~~ Make A Wish (List) Swap ~~ Complete - THANK YOU EVERYONE!

[lochnessmomster]

Dear Partner, I sure hope you don't mind themes... 'cause I am going overboard with the one I chose for you!  There will be at least a couple items that don't fit in simply because I knew you wanted them and couldn't resist... but otherwise, prepare to be bombarded with your chosen theme.  You've been warned!

Eeek, I'm behind again! 

Smokey ponies are ok, but please ship them in a separate box. 

Hair cuts are never an issue:)

More ponies than extras is also fine with me!!

I will let you all know that I have 4 beautiful ponies for my partner right now.  I will aim for 2 more ponies, but not sure if I'll be able to get them both.  I haven't started on extras yet, nor have I even thought about wrapping paper!  You guys are all way ahead of me, so don't be so worried!! 

[Marigold]

I'm nervous too.  I worry I have too few ponies OR too many to send!  I worry that my extras are not good enough!  I worry my partner is going to go "eek!  Why did you send me this?!" to one of my silly extras that I couldn't help but to add in. 

But most of all!!!  I worry that the person buying for me is worrying!  Please don't worry!  I will be thrilled with anything you choose for me!  These ponies will be so special to me regardless of any flaws because they came from YOU and this is my first swap.  So I am going to be a very gleeful happy girl when your swap arrives.  Don't worry one bit over anything!

Dear Partner,

I love, love, love every minute of getting to shop and scheme and plan for your happiness.  It is so fun and rewarding.

Dear Swappers Who've Made This a 70+ Thread,

I love you.  Seriously, you're charming and quirky and adorable and thoughtful and funny and so incredibly, outrageously, extraordinarily generous.  I wish I could send something to every last one of you.  <3  You're so dear!

[Marigold]

I agree with you!  It would be wonderful to send something to everyone!

[lochnessmomster]

Phewf, I'm within budget!  It's a spending limit of £35, right? 

[RedLynx]

That would be a fun swap....if it was smaller.  I find myself seeing things for everyone while shopping.  Actually I've picked up at least one item and then realized that I'd noticed it because someone else noted it!

RAOPK address exchange!  Group hug!

Edit: Can I just say you guys are seriously awesome - all the worry and nervousness about your sending box being the most important part of the swap for you - this just makes me warm and fuzzy inside with how much thought and care you are all putting in! So cool...

I love you.  Seriously, you're charming and quirky and adorable and thoughtful and funny and so incredibly, outrageously, extraordinarily generous.  I wish I could send something to every last one of you.  <3  You're so dear!

Damn right I'm awesome!    :ducks fakies, pillows, dragons, and water balloons::  Seriously though...you are so right.  You all rock.  C: C: C:  Signing up on the Arena was one of the best things I ever did online!  : D

Themes are awesome!!

35 pounds eh?    That seems to be a bit more in dollars! 

[lochnessmomster]

35 pounds eh?    That seems to be a bit more in dollars! 

Yeaaaaah.  About that.... I kinda sorta maybe just a teeny bit lost track of how quickly my purchases were tallying up.  And those darn conversion rates.  It sounds like a lot less when you're working in pounds. 

[Rosette]

Gah!

I found a pair of ponies.  One had a blue bit of ink on her face.  Annoying, but not a fatal flaw.  Certainly fixable and worth sending with the other, even if just as a place holder until my partner gets a better version.  The other of the pair, I realized today at the pony spa, has a factory error and is missing two hair plugs.

Back to the pony market and auction houses I go.  :p

However, I do seem to be accumulating quite a few ponies on this swap business that aren't quite the condition I'd thought/hoped/intended.  ;D

[hyenacub]

Factory errors are fun often!  At least in the G1s.  What is the error?

Yeah ,money conversions are the pits! LOL  It would be easy and convenient if the whole world had the same money.  But then there would not be so many awesome foreign coins for me to collect!  I love coins.  Foreign or not.

[Daiyuflower]

I will be sending 4 ponies (still waiting for one to arrive) and I think I have my extras all assembled.  Now I just need edible goodies ^_^

[Shenanigans]

You guys are all so awesome, I agree! I love you! The Arena is the best place for sure

To my partner - I will love anything and everything you get me! I'm so very excited to see what you'll send me and to know you picked out each thing with me in mind and thought of me so often makes me truly happy!

[Rosette]

Factory errors are fun often!  At least in the G1s.  What is the error?

Not-so-fun as a wonky eye or two tails or extra tinsel or something.  The factory error *is* the missing two hair plugs.  The holes are smaller than the rest, looks like they never had hair in there to begin with.
