The Halloween swap will be focused on PONIES! Please spend your full swap value amount on ponies from your swappers wantlist. This is NOT a random swap so ponies MUST be from your partners list. The only extras that are required are to include a small selection of candy or treats based on your swappers tastes (included on the wantlist form) and a Halloween card or note including your Arena name so that they know who the gifts are from. Please wrap your swappers gifts according to the holiday. Most people do include extras but please do not go overboard on them! However you do it though, please try your best to make a swap box that you would be excited to receive yourself!

Now...here is a weird Halloween fact for you - in my home town we celebrate Halloween on a different day from the rest of the world - this year its 26th October :P So I ll be having Halloween before everyone else! Does this mean I get to open my box before everyone else?

Hmmm, how many swaps can you be in? Do the custom swaps rule of 3 count towards this one? If it doesn't I may join, I'm in the same other swap that a few of the other participants are in on another site, but I'm pretty sure I could handle 2 Halloween swaps at once.

That, and I am Salli afterall, I feel like this swap needs a Salli in it. ;)

No one knows :)

Honestly its the only town in the world and we have Halloween on the last Friday of October never on the 31st - every year it makes the news and people from other towns laugh lol!

It can be a little odd and sad for people who move to the area who dont understand and when someone trick or treats on the 31st because they didnt know and no one has any sweeties for them! On the other hand, Halloween items go on sale the last Saturday of the month so it means if you are from another town you can pick up great bargains!
Title: Re: *~Nightmare Before Christmas~* Halloween Swap 2012
Post by: Salli on August 20, 2012, 05:16:09 PM
YAY! More Halloween awesomeness!

Cat, if I lived in your town I would celebrate on BOTH days. :D

Post by: Unicorn_pops on August 21, 2012, 10:18:59 AM
Our area is weird when it celebrates Halloween too. If Halloween falls on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, we celebrate it here on the Thursday before. Their reasoning is to many kids vandilize things on weekends. Never heard or seen about things actually getting destroyed... Although you will get road blocks because kids will cut down a tree and block the roads. Maybe they find less destruction during the week because of school and parents don't let them stay out I suppose.

I sent in my form! It took some time because I don't have a huge wantlist anymore and I had to figure out which ones fit in the budget, lol. I think it's okay now.

This will be super fun to do, because we don't really celebrate Halloween in the Netherlands but I look forward to sharing the feast we do have around the same date with my partner.

Yay we have partners!  Can we start asking questions now?

I wanted to ask everyone what sort of Halloween themes or items they like? 
For me, I'm not really into the scary or gory stuff.  I love autumn, fall leaves, the harvest and pumpkins, along with cute black cats or bats.  I am a big fan of the Nightmare before Christmas though :-D  My Fiance and I have plans to dress up as Jack and Sally at some  point.  This year we're probably going to be Gomez and Morticia Addams. 

Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras? 
To answer my own question, I'd love trading card packs or any extra cards.  The stores near me are all sold out :-/

Partner, I've also posted my wishlist in my siggy below, for easy reference.  I am in Cat's Wishlist swap as well though, so make sure you're looking at the right post :)

Oooo fun questions!

What I like for Halloween: I would love any sort of decorations to help make my house/yard look more Halloween-y, any style and type! I like silly stuff, gory stuff, and autumn theme. ^_^ (I'm staying with my parents for the moment and they frown on me throwing my money away on stuff that we'd only use 1 month out of 12, buuut if I got stuff for free... >:3 )

Trading cards? I have the complete set but I would never say no to more pony stuff! XD I can always offer them in trade to others who need them!

I have kind of a style I like, but I also love Hogwarts-y stuff. I have a large potions/apothecary collection that I need to get a pic of. I prefer spooky or classic, not gory so much, but if someone gave me a gory limb I'm sure I would make it into something awesome. My decorating dream is to one day own some life-sized skeletons (they are so expensive!!). Although I do the autumn leaves and pumpkins and stuff too.

I only own 2 packs of TC and I'd love some more :)

I am into the more cutsy side of Halloween, if that's really even possible. I guess I'm not into the gory stuff. Although I absolutely love The Nightmare Before Christmas and anything related to it.   


Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras?
Yes, I do not have any of the Trading Cards yet!!!

I second PartyPony I have all the ponies needed for mine on hold till I get paid. BAM! :lol:

I wanted to ask everyone what sort of Halloween themes or items they like?

Candy: Candy Corn, suckers, caramal sorts of candy (only candy is ok to have chocolate), and fruity candy like skittles and Star Bursts

Themes: No spiders totally afraid of them...umm black cats, werewolves, vampires ec...but def zombies. I'm a zombie nut and have so many different games. I'm also a big black/white horror movie girl. I love those old movies and Night of the Living Dead or Nosferatu are fun on Halloween. I also like any type of creepy literature thing (have my students do a Poe unit around Halloween, and I have a Raven tattoo), or Sleepy Hollow is awesome.

Umm lemme see I love watching the Halloween movies and Simpsons tree house of horrors. NOrmally we go to haunted houses on Halloween or a Rocky Horror Show (love Rocky have tattoos and an Eddie outfit I made).



Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras?

I don't really collect much FIM stuff, sorry



Do you like cute-halloweeney stuff or are you more of a creepy/serious halloween person?


I'm more of the creepy serious Halloween person. Cutsey stuff sometimes for my classroom, but not so much for me.

Regardless of price what is your all time favorite pony?

Nightlight favorite ever <3

I love anything to do with fall and autmumn since I dont really get to see the season change anymore where I live  so I really miss fall leaves. I also love pumpkins and black cats. I am more in the cute then the scarey stuff. Not a huge fan on the Nightmare Before Christmas either but the show is cute and we have it on dvd :)

Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras? I am not really collecting these

Do you like cute-halloweeney stuff or are you more of a creepy/serious halloween person? The cutsey side but when it comes to movies I am more on the creepy side :lol:

I do more of the cutsey side when decorating inside and a little more scarier for outside.

Regardless of price what is your all time favorite pony?

Oh this is a toughie!  I will have to say Tornado.

I'm not really into touristy things.

New Question!!!
Do you have pets? and do they like toys, treats etc.?
I have a Cat named Toonces and he is my baby. He loves his toys especially anything with catnip in it. And as for treats, yes he likes them but mommy puts them in the cupboard and forgets about them  :blush:

Either The Birthday Pony or Rosette.

would you like extras that relate to my local area?

Any pets?

Post by: Salli on August 28, 2012, 10:55:02 AM
Okay, I already answered a couple of questions earlier.

Favorite pony... Hmmm if I could have any pony it would be Ice Crystal but my favorite... hmm, maybe Gusty? I love all the shy poses.

I love touristy stuff, especially postcards, I hang them up on a bulletin board in my room.

I have a red doberman dog named Scarlett (who is a huge coward XD) and we recently rescued 2 adult cats (both black) a shorthaired female named Poe and a longhaired male I named Severus. They are sweeties.

New question if you like: what is your favorite spooky/scary movie?
Mine is the 1963 version of The Haunting

<<<EDIT: I will be posting all the question answers here as they pop up>>>


Kids: No, thanks. ;) jk. I have 2 boys 8 & 5 (they think they are 21 and 17 though) Nah, don't send them anything. They so don't deserve it XD

Blind bags: The ones I need are on my wishlist on the link below. Please put your wants on your wishlists, I have easy access to waves 3&4. I also use a lot of boy molds for customizing.

Customs: Yep. That's what got me started here. My DA page has most of my work on it (except for certain swap ponies who I am waiting to arrive to post :) ) I love customs, but wouldn't feel disappointed if I didn't get one. Dear partner, if you are not a customizer, don't worry about it :) If you are and are dying to, go for it :) Especially blind bags. Can't resist a blind bag.

Candy from another country would be cool!

Fakies: I have a few I'd like to get rid of. Anyone here like fakies?
The only fakies I like are the ones that look like newborn g1's

Halloween candy: (Like I saw candy eyeballs and stuff the other day)
Mmm, Reese's pumpkins... I'm not picky about my candy though. Chocolate covered insects would gross me out but that's about it. I have 2 sons and 4 little brothers, it's hard to shock me.

Any candy you particularly dislike?
Coffee flavored

Favorite Halloween/spooky movie that you do not own?
The old House on Haunted Hill, I love old (clean-ish) bad movies, oh yah! I forgot, I want to get the Woman In Black too, but that's a new one. I would love more old ghost movies. 

Do you like any particular Disney themed movies or Halloween themed movies from Disney?
Legend of Sleepy Hollow, I do have a VHS of it though

Would you like any small Halloween party favor type of things? I wouldn't turn any away :) I especially like things that can be used as props for ponies or dolls

Is there anything that creeps you out but not in a good way? Like a you would throw the box and freak out?
No. I don't love clowns, but it would probably make me laugh that you put it in my box XD This is a good question though.

What is your absolute favorite type of decoration or item that would make your box fun?
I love potions bottles, I have a collection of them, but again, I love Halloween stuff in general. I also collect fake/hollow/altered books that look like spell books like these http://www.halloweenforum.com/attachments/halloween-crafts/86753d1316121934-spooky-altered-books-how-staged-book.jpg

What is your favorite thing to do on Halloween?
Dress up! I also love to visit local pumpkin patches with my kids around Halloween

I noticed some people mention books, but I didn't see a question about books specifically (sorry if I missed it). Is there a book you would like that is Halloween related? I would love even a used copy of 'The House on Haunted Hill' I keep forgetting to get one :)

Hey, Coraline is creepy! The Lalaloopsy dolls creep me out just because of that. XD I don't do 'horror' movies, but I like old movies because they don't have all the gore and grossness. It's just good, old-fashioned scariness  ^.^

Haha this has become the 'answer a lot of fun survey questions!' thread. :P

Cute Halloween stuff or creepy/serious?
I like both/any! :D

What's your favorite pony regardless of price?
Rainbow Dash!! G3 preferably but I think her G4 incarnation is okay as well. ^_^

Would you like extras related to my local area?
Halloween stuff from a different local area? Sure! That'd be cute. ^^

Do you have pets and do they enjoy treats?

That would be a big yes on both accounts lol! I have two cats. Kohaku is my lazy overweight tub of lard (I say this with the fondest voice imaginable :P ) so he won't play with toys much, though he does loooove to roll around in catnip.

Mango is a two year old who still thinks she's ten weeks old. She's on high speed ALL the time! I can hear her running around upstairs at night thumpthumpthumpthumpCRASH!....thumpthumpthump! Nothing slows her down! She loves toys. They both love treats of course lol.

Random blind bags? Or the H&M FiM hairclips?

Yes to both! Those hairclips are cute! And for the blindbags, I have a full set of wave 1 and the glitter ones from Target but I'd love anything from the other waves.

Favorite spooky/scary movie?

I am a HUGE horror movie buff. If you name it, I've most likely seen it. My favorite is Stay Alive, hands down. I like a horror movie that takes a new twist on an old concept. And one that has likeable characters! Too many horror movies try to make all their characters jerks or idiot teenagers that do things no one with half a braincell would do in real life... Plus you can tell the actors were having a lot of fun filming that one. ^^

I wanted to ask everyone what sort of Halloween themes or items they like?
Bats, black cats, and ghosts.  I like black and orange stuff too.

Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras?

Nah. They would all be duplicates likely.

Do you like cute-halloweeney stuff or are you more of a creepy/serious halloween person?

I'm more of cutesy Halloween type person.

Regardless of price what is your all time favorite pony?

Too many to pick from.....many of my favorites are G1. Pinwheel, Red Roses, Sparkler, Fizzy, Sweet Pop, Sunbeam, Heart Throb, etc.

would you like extras that relate to my local area?
Yes! If my partner happens to be from another country, I'd love to try sweets from your country.

what is your favorite spooky/scary movie?
I will shamefully admit that I love The Human Centipede. Other favorites of mine are Wrong Turn, The Hills Have Eyes, Wolf Creek, The Others, Dead End, Last House on the Left, Nightmare Before Christmas

Pets?
I have a little Chihuahua named Dixie. She loves treats but please don't include anything with mystery meats. Basically avoid anything that includes stuff like meat meal, bone meal, blood meal, animal fast, or meat by-products. If you look up what those ingredients entail it would give you chills. She she loves anything with meat or cheese. I have even given her Slim Jims before (the people food, lol), but none that are spicey.

Blind bags?
I need many from wave 3

Post by: Salli on August 28, 2012, 11:48:15 AM
Oops, I didn't answer the questions right. I blame my kids.

My dog will eat anything. Actually, she inhales more than eats. We call her 'the barkuum cleaner'. My cats seem to like treats so far, Severus seems to prefer poultry XD

I don't even know what the hairclips are! I need to look them up! I have all of wave 1 (except pink variant TS), Wave 3, Wave 4, the Target glitter pack and the TRU 3-packs (Apple family, Cloudsdale, Wedding) I would love any wave 2's or 5's. I don't mind getting random ones because I customize them :D My 'most wanted' list is on my wishlist

I want to read the book Coraline! I keep forgetting about it. I don't usually like the 'people being hunted by a psychopath' movies, I like more ghosts and monsters. I LOVE the Woman in Black. I need to own that one.

I'd highly reckomend the audio-book if you don't find time to read it. I *found* it on the internet and listened to it while walking the dogs each day. It's my favorite audio book next too The graveyard book! <3 (which i love to pieces!)

OK, let's see...


I wanted to ask everyone what sort of Halloween themes or items they like?
Black cats, primarily. I enjoy pumpkin treats and scents as well

Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras?
No thanks. I bought a couple of packs, but am not really into them.

Do you like cute-halloweeney stuff or are you more of a creepy/serious halloween person?
Definitely like more cutesy, mischievous stuff.

Regardless of price what is your all time favorite pony?
Tough one! I guess Wind Whistler and Gusty. And Minty.

Would you like extras that relate to my local area?
Sure, especially if it's something that is special to your area.

What is your favorite spooky/scary movie?
I'm not really into scary films, but I do appreciate the humor in Scream.

Pets?
I have four cats. Poe (great minds, huh Salli? :)), Isis, and Zoey are my black cats and Grey (Lord Greystroke) is grey and white. They are good on treats (the girls are nicknamed 'the Vulturettes,' as they like to swoop in and take their brothers' food), but toys are always appreciated! Cat nip is typically a hit.

Blind bags?
Yes, please! I know I don't need the mane six, or the sparkly mane six, but still need quite a few from Waves 2-5. I'll see if I can get a want list posted with specifics later.

I want to read the book Coraline! I keep forgetting about it. I don't usually like the 'people being hunted by a psychopath' movies, I like more ghosts and monsters. I LOVE the Woman in Black. I need to own that one.

I'd highly reckomend the audio-book if you don't find time to read it. I *found* it on the internet and listened to it while walking the dogs each day. It's my favorite audio book next too The graveyard book! <3 (which i love to pieces!)
I love the Graveyard Book too!!  I love how Neil Gaiman records his own audio books :-D  I'm so excited they're making Graveyard Book into a movie!

I wanted to ask everyone what sort of Halloween themes or items they like?
Black cats, pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, the moon, trees silhouetted, friendly ghosts, fall leaves, spider webs

Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras?
There are FIM trading cards? lol Nah, I'm not really into card collecting.

Do you like cute-halloweeney stuff or are you more of a creepy/serious halloween person?
Cute stuff ^_^

Regardless of price what is your all time favorite pony?
Hmm. Well, my childhood favorite was Applejack. I still loves me some AJ but I also like celestial ponies like Night Glider, Night Light, Moonstone and Milky Way. That's a tough question! I guess if I have to pick just one I'd go with G1 Applejack.

Would you like extras that relate to my local area?
Sure

What is your favorite spooky/scary movie?
Mostly The Nightmare Before Christmas but also Casper and Hocus Pocus. I like the fun/spooky movies, I don't really do the gore types  :lookround:

Pets?
I have six cats (Casper, Blaze, Tuxedo Mask, Isis, Autumn and Rogue), one dog (Ginger) and a guinea pig (Jasper). Don't feel obligated to get them all something, there are far too many  ^^;

Blind bags?
Sure! Although I think the ones I'm missing are getting pretty HTF. I've got them listed in my wish list in my siggy ^_^

I think I got all the questions that have been listed so far.

Post by: Dragonflitter on August 29, 2012, 08:53:50 AM
Oooo good question! I am a very amateur customizer. :blush: I wouldn't mind some extras in my package like spare hair or customizing odds n' ends!

If my partner wants to include something customized for me, I collect dragon customs! :D I have a bunch from different artists, some have dragon scales/wings molded onto their bodies, some are just dragon-theme symbols and colors, but I love them. ^_^ Yay dragons!

Favorite spooky scary movie? Hmmm that is a hard one...I watch too many of these things and own too many but may I suggest my favorite scary movie is anything old...like Poltergiest or Night of the living dead

PetYes we have 1 minature dachshund...but we are picky with what we give him since he has sensitive stomache and he likes toys with sqeakers but we prefer toys he wont eat stuffing out of

Blind bagsyes I am missing some but I have halfof the wave 4 and only missing a couple of wave 3 will try to add a list of who I am missing to my wishlist thanks

Do you customize? or would you like something extra that is customized? no  I dont but something extra customized would be fine if it was a little blind bag custom or something like that that was mlp related

Do you customize? or would you like something extra that is customized?  No, I don't customize, but I would love receiving a custom :)  A Nightmare before Christmas related custom would be awesome, or anything autumnal, or a custom of Java Bean (see siggy), or something from FIM (I'd love to have brushables of the spa ponies, or Big Mac!).  I prefer customs on G4 bodies.

I don't customize I'm afraid. I tried to a couple of years ago and did'nt enjoy it much. I sometimes rehair to restore ponies though.
But I would love something customized! I have a couple of custom-hasbro-replicas in my collection that I love to pieces! :)

Favorite spooky scary movie? I don't really have one that would matter with regards to this swap. I do want to mention that I'm not a big fan of nightmare before christmas though. I like it but I just wouldn't be interested in getting merch from the movie.

Pet? Yep, two dogs. One border collie and one bichon. They love all toys and treats.

Kids? None for me.

Blind bags? No thanks.

Do you customize? or would you like something extra that is customized? I do not customize. A custom would be cool to receive though.

I don't customise but I do restore, so hair would be good, or glitter or more glue (I always need more glue for everything!), ribbons for hair, that kind of thing. And I would also love a custom! A little blind bag or something would be cute.

Ok here we go...

I wanted to ask everyone what sort of Halloween themes or items they like?
Black cats!!! I know thats silly but I like "classic" and stereotypical Halloween so more pumpkins and witches than vampires and axe murderers!

Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras?
Why not! I dont collect them but I wouldnt mind having a few

Do you like cute-halloweeney stuff or are you more of a creepy/serious halloween person?
Cute!!!

Regardless of price what is your all time favorite pony?
Baby Fifi...best pony

Would you like extras that relate to my local area?
Love it!

What is your favorite spooky/scary movie?
I am actually addicted to Scream [all 4 of them] - I know they are not super scary but I was the right age when the first one hit the big screen and the enjoyment of the series has continued. Other than that I am a massive fan of any 60s or 70s horror film - they are all timeless.

Pets?
I have one baby and one monster. Baby is my bubba and beloved Harry dog - he collects little cuddly sheep [he has over 2 dozen...yes he is spoiled] and my monster is my Macaw who is smarter than me and he knows it, he likes chocolate :)

Blind bags?
Yup! Anything from wave 1 or 2

Customs?
I have absolutely no customising talent but I love other peoples customs so yes!

Wow, you guys are brave. I haven't watched most of those because I'm too chicken. I LOVE old 'scary' movies and especially when the Mystery Science Theater guys do them. One of my faves is 'The Screaming Skull' and I've never seen the MST3K version of it.

Kids: No, thanks. ;) jk. I have 2 boys 8 & 5 (they think they are 21 and 17 though)

Blind bags: The ones I need are on my wishlist on the link below. Please put your wants on your wishlists, I have easy access to waves 3&4. I also use a lot of boy molds for customizing.

Customs: Yep. That's what got me started here. My DA page has most of my work on it (except for certain swap ponies who I am waiting to arrive to post :) ) I love customs, but wouldn't feel disappointed if I didn't get one. Dear partner, if you are not a customizer, don't worry about it :) If you are and are dying to, go for it :) Especially blind bags. Can't resist a blind bag.

Don't have a favorite pony but I love any wingers, babies, newborns, teeny tinys!

Edit to add: I also have two cats but they stay outside so nothing special for them. I don't feed them treats b/c it makes them sick and I'm not one to dress up my pets.

Boyfriend is out of the hospital! So here are my questions answered!

I wanted to ask everyone what sort of Halloween themes or items they like? 
I LOVE Lemax Spooky Town. I have a very small collection but I want them all!!

Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras? 
Sure, I haven't even seen them around here in my area anyway.

Do you like cute-halloweeney stuff or are you more of a creepy/serious halloween person?
Both but I'll admit... I'm more of a creepy/serious Halloween person.

Regardless of price what is your all time favorite pony?
Favorite pony that I don't have would be one of the Paradise babies: Beach Ball, Palm Tree or Pineapple

would you like extras that relate to my local area?
YES!!!

Do you have pets? and do they like toys, treats etc.?
Cats and they love anything! I have 6.

Can I also ask if anyone wants any random blind bags? Something I might actually have access to! Or the H&M FiM hairclips?
I don't have any of the Blind Bags after Wave 1 so yes I would love some!

New question if you like: what is your favorite spooky/scary movie?
I love Stephen King books so I love his movies too. I'm very particular to Pet Cemetary.

Do you customize? or would you like something extra that is customized?
I don't customize but I would LOVE a customized Silent Hill Pyramid Head!

Do you like to try some exotic candy? I know my country's candy can be unique so... are you open to that?
I'm always up for trying thing from other countries!

To all of you: Do you have any kids that might like some Halloween goodies as well?
My own answer, yes. My 6 year old daughter

Any fakies you guys like? I have a few I'd like to get rid of. Anyone here like fakies?
My daughter gets all my fakies so I would give them to her! :)

What is your favorite Halloween candy? Is there anything that will gross you out? (Like I saw candy eyeballs and stuff the other day)
Body Parts Gummy Candy!

Any candy you particularly dislike?
Candy Corn

What is your favorite Halloween/spooky movie that you do not own?
Quarentine... scared the poopies outta me

Do you like any particular Disney themed movies or Halloween themed movies from Disney? (I ask because I'm a member of their movie club. They are having a special on a few Halloween movies) Also in particular Disney movies you like that you currently do not have? (I can scan a flyer I got recently if you want to see what they have, but they have like a buy one and 60% off all other purchase sale for Halloween)
I don't have barely any Disney movies on DVD so any would be great!

Would you like any small Halloween party favor type of things? (I saw little toys and tops and cute things while shopping)
Yes!

Is there anything that creeps you out but not in a good way? Like a you would throw the box and freak out?
Lol, no!

What is your absolute favorite type of decoration or item that would make your box fun?
Zombies! Love Walking Dead show!

What is your favorite thing to do on Halloween?
Take my daughter Trick or Treating and then come home and eat candy and turn on all my Lemax Spooky Town and watch them in the dark. Then after my daughter goes to bed, watch a scary movie!

I noticed some people mention books, but I didn't see a question about books specifically (sorry if I missed it). Is there a book you would like that is Halloween related?
Not really Halloween related but I love Stephen King and Dean Koontz!

How do you feel about re-pinking? If I find a pony that has faded hair would you like me to re-pink or leave it as is?
I'd rather have a repinked hair than faded to repink away!

Any US peeps want to try British sweets/candy?
Yes, I love British candy!

Are you into Monster High at all?
No, sorry.

Do you like hair accessories???
Not really.

Would you like G4 Blind bags, as an extra?
Yes, just not any from Wave 1

Do you like smellies? Like bubble bath, soap, moisturiser etc? If so, what kinds of smells do you like?
Strawberry and Vanilla are my faves!

Partner would you like a G3 Halloween custom?
Sure, customs are awesome!

If you received a pony that displayed very well from your wishlist but had an issue.....brown stains on her butt under her tail (looks to be internal mold but not cancer), would you still like to have her? You really need to move her tail to see the brunt  of it, but when she's on the shelf and otherwise, she's just lovely.
That's no issue for me!

Also, if you have a pony on your wishlist that's prone to a little bit of rust on her symbols because they contain glitter, would you be okay with receiving that pony if she has a little bit of rust?
Yes!




To my partner: I will be updating questions on this post in the future

Alrighty finally going to answer some questions. Also I have a few questions of my own. They are related to things you guys asked, but extremely specific. I realized while out shopping the other day in the vast amount of Halloween isle I was still unsure of what to buy my partner.

My Answers
Can I also ask if anyone wants any random blind bags?
I wouldn't mind them, but I don't particularly do the G4 thing unless it's Applejack related (she's one of my favorite G1s)

Any pets?
Yesssss, I actually love animals. Currently living with me I have a miniature almost standard sized poodle and a mini Schnauzer. Lemme see pictures. These are old!

They are my main babies right now since we rent a place and other animals are not allowed. I've also had lots of rats and hamsters. I used to have a rabbit (had to give her away wife is allergic to rabbits and cats). I'm also from a farm originally. My dad and his brother have a big 600 acre place where they raise cattle and horses. I grew up doing competitions and stuff, and I'll have a horse again this summer when they ship one to me. Actually two sooo future pets just a ways away!



New question if you like: what is your favorite spooky/scary movie?

This is hard for me because horror is my favorite genre, and I'm actually a scary movie nut. I collect them and not just new stuff. Most of my collection goes back to the old black/white films because those are classics. I also even have some silent films like Dracula. If I had to pick my favorites I would go with either some good black/white oldies like Night of the Living Dead, Swamp Thing or The Wolfman. By far my favorite films are ones with ones with Vincent Price (only man that makes me go yes! Because his voice and mannerisms are just so awesome). I particularly love his version of House of Wax and the Poe adaptations. I know they are cheesy and weird as anything, but who would not love seeing Price and Karloff fight it out with magic?

Then I'm a nerd for 70's- 80's films like Halloween. I love those! Friday the 13th or even Fright Night. I love cheesy or spooky, but mostly oldies.

Then totally off from my regular but I simply must watch Hocus Pocus and Nightmare Before Christmas every year.

Do you customize? or would you like something extra that is customized?

I'm not much for customs but they are growing on me a little. Mostly because I know poor Nightlight will never have a baby if it's not a custom. I'm always up for like hair though since I do a lot of rehairing.

Kids?
Nope I just teach them, but I don't have any myself. I suppose if you had in mind to throw in some extra books or something my students would love them. I teach teenagers though and they like dramatic things such as Twilight. I also work where the kids have trouble with reading comprehension (lots of my students are about five to six years behind). Sometimes I buy comics for them with lots of text to kind of encourage them to start reading. I know they love that first Twilight comic that came out, but I couldn't afford the second one a while back. :blush:

Yes! I love little trinkets! Especially with black cats, bats, or ghosts.
 

Is there anything that creeps you out but not in a good way? Like a you would throw the box and freak out?

I don't mind stuff like fake spiders as long as you don't put them where they will surprise the crap out of me. XD  And gory stuff is fine with me.

What is your absolute favorite type of decoration or item that would make your box fun?

Decor? Hmm....I'm not sure. I love candle holders even though I'm terrified of fire. Makes no sense. Maybe if YOU like it, I will too.

What is your favorite thing to do on Halloween?
I never do anything. I just sit at home, LOL. I miss the days of trick or treating and getting all the candy. Oh, and seeing the inside of the ritzy houses in other neighborhoods. Some of those places give out whole candybars to everyone.

I noticed some people mention books, but I didn't see a question about books specifically (sorry if I missed it). Is there a book you would like that is Halloween related?
I love horror novels in general. Anything that is creepy, gory, hack and slash, and involves ghosts. That's definitely my genre. I love Richard Laymon's books. But don't buy me any. I likely already have it. But if you know who he is, you have an idea of what I like.   Stuff like the Amityville horror book was awesome too. I have a fascination with ghosts and haunted houses.

Any candy you particularly dislike?
Sour candies! They suck all the moisture out of your mouth, yuck.

What is your favorite Halloween/spooky movie that you do not own?

Hmmm leave as is I do believe. I have one pony that was repinked and she leaks dye all the time. I'm not saying you would do a poor job like this one has swap partner. It's just put me off repinking for a bit since I have a Little Flitter with a half pink stained head. :cry:

More questions! Eek! Here goes:

What is your favorite Halloween candy? Is there anything that will gross you out? (Like I saw candy eyeballs and stuff the other day)
Pretty much I'm going to say no candy. I don't really like sweet things, so I don't ever eat halloween-specific sweets. Dark chocolate and anything with peanut in it please :)

Any candy you particularly dislike?
As above

What is your favorite Halloween/spooky movie that you do not own?
Carrie :)

Do you like any particular Disney themed movies or Halloween themed movies from Disney?
No Disney please.

Would you like any small Halloween party favor type of things? (I saw little toys and tops and cute things while shopping)
Yeah I don't mind, black cats would be nice.

Is there anything that creeps you out but not in a good way? Like a you would throw the box and freak out?
No not really, I don't particularly want eyeballs and skeletons, I wouldn't freak out though. Just don't send spooky dolls!

What is your absolute favorite type of decoration or item that would make your box fun?
Halloween-wise? I'm not sure. I'm so useless at this kind of stuff! Umm... other than that I like sparkly things and ribbons and whatnot so any of that kind of thing would be good. Also sparkly cobwebs? Is that a thing? I need to google Halloween things.

What is your favorite thing to do on Halloween?
I don't do a lot to be honest. Probably watch some Stephen King films, that would be good. Avoid the children trick or treating.

I noticed some people mention books, but I didn't see a question about books specifically (sorry if I missed it). Is there a book you would like that is Halloween related?
Are there Halloween-related books? No idea!

Fakies? No thanks.
Kids? Nope.
Re-pinking? Don't mind either way, I can repink if you don't want to!

What is your favorite Halloween candy? Is there anything that will gross you out? (Like I saw candy eyeballs and stuff the other day)
For Halloween candy I like caramel corn or Peeps probably; or Bertie Botts beans and other Harry Potter candy.  Any candy I mentioned on my questionnaire is good, doesn't have to be Halloween related :)

No candy eyeballs or other candy body parts though >_<  Nothing that looks gross or gory for me, please. 

Any candy you particularly dislike?
Black licorice, candy corn, marzipan, anything that looks gory or like body parts.  No gummy rats or spiders either. 

What is your favorite Halloween/spooky movie that you do not own?
Hmmm....I don't have Ghostbusters 2, or Addams Family Values, or any classic Addams Family. 

Do you like any particular Disney themed movies or Halloween themed movies from Disney? (I ask because I'm a member of their movie club. They are having a special on a few Halloween movies) Also in particular Disney movies you like that you currently do not have? (I can scan a flyer I got recently if you want to see what they have, but they have like a buy one and 60% off all other purchase sale for Halloween)  I love Disney and Pixar movies :)  I don't own Finding Nemo, the Incredibles, Monsters Inc, the Princess and the Frog.  I also like olders Disney movies like the Ugly Dachsund, That Darn Cat, the Cat from Outer Space, Mary Poppins, etc.  The only Disney Halloween movie I can think of is Hocus Pocus, but I own that one already. 


Would you like any small Halloween party favor type of things? (I saw little toys and tops and cute things while shopping)

Not too into these types of items, although I like cute plush toys. 

Is there anything that creeps you out but not in a good way? Like a you would throw the box and freak out?
Anything disgusting or gory or bloody. 

What is your absolute favorite type of decoration or item that would make your box fun?
Cute bats, pumpkins or cats :) 

What is your favorite thing to do on Halloween?
I love hosting a Halloween party for my close friends.  I like to dress up (this year my Fiance and I will be Gomez and Morticia Addams) and make goodies like spiced cider and pumpkin pie.  We carve a pumpkin and toast the pumpkin seeds.  I like handing out candy too, but there aren't a lot of kids in my area.

I noticed some people mention books, but I didn't see a question about books specifically (sorry if I missed it). Is there a book you would like that is Halloween related?  Well, I love Neil Gaiman, so maybe Coraline or the Graveyard Book in hardcopy (I only own Kindle versions of those). 

Repinking?  Yes, if well done and the dye does not leak.  Or maybe just try and find one that doesn't have faded hair :)

A dalek - they freak me the heck out - have to cover my eyes when they appear in Dr Who - but I am thinking one of them wont fit in my box and they are a little off topic for halloween so I should be safe. :P
I have a little bit of a weird thing about eyes and eye balls - so if they could be avoided it would be appreciated but it honestly wouldnt be the end of the world!

What is your absolute favorite type of decoration or item that would make your box fun?
Anything to do with black cats [or witches]

I noticed some people mention books, but I didn't see a question about books specifically (sorry if I missed it). Is there a book you would like that is Halloween related?
Not that I can think of - I love to read so am always happy to try anything different :)

Foreign Candy/US Candy?
Hmmmm...US candy - do they still make milk duds? I swear to goodness I would trade ponies for milk duds if they still existed :P. Any other foreign candy I ll give it a shot - sweeties are sweeties!!! :)

Bumping us back up!

I also want to put a reminder out there to please not update your wish list that was submitted to me.  It can cause problems for your partner if they have already purchased these ponies for you.

Okay, I think I need to check in here finally, lol!  It has been a looong time since I last did a swap, but I am really easy to shop for, teeheeheee!

*Can I also ask if anyone wants any random blind bags?*

Absolutely!  I don't have anything beyond the first wave, lol!

*Do you like to try some exotic candy?*

I am a chunky, I will eat anything lol!


*Any pets?*

I have two dogs.


*New question if you like: what is your favorite spooky/scary movie?*

House on Haunted Hill  (I don't know why!  I have a lot of other favorites too though!)



*Do you customize? or would you like something extra that is customized?*

I have in the past, and I do enjoy it, but I don't have much time for it any more.  I would enjoy receiving something handmade.  That kind of stuff is neat!


*Kids?*

I have a 2 year old boy.


*Any fakies you guys like? I have a few I'd like to get rid of. Anyone here like fakies?*

I like the ones that look like the real thing.  Like the ones molded after the G3s or the G1 Babies.  I have always been interested in one of those white fakie Baby Woolies.


*What is your favorite Halloween candy? Is there anything that will gross you out? (Like I saw candy eyeballs and stuff the other day)*

It probably sounds overly traditional, but I have grown very fond of candy corn, lol!


*Any candy you particularly dislike?*

Not that I can think of!


*What is your favorite Halloween/spooky movie that you do not own?*

The original Halloween or Friday the 13th movies.


*Do you like any particular Disney themed movies or Halloween themed movies from Disney?*

The original Halloweentown.  But I do love Disney.

*Would you like any small Halloween party favor type of things?*

Sure!

*Is there anything that creeps you out but not in a good way? Like a you would throw the box and freak out?*


Not a huge fan of dolls.


*What is your absolute favorite type of decoration or item that would make your box fun?*

Black Cats
Pumpkins
Ghosts
Bats
The usual...



*I noticed some people mention books, but I didn't see a question about books specifically (sorry if I missed it). Is there a book you would like that is Halloween related?*

Not really.


*Foreign Candy/US Candy?*


Nothing in particular...

Catching up! Also, have my partner's first pony!  ^.^

Any fakies you guys like? I have a few I'd like to get rid of. Anyone here like fakies?
Sorry, not really my thing.

What is your favorite Halloween candy? Is there anything that will gross you out? (Like I saw candy eyeballs and stuff the other day).
Favorite are Reese's pumpkins.  Can't think of any Halloween candy that really grosses me out. Had to laugh the other day, I saw they make Cadbury Scream Eggs now (like Cadbury Creme Eggs, but with green "yolks!").

Any candy you particularly dislike?
Black licorice. Laffy Taffy. While not a dislike, I usually on chew sugar free gum and breath mints (gotta save calories somewhere!).

What is your favorite Halloween/spooky movie that you do not own?
My DVD backlog is kinda ridic, and I'm not that in to spooky movies, so don't worry about sending me any.  ;)

Do you like any particular Disney themed movies or Halloween themed movies from Disney?
I like Disney movies, but already own the movies I'd want to.

Would you like any small Halloween party favor type of things? (I saw little toys and tops and cute things while shopping).
Sure! The cuter, the better.

Is there anything that creeps you out but not in a good way? Like a you would throw the box and freak out?
Nothing that makes loud sounds, please.

What is your absolute favorite type of decoration or item that would make your box fun?
Black cats FTW!

I noticed some people mention books, but I didn't see a question about books specifically (sorry if I missed it). Is there a book you would like that is Halloween related?
Again, have quite a backlog of books, and likely will be moving before year's end, so I am good.

Post by: kaoskat on September 07, 2012, 08:32:20 AM
I am so so sorry dear partner! I forgot to check this thread. I kept meaning to but I'm easily distracted.... Playing catch up now.

I wanted to ask everyone what sort of Halloween themes or items they like? 

I like monsters and pumpkins and ghosts and bats and spiders and rats and leaves and candy corn designs (but not the actual candy, go figure). Ummm....I tend to prefer cutesy or scary over gory.

Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras? 

Certainly! I'm trying to complete my collection too!

Do you like cute-halloweeney stuff or are you more of a creepy/serious halloween person?

I like both!

Regardless of price what is your all time favorite pony?

My own Baby CC, but just him. For ponies in general, my very favorite is Bowtie.

would you like extras that relate to my local area?

Sure!

Do you have pets? and do they like toys, treats etc.?

I do! And of course they do! I have 4 dogs! I have other pets too but I tend to be careful about their treats as some sold for them aren't actually safe. Though I do request if you get doggy treats you make sure they have no garlic. That's one they sneak into their treats sometimes that isn't safe. Oh, and if you are in the US, they love those holiday themed cookies (that look a bit like sugar cookies) that they sell most holidays at Walmart.

Can I also ask if anyone wants any random blind bags? Something I might actually have access to! Or the H&M FiM hairclips?

Yes! Very much so!

what is your favorite spooky/scary movie?

Brainscan....It......I dunno really..... Oh! I know!!! Dracula starring Bela Lugosi!! I LOVE that movie!! It cracks me up!

Do you customize? or would you like something extra that is customized?

I do! And I would! I LOVE customs!

Do you like to try some exotic candy? I know my country's candy can be unique so... are you open to that?

Certainly! Some of the most awesome candy I've gotten in swaps has been strange stuff from other countries!

Do you have any kids that might like some Halloween goodies as well?

No. Not yet.

Any fakies you guys like? I have a few I'd like to get rid of. Anyone here like fakies?

Sure!

What is your favorite Halloween candy? Is there anything that will gross you out? (Like I saw candy eyeballs and stuff the other day)

I like dark chocolate, and taffy and fruit flavored things (especially strawberry and banana), and bubble gum and lollipops.


Any candy you particularly dislike?

Candy corn and licorice but hubby loves both so I'm perfectly happy with you sending those as I like to share.


What is your favorite Halloween/spooky movie that you do not own?


LOL I don't actually own any of the ones I mentioned. We I mean I do but only on VHS and our VHS player no longer works.

Do you like any particular Disney themed movies or Halloween themed movies from Disney? (I ask because I'm a member of their movie club. They are having a special on a few Halloween movies) Also in particular Disney movies you like that you currently do not have? (I can scan a flyer I got recently if you want to see what they have, but they have like a buy one and 60% off all other purchase sale for Halloween)

I LOVE all the Halloweentown movies.

Would you like any small Halloween party favor type of things? (I saw little toys and tops and cute things while shopping)

Sure!

Is there anything that creeps you out but not in a good way? Like a you would throw the box and freak out?

Nope.
 
What is your absolute favorite type of decoration or item that would make your box fun?

Bats! And rats! And crows! :lovey:

What is your favorite thing to do on Halloween?

Dress up and hand out candy and watch Hocus Pocus (best Halloween movie EVER)


I noticed some people mention books, but I didn't see a question about books specifically (sorry if I missed it). Is there a book you would like that is Halloween related?


I don't know of one but I love books.

How do you feel about re-pinking? If I find a pony that has faded hair would you like me to re-pink or leave it as is?

Either is fine.

Just curious.....any American candy those of you who live outside the States want to try?

In the US.

Post by: Dragonflitter on September 08, 2012, 08:13:45 PM
Catching up on all the questions that have been asked since I last answered! lol

Kids?

Nope for me!

Try some exotic candy?

Eh... maybe only if it's chocolate or caramel based. I'm kinda picky when it comes to weird stuff... I would be too wary to try to eat anything pineapple or kiwi flavored, or anything weird like that... ^_^;

Fakies

No thank you, I have it bad enough with MLP's all over my room. :P

Favorite candy? Candy that grosses you out?

I am partial to caramel, especially cowtails and bull's eye. I like candy corn! I can't stand licorice or jelly beans or gummy candies (they get stuck in my teeth).

Favorite Halloween movie that you don't own?

I'm not a big movie buyer, I always just rent from the redbox.

Disney Halloween movies?

See above.

Small Halloween favors?

Yeah! I would hand them out to kids on Halloween. ^_^

Is there anything that creeps you out but not in a good way? Like a you would throw the box and freak out?

DOLLS. Seriously, not even in a laughing way. I have a phobia. Uggggh. Not like Barbie or Monster High, but like dolls that look like babies...baby dolls... ugggh... *shivers*

Favorite type of decoration?

Anything and everything! I love decorations!!

Favorite thing to do on Halloween?

Hand out candy and treats to the kids that come to my door. ^^ (My parents hate Halloween and shut themselves in their room on Halloween night, so I get to take care of the trick-or-treaters!)

Halloween books?

No thank you. I have plenty of books as is lol.

How do you feel about re-pinking? If I find a pony that has faded hair would you like me to re-pink or leave it as is?

I would ask you to leave as-is. I'm not a big fan of restored ponies and I'd rather re-pink myself if I find it necessary. (But if you buy a pony and didn't know it was re-pinked until you get it, that's okay I wouldn't hate it. :3 )

British sweets/candy?

See above for answer.

Monster High?

Not a collector, thanks anyway though.

Only a few new questions, let's see if I've got them all...

Repinking; perfectly fine, I do it myself too.

British candy; I love anything Cadbury!

Monster High Looooove it. I have a few dolls. First edition Draculaura, Frankie, Clawdeen, Lagoona, Cleo, Deuce, Ghoulia and I recently got Operetta. They're sooo awesome!

British candy would be awesome. I love nothing more than trying different candies from around the world.

Sternenstaub, Milk Duds are some of the best candies in the world. I ate them all the time as a kid and still enjoy them. They are very chewy and sticky and these day they hurt my teeth. Some of them have become sensitive to sugar.

Ummm.... yes to hair accessories. I always need more hairclips, glittery, brightly coloured, rainbow, pink, all kinds  :biggrin: Also I am always losing hair bobbles. I would probably say no to hairbands though, although they are super-pretty mostly my head is too big for them and I get headaches!

I do! :) I love playing with my hair ^__^ I especially like clips that look like bows and ribbons.

Aaaaand! - I have another question! :D

Would you like G4 Blind bags, as an extra?
Yes! I have specified some on my wishlist already, but I'm really into them and don't mind doubles at all! :)

On other news. Going totally overboard with loads of extras.  :haha:

Monster High: I like Monster High a lot, and collected them for a while :)  I'm not actively collecting now, but my favorite characters are Draculaura and Ghoulia. 

Hair accessories: No thank you.  I'm a bit picky about hair stuff.

Would you like G4 Blind bags, as an extra?  Yes please!  I have most of wave 1, but would love anything from the later waves.

I am wondering what I'm going to wrap mine in. I have a cool idea for all candy/snacks I am going to put in the box. But for misc stuff I am not sure what to do with. I could put them in goodie bags, though I love to wrap and wish they made Halloween wrapping paper. I could always use the colored tissue paper (and use a combo of orange and black) but I'd rather not. I've learned with past swaps that I am not very good at wrapping with that stuff. I am better with  more durable paper.

Whereabouts do you live? I would have thought there would be Halloween wrapping paper somewhere. I'm trying to find some on the internet now... so far I've just found ribbon, you could get plain black paper and then had orange ribbon or halloweeen ribbon.

Or check out etsy, there does seem to be some nice halloween packaging on there :)

Also! Another question:

Do you like smellies? Like bubble bath, soap, moisturiser etc? If so, what kinds of smells do you like?

To answer my own question, yes I do! I like things that smell of vanilla, coconut, honey, lavender. I especially like things from Lush.  :biggrin:

Smelly things?

Omg I loooooove scented candles! You have no idea. They're all over my room lol. Yankee Candle is like my favorite shop. For scents I like: light floral scents, if they're not too strong (something like liliac or lavender is perfect) or something fruity like mango or blueberries, or spicy/earthy aromas like pine needles or sage or herbs! I guess basically I like the smell of growing stuff. XD

Halloween custom?

My MLP custom collection is all dragon-themed so if it falls under that, then yes! :D

I REALLY need my partner to answer this. ANYONE who sees this please answer in hopes that you may be that person. It's very important.

If you received a pony that displayed very well from your wishlist but had an issue.....brown stains on her butt under her tail (looks to be internal mold but not cancer), would you still like to have her? You really need to move her tail to see the brunt  of it, but when she's on the shelf and otherwise, she's just lovely.

Also, if you have a pony on your wishlist that's prone to a little bit of rust on her symbols because they contain glitter, would you be okay with receiving that pony if she has a little bit of rust?

PLEASE ANSWER!  :)

I'm still under the conviction that brown spots multiply and infect other ponies, so no pony with anything brown on it comes thru my door.
A little bit of rust on her symbols I guess I could live with though ^__^

I'd really prefer not to receive anything with brown spots that might be mold or cancer.  I'm kind of grossed out by ponies that have nasty insides >_<  A bit of rust on her symbols is fine if she is otherwise lovely.

I don't mind about brown spots or a bit of rust! My flat is a bit like a rescue centre for broken MLPs so any pony is pretty much fair game! Apart from if they have bits of them missing. And even then sometimes  :blush:

Also omg since we're in the NBC swap I was trying to find NBC wrapping paper. I cannot find any online. ;-; Has anyone seen any? You would think with it still being so popular it would be around. >_<

Nope, I'm still on a wrapping paper mission. I have so far managed to find some with skulls on. I honestly did not think this would be so hard!

Honestly I'm not finding anything, and I'm getting a bit frustrated. I found little candy treat bags to use as a last resort, but not all items are small enough to fit in those. >_<

At this rate I'm going to have to make my own! Argh! There are lots of cute bags on etsy, but I don't think they're big enough for ponies!

Haha great. Well, I figure at that moment it's either I spam this thread or I look for more ponies to buy... and I have bought too many already! And now I have graduated onto more expensive ponies I am going to be quite poor  :shocked:

I am wondering if I should just throw the pony with the dirty rear in as an 'extra' pony. I will have to buy one to replace her. Kinda sucks.

I did get some extras today at the store for this swap.

Haha well I have spent a good deal of time on the internets trying to solve the wrapping paper problem, I think I have just about managed it! (going with fabric). I am staying off ebay though, it is dangerous.

I'm good thanks! I've been working from home for some of the day, which I discovered I like a lot more than working in the office.

Eeek. How many ponies do you actually have? Or is that not a question that should be asked?

Maddy - I have some kind of appropriate scraps but I have found good stuff on ebay! (I feel like a walking ad for ebay recently). It is a little on the expensive side in comparison to wrapping paper, but then again it could be reused so...

Haha yes, fair enough. This is the first weekend I've been in my flat for... about 4 weeks I think.

I have been cleaning ponies to go in the swap box. I have a box already with stuff in it, it's getting a bit hectic looking! I have been over to the Brag Arena looking at boxes from other swaps and it's making me paranoid mine won't be exciting enough  >_<

I actually haven't gotten any ponies in yet for the box, but I've had them on hold till I got paid the other day. ;)  I should have some coming in this week I hope, and then I have to start sorting these boxes. Mailed the box for Cat's swap today or rather my wife did. I have this one and the Tiny Pony swap...and one on another forum. I have a check list of items, since I have everyone's stuff coming from everywhere. :lol:

Thank goodness for some sort of organization or I'd be lost. :lol:

That's a lot of swaps! I think I finally solved the wrapping problem, although it still irks me that I seem to be completely unable to find halloween paper anywhere.

I am just paranoid now I won't get nice enough things  :| I am probably being silly though. Condition of ponies is so hard to know when its for someone else! I am so unpicky!

Yes it is! Might have went a little swap crazy since they seem like fun. :blush:  That's ok though, because I love giving presents and buying people things. It's just right up my alley, and once my packages come in I should be done honestly. Just the paper. :mad: I wish we had more stores here with options, but we really only have Walmart and Walgreens. I hate the idea of driving two hours to go get wrapping paper, so I will come up with something.

I feel your pain. I'm not picky.  My home is where the ponies everyone discards come to live...or take over. Whichever :lol:

Just wait, when you live together if they don't collect things it might get a bit crazy. The other day she freaked out because she got in the shower and there were ponies in there. Whoops...I had been using the shower head on high blast to clean one out on the inside. :lol:

Which one did you get? I have a childhood one with her saddle, but the saddle won't stay on anymore. I think about gluing it to her sometimes, but that seems mean.

Ponies like to multiply in large numbers. Maybe you had one and she divided? :P

If you received a pony that displayed very well from your wishlist but had an issue.....brown stains on her butt under her tail (looks to be internal mold but not cancer), would you still like to have her? You really need to move her tail to see the brunt  of it, but when she's on the shelf and otherwise, she's just lovely.

Hmm, I'm really trying to upgrade the ones I do have and stick to buying ponies in the best shape possible for the ones I'm missing so I'm probably going to have to say no to any moldy or rusty ponies.  :(

I think the reason is that people don't typically gift at Halloween that much.   What I saw in the stores was a very small amount.  I don't think stores are expecting people to buy a lot of it.  Oh and I have another idea. What about getting black, purple or orange wrapping paper and using Halloween stickers to decorate it?  Okay..I will stop bugging you guys LOL.

This swap is make me start to kind of panic now. One of the ponies I got my partner is lackluster (Miss Poopy Butt pony, as I now call her). I actually don't think I wanna throw her in as an extra for fear that she may contaminate other sin the box. So I have two GOOD ponies for my partner so far that I think they will be happy with. I want to get at least three more. Time is ticking away. I need Friday to get here so I can buy the last ones I need. Then it's time to do the meat of the Advent Calendar Swap.

I am scared that I won't be able to find ponies in super-awesome condition for my partner. I want them to be happy.

These year I found at least a wrapping paper with spiders (funny ones) on it.

I totally forgot! Last night I got another VERY nice pony for my partner on eBay. I also agreed to get another eBay seller to give me an extra couple of days to pay for a BIN, so now I need to get just one more pony.

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't checked in more often, I've been absolutely swamped at work  :work: I just wanted to let everyone know I'm still around ;) I got some great stuff for my partner in the mail and intend to buy some additional goodies when I go to the Ponycon in the UK in a couple of weeks, the deadline for shipping is after so that works out awesome  :frolic:

I probably missed some questions, I did see a question about smellies, bath oil and such; I'm very allergic to perfume so I'd rather not.

Let me know if I need to answer other stuff :) Hope you all had an awesome weekend!

To answer a few more questions:

Please no smellies for me. I'm to allergic to most stuff.
Also please no rust/mold for me either. (Rusted tail doesn't bother me though)
I wouldn't mind a baby G1 plushie but otherwise I don't collect them so I would pass

I actually haven't found orange or black tissue paper even....but I'm going to see if my sister can find some and mail it to me. :P  If all else fails swap partner your stuff might show up in some other sort of wrapping paper.

I am going to have to say No also to plushies.  I have quite a few and honestly they are taking up way more space than I would like them to.

Let me see if I can catch up on a few questions...


Smellies/bath stuff?

Good on soaps/shower gels and lotions, but anything else would be fine! Big time bath girl (love Lush, too! Their bath bombs are so great!), and love spicy, fall scents. Nothing too floral, please.

G3 Halloween custom?

Sure! Have a fall G3 custom I purchased from an Arena member last year, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind a buddy.

Rust and mold?

Nothing too major, would prefer no mold (allergies).

G1 Plush?

Only pony plush I am really into are the recent G4 releases from Funrise (have Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie), but I do like plushies, in general.

My Target has a good chunk of their Halloween stuff out now, so I hope to pick up some stuff later in the week! I hope my partner gets the chance to post some more stuff soon! Would love to hear their answers to some of the questions that have been asked.  ^.^

Oh I missed questions...

G1 Plushies - I would have to say no unfortunately - I had a collection which I ended up selling as they were hogging too much shelf space

Scents - I am a "fruity" lady :P In better words as long as things are citrus and not floral based I am happy :)

If you received a pony that displayed very well from your wishlist but had an issue.....brown stains on her butt under her tail (looks to be internal mold but not cancer), would you still like to have her? You really need to move her tail to see the brunt  of it, but when she's on the shelf and otherwise, she's just lovely.

That'd be fine with me. I'm really not too picky.

Also, if you have a pony on your wishlist that's prone to a little bit of rust on her symbols because they contain glitter, would you be okay with receiving that pony if she has a little bit of rust?

See above answer

Any G1 plushies ya'll are looking for?

Sure! I have Blossom, Bowtie, Cotton Candy, Firefly, Glory, & Parasol, but I'm not opposed to any you'd like to send even if I already have them! :lovey: plushies



I'm ready to ship this box now so I can't quit finding things my partner "neeeeeeeeeeeeds".

I know right Kat? 

Ok, let's play another game.  I sorta got the idea from Cat and Party's thread about guess the pony.  But this is going to be guess "What Scary Movie?" I will post a clue and then you ask questions to try and guess which one I am talking about.  I will try to keep it to a movie that we are all probably familiar with.

I will start and then who ever gets it right, gets to go next.

So my clue is: TV, yep simply TV!

I REALLY need my partner to answer this. ANYONE who sees this please answer in hopes that you may be that person. It's very important.

If you received a pony that displayed very well from your wishlist but had an issue.....brown stains on her butt under her tail (looks to be internal mold but not cancer), would you still like to have her? You really need to move her tail to see the brunt  of it, but when she's on the shelf and otherwise, she's just lovely.

PLEASE ANSWER!  :)

I wouldn't have a problem with the brown mark under the tail thing but I'm so not keen on symbol rust :yikes:

Post Merge: September 18, 2012, 07:56:56 AM

Also, just realised I answered the above question previously, however I meant that I would not mind a pony with a mark, but I really hate symbol rust,.... I'be got one with symbol rust and it drives me insane. :blush:



Bath stuff/smellies?

No thankyou :)

Seeing as I'm probably not the easiest person to buy extras for, I will always happily accept ANY G1 accessories...think I've mentioned that before but I've been posting so much I can't even remember :drunk:

Teaser time! The bulk of the stuff for my partner came in today. Since I'm home wrapped a little. In the end the wrapping I've come up with is candy treat bags I had bought a few weeks ago for our treaters. I was curious if stuff would fit, and it did!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Now to just decorate this box and get a few more things in. Also tape these bags down. Everytime they  move they rustle and want to come off. :lol:

I'm an oddball. I'm not what you call big on accessories unless it's for baby ponies. Their little diapers, rattles, and toys are cute. I have a rather large sealed baggie filled to the brim with ponywear. I don't like ponywear at all.....the only one I like is Candy and Hearts. I happily accept duplicates of that outfit.
But this baggie has been in my room for almost two years unused or looked at. I'm afraid to go through this baggie. Why? The clothes smell moldy because they were stored in a basement, and some are a wee bit dirty. I thought about selling it on eBay but I am too lazy to take pictures and sort it out.
So to you accessory people out there, how happy would you be to receive this baggie if you had to clean it up yourself?

Hm, the bag of accessories. I like limited accessories. I like ponywear but I wouldn't want a ton of shoes and combs. At the moment I am looking for Baby Quackers' comb (dark purple duck comb) and any of her other accessories, apart from the panties and the toothpaste. I want to get her stuff. I would be very happy with any pony costumes, especially baby pony costumes.

Also I like ribbons for ponies' hair, and I wouldn't mind any of the accessories that came with Rosette. Apart from that I'm not an accessory monster, and I know if I end up with lots of bits of pony things they'll get lost or in a mess and I have a lot of stuff in my flat as it is.

Phew. That was an over-long reply to the accessory question, possibly.  :lol:

And a new question! Do you watch Friendship is Magic? Any other animated shows you are into?

I do watch FiM. I used to be into anime a bit, but have taken a hiatus. Geeking out over the new Ninja Turtles cartoon that is premiering later this month. ^^; Also love the Venture Bros. Go Team Venture!

Yes. I do watch the show little now and then and I really enjoy it. I'm also a big fan of fosters home for imaginary friends, PPG, Clone wars and tons and tons of 80's and 90's cartoons. Like Thundercats, Swat Cats, LLL and Moondreamers (long time favorite.) I realise now that this list could go on forever, I guess I'm just a nog time animated series/cartoon lover :) (Though not as nog as my twin sister, she have à really impressive collection of them too! :) )

As for other animated shows, I love Invader ZIM, Doug (old Nickelodeon show), As Told by Ginger, Hey Arnold, and anime in general. I love lots of anime.

Cartoon wise I love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby Doo (oldies),  Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ren and Stimpy, Spongebob, Disney stuff (Lion King, Beauty and the Best and Little Mermaid are my favs).....lol Family Guy even if it's not much of a kids show. Also adore the 90's X men cartoons. ^.^

Maddie, that is an awesome teaser!! As for wrapping paper, you can use regular paper and stamp it or draw on it (but make sure the inked surface isn't next to the pony just in case) I think I may do B&W wrapping paper with orange and black ribbons...

Oh, my LAST pony came today  :frolic: I can now start wrapping!!

I don't know about g1 plushies. And all the other questions XD just send me whatever you want, I promise to love it!!!! You know what would be fun? An April Fool's swap where you send a bunch of gag gifts and a spring-themed pony they would actually like.

(For anyone wondering what they are, they're the same exact thing as Candbury eggs that come out only for the Easter season, but the cream filling is colored white and green instead of white and yellow.)

FiM? Other cartoons?

I really enjoy watching FiM but I don't think it's the most amazing thing on the planet. XD I don't consider myself a brony. But animation in general is one of my interests, especially Japanese anime.

Kicking us up from page 2!

Let's see if I missed any questions...

Rust/mold: tail rust is the one thing I really really hate so please no! I don't like mold either but if the pony was awesome overall I could live with it, though to me these flaws do not fall under near mint/mint which I strive for swap ponies always to be.

G1 plush:I don't collect them.

I'm planning to go to town this week to get some awesome Dutch candies and such. Not sure when I can ship since I am still waiting for some ponies to arrive.

Hey, I'm not entirely ready yet either. I feel like I am am severely lacking in extras but I may have to buy more ponies to make up for it. I am worried about how good this box will be. I seem to be struggling with finding the right things for this one.

I think some people should start stating what extras they like besides what they sent the swap host. May make things a bit easier. Just think of random things you like or use. I hope my partner responds. :D

That's a good idea. For the record I like smelly things from Lush, stickers, glitter, pens (especially those paint marker things, I have no idea how much they cost though) ribbons for ponies hair, tea (all kinds!), anything to do with rabbits, owls, ponies. Also every time I go into the shops I see more Hello Kitty stuff so anything HK related would work too.

I think I may be repeating myself  :lol:

I think I have most stuff for my partner but I am having trouble with the condition of a couple of the ponies so I think I will end up with extra ponies just in case. Also I'm waiting on some coming from overseas.

I also have a soft spot for stationary. I've gotten a new penpal just recently ;) So writing paper would be cool.
And I like refrigerator magnets too :) Especially those whith text and/or city/places names. And my dogs love treats too, and my fianceé is crazy about everything Clone wars ^__^

Scoops it's funny you mentioned magnets!  I love fridge magnets!! But my mom came over last year when I got my new fridge and told me to get rid of all them because it looked junky!!! And I did  :blush:

I have slowly accumulated more though.  I just take them down and throw them in drawer when she comes over  :P

It's bad I dunno if I've answered these?

Monster High?

no, no dolls ever


Do you like hair accessories???
for my ponies not for me. I don't have long hair. :P  I'm a hats and bandana girl


Do you like smellies? Like bubble bath, soap, moisturizer etc? If so, what kinds of smells do you like?
no smells make me sick. I do use a lot of hand sanitizer at school though, but the non smelly kind

Partner would you like a G3 Halloween custom? 
no thanks I'm not fond of customs

Rust and mold?
sure I can handle that

G1 Plush?
Yes, I don't really own any sooo all are cool with me. :lol:

Things I like
my likes are so random it's hard to pinpoint. I mentioned a lot before as well...hmm little things I like. Office supplies, sticky notes, staples...weird but I use them in class. I like neat little shapes (like I buy these neon colored ones that look like oh the bubbles on a comic where it would say "Pow!" or "Whack!". I use those to put up on my walls of words we've learned in class. 

I collect 3D eye glasses for some reason. :blink:  Then my other stuff mentioned before. I see people mention stationary. I have new penpals so stationary would be awesome. ummmm ummmm

I like scarves! Especially knitted ones. Pinks and purples are always good.

Tea, all kinds, coffee - beans. But beans are expensive so... I do also like ground coffee. Especially pecan flavoured :biggrin:

So you like scarfs or any other fashion style accessoires?  Yes, I like scarves and wear them a lot during the fall and winter.  Chunky knits are nice, or the finer pashmina-style wraps.  I prefer neutral, natural colors for scarves, like taupe.  On the other hand, I like to tie brightly colored scarves on my handbags :)  I'm always looking for interesting statement fashion jewelry as well--things that look good with a little black dress for work. 

Tea, Coffe, Hot Chocolate?  I love tea of all kinds.  My fiance is a big coffee drinker.  I don't drink hot coco often, but I like to add chocolate powder to coffee along with milk to make a nice mocha :) 

More people need to answer questions and post in this thread!!

I wear lots of scarfs, gloves (usually fingerless ones I'm bad with mittens) and hats. I have a thing about beenies during the winter.

Fingerless gloves would be cool. It freezes here in the winter so I do wear scarves and hats every day.

No tea please, I do not like it at all.

So you like scarfs or any other fashion style accessoires? I like scarves as long as they're not scratchy- my skin likes to break out with wool and the like. I also like cute beanies or whatever they're called. Toboggans, maybe?


Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate? Not a big fan of tea or coffee but I do like hot chocolate every now and then.


Extras that were not listed in swap PM:
Aside from what I have listed in my swap info on my wishlist...I've been wanting an Ursa from Moondreamers to go with my Roary. I also collect BJDs so SD and Yo-SD size casual girl clothes would be much appreciated. I can't really think of much else  >_<

I have all the ponies for my partner and have most of the treats covered. Working on some extras and I think I've decided on my wrapping.

Here's the game from my previous post about it.

Ok, let's play another game.  I sorta got the idea from Cat and Party's thread about guess the pony.  But this is going to be guess "What Scary Movie?" I will post a clue and then you ask questions to try and guess which one I am talking about.  I will try to keep it to a movie that we are all probably familiar with.

I will start and then who ever gets it right, gets to go next.

So my clue is: TV, yep simply TV!

so I ended up with 4 (!!) Pina Coladas in the Make a Wish List Swap... all I bought from ebay or other collectors have issues I can't accept...and when I was at the german con I found a Pina Colada in acceptable condition.

Hope you can fix it!

Post by: DazzleKitty on September 28, 2012, 09:51:06 AM
Wow, the deadline is coming up. I have one more item coming in the mail. I just hope my partner isn't insanely picky. To me, all the ponies I bought are in great shape, but I don't know how finicky my partner is. I'm not super finicky but like mine to be in presentable shape. I saw all mine are beyond that. It's just that one pony I got looked beautiful in the auction picture and looks a little bit yellowed around the neck in person. *sigh*

But I went through my box with my mom and thinks it's a nice box and she thinks the ponies are fine. I will say one is SO lovely I wish I could keep her for myself, LOL. But I won't do that.

I am gonna wanna ship mine out as soon as I can. It's okay if we get them out like a week before deadline, right? Now sure it that's too early or not. Wanna ship it while I have money, LOL.

I was wondering the same - can we sent a few days earlier then shipping deadline?
I usually ship a bit earlier to make sure my partner musn't wait that long for a box. :)


Yes, a few days earlier is fine.  But please take note that your name will not be cleared until the actually shipping date.

@Sailor is the movie from the 90's?

And yes it's clear that we don't have our names cleared before the shipping deadline. But I guess my box will not arrive before the deadline when I ship a few days earlier. :)

Random movie guess! Is it Beetlejuice (Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!)?

Just won a pony for my partner! That puts me to two, will have to see what else I can come up with!

Target has some good Halloween stuff in their $1 section now, if anyone is still looking.

Loving the cute little ponies dressed for Halloween avatars! *Scurries off to Adoptables*

The last item for my partner will be here tomorrow! FINALLY! So I am going to wrap tomorrow and hopefully to tomorrow evening have some teaser pics posted. I plan on shipping this Friday if that isn't too early. I get paid and have lots of overtime so I just wanna get it out before all my money is gone, LOL.

My granny couldn't find any Halloween wrapping paper so she got some orangeish paper. It's called Apple Red. Just gotta get some black ribbon and I'll be good to go on that. I also got another pony as an extra and a few other vintage items for my partner. I figure she can enjoy those all year 'round ^_^

I try so hard to stay away from there lol. I go to target a couple times a week for necessities (it's right across the street), I think I have probably memorized everything in their dollar section at any current time.   >_<
Tomorrow I will be doing some non-target shopping for my partner though!

I get so paranoid as the swap comes to an end, especially when I start seeing the teaser pics. I'm afraid I'm not going to do enough for my partner and my box won't compare to all the awesome other ones! I really don't want to let my partner down, but I try to stay close to the cost limit too. (When I see people posting things like "I went way over my spending limit!" I get really nervous!) Does anyone else get like this, or am I just a nutter? ^_^;

@dragonflitter you're not a nutter! I know what you mean, it's my first swap and it is a bit nerve-wracking, but I figure that if you've put in a lot of effort and love then your partner will love the package, no matter how much it cost  :lovey:

If other people want to spend $80 on their box that's completely up to them however none of us are obliged to spend a penny more than the budget ;) of course extras and shipping are not included in the budget.

What partypony said! I tend to go overboard a bit but I don't expect that from my partner. As long they tried to make an awesome box that's suited to me (like has the ponies I was looking for for instance) inside the limits I'm thrilled. I have yet to be disappointed by a swap box. My partners don't always spend a ton, but they always try to send fun things and awesome ponies and I can tell they thought about me and that makes their boxes, even the ones who stuck strictly to the limits, the best box in the whole swap! After all, it's the one that suits me best of all!

I am with Party and Kat - the fun of a swap is as much the giving as the receiving so I am sure as long - being on budget and putting thought & love into a box is just as good as blasting a budget :)

Thanks! But all it is, is trick or treat bags cut up and retaped together :) I couldn't find any Halloween paper or solid black, orange, or green :( So I just made my own.

I spend over the budget because I love to give!! It's so much funnier for me watching what my partner gets then what I receive :) As long as I can see my partner tried...I'm happy!!

Oh wow!  This is all very exciting!  I feel like a slacker, lol.  My partner's things are not wrapped...


I apologize to whoever has gotten me,too.  I know I have been MIA with all the questions, but I will try to throw in some last-minute answers.  I am VERY easy though - don't worry!

I work a LOT so this will be nice just to be in, lol!

Here are some more questions:



Also, I have extra FIM trading cards on hand--would you like to receive some as extras?
Nah - they might not last in my house.

Do you like cute-halloweeney stuff or are you more of a creepy/serious halloween person?
Both.

Regardless of price what is your all time favorite pony?
G1 Green Baby Medley in Yellow.

Pets?
Golden retriever and a Pomeranian.

Kids?
I have a two and a half year old boy.

Blind bags?
I have very few.

Favorite candy? Candy that grosses you out?
I like everything!  Oh, except for Malted milk balls...  I cannot eat them.

Favorite Halloween movie that you don't own?
Drawing a blank...

Small Halloween favors?
Sure!

Is there anything that creeps you out but not in a good way? Like a you would throw the box and freak out?
Nothing I can think of...

Favorite type of decoration?
Everything.

Favorite thing to do on Halloween?
Hand out candy and hang out with my family watching scary movies.

Halloween books?
No, thank you.  I have no time to read, haha!

How do you feel about re-pinking? If I find a pony that has faded hair would you like me to re-pink or leave it as is?
I like it all original.

British sweets/candy?
Love!Sure!

Monster High?
I Love them, but not to have.

Do you like smellies? Like bubble bath, soap, moisturiser etc? If so, what kinds of smells do you like?/b]
No, thank you.

G3 Halloween custom?
Like Hasbro-made stuff ;)

Do you like hair accessories???
Not really.

Still shopping here, too! *Joins slacker club.* Still waiting on an Ebay pony to ship. Hopefully soon since I won it back on Sunday. Do have a good bit, though, and won't need to get too much more once Ebay pony arrives.

I don't think my partner ever really posted much to this thread, so I hope they like what I got them.  :/

I squeezed in some time before work today to decorate my pony surprise bags...I am no artist so I am doing my best...so once I am done with the decorating and the glitter and glue is dry you will be getting a teaser...
I have all the ponie and the card
I need to buy some candy and such...
is there a set amount we need to spend on extras?
I covered my $25 with ponies not including shipping and have purchased stuff for  the wrapping and tyhe card which is not counted in that price...but wondering if there is a set amount to spend on treats,please pm me with this information
thanks

Oh no! :(   I hope you figure out what happened to it and she arrives safely.


I am SOOOO terrified at how much shipping is going to cost me when I go to the post office on Monday. I think I might faint!

I stalked my mailbox all day cause I've been watching the tracking info. I don't know why it would say out for delivery and then delivered if it wasn't.. I'm praying it'll show up tomorrow!!!
I hope one of my neighbors didn't get it by mistake.

I'm so upset. If it's lost this will the be the second time this has happened to me with a swap.

Teaser!

Sadly the only thing I could ever find to wrap with ended up being trick or treat candy bags. :blush:  I attempted to decorate the box again, but this time it was with my limited construction paper skills. I wonder if any of you guys can even tell what the decorations are supposed to be. :lol:

It looks awesome maddie!

I used treat bags a couple years ago and they worked perfect.

If it wouldn't be to much trouble can I have those who shipped please send me a PM or send me one when you do? It will be easier for me to keep track of  :biggrin:

I got a different package I was waiting for today, but the pony did not show up.
My mail carrier really sucks. Sometimes there are packages waiting for me at the post office and I don't even get a notice. Maybe they have the pony there.. I don't know why though, it surely would have been small enough to fit in my mail box. And said it was delivered!

I am really upset. I've been having a difficult time finding ponies for my partner and this one was so perfect. I am also running low on funds.

 :sad:

Nice teasers!

I use treat bags from time to time as well - they're always cute and very useful. :)

This time I used the Treat bag to cover the candy , because I wasn't sure if they give my partner away. ;)

:hug: I hope the pony arrives, maybe you should go to the depot and check incase somehow it's ended up there? I'm sure whatever you've done will be just great though, don't panic.

Post by: Enolaalone on October 08, 2012, 05:29:10 AM
I'm still waiting on 2 ponies, although if they don't get here in time I have a spare pony. It's... complicated! Anyway, I will be fine to ship on time either way. I haven't wrapped yet because I don't want the ponies to be cooped up any longer than they have to be :)
Title: Re: *~Nightmare Before Christmas~*Halloween Swap*Partners Sent~Start Shopping!
Post by: Unicorn_pops on October 08, 2012, 02:32:39 PM
I plan on shipping either Wednesday or Friday.
Title: Re: *~Nightmare Before Christmas~*Halloween Swap*Partners Sent~Start Shopping!
Post by: DazzleKitty on October 08, 2012, 04:33:21 PM
I forgot today is a holiday and the PO is closed. I really was planning on getting my box out today. *sigh*
Well, tomorrow I work. I'm gonna have my mom take the package to the PO to weigh the box and get a shipping estimate, and to get the appropriate customs form for its size. I will fill out the form tomorrow night and give her the money to ship it on Wednesday.

When I think about this swap I feel anxious and sad. I don't feel like my partner is going to like their extras or ponies. :(  I can't tell if they were picky or not....it wasn't ever clear. The ponies I got are in great shape IMO but to some they may not be. And I found that this person was extremely hard to buy for so I just put very random nicknacks in there. I'm worried about it. I just hope I'm wrong and they are okay with it.

Oh Dazzlekitty  :hug: I bet your partner will LOVE the box! I surely would! Sometimes I'm wery picky but I've never gotten a box I did'nt like because I find the biggest joy with swapps is the fact that your partner put time and thought in the box and this to me is the most important part  :flow: and the nicknacks is what makes swapp-boxes special ^__^ ponies are ponies but the extras are what makes the boxes special <3

*back to spamming this thread*

Okay, I have got one of the ponies I was expecting so I've decided they're pretty much sorted. I wrapped most things, I just need to make a card and do a few other little fiddly things. And wait for the ponies who were in the spa to have dry hair :lol:

I'm more excited now because my package is starting to look Halloween-y. Pics to come!

SweetScoops, thanks for the kind and encouraging words. :)  I looked through it one last time before I taped it up last night and it looks better than what I thought. She has a LOT of stuff, that's for sure. My mom is going to get a shipping quote and a customs form for me to fill out tonight. I hope to have it out tomorrow.

Post by: Sternenstaub on October 09, 2012, 09:02:44 AM
No worries DazzleKitty - I'm sure your partner will love it!
I'm also a picky collector and my wantlist aren't the easiest ones - but I always try to add anything which is easy to find on the marked - and as other said before - every box is special and the goodies make every box individuell.

Sure  - i'm a bit nervous as well - my partners list wasn't easy and I wasn#t really sure what Extras I could add - but I hope I picked ou the things she likes and makes her happy from what I was able to find out. :)

I heard from my eBay seller, and the pony should be shipping out today. May try to get one more, then just need candy, wrapping and a card. Will likely be shipping closer to deadline.

Ok noone panic!!  Because I did  :P

It seems Salli was in the Halloween Swap on the German forum and Maddie was her partner over there.

@ Salli if I could get you to change the title on your thread in brags that would be wonderful since your package was not from this swap.  :)

Yes Salli is in the swap in my Forum and it seems that she thought the box was from the arena swap.  :P

Maybe Salli can change the title of the topic and the people who are in the Swap at the Wichtelwelt can post and share their brags here on the board as well. ;)
Sharing pony pressies is always awesome!!

Anyway Maddie - great box!!

Here is my teaser pic!!! So my stores have no Halloween wrapping paper, so I made my own. I used a black plastic table cloth and wrapped some of the stuff and then decorated them with Halloween stickers! (Note to partner... some of the stickers are Glow In The Dark and they easily come off the tablecloth material so you can save them!) I also found some Halloween treat bags and put stuff in there too! For the pic, I threw this creepy cloth over and threw some fake leaves on it! Can't wait to send this out... now I need to find a box!

Aww, thank you guys for the offers of help. I am still searching.. not sure why I'm having such a hard time with this. I'm also really discouraged because I thought I would be good but then everything went downhill after the pony I was waiting for disappeared in the mail. No it wasn't found :(
I thought I had a second one but that fell through as well (luckily I hadn't purchased her yet)

Apologies for my grumpy looking dog in the background he has a cuddly toy obsession and has been hunting the little pumpkin for about a fortnight now and was not happy to see it being packed in a box :P

@Salli: Your Ms. Poe is adorable! I'm sure my Mr. Poe would agree, if he wasn't such a cranky old man cat, LOL.

She is a sweetie, but she likes to run off and hide in people's garages. Your cat is Mr. Poe?? That's so cool! My Mr. Severus looks/acts like a cranky old man cat but he's really a snuggler. His expression is very disdainful though :D

So many cute packages!! And Ponylady, you are soooooo much more patient than I am! There is no way I would wait for my hubby! (Of course he'd never wait for me either XD)

Am still working right now (thankfully, I work from home Wednesdays so I was here to receive the package), and then I have my adoption event volunteering and an MRI scheduled for tonight, so not sure if I will be able to get brag pics up tonight or tomorrow.

I am so glad it arrived safely, partpony! I was getting worried. Be careful when opening it. There is something I am afraid you'll tear if you cut too deep. Hopefully you get this message in time, LOL.

OMG :lol: the most giant bag of cheese puffs I've ever seen :dribble: LOVE!

I opened carefully as I always figure there will be something near the top of the box :)

I just realized my ditz moment. You knew who had sent the box so you obviously had already opened it. XD

Glad you like the cheese puffs! Those are a favorite of mine too. Anything Cheetos is usually awesome.

Got everything packed and ready to go! I'll take pictures tonight and drop the box off at the post office tomorrow. I hope my partner likes it when it arrives! ^_^

Actually I hope my partner doesn't recoil in horror when they open the box.... I swear to god I am the WORST wrapping person on the face of the planet. You know cruel people who wrap their presents entirely in duct tape before giving them? Even those presents look good compared to mine! >.<;;

I couldn't find any Halloween wrapping paper so when I was at the dollar store, I found a pack of something called 'metallic tissue paper.' I thought to myself that sounds pretty neat! So I bought it, wondering how they got the metallic shine on the tissue paper. Well I just opened the package last night to wrap everything..... it's not tissue paper at all. It's GIANT sheets of super thin foil! 0___0

Still kind cool but... geez! Very awkward to wrap with! >.<

I'll post teasers so you can all see my horrible wrapping skills tonight lol. :P

I guess she'll pick the parcel up over the weekend.

I thought I must be the only person on the Arena who used their phone to lurk. :P  Right now I'm on at work online....what I shouldn't be doing, LOL!

It would be cool if my box came today because it's my birthday and I am not going to have a dang thing to open from anyone, LOL. I'm too old for that according to my parents. My two brothers want to take me out tonight and get me polluted drunk. XD Being around them makes me fear for my safety sometimes, LOL. But partner, whether it arrives on my birthday or not (or even after Halloween for some reason), it will be loved and appreciated tons and tons.   <3

LOL, it's okay. I got a 3DS XL today so I'm all good! It was sorta like a birthday present to myself, even if I had to trade in a bunch of stuff to get it.

He is very very happy however I have been unable to separate him from his pumpkin for the last 2 hours - he even took it on his walk!

Awww! Thank you guys...he is my baby bubba [even though he is currently growling at a man dressed as a tomato on the television and I cant hear the movie]. He is a Wire Fox Terrier...the same kind as Snowy in Tin Tin!

Wow, I have never heard of Wire Fox Terriers before, but now that you make the comparison, I can totally see it!  Snowy is soooo adorable.  And I love that Harry is growling at a man in a tomato costume, lol.  :lol:

Happy Halloween from me :P

When driving home tonight I saw the same man dressed as Scooby Doo again - I see this man every single year wandering along the high street on Halloween night. I cant decide whether to be impressed with his determination to be Scooby again or bemoan the fact I cant watch a Scooby cartoon without thinking about him?

Hi sweety! I'm thinking you are my partner but I promise I'm trying to get a redelivery of it but my mom can only help out on Saturdays (she works through the week) and today wasn't a good day with the big storm getting ready to hit WV. If I'd thought ahead of time, I could've warned the swap host about the signature problem...no biggie...my fault. But I promise I'll get it!!

Oh no!! My tracking shows that the package was refused and is being returned? I really hope this is not true, how strange is that?

This is always the most stressful part of a swap... after everything is mailed out, waiting for everyone to report they got them. >.<

Still nothing from my post office, but I'm right in the middle of Sandy the Frankenstorm so mail will probably be delayed...

What do you mean, stopxmotion? :(

I was really late getting my box out, even though I tried so hard.. but I guess not enough. I don't feel like I should join any more swaps cause bad luck just always follows me around. I had bad things happen to me with the first swap I did too.

What is important is you did what you could and got your box out.  Don't stress, it will be ok.

Don't feel bad stopmotion, getting out a little late isn't that bad. My first swap I missed the post office on Saturday which meant my package couldn't be mailed out til Monday. Most swap participants are patient, even though it's hard to wait! lol
