Post by: Dewprincess on December 09, 2013, 05:01:33 AM
I'm so glad you liked your package!!

Actually, I did know you wanted a Swift Heart...I did some snooping around and found an alternate wishlist that said you were looking for a 2005 small Swift Heart Rabbit plush.  I wasn't sure if you meant this version or the Play Along troll hair version, but I've been downsizing some of my collections and this was one I was questioning whether to part with or not...once I saw you wanted it, it was no question that he was meant to be yours :)

What an awesome box of pony goodness, kaoskat! I love the kitten themed card and the puzzle and stickers! I love Northern Lights, too. She's such a pretty pony and in one of my favorite colors--- purple! Surprise was my favorite childhood pony too and brings back very fond 80s memories. Amazing way to start this thread. :lovey:  Congrats on all the goodies! :heart:

Post by: Tilas on December 12, 2013, 07:27:03 AM
Got my box from Blondee1982 today! As I mentioned in the swap thread, the box you shipped everything in was evil and cruel as you nearly gave my mother a heart attack when she picked it up. "Something you want to tell me?" A box covered in things like "family hood", "diaper.com", "baby", etc? Not cool man. Not cool.  :P

Seriously though, I opened it and I love all the presents, thank you SO much! You're totally fueling my Pinkie obsession, and the herd grows! So many awesome Pinkie things, I love the Funko Pop figure! And my first Equestria Girl! :D And the scarf will be great cause it's a total blizzard outside!

Of course, as I was opening things Garfield just had to come see what I was doing. Nosy cat is nosy!  :lol:

The first thing I opened was the cutest christmas hedgehog for my puppy.  Relay grabbed him out of my hands as soon as I tested out the squeaker and the hedgehog now lives with his favorite toys.

So glad you liked your box and everything arrived safely!!!! It took me a bit to track down the Wing Wishes Blossomforth set that wasn't outrageously priced.  :P  lol 

Relay is such a cutie! I'm glad he enjoyed his hedgehog. My dog loves his squeakers so I was hoping yours would, too.  :)

Happy Holidays, Cricket!

I followed the directions and open each one as directed.
Fist was a really Cool bunny Card, this one is going with my other bunny card collection.
( by the way the dragon is perfect idea for the painting I'm putting on my kids Castle bunk bed)
Next was some Yummy Dark chocolate, then it got better with the Dark Chocolate Mint Flute ( these are to DIE FOR!!!  :heart:)
A really cute flashy riendeer brooch, fun purple tinsel for the tree,  some Christmas Pudding ( which I have never had, holding off till after dinner for this one.. can't wait). Santa sucker,  lip balm ( which I need due to this dry climit).  :hearts:.
Another Really cool bunny to add to my Collection.  And the  Legos which my son snagged soon as her got home from school. I will be retrieving and hiding those after he goes to bed  :ninja:

Then I opened Baby Toe Dancer and was Totally Excited!!!! I have been trying to get her for over a year now. Woohoo I now have my baby  Ballerina ponies complete!!! :newpony:

I was so happy to get my swap box from kaoskat! ^_^ A surprise is such a wonderful treat this time of year! As soon as I got home from the post office I rushed and spread all the pretty goodies out. I LOVE all the different MLP wallpaper!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


So I started opening all my goodies... and what a haul! Kaoskat really outdid herself this year, especially with extras!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Here's all my candy--I didn't even know Land o Lakes made hot cocoa! XD I can't wait to try some. And what's this? A sneaky little raccoon snuck into the stocking of snacks! Haha! And as you can see, I already got into the Ghirardelli boxes. >.>

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


And here we have some lovely extras! First of all, I LOVE the card. It's gorgeous. Unicorns are totally my fave! And those ornaments are to die for! The snowflake is so pretty, and WOW that ceramic origami crane--I LOVE it! And also thanks for the little candles! The glittery tealight holder is so cute!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


And here's my ponies! Cupcake is the last of the G4 singles I needed, I'm happy she's here to complete my collection! With her little raccoon buddy of course, who is very photogenic. And I finally finished my set of G3.5 Rainbow Dash newborns! Now I have her in all 3 poses! ^_^ The activity book is cute too, thanks.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Last but not least, the pièce de résistance!! Eeeeeeeeee a gorgeous G3 Rainbow Dash Breezie!!! XD Oh man she's so awesome! This is definitely the favorite piece of my swap box. The Breezies are one of my fave breeds of ponies, but one thing that always made me very sad was that their heads are made of different plastic so it never matches their bodies... (Much like the G4's...) But never fear! The solution is to do a custom and make sure the body and head are the same shade! Huzzah! I can't believe kaos got the tiny details painted in so well--not to mention rehairing that little pony head and pony butt! XD And the wings! They actually look like real honest-to-goodness lace Breezie wings! Omg this is one fabulous custom.

Thank you so much kaoskat, I really love everything!! ^___^

wow dragonflitter, i'm loving your box :biggrin:  i'd be terrified of sending glass candles in the mail in case they got broken but those fared really well, I bet they smell great too ;)

Yes it was packaged very well! :) The blue glittery holder and the ornaments are all plastic, only the blue candle is glass. Kaos is good at choosing things to mail and packaging them to ship!

Yes it was packaged very well! :) The blue glittery holder and the ornaments are all plastic, only the blue candle is glass. Kaos is good at choosing things to mail and packaging them to ship!

LOL Comes from years of shipping customs. You learn how to manipulate the packages into the box in ways so they don't move and are next to things that won't hurt and will even protect the more fragile stuff. I was actually most worried about that snowflake ornament, not the candle.

And those are the cutest stickers like paper doll stickers! Cutest card ever! And "mysterious package" hand lotion which is so very nice. I sense a penguin theme :D
Thank you evil muffins for my first sock swap box I can't wait for next year's!

So much pony goodness. I was just checking out the brags here. :)  I really love that cross and angel ornament with Believe on it. Very nice!  And all the treats!! wow  So let me post the pics of my amazing swap box...
*snip*
Thank you so much Swift Heart Babbit! You put together an amazing box!
I hope you have a Very Merry Christmas!

You are very welcome! Glad you liked everything. Hoppy is a favorite of mine, so I was glad to be able to find one for you, too. :) Ciara is so adorable. Hope she has lots of fun with the poms. They are a favorite of my gang, especially Grey, who is blind. He loves the to hear the noise of the poms when you roll them between you fingers, and will dunk them in his water dish and yell at them after he hunts them down. :3

Love how this page is pretty much all fantastic brags! Keep 'em coming!

I just started with the dogtags and Fluttershy is my favorite so I'm happy to have her! I laughed at the disguise packaging-- she was wrapped in a blind bag :)

Here are the ponies:

My poor Tattles was missing her twin Rattles so they are happily reunited!
Baby Sunnybunch is adorable and SS Bouncy is a good step in the direction of completing the first round of So Soft ponies!

Everything all together:

I'm so glad you enjoyed your package, nessy! I was worried you wouldn't like it. :blush: I didn't have any dog tag bags lying around but I did find a spare blind bag bag so into the bag it went! XD

And whew, you have no idea how anxious it is when buying MLP baby twins! They are SO alike I worry about buying the wrong one! Haha but thankfully it was Rattles who arrived to my house, not her twin. ;)

I didn't even know Care Bears had blind bags. o.o Hopefully it's not the same character in both bags! I was really tempted to open them myself, but I resisted. XD

So I finally got to a computer to download my goody photos  :biggrin:
I got an awesome sock swap box from  Mirnyj !!!
Here is my littlest trying to steal the goody box.

Inside found some beautifully wrapped presents. ( that candy candy was snagged by my oldest before I even opened one present.) Loved the pretty ribbon.

Hidden in that pretty wrapping was some Monster high socks. A pair of purple striped socks. One pair that looks knitted and the purplish/pink pair that are so comfy. :P
I got an adorable bunny for my collection and DARK CHOCOLATE!!!!!  I'm so in heaven right now.

Yay! So good to hear the box got to you safely!  ^.^ The knit socks are handmade by me and I hope the pink socks aren't too pink. You can imagine how I felt when a couple of days after I had shipped they had the same socks in dark purple at the store.  :doh: In case you were wondering: the girl is a Moomin character called The Mymble, a hopeless romantic and Little My's older sister. :lol:

My box came today from gypsyunicorn! Our post lady handed the package off to me and said "someone wrote the most lovely message on this box!" I saw all the pony decorations and I knew my swap box had arrived  ^.^

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

-A cute G4 cup that is currently holding all the wonderful candies she sent me ^_^
-Little Care Bear figures! Are these the Care Bear versions of blind bag ponies? I love them!
-A pretty stocking monogrammed with my initial in silver (it had a lump of coal in it lol!) How did you know I'd been naughty, gypsy?  :P
-A Jack Skellington ornament that her husband painted, it even has its own padded box! He did a great job painting it, Tim Burton would be proud! This is my very first Nightmare Before Christmas ornament  :biggrin:
-A darling porcelain MLP figurine, I always wanted one of these! I see another collection in the making lol
-An 80's porcelain unicorn ornament, I would have picked her out myself if I'd seen her. She's standing on a peppermint and has a peppermint striped horn, she's all kinds of awesome and she knows it  ^.^
-Two custom cards, these were such a nice touch. Gypsy numbered the packages and wrote out a little blurb about each gift for me to read as I went along. It was really fun, like a mini adventure! She has a wonderful sense of humor  :)

All my favorite candies! I thought I'd be sly and sneak some Starbursts before I took my pictures but it's pretty obvious I opened it lol. Check out my lump of coal! XD

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Ze Ponies!
-Nice n' Spicy. I love the cookery ponies! Nice n' Spicy's colors are so beautiful and vibrant and she's in lovely shape! She's hanging out with her buddy Vanilla Treat now  :)
-Daddy Apple Delight. He still has his original curl and he's so white, he's such a handsome boy! I'm a sucker for any of the apple-themed ponies, I like to think they're AJ's cousins  :biggrin:
-Sweet Suds. OMG I could pet her hair all day! I had a perfume puff a long time ago but I sold her and regretted it. Sweet Suds is a beautiful start to my renewed perfume puff collecting ^_^
-Sparkler. Another pony I've been wanting for ages, she's such a regal-looking girl. Check out the cute scarf and leg warmers Gypsy had made for her, I'm always in awe of people who can crochet/knit   :worshippy:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

My last package revealed an ornament of my ponysona, Cassiopeia! Gypsy had her commissioned by sweetlittlejenny, a customizer I've admired for a very long time. This was such an unexpected and beautiful gift and I will cherish her year-round   :heart: I absolutely love her, thank you so much, Gypsy!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Everything together! Oops, Gypsy sent some G1 coloring pages as well and I forgot to get them in the shot. The wrapping and snowflake tags she used were gorgeous as well, I saved the tags to use as ornaments  ^.^

Gypsy- I really can't thank you enough for this wonderful box you put together for me. It was a delight from the moment it was handed to me. Everything about it was perfect, I can tell you really put a lot of thought and care into making it. Thank you so so much and I hope you and yours have a spectacular new year!  :hug:

Thanks I had a lot of fun putting it together
I am so thrilled you like it all
I forgot to add the bow to jack the pumpkin ornament
he made my Minty some too and she has bows and took all those and gave me my 2 without...I had mailed your package off in such a hurry I forgot about the bowtie for it
It's not hard to do with see through black craft wire ribbon wide version from craft store and glue on but then you will need to store it in bigger box lol
it's up to you
I think the custom ornanment is my fave thing I sent
oh and the lovely note the post office lady was talking about was a thank you not to all the postal carriers who handle and deliver all our special packages, I wasn't sure it would get seen and read by them but I am glad it did

I wasn't a part of these swaps but I must say everyone has gotten such nice things! Everyone on the Arena seems to be so thoughtful and really caters to their partners likes.

SailorEarth- I'm so glad you like your ornament! She was fun to make. I'd never really thought of making ornaments from the McDonalds ponies before but it really works well.

Where on Earth did you find this paper of A Christmas Story?
I need some for hubby's gifts next year lol :worshippy:

I couldn't decide what to unwrap first because the only note of instructions was on card which said to unwrap last
so I only knew your real name from mailer
Barbara.....I am sending my Zombie dolls to come to get you for that so lookout
Barbara...They are coming for you! Here comes one now!" :crazy:

So what does a pony do
Open her stocking first which is awesome filled with what

Gypsyunicorn, I am so glad you liked you box. That wrapping paper was purchased years ago. My father in law's fav movie is A Christmas Story. So when I learned that it is one of your favorites I knew I HAD to use it.

Sailor Earth got such a nice box. I might have to make a Nightmare Before Christmas ornament for my hubby next year. That one you got looks amazing! great boxes everypony! I love these brags.   :)

Phew! Sorry for the late brag, everyone. Christmas has kept me busy and away from my computer.

I got my box from Gotbunny a little while back and she spoiled me ROTTON!

The first things I noticed was the artwork on the box. Too cute! I love the little Firefly doodle and the boxer drawing too. Looks just like my baby girl!

I carefully unboxed these:

Omigosh!  I love Lindt chocolate!  And in addition to the stickers, there's a cute heart pencil and ice-cream eraser... plus Merriweather II!  She's sooooo pretty!  But wait... look a little closer...  Do you see that teensy weensy little pony?

Holy crow, look at that detail... gotbunny, not only are you tremendously talented, you're wayyyyy more patient than I could ever be.  She's perfect!  Did I mention I adore her? ;)

And the main attraction - :socks: sockage in all its hosiery glory!

I had said I love wild and wacky socks - these are ideal!  I love the owls, so charming and trendy... and the socks with teddy bear heads are great, I'll always have a teddy buddy closeby. ^.^  The colours on the super-fuzzy pair are fantastic, and the socks with toes are just so cute!

Thank you once again, gotbunny, I'm over the moon with my swap box!

now...  check this out...  if the link works, here is a short film of bodgit playing with his new bell that he got for christmas in my swap box, thanks chip! :biggrin:  i was gonna tie it onto the roof of his cage to stop him throwing it off, lol, but he has FINALLY ventured onto the carpet so i decided not to. we've had this bird almost two years and he has been terrified of the carpet the whole time. until now :satisfied: 

sorry but you'll have to turn sideways to view it, photobucket turned it sideways even tho i filmed it upright on my phone  :huh: :huh:

Here is my sock swap from Thriftypony! My cat had actually passed away that morning, so it was really nice to have a gift come in the mail.

BabySunnyBunch, I am so happy you liked your box.  It was large, because of the two swaps I was in ($15 and Ornament, not including card, because that doesn't require boxes) I had the darndest time trying to find an appropriately sized box!!!  :cry: :shocked: I was about to see if I couldn't just get a huge envelope and stuff it all in there!!! :P :blush: :biggrin: It was very easy to shop for you (pony-wise), and I was so happy that you're ponies arrived to me in such good condition.  I hope they are as near mint as possible.

Darknessunisousboy, I too have to put up three brags, so please don't think that your gift is unwanted in any way.  I know how it feels though, because I'm waiting on one other brag.  So, I feel for you.  I know that feeling.  It sucks.  Still, there's a lot going on in life - as I know you know, but still - and it could just be due to schedule and business.

SoSoftButtons, your bird is like, "why did you knock that over?  I wanted it standing!" :D

EvilMuffins, I'm also so very sorry to read of your loss. :( Please know you'll be together again, over that rainbow bridge. :)

It took me a bit longer than I promised but here's my brag! Got my sock box from the other side of the world from Loa. :)

Everything wrapped:

Lovely animal wrapping papers, very cute.  ^.^

And here's what I got:

The socks are really nice, I can easily see myself buying those for me. So they fit my style really well, a great pick Loa! :)

There are some yummy peanut chocolates in that pouch there. I also got some New Zealalnd poetry magnets and magnetic bookmarks with NZ birds on them. Those are really cool, I really like the unique animals that reside in the NZ. :) There were also some scented soaps and a rubber penguin kit. :lol: The most fun extra was this:

An inflatable kiwi!  :biggrin: This got the laughs out of both me and my BF. :)

Thanks Loa! What a nice box! :hug:
