The Little Swap Brag Thread!

What a great round of boxes everyones gotten recently! I cant wait for mine to arrive Starting to get jealous...

Man the boxes have all been so great!! Everyone wrapped a lot better than I did

So glad that you loved your box, Cassstorm! I learned how to pack years ago when my Dad worked for a moving company. I didn't do any heavy lifting, but I worked with him during the summers and on weekends packing smaller items for people so they could fit more into a truck.

Totally sorry to hear your magnet's back broke. I wasn't sure how sturdy that design would be. A shame that box didn't hold it together. At least it shouldn't be too bad to get re-attached, since it's a wooden clothes pin. Still maddening, though.

I wondered whether to leave a note for you to check the tin, but figured I'd let you know if you missed the Peanut Butter Cups. For anyone curious, it takes 7 to fill a Cubeez. I'll definitely be using those for that in boxes again. People seem to like the boxes and a lot of people love Reese's.

I can't take credit for the gorgeous ribbon / bow work. That's Sheti's, not mine. The ponies came to me that way and my mom found Spring Parade at Value Village a few months ago. I just made sure her hair got fixed up. I'm glad you like the ribbons, though. I think they suit the ponies--especially that Dancing Butterflies.

I had a great time putting your box together and I'm so glad that it got to you safe and sound.

Yours looked just fine but I hear yah! I *HATE* wrapping a swap box. It's the only part of a pony swap that I do not care for. Ponies are soooo difficult to wrap! They are just so lumpy!

I adore wrapping gifts, but I will agree that ponies are one of the weirdest shapes ever to try and make look "pretty". I focus on the colors, textures and details of how I wrap stuff instead. I'm actually pretty lousy at actually "wrapping" things--wrapping the stuff for this box took me 6.5 hours. It's colors and themes that I enjoy. That and I always keep something chocolate and a cup of tea nearby.

Holy crap so many awesome stickers, great car decals/magnet, dog post cards, bookmarks & journal! A really nice pen, multiple awesome keychains, and a great pony lanyard to put them all on! Lots of sour and fruity snacks And my very favorite extra- a mini (6x6 perfect fit that topped the box) Siberian Husky calendar! I own two Sibes and literally only ever get Sibe calendars
_{I may have missed something in the listing of all the extras since there was such an overwhelming amount!}

Onto the ponies!

Thank you so much Clones! This has been a swap to remember!!

[clones_rebellion]

Yay!!!! I'm so glad you like everything! When you said you love dogs and own/ run your own doggie day care I knew I would have a blast spoiling you! All of my friends, co-workers, family and anyone within hearing range know I am *obsessed* with dogs. (My black German Shepherd in particular!) I take him to doggie day care twice a week and I love seeing the look on people's faces when I say that! So while I bought some great doggie extras for you I got a few for myself too!

Isn't Baby Twilight cute? I've had her in my collection for a while, but I am downsizing my collection a bit so I figured I'd send her along with her Momma.

I'm so glad you liked everything! I had a blast putting this box together for you!

[MikeysGrrrl]

I cannot believe how many items were squeezed into that box So much awesomeness!

[ladybastilla]

Another awesome box. I can't quite tell who the purple unicorn with yellow hair is, but that color combo is totally amazing. The baby Twilight is cute, too.
