Back in late May, Solsticeadam and I decided to do a private color swap. We both chose the color blue. want to see the lovely ponies and other goodies I received?
First, here is what I saw when I opened the box:

Once the fabric was carefully put away, the box looked like this:

To keep things a bit more manageable, here is a group shot of all the treats and extras (minus the fabric, since I gave it a shot of its own):

Rarity and a Sailor Moon figure which is now on the opposite side of my DS from my Sailor Venus one).

(Note: Why on earth did I think it was Rini? Her hair is pink.
Shows how long it's been since I actually saw the cartoon. I need to buy the DVDs they are releasing of it.)

First we have...

Next up is...

I wanted this pony as part of my collection because Moon Dance was the original title of my first book. I also have a moon goddess as one of the main characters in my Camp project, which is from the same series.
And then I opened...

loginBanana Surprise! (Whom I keep calling Banana Cream Pie for some reason--I even put her next to Coco Berry. Possibly because my other dog's nickname is Pie?) Either way, she's my second Sundae Best pony, which puts me another step closer to completing this set. I love the pose she is in; she has a very sweet expression.
And last, but not least...

This is another pony who was chosen for the Moon theme when I put her on my want list. I'm absolutely thrilled to have her on the shelf with the rest of my g1s now. She's next to Princess Sparkle.
Here is the card Solsticeadam made:

And last, but not least, here is a shot of everything together:
