Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!

[Rhini]

I FINALLY GOT MY BOX!!!!!  and my first thought was......I KNEWWWWW ITTTTTT! 

She played it SO cool, but I just knew!!! My swap partner is the amazing Sunshine!
(who I'm sure wants to kill me for making her wait until this morning when she knew i had it last night but I was so exhausted I literally passed out after my friends left! So I waited until this morning because I needed to do this post right)

As soon as I saw that purple packing tape I squeed!

Wow I just......I really don't know what to say, what can accurately express the amount of gratitude I feel right now. I'm tearing up writing this, because I honestly think this is the most special and thoughtful box of gifts I have ever recieved in my whole life. Sunshine went so above and beyond and out of her way to make this box amazing that no matter how many swaps I do in the future I don't think any will ever come close to this. The perfect ponies, the beautiful custom and art, the perfectly thought out extras, the toys for my babies, all HAND MADE wrapping that was so beautiful....it was more than I could have ever hoped for. My friends watched me open everything, and they both agreed they need to give you a hug at the fair because you are the most amazing person ever Sunshine, and I'm inclined to agree!! I can't wait to meet you in person next week (eee!!) and thank you and give you the biggest most squeeshiest of hugs 

Thank you thank you, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I really can't say it enough, I am so touched and ecstatic by these gifts.

wow what a lovely swap box congratulations!!!!

I think your right Rhini no other swap will ever compare to this one, we've all spoken so much and had so much fun together in this swap and we are all getting amazing boxes. I'm gonna need therapy in a few weeks because i guarantee that when this swap is proper over i fall apart missing you all.

Baby Yoyo Reeses peanut butter is gorgeous i think if you had one slice choc spread and one peanut butter it would taste exactly like a peanut buttercup lucky for me Mike don't eat peanut butter so I can scoff it all up hahaha

Lemon drops body is in the pony spa and all my baits are decapitated ready for Mike to pull out the hair which he loves to do I've got the hair ready for one Peachy already it's a dusky pink kinda colour if i can whip up a similar colour for her hearts I'll change them to match too this is gonna be fun!

[Sunshine]

Omgomgomgossshhh I AM SO HAPPY YOU GOT IT!
Oh yeah, I totally tried to play it cool, you know me!

I actually was more worried yesterday, lol hoping nothing or no-one had tried to snag your box out of the office, as you mentioned it was there... hehe Then I got panicky, "OMG she opened it and hates it!" But then I settled down, lol. Realized that was silly unless I had sent you a box of nothing.

I am like... beyond smiling right now, I am SO happy that you liked it! ...I went a bit nutso with the sparkles and bows, haha, when you've got a glue-gun in your hand sometimes it's hard to know when to stop! I am SO HAPPY the chocolate didn't melt, lol that was my worst nightmare... and that everything seemed to be in tact when it got to ya, luckily we don't live far from each other I am just super excited that you love it!! Oh and BTW - funniest thing I learned from shopping your wishlist?
Puppy in my pocket is abbreviated PimP... It was an honor and pleasure being your partner! I had such fun shopping for you!

*Side note: Totally looking forward to seeing you at the fair!! ANDDD the STL Pony meet too right?!?*

I think my absolute favorite pictures are the carnage shots, I giggled, because I know my kitties will be the same way with a "new box!" especially when it has packing material and wrapping paper in it!

Baby Yoyo! Your box to Raven is GORGEOUS! That Mug is really amazing and the ponies look fantastic. I honestly don't know if I've ever seen a jar of Reese's peanut butter, omgosh. I could eat that with a SPOON!! The ponies look great and I really love that drawing you did! I think it's cute how the kitties are all getting gifts too, lol

I think definitely this swap will be one to "live up to" in the future - I don't know if another swap has even hit 111 pages in their "shopping" threads, lol - we seriously ROCK.

Drumroll *brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
Who'sssssss Next?!?

[ravengusty]

I used to have PimPs my favorite was Dotty the liver spotted dalmatian and i used to collect the horses and the littlest pet shop horse in my youth haha

[Mirnyj]

I have a big lure box filled with puppies and kitties from my childhood! They are the best! Wonderful, wonderful boxes Yo-Yo and Sunshine managed to put together.  Can't wait to see some more arriving!

[Sokkis]

Oh Rhini, so lovely box! And cat photos are always adorable.

[court2882]

Rhini that is a great box,  Sunshine did an AMAZING JOB!   

[STLGusty]

I totally shoulda joined this swap...it looks like so much fun!  You guys are getting such awesome boxes!  It's a lot of fun to sit back and watch the excitement and presents get opened!  It's like Christmas morning!

[Rhini]

Aww you totally should have!! It is so much fun though, I can't wait for my partner to post all her pictures!

[mul-ta]

Phew! Now that I'm back home, it's about time I sat down and read this thread, and what a thread! These boxes are gorgeous! Mine has arrived at the post office, I'll be picking it up as soon as I get back home from ballet.  How can I sleep now?

Yuitsu, I'm curious, what's that pink horse-shaped thing in the last picture?

Raven, that's one gorgeous CP Applejack, and the Rainbow Brite horse is my personal favourite. Not a Rainbow Brite person, I wasn't really aware that such plushies exist, but she's super cute! Sunshine, I don't think I've ever seen a jar of Reese's either.

Rhini, that box is just… wow. Sunshine drowned you in gifts! What is more, I just learned I had PimP as a kid

[baby_yoyo]

Oh my gosh Rhini what an amazing box!!!!!! sunshine you did such an amazing job!!
