Let's start with the extras. My favorites candies, chocolate and sour candies! I love my itty bitty Tinker Bell plushie! I collect Tinker Bell and I have wanted one of these ever since I first saw them! A pretty pink bow, so Bowtie and I can match. A notebook with a hand-made Bowtie cover, I love it! The little ice cream is actually lip gloss. Some G4 pencils and stickers. But wait, what's that on the left? It's Bowtie's puffy sticker! I was so excited when I saw it! I really wanted one!

On to the ponies! First up, Italy Bowtie and US Bowtie! Italy Bowtie is so pretty! And she is my first straight hair Italy Bowtie! So now I have both straight and curly hair Italy Bowtie! And of course, it wouldn't be a Bowtie swap box without US Bowtie! US Bowtie will always have a special place in my heart because she is the one who started my whole Bowtie obsession.

Next is this pair of cuties! Euro Bowtie and Baby Bowtie! I was thrilled to see Baby Bowtie in the box! I love baby ponies! And this Baby Bowtie is so minty! I swear she looks like she just fell off her card! And I was happy to see that her mom accompanied her! They look so cute together!

Okay, I think I actually squealed with joy when I unwrapped this pony. It's a custom Twinkle Eye Bowtie! Twinkle Eyes are my favorite pony set and Bowtie is my favorite pony, so for me it really doesn't get any better than this! She is so beautiful! And she is so well done, she looks factory! I can't even tell you how much I love this pony! Words can't express it! I've always admired pinkkittywinks' customs, especially her TEs, and now I actually have one!

So, my bro popped in and was glad to see me home (I had been staying for the last weeks with my boyfriend) because he had one heavy box for me  when he took it out of the car I started laughing really hard, because I knew it was my army swapbox!

Yep, that bandanna is mine now *dukes from the fakies thrown her way by envious swappers*

And even before I opened it, I knew who it was from! Tsuki had already been my culture swap partner so I was surprised to see one more box from her, but delighted at the same time because she's very creative and had spoiled me last time Well, I think it will be really hard to top this box in quite some time

I started with taking out something from the culture swap (will cross-brag about it later) and my squealing started Teas and a mug (which I love! I'm already drinking tea from it now )

But there were still so many things in the box! Here is everything taken out:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I started with the heaviest and biggest package and had been jumping around with its contents for some time before I calmed down. Look what I've got!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Am I guessing correctly that I can use it as a tuffet cover? My grandma used to have such one when I was younger and I loved it Tsuki, you're so talented! I absolutely love it I continued to unpack the package in the pony wrapping paper and picked up another bigger one which revealed a...

Confetti plushie! Aaah, it's the middle of the night now, but tomorrow I need to take pics of her and my Tsunami plushie, as they're made in the same technique She is adorable - I love how you did her hair and she has symbols on her both sides and she is the cutest thing ever

And whoa, just when I thought the handcrafted items just couldn't get any better, I unwrapped this cutie and almost fainted (no seriously, I had to sit down!) My own Confetti as a Takara pony

And she comes with a veil, handcrafted by Tsuki:

and a cap made from the same material as my bandanna! I can't decide which item is cuter

Then I unwrapped some yummy goodies I can't wait to try that peanut butter cub

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


And in the next package was an another amazing gift - a beautiful t-shirt featuring Confetti I think that I'll dress myself in it tomorrow

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


The next package had some G4 confetti, that I will surely be using in my future craft projects

I had already received such amazing gifts and I'm not even half-way done And what I had picked up next again made me squeal and coo over it.

Can you blame me? That is a newborn baby version of one of my favorite Confetti variants, the Argentina Paseo. She's adorable and pretty and oh so perfect. And she came with a sister, which was hiding in another package!

Seriously, I can't get over how adorable those two are. I love them! Tsuki you did an amazing job on them Thank you so much! Tsuki also included some nylon hair for my own Confetti customs

And another package contained an another handmade item - this time it's a magnet featuring UK Confetti with her Wedding Bells outfit from the UK Confetti's backcard

The last package wrapped in the pony-wrapping paper contained an another treasure and one of my most wanted items for some time: US Confetti sticker

And there were still so many packages to unwrap!

So, it's time to introduce some pretty ladies, which were hiding under that wrapping

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


UK Confetti - pure white and with silky hair and perfect symbols.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


US Confetti - probably finally one I'll manage to rehair I love her bleeding symbols

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


UK Confetti - another perfect girl! And I think it might be the variant with paint underneath the glitter I will examine her in the morning in daylight to be sure

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Peru Confetti - just wow. WOW. WOW, WOW, WOW. I swear that after I took her out, I just stroked her hair and kept looking at her. She's beautiful. Yes, I know that it might sound crazy to many, but to me she's beautiful. I have three Peruvian girls, two being the white variant like her and yet she's completely different than them. I love her eyes, they faded to be more pale blue than lavender and her body has a lovely shade of white without patches of discoloration. She's stunning and I love her. Thank you so much Tsuki for hunting her down for me

US Confetti - this girl is so mint, I swear she looks like freshly taken out of the card in the same year she was made. She has no flaws, she's absolutely perfect and I can't take my eyes off her even now. She's the most white girl in my collection now

And the last Confetti, an US girl - I love her funky forelock and how her symbols look now. It makes her unique in her own way and I'm looking for my Confetti girls to be different in some ways

Finally, everything together:

Oh Tsuki, you had spoiled me rotten Thank you so much for putting this box together. I'm glad that you enjoyed it, I hope you had fun with the crafting and with hunting down the ponies. You did a splendid job and you totally made my day with the mug and tea That was very considerate of you and very kind as well. I probably can't thank you enough but I hope the brag shows just how excited you made me

[clones_rebellion]

Holy CONFETTI!!!!!!!!!!! That box is freakin' amazing!

Wow what awesome boxes and look at all the pony goodness...

[Talismarr]

Seaponey, I definitely did! I will cherish all the Cocos, I especially love the Perfume Puff rehair you did. I was able to put her forelock facing forward, she almost has an 80's hair vibe now! So awesome. I've lined them all up on my shelf, and hopefully my boyfriend won't be too weirded out next time he visits!  I already filled him in on what to expect! I love them, they're awesome 

Jennifer, I'm so glad you loved everything, I was so excited for you to get the box! Pinkkittywinks did an amazing job on that custom, and I didn't know that TEs were your favorite set, so that's a bonus! They are one of mine as well! I'm glad I was able to find a variety of Bowties for you, there were some that I didn't know existed! (Like the Euro Bowtie in the collectors pose!) I also had fun with the journal, so glad you liked it as well.
So glad you liked it, it was fun!

These last few posts have been awesome! Seems like everyone's boxes arrived at the same time!

  I'm glad you like her.  She was more of a challenge than I thought    If you were able to tame her forelock - that's totally awesome, because I was struggling with it!  And I agree with the 80's hair do -  she totally has a crimp style thing going on but by the time I was done,  I really liked it.

i squeed so loud when i opened these two that my bf came in the room to see what was going on 

THANK YOU so much Jennifer. I love everything, and your customs are so beautiful. You are very talened

[Jennifer2004]

Yay! I am so happy to hear that you liked everything! I couldn't find a list of which tokidoki unicorns you already had or which ones you wanted, so I figured I'd take my chances with a sealed one. I don't know if you had that one or not, but she looks very pretty. For the other extras, I cheated and looked at your Culture Swap Q&A. I read that you like notepads, peacocks, lip gloss, and fruit flavors, so I hope I did okay with the extras.

When I saw your tiny little newborn army, I new I had to find you some more recruits for that army! I was lucky enough to find those newborns all together, so I snatched them right up for you. I thought they were so cute, gotta love those adorable newborn ponies. And they seem to be in really nice condition, such nice pink hair too!

Looking at the pic of your Sunshine Army, I didn't see any Shorelines in there. I had recently come across this Shoreline with a lovely body, but hair that was damaged beyond repair. I always thought Shoreline was such a pretty pony, but the hair Hasbro gave her just doesn't bring out her full potential. With the rehair, I was going for a blue sky with rays of sunlight shining through. I chose colors that I thought brought out the brightness of her eyes and her symbol. I really liked this rehair when I was finished, I am so glad you like her too!

As for the Sunshine Babies, they were the reason I was late in sending your box, but I hoped they would be worth the wait. I was so happy when I read that you were open to receiving customs. And when you said that you would LOVE a baby seaflower and sand digger, I knew I had to make them for you. I bought the baits and ordered the hair right away, it was just finding the time to sit down and work on them that was difficult. But in the end I was really pleased with how they turned out, and I am thrilled to hear that you like them!

I had so much fun putting this box together for you! It makes my day to know that you liked everything so much!
