any pens or pencils unless they are so cute you can't resist or if they have special colors. 

Do you have any hobbies?  I sing, dance, draw, and I like being out in nature.

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box? I'm occasionally crafty but I don't know what I want/need until the bug catches me so I wouldn't need any craft supplies.


Do you drink tea?  I do, but you have to be very careful that it has nothing from the mint family in it.  Licorice tea and chai are favorites.

ok well its technically the 24th for me xD but im going to keep this open until i wake up tomorrow to hopefully accommodate other time zones. and then I will start setting the partners. Right now im just organizing it by shipping preferences.

i just realized I never even filled out my own app... so ill be doing that too xD omg...

also im not sure what the best way is for questions... maybe new questions should be in color, when you repost a question maybe its just bold/black? let me know if you have a better idea lol, i just realized with everyone reposting the same question in the same color it kinda looks like a bunch of new questions. xD please suggest something if you have a better method!
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~ 1 more day!

Oh!  So post NEW questions in green and our answers to questions in Black bold?
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Sign Up!~ 1 more day!
Post by: True on February 23, 2013, 09:38:40 PM
well just "color" or we could all do green, i dunno i didnt really mean to pick just one color, its up to you xD

so it could look something like this maybe:

New question blah blah blah?
answer

and if you're reposting a question to answer then:

copied question number 1....?
your answer

copied question number 2....?
Your answer..

etc..

i mean if that works for everyone else, like i said im not sure if thats the best way to go about it?
i usually just tend to stalk the thread for my own partners answers and then i copy them all into my cell phone so i have a list of things for when i go shopping haha.

How does this work? are we shipping directly to a partner or do we ship them to you along with postage and you ship them out? The sticker swaps on the MLP Trading Post - everyone sent a bunch of stickers to Kar Red Roses along with $3 or so for shipping and then she divided them up and sent out the packages. The weren't whole sheets. She broke them up into smaller ones.



yes you will be shipping directly to a partner

 this is different then the TP swap. the only person sending me stickers will be my partner. this swap works like most swaps around here. everyone will get one partner to shop for, and you will send your $20 worth of stickers and whatever extras you've picked for them to that person. This is also a secret swap so dont reveal yourself to your partner, DO make sure you leave a note in your package so when your partner receives the package they know who you are.

I do it this way because 1. i think the less stops along the way, the less something can go wrong. example, you sending to me, me sending to someone else.
2. I think shopping for one person instead of a group is easier, and i also dont have to sort out a bunch of stickers and mail them out to someone.
3. EXTRAS! xD everyone loves the personal fun touches extra goodies bring to a swap.
4. sort of a last bit, if everyone was sending to me, and if this was similar to what i was told the TP sticker swap was done, it invovled cutting stickers up. (im not a member of TP so i cant be sure, these are just things that came up last year when i was setting this up) but personally, and i believe some people agree with me,  i prefer sheets of stickers over randomly cut up stickers.

I will start arranging partners tomorrow (when I wake up) in case we have any last minute applicants.

the questions in the forum topic are meant to help us get more clues as to what sort of things, stickers or extras, our partners would be interested in. Make sure you dont ask a question directly to your partner.

ok hmm long post xD but if anyone still has questions let me know :p

edits: Tiki those are flakes :D or more specifically kawaii flakes :p

I so agree, I really like the personal aspect of this swap so much better.  This way our partner gets the stickers on their wanted list and personal extra touches added to their box.  Its very special and fun, not to mention so much nicer to receive what is on your wanted list in sheet form...or sticker flake form.


@ Tickibirds:

Yea those are Japanese Kawaii Sticker flakes and they are made by many companies really.  There are many sticker flakes circulating around, but most often when it comes to true Japanese flakes, they will have Kawaii in their title.  Thats not the name brand, its an adjective they use for their "cute" products.


Post Merge: February 24, 2013, 07:10:14 AM

Oh and when it comes to quesitons, what we did in the advent swap was we just kept updating one post in the thread with the quesitons and our answers, so we didn't have to hunt for the answers among many pages.  Its so much better to have all the quesitons asked and answered in one place per swap member.  The only thing is, this swap is not as extensive as the advent swap was...I still like the idea though.  So a question is posted and you cut and paste it in your answers post rather than randomly answering it on the thread. :)

Post by: Marigold on February 24, 2013, 09:31:07 AM
I'm weird, I've found I do like Kawaii sticker flakes when it is a loose lot of random mixture, but I don't like the packs that are a theme. Does that make sense? 


1. Would you like to see some MLP stickers in your swap?  Not really.  Unless it is vintage G1 or G2 ones. No G3s or G4s please.

2. Do you celebrate Easter/spring? As in Easter baskets, chicks, bunnies, colorful grass and all that cute fluffy stuff?    I do and I like very much!  All of it.  Pretty much just like Tula below me described.

3. Do you like MLP FIM? If so, is there anything you are looking for in particular or on your wishlist? . I'm not looking for anything. Except wingless Ploomette and prototypes.

4. Favorite MLP Characters:. Rapunzel, Sugarberry, Goldilocks.

5. Do you like plush/stuffed animals?. Not looking for any but I do love small plushie peeps.

6. Anything else you are in to?. Art.  I love people's hand made drawings. Even if you think it is no good I will probably love it.  Eggs.  I like hand painted wood or glass or stone or whatever eggs. I keep stopping myself from buying them at World Market because each time I go I see another I like.

7. Favorite color? Orange.  But I also like pastels, plum, pinks, gold and ivory.

1.  Would you like to see some MLP stickers in your swap?  

No, not at this time

2. Do you celebrate Easter/spring? As in Easter baskets, chicks, bunnies, colorful grass and all that cute fluffy stuff?

I celebrate Easter and I loooooove Easter baskets, chicks, bunnies, colorful grass and especially little lambs!!!  I like Easter eggs also.  I love mushrooms and little garden gnomes and cute springy flowers and rainbows and love the religious part of this holiday as I am Christian.

3. Do you like MLP FIM? If so, is there anything you are looking for in particular or on your wishlist?  

No, not at this time

4. Favorite MLP Characters:

TAF Yum Yum, TAF Munchy, Gusty, Lofty, All Sea Ponies, Baby Princess Sparkle, Baby Hopscotch and Heart Throb, Parasol, Wizzer and all the TE's

5. Do you like plush/stuffed animals?

Yes I really do love soft plush animals, I especially like Kawaii Plush Characters

6. Anything else you are in to?

I just wanted to mention, if you click the globe on my profile it will take you to every single wanted list I have, my swap information and that will give you a really nice picture of what I love.  The first page will be G1 ponies, but if you look to the right the other lists are there for you to click on. Here are a few things listed on those pages:

Charmkins (I have the pony), Seawees, Mini Lalaloopsy dolls, squinkies, LPS blind bags, Re-Mint, Panda stuff especially kawaii panda, lamb or sheep related things, anything kawaii

Here is a direct link just look to the right for all my lists...it will tell you a lot about what I collect and the swap information page contains lots of good information too:

http://tulatulip.wordpress.com/2012/11/17/tulagirls-mlp-wanted-list/

7. Favorite color?

I love bright colors: Aqua, pink, purple, yellow and green

If I have holiday themed stickers that fits one of your interest would you be okay with that even if we are past the holiday?

For me, I have tons of Holiday stickers and as much as I love them, I find them very limiting on how often I can use them. I would pass on these, but I also know that hearts are common on just so many stickers and that doesn't mean that the sticker is a Valentine sticker, but if it says Be Mine..well that just about screams Valentine's Day LOL.  No, for me....

Hey I have a question...do you enjoy fun printed socks?

For me, yes

Souvenirs?

I would say no to souvenirs. 

What animal groups do you love if you are into animals?  Do you like getting animal items for extras like figures or other fun items?

For me its: Pandas, Woodland animals especially owls, squirrels, foxes, rabbits, deer, racoons, and hedgehogs, Artic animals, especially penguines, seals and polar bears and other animals: Sloths, kola bears, butterflies, moths, dolphins, coral reef fish but NO SHARKS!!!  The Japanese chin is my favorite dog and the persian is my favorite cat.  I also love parakeets, finches and other wildlife birds.  I love Pegasus over unicorn.

I love getting things that pertain to my favorite animals, for figures I would rather go for something like Schleich over glass figures..I worry about breaking things and storing breakables.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE CHARACTERS? TV, movies, Disney, etc..

With respect to extras: Oh yes I am a huge Totoro fan, I love Ponyo and I adore little Pascal.  My other favorite is the cheshire cat in either Disney cartoon alice or Burton Alice.  Love them both very much.  I love Snoopy and woodstock and Peanuts Characters.  When I was a kid I had several snoopy outfits and still do have many outfits.  My husband is also quite fond of my snoopy outfits as he had them growing up. That brings back huge memories.  I am more fond of vintage snoopy, but I do like some of the modern things they have made.  Lamb Chop...she is so adorable!! I do not need any stickers from these though as I have plenty already..but they are all fine for extras.

What is your favorite candy?

Right now I really have to pass on all candy or edible treats...

Allergies?.

Cigarette smoke, mold, lotions or bath things, candles

do you like canvas tote bags with some cute pattern or design?

I love tote bags, but I can't use small ones.

Do you like Deco tape?

I only like the Shipping Tape size 1.88 inches x 15 Yards...and I have now changed my mind as I see the usefulness of the smaller tape as well. Its pretty neato.

DO you have any fuzzie buddies aka Pets?

A small dog and a cat, I would just like to add though that both of them can not have edible treats.

If you are a fan of MLP FIM, do you like the trading cards and/or blind bags?

I do not collect FIM anymore so I wouldn't want trading cards or blind bags.

Do you like legos/megablocks/knex? such as the blindbag, minifigures, or small kits, or perticular items/themes?Yes...I am especially  looking for the hippie lego mini fig...I like the LPS blind bags, Squinkie blind bags, I also love those little super magnets...that are little round balls, I have all the Hello Kitty Blind Bags, but I do not have all the Hello Kitty Around the USA trading cards..would love to complete my collection of those.

what games and characters from those games do you LOVE like, if you have any, your MOST favorites?
no favorite games

Are you interested in surprise stickers I choose because I like them?  Or are you mostly interested in the stickers on your list?

I am mainly interested on what is on my wanted list, however, if the extra surprise is in the Kawaii theme I am sure I will love it as long as it doesn't fit in my unwanted list. :)

How do you feel about vintage stickers? Scratch n' sniff, oily color swirl (don't know their real name), 80's cartoon themes?

I loooooooooove vintage 80's stickers.  I like Mello Smello larger stickers better than the round scratch and sniff. I like Illuminations stickers, I love Sandylion vintage stickers...I enjoy the vintage stickers a lot because I collected them during the 80's.  I can't find my original sticker collection so it is always nice to have a few in this group.  When it comes to 80's cartoons..really I only like the vintage cabbage patch doll stickers, vintage strawberry shortcake, vintage puffy MLP only, I also love vintage Wacky Pack stickers and cards


Do you collect anything besides ponies?
My partner can see everything I love and collect by clicking on the globe in my profile here on the arena.  It takes you to all my wanted lists and the menu is on the right side of the page.

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras?

I love Kawaii items like special japanese puzzle erasers, cell phone charms, kawaii plush, kawaii stationary and pens, kawaii key chains....anything kawaii I will love it..oh and panda themed stuff.  I also love charmkins...re-ment.


Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting?
Kawaii for this only...I have plenty of hello kitty though and don't need any hello kitty stickers or stationary

Do you have any hobbies?
Yes I sew, draw and glass bead jewelry making

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?
Sure I can always use wool felt.  I do not use regular felt though...it has to be wool felt.

Do you drink tea?

No

Speaking of Hello kitty - I am seeing alot of sticker designs with her and her friends (frog and black cat?) on it. YAY or NAY?

 I like Hello Kitty and have a huge collection but I do not want stickers of her at this time. I have hundreds of HK stickers already.

9. Hey I have a question...do you enjoy fun printed socks?Yes!  I love socks!

10.  I got one - YAY OR NAY to corny sovernirs like magnets, pens, postards?Hmmm... depends on how unique it is.  If it's a magnet with a name, that's boring.  If it's your mascot or a great joke, I love those!

11. What animal groups do you love if you are into animals?  Do you like getting animal items for extras like figures or other fun items?
I LOVE little figurines - my main collection is quickly becoming miniatures! I love all kinds of animals, from extra cute baby animals to horrifyingly ugly deep sea creatures.  It's always a bonus to have extra-cute grotesque things like chibi monsters or fuzzy bug stickers or whatever.  Or un-expected animals!  Finding an elephant is easy, finding a kinkajou - not so easy!

Besides the obvious MLP...  Lady Lovely Locks, Popples (esp. Pretty Bit), Hello Kitty and Daniel together, Sailormoon (esp Saturn, Nepture, Uranus, and Chibi-Usa), Disney's Figment (sooo sad about his retirement), and I love Disney's Princess and the Frog.

17. DO you have any fuzzie buddies aka Pets?I have a Maine Coon cat  - please make sure if you send a cat toy that it is really really sturdy.  He destroys them in minutes if they are not and little bitty pieces are intestinal hazards.

18.  If you are a fan of MLP FIM, do you like the trading cards and/or blind bags?
I am not a FIM fan.

19.If you do like blindbags/cards, is there any youre looking for?
Do you like legos/megablocks/knex? such as the blindbag, minifigures, or small kits, or perticular items/themes?
Nope...  blindbags are not my thing.

20.what games and characters from those games do you LOVE like, if you have any, your MOST favorites?
I dislike videogames - I prefer books!

21.Quesion: when one says they do not like puffy stickers - does this include all 3-D stickers or just the old skool puffy ones?I like both types!

Uh, sure I would love them but... I don't expect people to give up parts of their collection though.

Nope, I detest the stupid things

25.Do you listen to music on a MP3 player?

I looooooove stationery!  My box of it is almost bigger than my box of stickers!

29.Do you have any hobbies?   
I like to sew - both by hand and with the machine

30.Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?  I would love any sewing supplies - especially any tiny embroidery hoops that come in those kits

31. Do you drink TEA!  Yes, no, allergic to certain kinds...

Are you interested in surprise stickers I choose because I like them?  Or are you mostly interested in the stickers on your list?
yeah i know theres a lot of things i didnt remember to add to my list, im really not picky about stickers. like dainty said, so long as its not something on my do not want list, i probably wont mind. If i dont nessisarily love it, im sure i can use it for someone else who does, since im always decorating letters and boxes and things xD.


How do you feel about vintage stickers? Scratch n' sniff, oily color swirl (don't know their real name), 80's cartoon themes?
im fine with all of these

Do you use/have/own a cell phone?
yes but its a cheap little track phone by samsung xD 

Do you listen to music on a MP3 player?
not really, i tend to just listen to it on the computer or radio. Though i do need to get a mp3 player soon for the gym xD so maybe i will be in the future!


Do you collect anything besides ponies?
i collect little plushies/figurines of my favorite animals (tigers, llamas, goats, ram sheep, snails)

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras?
uh o_o probably anything? i dunno xD its early and i cant think, and im sure ill love whatever my partner picks out haha.

Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting?
yeeeess its so hard to find here for some reason >.< especially kawaii stuff.

Do you have any hobbies?
im sort of artsy/fartsy i do a little bit of everything. mostly painting but i love little crafts too lol

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?
hmm no thanks, I'm kinda picky about supplies >.<

Do you drink TEA!  Yes, no, allergic to certain kinds...
Sorry not a big tea drinker D:

Speaking of Hello kitty - I am seeing alot of sticker designs with her and her friends (frog and black cat?) on it. YAY or NAY?
im assuming you mean chococat and  Keroppi, i LOVE keroppi xD more then i love hello kitty, i love most of the other characters but keroppi is literally my favorite rofl.

I love deery lou too but I dont ever see much of them.

1. Would you like to see some MLP stickers in your swap?
Sure

2. Do you celebrate Easter/spring? As in Easter baskets, chicks, bunnies, colorful grass and all that cute fluffy stuff?
Absolutely :)

3. Do you like MLP FIM? If so, is there anything you are looking for in particular or on your wishlist?
Not really, I just ordered the first season from Amazon as I've never seen it.  The ponies look cute so I'd be ok with some things that are related to the FIM ponies.  I'm not collecting anymore so actual ponies would be wasted on me.

4. Favorite MLP Characters:
Firefly, Glory and any from the first 2-3 years are loved.

5. Do you like plush/stuffed animals?
Love them!

6. Anything else you are in to?
I love cute things, specific interests are Star Trek, Stargate, Dr Who, Bunnies, cute animals.  I like lots of things, not sure what else to add.  I really dislike creepy, gory things like bugs and zombies etc.

7. Favorite color?
pink, yellow, green.  I like lots of colours as long as they're happy ones.  I generally dislike orange and brown, though they do have their uses.

Oh, dear, I have alot of questions to catch up on...

SO What is everyones favorite treat or type of candy, also along with this, what are your favorite flavors.
Oo, tough choice but I like chocolate covered fruit. Raisins, oranges, and my weakness cherries. Hard candies I like cherry, strawberry, and orange the most.

Also cant believe I forgot this, but please mention if you have any allergies you want us aware of.
Nope

Would you like to see some MLP stickers in your swap?
I don't mind. Just not alot.

Do you celebrate Easter/spring? As in Easter baskets, chicks, bunnies, colorful grass and all that cute fluffy stuff?
Cute fluffy spring icons? Yes! Religious Easter icons? Very much no.

Do you like MLP FIM? If so, is there anything you are looking for in particular or on your wishlist?
I like FiM even tho I am a G1 girl. The one thing I adore about FiM is the charater Doctor Whooves. He is the coolest thing ever to be introduced in this new generation.

Favorite MLP Characters:
G1 Minty, G3 Dream Drifter and Daisy Paisley, and Doctor Whooves.

Do you like plush/stuffed animals?
Who doesn't? I have a small collection of Red Fox stuffed animals :D

Anything else you are in to?
I think I covered it all in my application. Spinning, dyeing, and weaving is a passion of mine. Nail Polish and Nail Art. Geeky/Nerdy movies and tv shows (Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Doctor Who, Big Bang Theory, etc...)

Favorite color?
Green. Hands down I love Green. Being a fan of nail polish I like most colors. Except for Yellow. Hard to find a yellow I like.

What about homemade stickers?
Great!

What animal groups do you love if you are into animals?
I like alot of animals but my true love is Foxes. Mostly Red, but I love white and silver and brown too.

Do you like getting animal items for extras like figures or other fun items?
Sure! Why not :)

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE CHARACTERS? TV, movies, Disney, etc..
Robin from Batman, 8th, 10th, and 4th doctors from Doctor Who, Westly Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Doctor Whooves/Time Turner from MLP FiM, umm...

YAY OR NAY to corny sovernirs like magnets, pens, postards?
Yay!

If I have holiday themed stickers that fits one of your interest would you be okay with that even if we are past the holiday?
Absolutely! I love St. Patrick's Day!

Hey I have a question...do you enjoy fun printed socks?
Yes but I have very big feet. Good luck finding fun socks that will fit me.

do you like canvas tote bags with some cute pattern or design?
I have a minor obsession with tote bags. I carry them all the time and have several devoted to carrying certain things. I LOVE tote bags!

Do you like deco tape?
Sure

Do you have any fuzzy buddies aka Pets?
3 cats, but I do so very much want to get a dog again. Big dogs like Irish Wolfhound or something. Not a big fan of small dogs. Except for King Charles Spaniels. They are the only small dog I like. But I LOVE big dogs!

If you are a fan of MLP FIM, do you like the trading cards and/or blind bags?
Blind Bags!!

If you do like blindbags/cards, is there any youre looking for?
I like to customize them so not something I'd be sorry to cut up, like the metalics or glitter ones. Just common no name run of the mill ones that I can butcher and repaint. Unless there is a Doctor Whooves BB out there, then OMG I want him!!

Do you like legos/megablocks/knex? such as the blindbag, minifigures, or small kits, or particular items/themes?
Sure, but I'm not all familar with what all they have, so I have no idea what theme to suggest.

what games and characters from those games do you LOVE like, if you have any, your MOST favorites?
Nothing jumps to mind. The video games I play are mostly World of Warcraft and Minecraft. Otherwise I play Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs and board games

How do you feel about vintage stickers? Scratch n' sniff, oily color swirl (don't know their real name), 80's cartoon themes?
I grew up in the 80's so they will always have a soft spot in my heart. Never cared for scratch n sniff, the scents never smell very good to me. Not sure what "oily color swirl" means but it sounds cool.

When one says they do not like puffy stickers - does this include all 3-D stickers or just the old skool puffy ones?
3D embellishments are cool. My problems with puffy stickers is they never want to stick to anything. They always fall off so easily that they are kinda disappointing as a sticker.

Are you interested in surprise stickers I choose because I like them?  Or are you mostly interested in the stickers on your list?
I love surprises! If you see something you think I'd like, I won't tell you no! :D

Do you use/have/own a cell phone?
Yep yep.

Do you listen to music on a MP3 player?
I used to, but my beloved iPod nano died a few years back. I miss it and want to get another, but just haven't been able to get the money together for it yet.

Do you collect anything besides ponies?
Hmm, Nail polish. I think that is the only thing I actively collect. Like go-out-of-my-way-to-track-down-bottles collect. One day I hit 4 Sally's Beauty Supply stores trying to find the Finger Paint's special effect collection flakies. China Glaze "OMG Collection", Color Club "Halo Hues", and Finger Paint "Special Effects" are the ones I'm trying to track now but no luck in stores. I collect other stuff, but nail polish is an obsession right now.

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras?
Surprise me. Really, an extra is something that should be unexpected, at least thats how I think of them :)

Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting?
I would love them <3

Do you have any hobbies?
Hobbies? Yeah, but most are very unusual. Spinning and Weaving is at the top of the list. Steampunk Jewelry making. American Civil War Re-enacting. Nail Polish. Gardening (Fiber and Dye plants. Some herbs, veggies and fruits. Not much in the way of decorative flowers.) I raise Silkworms, weird I know.

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?
See Hobbies ^^ Yeah, I'd love to see things like that, but my hobbies are so unusual that I'm not sure you'd be able to find things for that. Maybe antique brass colored metal things for the Jewelry making?

Do you like kawaii? And more specifically, do you like hello kitty and sanrio?
You know, I had never even heard the term kawaii before I joined this swap. A quick Google search and yeah. I think its adorable! I have nothing like it.

Do you drink TEA!  Yes, no, allergic to certain kinds...
I want to like tea. I keep trying. Tea is good for you, but so far I have not found a tea I like. I really WANT to like tea. I just don't.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~last chance to sign up~
Post by: sugar_apple on February 25, 2013, 12:27:48 PM
SO What is everyones favorite treat or type of candy & favorite flavors?
Hmm, I like sour candies (soft or hard) and gummi bears. Also I LOVE chocolate (milk or dark, can include nuts) Orange, lemon/lime, raspberry, caramel and vanilla are all nice flavours. I don't care much for mint or coconut though

Any allergies you want us aware of?
Can't eat wheat (so no cookies, waffles etc.)

Would you like to see some MLP stickers in your swap?
Sure, all gens (G1 would be very nice  :mrgreen:)

Do you celebrate Easter/spring? As in Easter baskets, chicks, bunnies, colorful grass and all that cute fluffy stuff?
Yeah (easter eggs, yummm) I looooove bunnies, even in ridiculous colours like green and pink and whatnot xD

Do you like MLP FIM? If so, is there anything you are looking for in particular or on your wishlist?
Yes I do. It would be nice to have any non-mane 6  first wave blind bag ponies :D My fav charas are Lyra, Drama Pony/drama pony and Doctor Whooves

Favorite MLP Characters:
See above for G4. From G1: Gusty, Fizzy, Sugar Apple, all big brother ponies, Minty, Lemon Treats, Tootie Tails, Starflower

Do you like plush/stuffed animals?
They're nice, but I don't really collect them. I love my alpacasso plushie though...  :P

Anything else you are in to?
These are all in the application, but let's emphasize some :D Cute stuff! Deco stuff (rhinestones, cabochons etc.) And owls, seriously love owls. Also art, especially art nouveau and art deco.

Favorite color?
Teal (also known as turquoise) is my absolute favorite, no doubt. Orange and pastels are also lovely. Not such a big fan of purple, however... kinda strange cause I like pink, hmh.

What animal groups do you love if you are into animals?  Do you like getting animal items for extras like figures or other fun items?
ANYTHING featuring owls would be highly appreciated ;)  other likes:
Bunnies (or rabbits/hares lol), birds (of prey, parrots, kiwis, dodos) llamas/alpacas, deer, dinosaurs (velociraptor, mwahah), ferrets, rodents, prairie dogs, meerkats, otters, raccoons, dragons, lizards, cheetahs, stingrays, jellyfish, puffer fish, foxes. And yeah, little figures or such sound nice.
Also, forgot to mention this, but NO caterpillars or centipedes, please! *bhrrr..*

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE CHARACTERS? TV, movies, Disney, etc..
Miku Hatsune and other Vocaloids, Black Rock Shooter, Alice in Wonderland characters, Merida, Marie from Aristocats, Moomin characters, Haku from Spirited Away, Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who, Daleks. And I also like the soot sprites from Totoro :B

What about homemade stickers?
Sure.

Do you like canvas tote bags with some cute pattern or design?
I LOVE tote bags! <3 <3 (and even if I don't need them they still pile up xD) Purses are nice, too.

Do you like deco tape?
Yeeesh, I dooo. Washi tape is really awesome (although a bit pricey) but I like any type of cute tape ;D

DO you have any fuzzie buddies aka Pets?
2 bunnies (my family's pets, but love them as if they were my own <3) and they just loooove treats  :snicker:

If you are a fan of MLP FIM, do you like the trading cards and/or blind bags?
Yes I like both. Don't have any trading cards yet! Blind bags: only looking for wave 1 (not mane 6)

Do you like legos/megablocks/knex? such as the blindbag, minifigures, or small kits, or perticular items/themes?
Not really into legos or such.

what games and characters from those games do you LOVE like, if you have any, your MOST favorites?
Tetris and jewel games are great xD Not that many characters pop to mind, but I like Fran and Balthier from FFXII

How do you feel about vintage stickers? Scratch n' sniff, oily color swirl (don't know their real name), 80's cartoon themes?
Vintage stickers are great! Especially cartoon themed, like Peanuts and Carebears.

Are you interested in surprise stickers I choose because I like them?  Or are you mostly interested in the stickers on your list?
Go ahead, as long as they're not on my dislike list :D

Do you collect anything besides ponies?
Dolls (Pullip, Monster High), stickers (lol), random cute stuff like cards

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras?
I dunno... whatever my partner chooses  :biggrin:

Hmmm, will have to say no to these, have enough stationary and pens :B

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?
Supplies would be fine, although I don't really need more of them :D

Yessh.

Do you listen to music on a MP3 player?
Yes I do, on my creative zen player

Post by: Marigold on February 25, 2013, 12:30:23 PM
Oh gosh, I want an alpacasso plushie so much!  :)

Here's a question:  If I have holiday themed stickers that fits one of your interest would you be okay with that even if we are past the holiday?  For example if you love alligators and I happen to have Valentine's alligators, would that be okay.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~closed~
Post by: Radiance on February 25, 2013, 01:13:58 PM
Here are my answers! I'm so excited; this will be my first swap :)

SO What is everyones favorite treat or type of candy & favorite flavors?
I like fruit flavored chewy candies, and any sort of mint candy! I am on a diet though, so not too many treats for me  >_<

Any allergies you want us aware of?
Nope

Would you like to see some MLP stickers in your swap? Sure! Stickers of G1 characters (not necessarily vintage stickers) would be awesome! If it's vinyl I'll put it on my truck!

Do you celebrate Easter/spring? Not Easter, but I do love spring. Cute chicks & ducks and bunnies are nice.

Do you like MLP FIM? If so, is there anything you are looking for in particular or on your wishlist? I'd like a brushable Princess Luna/ Nightmare Moon, and a Vinyl Scratch (not the one from the toys r us collectors pack, her eyes are messed up).

Favorite MLP Characters: All G1 ponies, and any pony with a bee themed symbol, like Honeybuzz or Bumblesweet. Really any insect themed symbol I love. Also green ponies. I have a Tickle army.

Do you like plush/stuffed animals? Yes! I cuddle them while watching scary movies!

Anything else you are in to? I collect Blythe dolls, BJDs, and vintage Topper Dawn dolls, and Kenner Shimmers. I'm on a unicorn kick right now and any sort of unicorn doo-dad will be awesome. I have a wonderful horse named Magic; she doesn't need anything but I do love horses. If my partner is artsy I'd love a bit of artwork. I'm very lousy unfortunately. I read a lot and use cute book marks. I love pretty much all animals, even most insects (especially moths and bees).

Favorite color? Purple, dark jewel tones like emerald green and sapphire blue. Basically cool colors rather than warm.

What are my favorite animal groups? I love donkeys! Seriously, they are the best! I think owls are cute, and I love anything related to the ocean. Cute fish are cute! Sea stars, corals, giant clams. I also like fancy goldfish & koi.

What are my favorite characters? I love Dr. Who, Sailor Moon & company, Madoka from the anime Maho Shojo Madoka Magica. I'm not really into any Disney characters.

Do you like canvas tote bags with some cute pattern or design?
Yes! And I really need one! I've been using a plastic grocery bag to tote my lunch and book and stuff to work. So not cute!

Do you like deco tape?
I sure do. I'd love to use some on pony packages :)

If I have holiday themed stickers that fits one of your interest would you be okay with that even if we are past the holiday?
I don't really celebrate holidays, so no thanks.

Hey I have a question...do you enjoy fun printed socks?
Yes I do! I wear regular sized women's socks.

YAY OR NAY to corny souvenirs like magnets, pens, postards?
Sure, if your town has a famous landmark I'd like a postcard

How do you feel about vintage stickers? Scratch n' sniff, oily color swirl (don't know their real name), 80's cartoon themes?

I love them! My favorite sticker as a kid was a pink oily unicorn. I'd rub it & make the colors swirl all the time, it was like magic!

DO you have any fuzzie buddies aka Pets?
Yes. I have a fluffy gray kitty, 2 American Bulldogs, and a horse (she's a Mustang that was once wild, she came from the BLM).

Do you use/have/own a cell phone? yes, it's very basic, not a smart phone

Do you listen to music on a MP3 player? sometimes, but the compressed file degrades the audio quality. I'd rather listen to vinyl if I can get it.

Do you collect anything besides ponies? Yes, dolls. BJDs, Blythe, and Topper Dawn dolls from the 70's

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras? I really need a new blank, unlined journal. Cute stationary and pens are always useful

Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting? haha, see above!

Do you have any hobbies? I have a horse & ride a lot, but I consider that really more of a lifestyle than a hobby, lol. I journal a lot and read all kinds of books.

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box? I wish, but I'm just not crafty at all. I'd love to be able to sew little doll dresses. Maybe a simple pattern for a beginner seamstress?

Do you drink tea? Yes. I like green teas and black teas with mint.

Here's a question: How do you store or display your stickers? In a box, album, scrapbook?
I have not had many stickers since my childhood when I kept them in a sticker album. Now I only have a few that I use in my journal (which is kind of turning into a scrap book). I'll probably start keeping them in a pretty photo box as I get more.

If I have holiday themed stickers that fits one of your interest would you be okay with that even if we are past the holiday?

For me, I have tons of Holiday stickers and as much as I love them, I find them very limiting on how often I can use them. I would pass on these, but I also know that hearts are common on just so many stickers and that doesn't mean that the sticker is a Valentine sticker, but if it says Be Mine..well that just about screams Valentine's Day LOL.  No, for me....


I am just dying to get my partner and start shopping. I sure hope we get them soon. My husband has the day off tomorrow and told me he would take me out to several stores.  That is such a treat. I can't wait...I hope I get a name today or in the morning...so I can get started... :)

I got my partner too!

I got one - YAY OR NAY to corny sovernirs like magnets, pens, postards?

I say sure, why not?

SO What is everyones favorite treat or type of candy, also along with this, what are your favorite flavors.
Sour candy and any kind of chocolate that isn't Hershey's! I love fruit + chocolate too

Also cant believe I forgot this, but please mention if you have any allergies you want us aware of.
None so far! But I won't get mad at you if I puff up from something :P

Would you like to see some MLP stickers in your swap?
Sure! But I would definitely like to see other things, too!

Do you celebrate Easter/spring? As in Easter baskets, chicks, bunnies, colorful grass and all that cute fluffy stuff?
Do I like the spring/easter paraphernalia? YES. BUNNAYS. But I'm not religious so please nothing of that sort.

Do you like MLP FIM? If so, is there anything you are looking for in particular or on your wishlist?
Yes, in fact I am primarily a G4 fangirl!

Favorite MLP Characters:
G4 Rarity, Minuette, Drama Pony!

Do you like plush/stuffed animals?
Yes, I do, but I prefer them to be on the small side because I don't have a ton of room :(

Anything else you are in to?
Indie music, plants! I love plants. Kawaii stuff, deco, Japanese characters, owls, cats, raccoons, unicorns!

Favorite color?
Red, but I also love pink and green. You can't really go wrong with colors because I like them all!

I can't keep track of all the questions, people!!!

Do you use/have/own a cell phone? Yes, I'm guiltily attached to my iphone5...

Do you listen to music on a MP3 player? hm, not really. my phone is my mp3 player and it goes everywhere!

Anyway, I did some awesome shopping for my partner and I'm pretty sure this is going to be the cutest package I've ever put together.

If you are a fan of MLP FIM, do you like the trading cards and/or blind bags?

YES! Though I'm all done with my card set for now ^^ I am after series 2, though! And yes, I love blind bag ponies :3

Got my partner!

If I have holiday themed stickers that fits one of your interest would you be okay with that even if we are past the holiday?
I don't really celebrate holidays, so no thanks.

Hey I have a question...do you enjoy fun printed socks?
Yes I do! I wear regular sized women's socks.

YAY OR NAY to corny souvenirs like magnets, pens, postards?
Sure, if your town has a famous landmark I'd like a postcard ;)

Is it wrong that I just dropped a bunch of money at one store on Sandy Lion stickers?  I could just give my partner SL stickers and nothing else, but I think that wouldn't be too good.  More variety is needed, I think.

Last year all of us sent a variety of stickers to each other thats why True gives us so much time so we can find unique stickers and have a lot of different styles to give our partners. So we had lots of different brands in our boxes and a lot of variety.  I think if your partner said all they wanted was Sandy Lion then you would be fine in only purchasing Sandy Lion, but if they didn't then I agree with you that having more variety is a good idea. :)  Sounds like you had a fun day.  Perhaps True will come in and have a better answer for you.  I know I went shopping today also and found a few things but I think I have like 7 different brands as I shopped at three stores, but I am far from finished at this point.  Plus I have some extras to add to my swap box and thats always fun.

I hope my partner doesn't mind, but I found some really awesome sticker items that I want to use as extras (not part of the minimum swap amount). They are really cool and I want to add them, but they will make me go over...so this is my exucuse..they are extras and they will not disappoint. :)

It just means I'll have more fun at all the other stores I go to!  I just get there and I'm like a kid in a candy store: "I want that one, and that one, and that one, and that one, and that one..."  I'm going to end up with so many stickers after this, it's going to be AWESOME!!!

Took the words out of my mouth xD. I personally think its more fun to have lots of different things instead of just one stack of uniform stickers. unless of course like Tula said thats what they want.

its best to not focus too much on any one brand or subject of your partners list, instead limit yourself to 1 or 2 sheets per theme.

I havent bought anything yet, lol but i went easter shopping today and spotted a few really cute stickers ill need to go back for when i start shopping... i already know im going to go over.. i always go over the price xD in my head its more of a minimum rofl >.< i love buying stickers haha.

Sandylion is awesome AND so is variety.  Variety is the spice of life. Isn't that what they say?

Seriously, the word minimum gives me nightmares...its just something I will always over achieve...I love my partners list and i am probably going to go nutso.  I have no self control when it comes to stickers.

I am buying several items in stores and online too.  I just have all these sticker buying spots that I must visit.

I'm not sure where all to find stickers.  I went to my local store where I usually get my stickers, will head to Wal-Mart and Michael's but am not sure where else.  I live in a big city, it shouldn't be this hard to find really neat stickers.  I think I'll end up internet shopping, and that's always fun.  :)

Well it just happens that some of the things I bought earlier also fit my partners likes, so yay already off to a good start :D looked around a bit today too, but need to 'plan' a bit more so I don't accidentally go waaay over 20$ XD I'll be spending next week in a different location (on holiday, hee hee) so will definitely be strolling around there too. Wheee, so excited!!

Good luck Sugar apple, I always start out with the best planning intentions and the longer these swaps last the more I add...and by the time I am done..planning went out the window. ROFLOL

Another question related to extras:

What animal groups do you love if you are into animals?  Do you like getting animal items for extras like figures or other fun items?

For me its: Pandas, Woodland animals especially owls, squirrels, foxes, rabbits, deer, racoons, and hedgehogs, Artic animals, especially penguines, seals and polar bears and other animals: Sloths, kola bears, butterflies, moths, dolphins, coral reef fish but NO SHARKS!!!  The Japanese chin is my favorite dog and the persian is my favorite cat.  I also love parakeets, finches and other wildlife birds.  I love Pegasus over unicorn.

I love getting things that pertain to my favorite animals, for figures I would rather go for something like Schleich over glass figures..I worry about breaking things and storing breakables.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~partners!~
Post by: Marigold on February 27, 2013, 09:20:35 AM
No sharks?  Why no sharks.  Sharks are friends too.  Love your sharky friends.  Sharks will be there for you when you need them.

(and so you don't think I have gone mad, yes I know the above is nonsensical). 

I actually love sharks (but do not want stickers of because I have a bunch).  They are really misunderstood and they are beautiful graceful creatures.  I like horn sharks, nurse sharks, and basic "sand" sharks.  But again, I don't need stickers of them because I have lots. 

My favorite animals are: pufferfish, luna moths, cuttlefish, mola mola, nudibranchs/sea slugs, lettered olives, cats, moths, triggerfish, squid, song birds (favorites are red winged blackbirds, yellow rumped warblers, wrens), finches (they chatter back at you), sand pipers, quail, turkeys (yay turkeys!), clams, scallops, snails, trout, leaf fish, dachshunds, owls...I am sure I am missing other favorites.  I like snakes, but I don't want stickers or figures of them unless they are super cute. 

I like animal related things especially if they are small figures.  The smaller the better.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE CHARACTERS? TV, movies, Disney, etc..

With respect to extras: Oh yes I am a huge Totoro fan, I love Ponyo and I adore little Pascal.  My other favorite is the cheshire cat in either Disney cartoon alice or Burton Alice.  Love them both very much.  I love Snoopy and woodstock and Peanuts Characters.  When I was a kid I had several snoopy outfits and still do have many outfits.  My husband is also quite fond of my snoopy outfits as he had them growing up. That brings back huge memories.  I am more fond of vintage snoopy, but I do like some of the modern things they have made.  Lamb Chop...she is so adorable!! I do not need any stickers from these though as I have plenty already..but they are all fine for extras.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~partners!~
Post by: Marigold on February 27, 2013, 11:11:46 AM
I don't want stickers from any of my favorite characters, but I do like Rapunzel.  Any Rapunzel from anything, not just Disney's Tangled.  In fact I prefer non-Disney Rapunzels. 

I ADORE soot sprites.  I'd take stickers, or keychains, or really anything with them.  I don't have much with them right now, so anything you find would be amazing.

Hey partner - if you clic the sticer swap thing in my siggy, it will tae you to a post with answers to all these questions in one spot

What about homemade stickers?
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~partners!~
Post by: goddessofpeep on February 27, 2013, 07:01:13 PM
I got a request for some more info about my extras wants, so here it goes!  Sorry I'm a bit lazy about copying all the questions:p  I think I've got most of them answered below:


Animals I particularly like:
Hedgehogs
Bunnies
Owls
Kiwis

I also like woodland critters, fantasy creatures, sea creatures(including sharks:p), dragonflies, and pretty much anything cute.  Figures, stuffed animals, stationary, office supplies like paper clips/push pins/magnets, and pretty much anything else involving cute animals, particularly bunnies, owls, hedgehogs, or kiwis would always be a very happy surprise!  Most items on my sticker wantlist would be welcomed in other forms as extras as well.  I am in need of some cute push pins right now if you find some.

I like small things. Usually the smaller the better.  I collect tiny figures, small stuffed animals, Re-Ment, tiny glass animals, and all sorts of wee things.  Space is always a premium here, so smaller is almost always better:p

I've gotten really into decorating for Halloween, so I spend a good portion of my year thinking about what I'm going to do when it rolls around again.  I've even started keeping a few tiny Halloween things out year round, so small Halloween-ish items are generally always welcome.  Little figures or very small stuffed animals(particularly black cats) are always fun.  A few favorite Halloween things include spooky trees, haunted houses, black cats, pumpkins, and simple(non-cartoony) ghosts.  Not as big a fan of human monsters like witches, Frankenstein, vampires, mummies, etc.  I also don't like gory stuff, so no body parts, bloody things, etc please.  Vintage from the 80s is cool here too:p  Halloween stuff would be welcomed, but don't feel like this needs to be a Halloween exchange.  There's lots of other stuff on my wantlist too.

I collect Christmas ornaments. Any of the items on my sticker "loves" work just fine for Christmas ornaments too, as do nice ornaments from local attractions.  I like glass ornaments(blown glass in particular) and metal ornaments.  I don't like plastic/resin ornaments as much.

Since it's Easter right now, and I LOVE bunnies, I welcome all bunny related items whether or not they have anything to do with Easter.  I also love Peeps as a candy and as a theme.  They make Peep stuffed animals, keychains, tshirts, stickers, chapstick, and all sorts of other items.  I am goddessofPEEP after all:p  Easter is my season!

I love collecting postcards, magnets, pencils, mini(and regular sized) decks of cards, and pretty much any touristy item from interesting places.  I also collect squished pennies of tourist attractions.  I *really* love roadside places like the world's biggest ball of twine, or Wall Drug:
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2216
The crazier the better. And any trinkets from roadside attractions are ALWAYS welcome.
This site lists all the crazy attractions by state if you're looking for an adventure:
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/

I also love Scotland, so anything from there would make my day.

I also like local legends like Big Foot, Champ, Jackalopes, or the Loch Ness Monster.  I'd love some wacky stuff involving those, or books about the local legends.  Or post cards.  Anything really.  Don't be afraid to send me weird stuff, as long as it's not disgusting or in bad taste(Big Foot poop or something like that).

I love Doctor Who with the exception of the 11th Doctor. I have a fairly large collection of Doctor Who stuff already, but if it's got David Tennant on it, I don't care if I get doubles(or triples, or more:p).  If it's got David Tennant on it, I don't care what it is, or if I already have it, I'm going to love it.  I also particularly like Dalek and K9 items.  Not as fond of Cybermen.  Stickers, pencils, figures, toys, books, whatever.  Always fun!

I cook a lot, so a copy of any of your favorite recipes would be very much welcomed if you've got the time:)  So would cookbooks, but those usually aren't cheap to buy or to ship.

Candies I like:
Sour Patch Kids and Sour Watermelons
Dark chocolate(favorite fillings - caramel and mint, but plain is great too!)
Hershey's kisses
Twix
Snickers
Jelly Bellies(and other jelly beans)
Gummies
Peeps(they have chocolate dipped ones now, and they're AWESOME!)
Just a reminder - if you ship chocolate(or anything that melts), seal it in a plastic baggie separate from the rest of the stuff.  It was over 80 degrees here today, and it's supposed to be breaking records on Friday!  Looks like we've got an early summer coming:p

Allergies:
Strongly scented vanilla and floral items
Fake butter flavoring

Things I'd rather not get:
Ballet/tutus/tiaras/fru-fru stuff
Make up
Nail polish
Socks
Hair accessories
Earrings
Bath stuff(it's ok, but not exciting)
Religious or political items
Cheap novelty chocolate(it usually tastes awful)
White chocolate
Vanilla or floral scented items

Hope that helps!


More questions came in:
Are you interested in surprise stickers I choose because I like them?  Or are you mostly interested in the stickers on your list?
As long as it's not on my "do not want" list, I'm sure it will be lovely.  Though, my "loves" list is so long, finding something that ISN'T on it is probably going to be a challenge:p

Do you like canvas tote bags with some cute pattern or design?
In theory yes, but I don't think I'll end up using them.  We have a lot of random bags around the house that have been collected through the years.


Do you like deco tape?
Probably not as exciting as other things on my wishlist.  I wouldn't be upset to see it, but there are other things that would be a bigger hit:)

DO you have any fuzzie buddies aka Pets?
Sadly not at this time:(  We're thinking about getting a new pet, but haven't yet.

If you are a fan of MLP FIM, do you like the trading cards and/or blind bags?
I like FIM, and I'd always be happy to get any items I don't have.  I have Waves 1, 3, and 4 complete of the blind bags.  I have *nothing* from any other wave, so feel free to go crazy if you have a source for Waves 2, and anything 5 or over.  I also have very few cards, so I'd be happy to get a few packs of those.

Oh, and if I had to choose a favorite FIM character, it would be Princess Luna.

If you do like blindbags/cards, is there any youre looking for?
Blind bags wave 2 and anything wave 5 and over.

Do you like legos/megablocks/knex? such as the blindbag, minifigures, or small kits, or perticular items/themes?
There's a Lego style Doctor Who series from a company called Character Building.  I collect those, however I have most of the ones I want from the regular blind bags.  However, I am looking for a single 10th Doctor with his accessories(screwdriver).  That would most likely have to be an ebay purchase to get him singly.  I am also looking for pretty much everything in this set:
http://doctorwhotoys.net/elevendoctorsmicrofigures.htm
Not sure when it's coming out, but it could be any time:p

Other Lego blind bags, not as interesting.  I do collect Nanoblocks, but those aren't blind bag items.  Nanoblocks are like mini Legos:
http://www.mynanoblock.com/site/
You can often find them at TRU and some hobby stores.  They come in two kinds of sets.  The animal sets come in little bags and run somewhere in the neighborhood of $7-$12 depending on the store.  The landmark series comes in small boxes and run $13-$20ish depending on the store.  I have the rabbit, dog, ducks, dolphin, and a few others I can't remember.  I also have the German and French castles(can't remember their exact names).

what games and characters from those games do you LOVE like, if you have any, your MOST favorites?
I play Pokemon, and I do have a few favorites.  I particularly like Shaymin(the green hedgehog of course!).  Always been a fan of Pikachu as well.  If you go for something Pokemon related, please go for something small.  They make a lot of larger toys, and I just don't have the room!  I'd probably rather not get too many stickers from Pokemon.  Again, I wouldn't be upset to see them, but there are so many other items that I'd probably find a bit more exciting:)  Though, if you find a bunch of Shaymin stickers, I'm cool with that:)  Hedgehogs AND Pokemon:)



Do you collect anything besides ponies?
Oh yes.  A partial list:
Bunny, hedgehog, and owl items.  Pretty much anything as long as it's cute.  Bonus points if it's small:)
Small stuffed animals
Steiff stuffed animals
Tiny glass figures
Squished pennies from tourist attractions I visit
Anything with David Tennant on it
Doctor Who stuff in particular David Tennant items, Daleks, and K-9
Terrible, terrible movies.  I'm talking the really silly awful stuff like Sharktopus and Troll 2(look it up, it's so bad they made a film about how bad it is).  Stupid silly fun, not regular movies that just aren't any good.  If it's likely to make an appearance on the website badmovies.org, it's probably what I'm looking for. 
Christmas ornaments
Loch Ness Monster/sea serpent stuff
Books about ghost stories or local legends
Tourist knick-knacks from places I visit including magnets, decks of cards, postcards, and small decorative items
Cookbooks, in particular those little booklet style ones you find at the grocery store checkout counter
Sea shells(in moderation)
Magic the Gathering cards.  Used to be really into them, not so much anymore, but I do like to get the odd booster pack to see what's going on in the game and to have a bit of fun opening them:)
Halloween stuff, though I'm a bit picky about any of the big stuff.  Little figures and tiny stuffed animals will probably be a hit.  Vintage stuff from the 80s is also usually cool too:)
I have a tiny collection of 3D silver charms.  I don't actually wear them, but I do like to have them on display if they're really cute.
Stuff from Scotland
Re-Ment, and Re-Ment style items, in particular the dishes/housewares sets, not so much the food unless it's special themed like bunny/mushroom/etc themed.
Anything that's tiny and cute.
Glass animals and other decorative items
Barbapapa




What kinds of items would you like to see as extras?
Lots of things would be great.  I collect A LOT of things, so there's a lot of options there.  It's really hard to say what I'd actively like to get, so I'll just go with what items would probably be the biggest hits.

Small, cute stuffed animals of my favorite animals(bunny, hedgehog, owl, kiwi) would be most welcomed.
Doctor Who stuff as long as Matt Smith isn't on it
Anything with David Tennant on it. ANYTHING.  Honestly, you stick a David Tennant item in the box, the whole box will be an instant hit:p  Sad, but true.
Cute little figures I can put on my desk of any of my favorite things will always be a happy surprise
I'd like a bit of candy, but I'm trying to eat a bit healthier after the holidays.  So I'd like "it's a treat!" amounts, not massive amounts of candy.
I wouldn't mind one of those booklet style cookbooks from the grocery store, particularly one for Easter treats and meals.
I have been buying some hand crafted stuff from Etsy and other places lately, and a lot of the time I like it more than most things you can buy in stores.  If you have a particular talent in making something, I'm always happy to have something handmade.  No worries if you're not, but a hand crafted item will find a very happy home with me:) 


Would things like cute stationary or pens/pencils be interesting?
I'm always in need of post it notes and pads of paper.  And pens/pencils.  Cute office items like paper clips, pads of paper, pencils, pens, post it notes, and whatever else would be a happy addition to the box.

Do you have any hobbies?
I cook a lot, though that's less of a hobby and more of a job since I have to get dinner on the table every night:p I'm always looking for more cookbooks that have healthy/fast/tasty recipes in them.
The vast majority of my hobbies involve collecting things.  I play some video games.  I'm into some arty things mostly origami and jewelry making.   

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?
Most of the stuff I need wouldn't be particularly exciting in a swap box, but I wouldn't mind a nice pack of origami paper. 

Do you like moustache stuff?
I have no particular objection to it, but I'd probably rather not get anything like that:p

do any of you want to do like "official question posts" that i link in the member list? im not sure if that would be more or less confusing xD
how it would work is you pick one of your posts to add your answers as the questions get posted. then i could turn your name (in our member list on the first post) into a link that takes people directly to that answer post. that way your partner could just click your name and go right to one post with all the answers.

Iv added an example using myself, let me know if you want me to do the same for you. (yes i know i have a lot of questions to make up xD)

also would make it easier for you to add questions because you can just click your own name and modify your post xD

I'm going to be adding my answers to all the questions in one post also, hopefully later today.

I was looking at stickers on ebay and the shipping is crazy!  I can buy a couple of sheets of stickers for a couple of dollars but then I need to pay $7-8 in shipping!  I don't think so.  Grrr.  Going to check some more stores today.  Yay!  I need to pace myself cause I bought too many stickers at the last store.  Not on purpose, honest!  :angel:

I have been hand sewing for my partner today.  I went to the store and I didn't see anything cute at all for extras.  It was just isles and isles of junk.  I don't want to buy that plastic gooplee, so I have decided to get crafty.  Its special for me when I get to sew because, I don't really do it often due to my neck.  Today though, my neck has been doing okay with it.  So I got a little project going and my vision for it, well, I hope my partner enjoys it because, I think its turning out way cute!!  My little dog has just been sitting next to me watching each stitch in progress.  I think he wants to learn actually.  Either that or he is after the bag of cheetos I should not be eating.  I was trying to do a diet and that blew out the window this week.

I made an  online purchase today also for my partner.  I got something I ordered in the mail. Wow that was quick.  Okay so that little set of stickers is TO DIE FOR AdorAbLe.

I found this tote bag that iv had for a while (never been used so dont worry) xD but i think im going to use it to hold all the stickers for mailing, if they dont like it, I guess they can give it away or something ROFL xD

im going to use it either way, because the theme of it fits perfectly for my partner, but its very PINK lol
im going to ask this question for everyone else.

do you like canvas tote bags with some cute pattern or design?
I do, since I dont like purses xD(too small)

totes usually just work better for me since its easy to reach in and grab what i need, also i have room... since I have 1 son, and i baby sit my nephews a lot so i might have up to 4 kids with my between the ages of 10 months to 9 years  at any given time ROFL

I love tote bags, but I can't use small ones.

Last year we all used mailers to ship our stickers, but I am  not sure I will be going the mailer route this time.  I can't decide.  If I do, I may use two, one that is made out of cardboard to house the stickers and then the bubble mailer to put that in and my extras...but then again...I am not sure I want my extras crushed. Hmmmm  I may be using a box this year.  I want things to arrive in really nice shape so my partner will really enjoy their loot.  Smashed items don't sound really "happy happy la la" to me. :biggrin:

I've not bought a single sticker yet!!!  But I'm finishing up my random swap boxes so I want to keep my mind on them until I have them complete.  Which means this weekend I will start sticker shopping.

However!  I already bought stickers for myself which I got extras of in case my partner had the same interests.  And guess what?!  They Dooooo!  So, I have shopped even though it was before we got partners!

They look too good to be homemade and the ones on the right have a bar code thing so I think they are professionally made but not by hasbro. I once got a playing card set via a MLPTP swap and the cards had some people's personas as artwork  :| with some random G3 and G1 artwork thrown in. The sender said she found it for sale in some store in australia. It would be kinda neat to see ones persona being sold profesionally..minus the whole stealing artwork thing

anyways the stickers are 1.99 per sheet and no shipping but god only knows how long it will take to get from russia - in case anybody wants to buy some. I might order the G4 non creepy ones, if all goes well with receiving the other one..not sure how dodgy the russian postal system is but it cant be any worse then Italy..

megablocks halo blind bags, again joint custody
I also love anything from Lego belville (so cute)
I also collect:

If you are a fan of MLP FIM, do you like the trading cards and/or blind bags?

Yes  -  I have none of the trading cards a pack or two of them would be nice.

Do you like legos/megablocks/knex? such as the blindbag, minifigures, or small kits, or perticular items/themes? Nope

DO you have any fuzzie buddies aka Pets?
1 Dog
1 Chinchilla
17 Bettas
2 clown Plecos
Many aquatic snails

went to check out sticers at walmart today and I was not impressed with them.

Quesion: when one says they do not like puffy stickers - does this include all 3-D stickers or just the old skool puffy ones?

I did see one neat package of stickers and it kinda had a 3d snowglobe things going on but not sure if that goes into the "puffy" catagory or not  :huh:

I know for myself when it comes to 3D I do  not care for the (bobble/jewel/Bling/Boutique) type...but if its a sticker on my wanted list and its puffy I will love it.  I don't really use the crafty 3D stickers they make for decorating scrap books.  To me puffy means the vinyl sticker that has padding in it.  So I guess I think of puffy as the ones you have in the first photo...most of the ones in the second photo .... to me those are embellishments...not stickers.  Just me.  Neat looking though. :)

I agree, I don't really see 3D stickers as 'puffy'. Puffy stickers to me mean flat images with some padding inside them and 3D sort of have multiple layers and actually try to imitate real-life shapes. Personally I don't really care for puffy stickers but I like 3D stickers even if they are often more like items with a sticky bit instead of 'actual' stickers, but then again I like scrapbook stuff :B

I like puffy and "embellishment" stickers. Although I prefer the embellishment stickers that are not too complicated.

I've just up and finished packing up my random swap boxes so I can focus on getting stickers together.  Yay!

The ones I saw were actual stickers - not like the joile's boutique one's I posted but I couldn't find anything on ebay that was even close to them. They are kind of like those beanie bag tag protectors with giltter inside.  I like the embelishment/scrapbook 3d stickers but they are a bit on the $$ side. I used to use them on custom ponies  ^.^

Hobby Lobby has lots of stickers!  More than Joann and Michael's!  I wasn't there looking for stickers and was in a rush, but I am going back.

Are you interested in surprise stickers I choose because I like them?  Or are you mostly interested in the stickers on your list?

I don't want to disappoint if I veer off of your main interests, but I also want to surprise  with something you might not have seen.

our TRU has like no stickers :/ but ours is a sort of smaller store, the only stickers they have are like in with the party supplies, i doubt theres even 20 different types of sheets lol its pretty sad.

I need an excuse to go to hobby lobby >.< the closest one to me is an hour away, and iv always wanted to go there, but every time i pass it is in the summer and im usually on my way home from camping up north and everyone's too tired to go shopping. xD

surprisingly i always find the best stickers at our wallmart lol, its not a HUGE selection but they seem to change it up a lot so theres usually always something i dont have.

Are you interested in surprise stickers I choose because I like them?  Or are you mostly interested in the stickers on your list?
yeah i know theres a lot of things i didnt remember to add to my list, im really not picky about stickers. like dainty said, so long as its not something on my do not want list, i probably wont mind. If i dont nessisarily love it, im sure i can use it for someone else who does, since im always decorating letters and boxes and things xD.

There's my questions & answers post (I think). Can I get a button to add to my sig please :)


Oh yeah, went shopping this weekend! Bought a load of cuuuuuute stickers and still have plenty of my budget left.

I have a question:

How do you feel about vintage stickers? Scratch n' sniff, oily color swirl (don't know their real name), 80's cartoon themes?

I love them! My favorite sticker as a kid was a pink oily unicorn. I'd rub it & make the colors swirl all the time, it was like magic!

So I went to check out these Oily stickers online. I had not heard of those and they look really neat.  I don't think I ever owned one of those.  They kind of reminded me of this little toy I had as a child.  It was basically a square made out of plastic and hard plastic underneath and when you pushed on it with your finger..the black substance inside would move around and you would see rainbow colors. Kind of like a drawing pad. I loved that thing and played with it daily.

Oh, is it okay for us to ship as soon as we get our name on the 24th?  I was confused because the shipping date starts on March 24 but then people can ship all the way into the last week of April? I have never seen that long of a shipping time.  Is it okay if I don't wait until the late April date? I can't imagine needing that much time since I am done with my shopping, but I still am waiting for my online purchases. :blush:

Well this toy I had was a huge tray kind of 8 1/2 x 11 in size, but yea I bet it was the same concept as a mood sticker. I use to have those.  You would put them on your hand it would let you know if you were relaxed or anxious.  When I was kid I had a mood ring also as they were very popular at the time. I wish I still had it.  It was so much fun. I loved that thing. :biggrin:

an answer to the shipping question, that date is so long because a couple of people are shipping internationally. i was going to encourage international shipping to do so earlier but its not really a big deal, since i have a feeling most people will be done by then. you can ship whenever you want as soon as you get your partners shipping information. :)

Wow those are from the same time period, but mine didn't look like those.  Mine was much bigger and it was black until you touched it.  The Fidget is the same concept only a little different.  But I do remember having another toy that was a circular shape with blue and white sand in it.  It was pretty flat and you could turn it this way and that way and it would make scenes.  When I saw the Fidget online it reminded me of that toy.  This sand toy was called: WHAM-O Magic Window SAND Toy by Whamo.

Squand rings a bell!  It was not Nickelodeon based.  I think it is older than that.  They would show commercials for it about building castles with it underwater then taking out with your hands and it would be dry.  I had some but it was messy and mom threw it out after a couple of uses. I never did figure out how to make perfect castles.  It came in red and blue at first.

I just bought more stuff for my partner and got doubles for myself.   ^.^  The fun about this swap is that I don't feel too bad doing that as I'm pretty sure my partner won't be getting me the same and even if, somehow, they did, you can never have too many stickers. :good:

I'm not officially over budget, so the question is: do I keep some back for myself or just spoil my partner rotten?  I vote for spoilage but I don't want to make anyone feel bad for sticking to the budget.

Do you use/have/own a cell phone? Yes, I'm guiltily attached to my iphone5...

Do you listen to music on a MP3 player? hm, not really. my phone is my mp3 player and it goes everywhere!

Anyway, I did some awesome shopping for my partner and I'm pretty sure this is going to be the cutest package I've ever put together.

If you are a fan of MLP FIM, do you like the trading cards and/or blind bags?

YES! Though I'm all done with my card set for now ^^ I am after series 2, though! And yes, I love blind bag ponies :3

A few questions I'm hoping my partner will answer:


Do you collect anything besides ponies?

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras?

Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting?

Do you have any hobbies?  

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?

I think I have to answer stuff from the cell phone question on.  Maybe I will get to them tonight.

I vote for spoiling because I can't seem not to. I always worry I don't have enough so I spoil. This one is a bit easier for me to stick to the budget unlike with the varying prices of ponies or other things. So my plan is to get exactly $20 worth of stickers and then add in a few of my favorites on top of that. So I will be spoiling but not going bonanzas.  I hope to spoil in a reasonable way.  Especially because I plan use more of my partners wish lists items as extras instead of adding in actual extras.

I tend to spoil my partners as I love to personalize the swap extras as well as the focus. Its just too much fun. :biggrin:  This time around I have both stickers and non sticker extras, but I am including a note so my partner will know what stickers were extras in addition to the obvious extras. ;)

Do you collect anything besides ponies?
My partner can see everything I love and collect by clicking on the globe in my profile here on the arena.  It takes you to all my wanted lists and the menu is on the right side of the page.

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras?

I love Kawaii items like special japanese puzzle erasers, cell phone charms, kawaii plush, kawaii stationary and pens, kawaii key chains....anything kawaii I will love it..oh and panda themed stuff.  I also love charmkins...re-ment.


Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting?
Kawaii for this only...I have plenty of hello kitty though and don't need any hello kitty stickers or stationary

Do you have any hobbies?
Yes I sew, draw and glass bead jewelry making

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?
Sure I can always use wool felt.  I do not use regular felt though...it has to be wool felt.

I'm ordering things from the US and live in Canada so I hope it all comes in time, too.  There should be no problem, 1-2 weeks tops is how long most of the parcels I've sent took to get to the US.

I like certain kinds - Licorice spice, chai tea, celestial seasionings sleepytime tea

Or if you go with other herbal flavors, I can always add in sugar to sweeten them up. Not a fan of normal tea like earl grey, english breafast tea, ect

and this stuff is heavenly if you mix it up good and add in sugar and milk

Oh I think you will have enough time since the very latest you can ship is like the end of April...you will have it by the end of this month.  I bought something from Canada and am hoping it doesn't get lost and I get it in time.  Even if it takes a month I would get it in time because that would be the 28th of March for me.  Whenever I buy from China, I am always impressed with how well the shipping goes.  I think 3 weeks is the max I have had to wait and sometimes I have gotten things in two weeks.  When I order things from Japan it takes a little less time and I wonder why that is.  I ordered some gifts for friends here for the Christmas season and customs agents opened both items. Urrrggggg
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Shopping!~
Post by: sugar_apple on March 07, 2013, 05:19:43 PM
tula, great if it took just 3 weeks. Last time I ordered something from China it took over a month to  get here (and never less than 3 weeks for sure). For comparison, my latest order from Japan took 3 DAYS. And Japan is actually farther away, what gives. (big packages do take longer though)

See what I order probably only weighs about 6 ounces.  Maybe that is why it doesn't take a month, but also it depends on your seller too.  Sometimes they do not ship it quickly. (This has happened to me very slow to actually put the item in the mail) If they wait a week and then ship well...it will seem like it took a month when in fact based on when they shipped it...it only took 3 weeks.  They lie too, they tell you they ship things on certain days and then come to find out..nope...lol.   I do agree though that its possible to have any international item take a month or longer to ship especially if it gets held up in customs or set aside somehow.  I have had things from Canada take a month or longer and that makes no sense to me.  I have had really good luck with super China sellers, but then again, I only buy from the ones that have lots of feedback and 100% to boot.  A lot of China sellers have issues I don't want to deal with and you can see that in their feedback profile.  There are some really good sellers though and I buy from them over and over because, they are always good.  They even provide tracking numbers for me.

Isn't it kind of hard to get that feeling in a sticker swap?  I've no idea what sticker would be perfection!  Are most people keeping things fairly flat so they can go in a bubble mailer or are you creating a box?  So far I have stickers and some extras that will all fit nicely in a large bubble mailer, but if I find something ridged but perfect, I may upgrade to a box. 
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Shopping!~
Post by: sugar_apple on March 08, 2013, 05:17:56 PM
I'm trying to keep things 'flat enough' so they will fit into a bubble mailer, then add some cardboard for protection I think.

Btw, has anyone ever ordered something from Korea? Just wondering how long shipping usually takes...

Also, I have a question!

Do you like moustache stuff?

I think they're fun xD

Non flatness here. I'm afraid this Easter Bunny is going to have to travel by box.

I am using a box this year. There is no way around it. My extras just won't go in a mailer safely.  Plus I am not sure the stickers would be safe either even if I put them in a cardboard sleeve.

As far as that "it" sticker...it is hard...I hope I got close anyway. We will see.

Mustaches?  No I just can't get into that for some reason.

Things from china/taiwan/hong kong seem to take 2-3 weeks. I have gotten alot of fish supplies from asia and never really had a problem of waiting too long. Ditto for Japan

Im wondering if the pony stickers from russia will get here anytime soon..

Mustache items amuse me but I dont get the world's preoccupation with them. I have some earrings that are loafs of french bread with mustaches and googly eyes

Post by: MidnightMocha on March 08, 2013, 10:47:14 PM


Do you collect anything besides ponies?
Raccoon stuff, owl stuff, nature stuff like nice stones :) I also love cool office supplies!

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras?
I really like cute little figures, or just stuff from your state or country, I'm not choosy :) little useful things like bags, too. I like sparkly and cute things, but I will love anything unique as long as its not a spider (I feel like I shouldn't have to say that but just in case)

Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting?
I don't really use pencils, and I just got a ton of pens, so I think I'm good there :)

Do you have any hobbies?
Yup! I'm a health freak and love yoga and running. I also like to draw and sing.

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?
I do sculpt, but I wouldn't want to trouble anyone with clay since I'm picky about what I use and also it's expensive!

The nice thing about many stuffies is their squish-ability.  I remember getting a stuffie in the mail and thinking "wow, I didn't realize it was so small" until I started pulling it out of the box.  It reminded me of the magician's silk hanky that just keeps on coming.  That or a popple. :)

I'm probably going to either mail in a bubble mailer framed with lots of cardboard or a box, I haven't decided which... 

I'm super frustrated - I set aside a whole bunch of stickers and seem to have misplaced them!  :)  I'm sure I'll find them, it's just irritating when I thought they were with the extras!  I think I read others having this problem too.

I put mine in my "fish supplies" drawer otherwise my mother would get ahold of them and I would never see them again. She gave an $80 pony to a little brat that belongs to my sister's friend, while I was living in another state. The pony has yet to be returned  :enraged:

So today I went to my local thrift store! I always check in every few weeks or so because sometimes they have 80s toys, and VERY RARELY g3 ponies. Today I thought I'd go back in and look through the jumbled mess that is their sewing section.. and guess what I found?
A bag of scrapbooking stuff  :frolic: Inside there were a lot of mostly used up sticker sheets, mostly holiday stuff.. and then, a separate plastic baggy full of unused vintage grossman and sandylion sticker mods!! o___o I'm so happy!! I'm going to send a few to my swap partner as extras, and the rest are going into my collection n__n
(i also got some sick vintage dinosaur iron-on images. I can't wait to put them on a shirt- It'll match my dinosaur backpack!  :lol:)

Ember I am sure it will be okay.  The sticker swap is different that pony swaps where people ask for specific ponies and you know you have the right one.  This its more like themes and brands or characters.  That leaves it a little open.  I am sure your partner will love your box.

Tiki your fish look beautiful.  I miss having fish. I am a huge fan of goldfish.  They are plain and simple. I have actually never had a beta and I ought to try them out sometime.

 :blush: Thanks. They are beautiful, probably becuase they are properly cared for..proper sized tanks with a heater and weekly water changes. Most people seem to think they are happy in a cold, tiny .5 gallon bowl which is not the case.  >_< If you do get one, please get at least a 2 gallon bowl and a heater. They are pretty easy to maintain as long as you do the weekly 100% water change otherwise ammonia will build up and that will cause issues or death. They do not, however need a filter - most are too strong especially in small tanks. Plus bettas like still water with not much current.

They are gorgous fish now but most were looking pretty sad when I got them from Petco or walmart  >_<

I always go over on swaps...I just can't help myself...especially when it comes to things I love to shop for.

It's good to know that I'm doing it right:)  I was only in one other swap a long time ago.  It was a partner exchange swap(we shipped to each other).  I went all out, but my partner probably had to use some very creative accounting to get what she sent me to meet the minimum.  I think she was in a few other swaps, and sent me leftover bits and pieces from them.  I thought I'd just gone a bit too crazy since there wasn't a brag thread for that one so I had no idea what anybody else got, and that sticking strictly to the spending limit was normal:/  This is the first swap I've joined since then, and I'm just trying to to figure it all out:p  I tend to lean on the side of spoiling people when it comes to presents, so her package was a bit of a surprise to me. 

Regardless of what I get, I have had a lot of fun shopping:)  And as a bonus, I found a bunch of fun new places around town that I never knew about!  I really hope my partner likes what I got her:)


I have been all over the place looking for stickers, and I thought I'd share some of my findings for anybody who might be having a hard time finding a decent sticker supply nearby.  I have found a few unexpected places with a pretty decent selection of stickers. 

Target always has a few nice stickers.  Seasonal ones and character stickers are in the card section, usually at the endcaps.  Non seasonal stickers and scrap book style stickers are always near the office supplies/wrapping paper area.

Party supply stores often have sticker favors that you won't find other places.

Bookstores can be a good source if they carry other stationary items.

Hallmark Cards actually has their own line of stickers, and they're actually pretty fun!  I found a few really nice sets there:)

Dollar stores can have some interesting selections, depending on the dollar store.

I checked TRU and found a few packs of stickers by the party supplies.  Lot of character stickers there.

Drug stores and super markets are another place you can find small clusters of stickers.  Usually by the card section, sometimes by the seasonal items.

I think I'm pretty much done shopping. I might make another trip to the sticker store to pick up a couple of things I didn't get the first time, and I have some stuff on order in the mail.    I was just laying everything out, and boy did I go over budget! Did anyone else go  crazy with the stickers and the extras, or was it just me?
:p

yeah, i ended up going overboard as well. It's a fun swap to shop for.

I tried all of these options  :cry: I did get some neat ones from target but they dont really go with what my partner asked for and I found some at yankee dollar store but you can tell by the quality that they are from a discount store, didn't see any in TRU - seen wrapping paper and ribbons but no stickers, walmart - wasn't impressed but did find G4 stickers  ^.^, Rite Aid - they used to have a nice stationary section bac in the 90's but not so much now and..I could probably try hallmark store in the mall. Maybe what I am looking for just dosen;t exist anymore. Back in the day, I could find tons of sticers by hallmark or American Greetings, now I see them only on ebay  :cry: eh, maybe i'll try etsy

Well, I work at Hallmark, so my partner is getting some of those most definitely. My store is also in a mall with an Archiver's Scrapbooking store, so I hit that up too. I get paid this week so I haven't done much shopping yet. I don't think I've even hit the min yet but alot of that is clever shopping. Hope to spoil my partner this week.

OK, so I went overboard on stickers and now I'm  in the "extras" shopping phase for my partner. This is my first swap, so I hope my selection is good.

Here's a question: How do you store or display your stickers? In a box, album, scrapbook?
I have not had many stickers since my childhood when I kept them in a sticker album. Now I only have a few that I use in my journal (which is kind of turning into a scrap book). I'll probably start keeping them in a pretty photo box as I get more.

Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Shopping!~
Post by: tulagirl on March 12, 2013, 09:58:26 AM
Okay well I changed my mind on the deco tape.  I think that stuff is pretty cute even in the narrow style.  A friend of mine sent me a letter and I got to see how she was using it.  So, I saw the stuff is probably more useful than I originally thought.  Neato Kawaii deco tape. 

Here's a question: How do you store or display your stickers?

I store mine in envelopes by theme and in a plastic container.  That way when I want say, hippo stickers...I go to the wild animal envelope and easily can reach those stickers.  I keep my vintage stickers in a special place separate from the others. :)

Hello Kitty, hmmm, I have already so many stickers of this kitty that I really don't need more, buuut yay for sanrio in general (my favourite is Cinnamoroll, that cute white dog or whatever xD)

I store my stickers in storage drawers, one drawer full of stickers and another half full mixed with other cute stuff :D oh and I also have a shoebox full of vintage stickers I got from my aunt

I have lots of hello kitty stickers I think because she is so easy to find merch of. Anything else sanx or sanrio is fair game.

I really don't store mine. I use em either for packages to be mailed or on stuff like my laptop etc... Whatever isn't in use get's placed in a little plastic holder where my stationary is.

I dont really display mine since i use them for letters and things xD I store them in a variety of places lol. most of them are organized into small tubs by theme, my flakes and cut outs and various other smaller stickers i store in those plastic pencil boxes :p

2. according to oneself like of pattern, choice in keeping with of place lightly a stick."

I'm done as far as meeting (and exceeding a bit) the minimum with my partners wish list.  But I still plan on going to some local shops for more stickers and for extras. So I'm not really done.

I won't be able to do all that until next week or so.  I'm really stretched thin this week and next week. Actually I'm feeling pretty awful and stressed out. It will be better in a week or so I hope.

I think I am done with buying stickers. I scoured walmart with a fine tooth comb and found stickers in several locations plus I am waiting on some from ebay. I really wish the funky G3's from Russia would get here...

Is opening up the package and sending one or two sheets out of it frowned upon? I got this one packet from walmart and I would like to keep one sheet for myself instead of buying a new packet since they were a bit pricy at $4 for only 2 small sheets...

Tiki for some of your stickers you can send singles just not all of the stickers.  So one or two single sheets there is nothing wrong with that.  Wouldn't it be funny if you ended up with some in your swap box?  This happened to me last year. I found a set of stickers and ended up buying them only to get them in my box ROFLOL.

I am now done. I got the last items in the mail...all is wrapped too.  I can't wait to see what my partner thinks of her box. :biggrin:

Yea I have noticed a trend with ebay sellers that they unpack stickers and sell just one sheet.  However it is common for some stickers to be only one sheet even in their package.  I think you will be fine as long as the bulk is packaged. I have several that are not packaged but there is a reason for that as that is how they come to begin with.  Before you change your idea there write True and send her a photo. I am sure she can tell you better than me. :)

Oh yea if they are vintage thats totally different really.  Vintage stickers are very special...even one sheet.  Was it a USA seller?  Good grief that is high.  I wonder if they are just charging that because its what they want for the stickers.  Like say they start them at 1.00 but they want at least 3.00 and it costs 1.00 to ship then they tack on that high shipping rate?  If its international it may be a normal rate.

Japanese stickers are higher anyway.  They can be like 3-4 dollars for just one sheet.  I know what you mean, the Japanese are sticker kings.

Yes check the first page swap information where the dates are for shipping.  I have not done this with a swap either.  Each swap is different and the swap hosts have different ways of doing things.  It seems like each swap I am in something new is in the rules.  Like I was in one where we could not post links to our wanted list.  I had to put my whole list in the thread. That was new and unusual to me.  I just put my stickers in a pile on the table and snapped one photo. I didn't photograph my extras.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~Shopping!~
Post by: True on March 15, 2013, 11:47:00 PM
yep the midpoint check in does require a photo. You are only required to take a photo of the stickers you have now, you can add in photos of extras if you like, and you do NOT have to be finished shopping for stickers. like I said this is only a mid point check in. Just one picture with your stickers on a table is fine.

i know it says the week of the 17th, but you can send them starting now if you like. Please PM me only, do not post pictures of swap stickers in this thread! :P My partner please send your photo to kaoskat, and shell let me know youve sent it. ^^

Tiki I think you're fine, but if you're still not sure, PM me and we can figure it out.

I am definitely re-writing this swap info next year because the "per sticker" price is a little confusing and I think unnecessary. I think its just going to be a flat price "spend this much on stickers" weather it be brand new or vintage so long as its a full sheet at the very least,  and anything from your personal collection will be considered extras. I have more details to hammer out but i think that might make things a little bit easier.

I'm so excited to pack everything up I can hardly stand it!!

This is my second (or maybe third) swap- the first one, I was such a n00b...I didn't understand how much we spoil each other here, so I sent a really sad gift because I just didn't know what to do, not because I don't love spoiling people!

Well, I'm redeeming myself this time!

Question- I know giftwrapping is a requirement for other swaps. Do we have to giftwrap individual items?

I'm definitely making mine like a present, but I'm not wrapping single items- instead it's all packed in a festive box with wrapping paper. Then there's tissue paper on the inside, and then the items. Does that work?
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~check-in~
Post by: Marigold on March 20, 2013, 12:19:07 PM
Honestly, as much as I love a pretty looking box, and I do plan on making my box nicely put together, I do not want my partner to wrap all the stickers individually.  I'd rather they go into one bundle, or box, or sleeve and then wrap that.  Or like what you just described.

I do plan on wrapping the extras separate if they have some bulk to them.  But otherwise, I think it would be too much paper used to wrap a bunch of very flat items. 




I keep seeing more stickers my partner would like...I want to buy them all.

I'm still waiting on the long distance items to get here.  I hope they hurry up.  All of my extras are taking a long time to get here. 
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~check-in~

I'm not wrapping my sticker lot. I put mine into one big sleeve and will decorate that :) The extras will be wrapped though.

its totally up to you! ^^ I will probably do like i did last year, I wrapped them up in groups. mainly "swap stickers" all wrapped up together and then "extra" stickers wrapped up together and then did all the extras separate. then I shoved them all in a tote and then in a big enough mailer and sent them on there way xD. ill be doing the same thing this year!

Hey, don't worry about it! Handmade items are totally awesome! I know I love that a lot, it's usually those things I'll keep around forever and be like, "Look what a complete stranger made for ME! Isn't the Arena awesome?"

As a student, I know what it is to not be able to spoil people even though you want to have fun and help out a little. That was how my very first swap went- I didn't understand that people here tend to really go all out, but I thought I was making someone happy by finding something they had wanted plus some candy. Apparently, it was seen as stingy, though I totally didn't mean it that way at all! I know that as long as it's coming from the heart, any of us would really love it :) Some of us can spend more than others and that shouldn't be part of the 'fun' of the swap!
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~check-in~
Post by: tulagirl on March 20, 2013, 06:06:43 PM
This is why there is a minimum so you know what to spend and its not expected to go past the minimum...even if everyone else is.  Handmade items are in my box too.

also got my last set of stickers for the swap and I kinda missed the part of the auction that said they are WALL stickers  :shocked: so someone out there is getting 6 rather large stickers. They would look nice on a notebook or a computer..or a wall, I suppose.

*steals Dr who DVD's*

Ooh, wall stickers and a Dr Who fan... you may be my new best friend.  ;)  I don't get Dr Who on my measly tv so I only get to watch it on dvd.  I'm currently only on the specials, thought I've bought all but Season 7.  I know what I'm doing on Easter Break.  I think wall stickers are an ok oopsy, as far as oopsies go.  :biggrin:

Hey Tiki (and fellow swap buddies) :biggrin:, this is my fish Jadie.  She loves ponies as you can see. I put a new one out for her to visit every day.  She is a female. I fell in love with her over the males in the store.  I don't know why. I know she isn't as fancy, but she has such personality.  She loves the dog too.  The cat visits her every day and she swims where he is and stays close to him.  She just so much fun.  I did everything you suggested. I have a heater and a 2 gallon or 2.5 gallon tank.  It has a green lid.  We are really having fun with her.

 :lovey: She is lovely and is very lucky to get such a nice home WITH a heater  ^.^
She looks to be still fairly young too. As she gets older, those black stripes (called stress stripes) will go away and her fins should open up more  - its most likely caused by poor water quality from being in the cup in the store. I picked up a new girl on Thrusday too  :cheer: :cheer: and named her fluttershy since she is yellow. She is also pretty young and still has those stress stripes (which is common in babies/juvies but means something is stressing them out if they should up when they are adults).

This link provides some basic betta care info (I would ignore anythign about getting stuff to test the water and filters/cycling, unless you plan on upgrading to a bigger tank)
http://www.bettafish.com/showthread.php?t=49160

i have a few tanks like that too - I think the large ones are 2.5-3 gallons which is a nice home for them.

There is a pretty neat betta forum at Bettafish.com
Kinda like the arena but for bettas, its actually a sub forum on its parent site tropicalfishkeeping.com (but I seldom visit that side since I dont have other species). You will find all sorts of helpful info and there is a cheat thread in the lounge section called coffeehouse chat - which is basically a bunch of randomness. Its pretty awsome

And now back to your regular scheduled sticker swap  ^.^
PS - don't forget the weekly  water changes  :satisfied:

Yes tiki I had already visited that site.  It really helped me.  I was surprised though how expensive setting it up would be.  I just love her though.  I think I had a beta as a child but it did not live past three days.  I have always loved goldfish.  This is a fun adventure.  Now I need to find some beta stickers roflol.

I found that site while trying to figure out why I would get a healthy fish and it would be dead 24 hours later. I didn't know about the need for water conditioner  and near as I can tell, they were dying from some kind of poisioning :cry:

I found my first tank (one of those 5 gallon aqueon bow front tanks) at value village for like $11  ^.^ But sadly I killed him because the idiot at petco told me if I had a filter, I never needed to change the water >_<

Post by: True on March 24, 2013, 05:28:56 PM
they are surprise erasers, i bought some for myself and thought they were so cute i would get some for my partner as a cheap extra.
I got the music and cookie one in my pack, I thought they were adorable, even though I dont usually collect blindbag eraser things :P hopefully my partner likes whatever two they get xD

Post by: True on March 25, 2013, 02:24:42 PM
oh my gosh! I didnt even realize what day it was! I should have had addresses out by yesterday! I'm so sorry everyone Im getting them ready to mail RIGHT NOW! >.<

ETA: OK everyone should have an address! I know you all already knew your partners arena name, but i copied the whole first part of the apps in for your address. I did this, so youll know right away if I sent you the wrong address xD. If you got a username the was wrong you have the wrong address, so PM me right away. Im sure I sent them all out RIGHT but I'm just paranoid is all lol.

also if you're not done shopping, or are waiting for a couple of things, THATS  FINE! you still have a lot of time before the shipping deadline! ^^

ARGH.  Tried to ship and the child behind the counter (seriously like, high school) couldn't even do his job.  The lady in front of me had 2 parcel slips for pickup.  He looks at her, says, "There's a lot of packages back there... what do you expect me to do?  Look, we'll be closed tomorrow but open again Saturday so stop panicking... you can come back Saturday."  I just couldn't trust him to mail my parcel with all the tracking and forms to be filled out if he couldn't even match a lady's name to 2 boxes in the back room.

ARGH.  I will be going to a different post office on Saturday.  Meanwhile I have the manager's number and name and I will be speaking with her tomorrow morning.

o.o omg wth? um if a post office person told me to come back in a couple days, id ask to see a manager or something... thats just incredibly rude! do post office people not understand that in a lot of cases its more then one person relying on the post office to do their job? i mean people get bad reps for late things. :/ hopefully the other office gives you a bit more respect.

Post by: tulagirl on April 01, 2013, 09:27:33 PM
The shipping date is March 25-April 31st.  International allow for two weeks so I know I would ship two weeks before deadline for that.

Most special sticker ever????? Man I can't wait to see that brag. I am totally curious about that awesome little box of something special....

checked everyone whos already sent in a check in photo. and no rush if you cant right away, you have a week to send them in. ^^

I might take a vote after everyone's sent in there image to see if we might want to pull the shipping date back a little bit. to me it seems like most of us are done shopping, with a few exceptions xD (myself included)

However....

ok I dont really know what i was thinking when I wrote that particular dead line, it IS April 30th xD, you have all of april to ship, i wanted to give people plenty of time.

I'm not even ready to ship yet -_- I thought I was DONE, but i made the mistake of going to ebay and having a quick look around, I have a couple things now that will be here this week that I need to add xD but I think my partner will really like these stickers haha.

True its totally fine to have that  shipping date.  I usually shop quickly and can be done in rapid speed.  Then other times a list is harder and I need more time.  It makes sense to have more time for those that need it.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~shipping~
Post by: True on April 01, 2013, 11:01:16 PM
oh i just meant because i put april 31st instead of 30 xD there are only 30 days in april so i think it confused people and maybe they thought i MEANT to say march 31st haha. that would have only given everyone a week to ship.

on that note, im really sorry if some people got confused and shipped really early because they only thought they had a week >.<

on a somewhat related note... im getting very nostalgic over the vintage sandy lion felted stickers >.< I wish they didnt stop making those, they were always my favorite. (tries not to buy buckets of them) xD

Yea I needed to get mine sent too.  I don't like holding on to my boxes for a long time and since you said we could ship when we got our name....thats what I wanted to do and planned for it.  I didn't realize there were only 30 days this month.  Sloooooow me.

I don't know!  But it has happened to me too. Even just going across the state.  I've also tracked a letter to my destination city and then it reversed and went half way across the US before return to the city. 

Give it time I guess. At least you have a tracking number so if you need to call hem they can look for it.

PO has a funny way of updating/scanning. I've been waiting on a package from Hong Kong and the last update I got was when it was at a sort faculty in Hong Kong on the 27th of March. I get the package today with an updated status of 'at Wyoming sorting'

I like keeping track of my packages and it irritates me when they don't scan them when they should.

Its driving me mad becuase I mailed it a week ago tomorrow and it was SUPPOSED to go priority mail. Yet the items I sent 1st class mail were already delivered   :mad: Well one of them says out for drlivery on 4/1 but was never updated to delivered.

My postal lady (who is awesome) told me that even if your package has a tracking #, the PO is not obligated to scan it for updates. It's a courtesy. They only have to scan it when it's dropped off & when it's delivered. Only EMS mail has to be scanned in and out at each stop it makes. I've tried tracking packages that disappeared for days with no updates, then they suddenly show up. The postal service is pretty reliable about delivering things eventually. They just get slow sometimes, and it's tax time so there's more mail in April.

That's just unbelievable really.  Its stuff like that ... that causes our packages to go missing.  When they treat things in that way and all the contents fall out, how can they deliver it.  Makes me wonder if that is what has happened to half the items I ordered that never arrived.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~shipping~
Post by: tikibirds on April 05, 2013, 05:53:37 PM
I dont get how items can get lost, I mean your address is on the package. However i have read stories of how an letter falls behind something during sorting and gets discovered decades later and delivered.

I am releived it was sent back and not lost biut not happy to have to pay another $10 to reship.
Since the wall stickers are so tall, I think I am going to cut them up this time so everything will fit into a small box. Its the ful sheet, just cut into segments.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~shipping~
Post by: HawaiianRain on April 05, 2013, 06:16:48 PM
I'm just curious as to WHY it was sent back to begin with. Was the address off by a letter or number or did they pull another one of those 'address really does not exist things' when actually it does?

I've had a card returned because i put apartment instead of apt before the actual apt number lol
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~shipping~
Post by: tikibirds on April 05, 2013, 09:44:24 PM
My fault actually.

I left out the street name and just had the house # and the word ST  :blush:

How they can tell me a zip code is incorrect but they didnt notice the street name was missing, I shall never know

'address really does not exist things' when actually it does?

I used to work inside the Grand Canyon National Park and I would get that ALL THE TIME. Some popular online store - think it was Amazon.com - would tell me that my zip code did not exist.  >_<
I had ordered internet or my room and OMG - I wanted to throttle the dude I was talking with. The conversation went someething like this:
Quest Com.: Where are you located?
Me: Grand Canyon National Park
Quest: What town?
Me: The Grand Canyon
Quest: What?
Me: THE BIG ASS WHOLE IN THE GROUND IN NORTHERN ARIZONA - You can see it from space..!
Quest: That does not exist
  :argh:

I think Quest was even located IN arizona  -_-

Wow, what an idiot!  OK wait.... did you personally take that to your PO and your PO did not catch that mistake? Mine come after me if I forget the return address or incorrect area code for a city. they should of caught that!

I got my box!  I will take a bunch of pictures and brag as soon as I can. Might have to be tomorrow. 

My partner was Lovesbabysquirmy. I love baby squirmy too!  She found some really interesting stickers I have never seen. And included dachshunds!  I almost bought these for myself!

Yup. I physically went to the PO to mail the stickers AND the random swap package to Wiccanpony. As soon as I walked in, I should of went to another PO because they had the "hippie guy" behind the counter and I don;t now what his issue is, but it takes him literally over 20 minutes to enter in whatever they enter in their computer for international packages. Since its a small town of 2,000 people- there is usually only 1 person behinf the counter at a time and a line was forming. He as getting very annoyed with the package going to England. Maybe by the time he finished with it, he just didnt care anymore? Behind me was a dude with a big package going to Canada so I am assuming that didn;t make him very happy either.

Just stopping by to say 'hi' and let you all know that on Thursday I'm heading out to Disneyworld for the first time!  I've never done either of the Disney's so it's kind of exciting.  A friend is getting married there so I'm making a vacay of it.  So... I'll be away if my parcel happens to come before the 26th, but if my partner hasn't sent yet, then that works out well. :biggrin:

Hi guys!! I have a question ;)

I have a sack of these yum yums sticker flakes that I've opened up, and they're sooo cute! But I prefer to have a variety in my collection, sooo...
I was wondering if any of you had any sticker flake packs too, and maybe you'd like to trade some of yours for some of mine? ;3c That way we both get some new stickers!! <3

sugar_apple, I love cute animals and sweets! i like q-lia, and mindwave especially, but I like everything mostly :)

I second that.  Unless my partner was disappointed with my box presentation (and if so, please let me know so I can improve), it's not about how the big box looks, it's what's inside it that counts.  And when it has no card with it and we all know it's from Tikibirds, we'll know it's special. ;) :lol: :P

Out of curiosity, how many of you will use your stickers?  I am most likely to keep some as is, but I do use certain ones for letters, swap box decorations, and such. 
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~shipping~

I use my stickers! On packages and letters, but most importantly in my journal. I try to pick stickers that match the mood or feel of my journal entries, or if I'm depressed I use them to cheer me up.
Title: Re: Sticker Swap ~shipping~
Post by: True on April 19, 2013, 08:21:07 AM
Well i was finally able to ship. :l im really annoyed that i had to wait so long, but I just couldn't do it earlier.

I also sealed it and forgot to add a card xD so had to open it up and re-seal it, which meant i also threw in a couple more things that I didnt have time to wrap, but they were just little extras I thought my partner might like.

also just a reminder to everyone who still need to ship, you have till the end of the month, which gives you about a week and a half.

Did you happen to scan your document and send it to True for proof of shipping? It might be in your sent folder if so. I always do this so I have a copy of my stuff. I am notorious for losing forms.  Maybe its under a bunch of papers on your desk or in a basket around your desk? I am sorry you are concerned. I hope everything works out fine.

How was Disney? Did you have a blast? :)

Disney was great!  I went for a friend's wedding and it was lovely.  She had her wedding in a gazebo, was brought there and left in a glass carriage pulled by 6 white ponies.  She had her reception in Epcot in a restaurant with glass windows looking into an aquarium and a dessert party later at night with a front row seat for the nightly fireworks.  She got more pics taken yesterday at the Magic Kingdom before they opened.  She had a 2 am hair appointment for it!

We did all 4 parks but didn't have enough time to do all of every park, there's just soooo much to see and do.  It was wonderful.  We just happened to be at Animal Kingdom on it's 15th Birthday and Earth Day so I picked up three of the limited edition collector pins for any Disney pin collectors who may wish to buy them off me but they're nice enough I don't mind keeping them.

I got lots of souvenirs, and my mouseketeer ear hat with my name on it that I wanted since I was a wee little thing.  I'd go back for sure!

Hey everyone xD So about the teaser picture I posted above. I'm sure its pretty obvious to all of you that there is one of those for each of you. When you do receive your envelop. weather you love or hate what iv put inside, please DO NOT leave me feedback. It was just something I thought up at the last minute and really wanted to do for everyone, and I'm not sure getting 13 feedback's for the same thing would be allowed. (and besides it only took me 2 days to put them together haha)
(also if the colors seem wrong... I'm sorry I used actual colors, but when they printed some of them came out much darker)

ANYWAY! Speaking of feedback, PLEASE remember to leave appropriate feedback for the person who sent you stickers! If you have a "+" by your name it means you've already left feedback. When the last box arrives I'll start sending out PM's to the people who have yet to do this. :P

You know I don't know what it is but even at my age when characters come near me I run lol.  I don't know if its a phobia or what and my dh  is a huge costumer.  His stuff does not bother me like furry critters walking up. Roflol

I think Tula yours was one of them that turned out much darker then it should have when it printed lol xD

I did all of this in like a whole day, so it was sort of last minute, and I wanted it to be a surprise. (even if i had to ask a few of your for references hahaha xD)

I do have the original digital images saved that you can use in a signature here if you like, just let me know and ill send them. future adoptable project xD

By the way, do you mind if I shorten your name to Truly like I did in the other post?  I don't want to call you something you hate. I just thought it was a fun change from True.

I hear you, it's pretty far to travel and you'd have been disappointed when you got here cause the whole building is locked up and there's no real place to just drop an envelope. :)  You still rock.
