Finally, I found this thread!   It kept logging me into the old Arena and the link in the Corral didn't work for me. I had to stalk my history to even get onto the new site haha. I'm so glad you liked everything, Jahlila! I had fun putting your box together and kept adding 'just one more thing.'   Great pics everyone. Still waiting on mine. Will post when it arrives.

[Anime_Amy]

According to tracking my partner should get her package today . I am so excited for them to receive it!! Still waiting for mine as well.

    *runs around squeeeeeeee'ing like pinkie pie on way too much sugar*




So, I peeked outside my window this afternoon and what to my wondering eyes did appear but a lovely package awaiting to be taken in from a pony so dear!




All silliness aside, my box from Anime_Amy arrived today!!! And I was MASSIVELY SPOILED.   Ohh mah gawd so many lovely goodies and extras. I'd already decided to cut down on swaps for awhile so what a lovely high note to go out on!


*scampers off to take pics!*

 I got my box a while ago but I haven’t had time to find the brag thread until now.

All sorts of exciting things! I felt so spoiled! My 2-year old daughter helped me unwrap everything. (Well, almost everything – I Had to make sure I got some of that cute wrapping paper left intact )

Goodies!

She was so sweet to include some things for my two kiddos. They loved the MLP coloring books with crayons. And those candies didn’t last very long (I think they were all gone in a day). My daughter loved the stuffed hamster. She took it was rocking it in our baby swing. And those Hershey kiss socks are ADORABLE! I love socks! And they are great for these un-Seattle freezing snowy days we are having up here!

The ponies!
My favorite, Applejack’s Barn!

I have been wanting this set for a long time! I am super excited to finally have it! We busted into this set right away. My two kids played with (and fought over) this set for at least half an hour before I took it away so I could have my turn.

And more:

I am glad to see boxes arriving and happy swappers!! Keep 'em coming!

[fingerpaints]

All that pony paper looks amazing your partner put a lovely box together, it was so nice of them to include some things for your kiddies too, looks like your daugher had fun helping mum unwrap lol, I spotted a few piccies with little arms in them so cute!

Congrats on all your gorgeous goodies & ponies!

[SunnyDazeAhead]

No pics inside the box because I was too excited to start opening everything.
 It seemed to be the box that kept on giving! I never found any winter themed G4 paper here so I was happy to see it in person. It's the same as shown in Katgyrl's brag.

I mentioned I love Sanrio and Hello Kitty and I hit the mother load of cuteness!
 I love the Chococat memo book and socks!!! Anime_Amy even included some Sanrio Squinkies which I've been eyeing in stores but resisted buying. They're so adorable and remind me of the teeny MLP friends included with the new ponies.  I also got snowflake bath fizzies, keroppi and HK magnets, key chains, mini notebooks, gel pens and a beaded bracelet. Keroppi 3D stickers, an adorable bedazzled HK stocking and my first G4 Jumbo coloring book.

So many goodies and treats I didn't have enough counter space so I spread everything onto my bed. I was a super spoiled pony!    My Jumbo Pinkie and my Holiday HK plush wanted to sneak into the pic so I let them.

[SunnyDazeAhead]

Giving this a little update bump. Did your swap box arrive yet, Anime_Amy?   Also, any sign of Speckles?

Speckles? 

As far as I can tell, it hasn't yet. I have been in contact with her partner and it has been mailed. Sadly, it is looking like it has gotten lost in the mail. Her partner is also the only overseas participant, in Australia, so it's most likely stuck in customs!
