If the hair has a little frizz..this is okay I can fix that Tiny scratches or scuffs that you have to turn the pony to see..don’t bother me. Sea Ponies: I expect these to have a few marks as they were played with in water so marks on these is okay

5. Do you collect anything else besides My little Pony?

I want to first say that I am not fond of dollar store merchandise at all unless its from an authentic Japanese Dollar Store that sells Japanese Imported goods.   Yes I love Kawaii Sticker flakes, Pandas, I love Pandas on anything, Re-Ment (Especially dishes/tea sets, foods, cups/glasses and around the house gadgets, rement toys..so cool), Fun pens, My Twinn Stars, Hello Kitty, lalaloopsy, Charmkins,  Vintage MLP books/coloring books, stickers, mini ornaments, squinkies (especially the ones with fuzzy hair), Japanese Puzzle Erasers, tubes of plastic animals, Kawaii Kawaii Kawaii anything...FIM is not really something I am as fond of unless its series 2 and up blind bags.(I have: Metallic Rarity, Chance A Lot, Twilight Velvet, Royal Riff, Amethyst Star and Big Macintosh, Sassaflash, ShoeShine, Merry May, Berry Green, Twilight Sky, Mosely Orange, Noteworthy, Goldengrape) Sweetie Kittens (I have a yellowish orange one) I really enjoy chrochet items as well.  I have been wanting to start a collection of sea wees, I do like glow worms and poseable carebears

Hair Dark pink and yellow, body aqua, 1960's themes in flowers daisies, peace symbols, lava lamps, mushrooms, daisy head band, beaded/braided small section to the hair...think hippie!!!  Her name is Peace.  Peace is an emotional state I need more of. She is quite meaningful to me.

I know that this swap is generally for loose ponies, but would you prefer MOC?  Oh my, I don't think anyone could afford the ponies on my list MOC.  And honestly, I like messing with my ponies too much to be happy with them MOC.  I do like to have the original bags and cards with my Blind Bag G4s.

Do you wear any kind of jewellery?
Yea...smaller earrings or dangles as long as they are not longer than an inch and a half...like charm bracelets, some necklaces as long as not heavy with too large of a charm on them


Fave animals? Yes Panda, Sheep, Butterflies

Would you rather get lots of lower-value ponies or a few big value ones?

If they are on my wanted list then I want them all. Sure some may be higher if you want to avoid those so you can get more ponies I will not be disappointed in the least.

Would you like to receive pony accessories or pony wear as extras? If so, anything in particular you are wanting?

The accessories I am wanting are actually already on my wanted list and yes yes yes I would like to have them as extras.

I have a really important question in regards to extras/handmade items.  Do you like homemade items that are cute and girly, all adult with no cute element, or less girly?

 I am totally into cute. I like both adult and childlike cute.  If I want to wear a MLP barrette all day long at my age, I don't care who says anything about it.  I am a total girly girl.

Also along these same lines for homemade ideas can you list a few ponies (any generation) that you like represented in handmade items?

Sea ponies any, Wingers any, any pegasus.  I am a huge pegasus fan.

Also, what types of books do you read and shows do you love on tv?

I mainly read Christian related books and I like CS Lewis as well as, J. R. R.  Tolkien.  I do not even own The Hobbit and would love a used copy.  I like collecting children's books because I am a PreK/Kindergarten teacher.  I also enjoy books on toys, Blythe and Dolls or fun collectibles

For TV: I am a huge fan of Sci-Fi.  I love Dr. Who, Fringe, The Peanuts cartoons,  Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia series, and I adored Tim Burtons's Alice in Wonderland with the Cheshire cat being my favorite!!


What's your Chinese zodiac?  I do not like zodiac themes

Size Shirt: For me its all about comfort. I am small than L but prefer L.  If its a juniors shirt it has to be XL for sure as they run really tiny.

puzzles and coloring books/activity books?  love em?  hate em?

Coloring books yes...puzzles no

I have one more question: How about lotions, soaps, make up, nail polish and similar stuff? Would you like to get it and any special wishes?

Nail polish yes...I love glittery soft colors.  I am not a fan of children's polish because it washes off so fast.  Lip gloss and balm sure...the cuter the better...and lotion/make up no (mainly because I wear expensive brands of make up mostly not suitable for swaps.)

McDonalds ponies? I don't really collect these.

A question.... if you were to receive a colored drawing of a pony, which one would you like to get? You can list more than one pony if you like.

Any Pegasus, any sea pony, NBBE Heart Throb Baby, Gusty, I would love a drawing that has a Christmas theme with the above…

What is everyone's favorite Christmas album?
I don’t really listen to Christmas Albums..so odd I know

What's your favourite hot drink?
I do not drink anything but water due to my kidney and bladder disease.  Sadly I can't even enjoy tea and coffee anymore.  So no hot drinks for me.

Novelty socks: Oh yes love these

Love Hello Kitty: Oh yes I do, I also like Cinamaroll, Deery Lou, Kuririn, and especially PANDApple for obvious panda loving reasons, Tarepanda...to name a few

Gingerbread: No sorry

Monster High Dolls?  No I am not a fan of these at all. I do love Lalaloopsy and LaDeeDa dolls  for LaDeeDa dolls I am really wanting that one that has the india costume and their little dog as well as clothing sets.

Playsets you want?  Yes actually, I really would love to have the Scrub a Tub (is that what it is called with the little shower curtain?)  with all its accessories.  I have all the accessories for the Pretty Parlor, but don't have the acutal Parlor and sticker things.  Do have the pony.  I also love Baby Bonnet School of Dance with accessories and the Waterfall with accessories but don't have the pony.  The only Petite playset I have is the Carousel so I would love any of the other Petite Playsets.

1. How do you feel about getting homemade jams/jellies/baked goods?

No for me on this

2. We covered children already, but is there anyone else you live with that we might buy for?

My husband is here but he really doesn't buy many toys anymore, he is a star wars freak and he loves the Henson muppet Animal as well as Captain America

3. Spicy?

No for me on this

Do you like winter items:  Yes I love colorful, bright virbrant print gloves, mittens, scarves and hats.  I like fleece, crochet but please no wool.  Not as fond of cable knit.

1) If you have previously stated that you're ok with fixable problems (minor symbol damage, haircuts, whatever), do you want that left alone so you can fix it or leave it as you see fit, or would you like repairs made before you receive a pony? I'm thinking specifically of rehairing, but I'm leaving it open in case anyone else had this question.

I actually like the ponies in my collection to be all original unless they are customs..unless MLP vintage hair is used and I don't rehair.  If someone has that vintage hair then I would love it to be done by them as I am not good at rehairing yet.

2) Does anyone have a favourite pony (from your wantlist, or one you'd be getting a double of) you'd like to be surprised with if your partner gave him/her an alternate rehair, as an extra? They can be super fun and beautiful, but I'd hate to make someone cry if they hated the idea!

An alternate rehair sounds fun.  Any Pegasus or Twinkle eye

Now I've got a question for you.  If I happened to come across a pony from your want list, but it doesn't meet your condition requirements, would you want it as an extra, as a place holder?

Sure as long as it doesn't have mold or oozing stuff that might make me sick. I am very allergic to mold.

Great to see you back Xeevs!  And I see familiar faces from past swaps (waves to Tulagirl, Mercynova, Scraleos, Chipsterj and Stern )!

[Eskara1862]

Ooh!  What fun!  I would LOVE to participate in the swap!  And thanks for giving us plenty of time to get things going on it =)

1. Are you willing to ship international?

Yes!  But if I ship internationally, I prefer to have someone international ship to me as well
 
2. Post here a link to your feedbacks:

Arena, Ebay, Etsy
 
3. Post a link to your actual wantlist here(only links please):

Eskara's Want List

 
4. With which condition are you okay? Are you a very picky collector? Write here any information for your partner to make sure that you'll receive the ponies in the condition you like them)
 
I'm not a picky collector at all.  I LOVE restoring ponies, so hair cuts, ink marks, etc don't bother me.  Mint is preferred, but I think that's the case for everyone;)

5. Do you collect anything else besides My little Pony?
Not at the moment
 
6. Other Likes/Interests/Hobbies? (Tell us here a bit more about you)

I prefer useful and beautiful things over kitchy dust catchers. Chocolates are great, as are anything ginkgo, dragonfly, Celtic knot, or raven related.  I also enjoy fairy gardening and am obsessed with moss and ferns.

I'm a fiend for baths and love to add salts. Auria Cacia salts are my favorite, but I'm really not picky as long as they're not artificially fragranced (parfum on the ingredient label). Baths are my meditation and de-stressing time, so anything that helps with that is appreciated.

Creating things is a major passion for me.  I have a blast making custom ponies, drawing pictures, sculpting, doing anything creative.

Favorite Colors-  Any shade of purple.  I also like green a lot.  I made my art desk/computer room area a magenta and lime green theme because they're peppy and inspire me to get things done.

 
7. Would you like to receive a custom? Any special wishes here?

A custom of my persona would be totally amazing! If my partner wants to take the time to make any custom for me, it will be appreciated.
 
8. What's about christmas themes and christmas accessoires? Do you like them or not?

I love Christmas!  It's totally the best time of the year.  I deck out the whole house in a poinsettia theme. One can never have too many Christmas accessories
 
9. What kind of Candy and Snacks do you like?

I'm a huge tea drinker!  I LOVE peach teas and green teas and any tea.  Gummy worms and sweet/sour gummy snacks are favorites. BBQ and Salt & Vinegar potato chips are treats of choice, as are peanut M&M's, nutella with honey wheat pretzel sticks.  Pixie stix are well loved.  I'm not picky;) I like chocolates and gummy things!  Kinder Eggs and Kinder Hippos are totally amazing.  I especially like to try local candies.

 
10. Any Candy Dislikes or Allergies?

Taffy. I can't stand taffy or gum. Fortunately, no allergies!

2012 Valentines Day Swap
2008 Halloween Swap

9. Do you have children?
If so - please also list their ages and first names.

Never!!

10 Do you wear any kind of jewellery?
What's your fave one?

Everything: earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings. I like natural elements, such as semi-prescious stones and feathers.  Please note, I do have a nickel allergy, so any metal would have to be nickel free. My wrists are practically child size, so bracelets have to be small and cuff bracelets just fall off.  Favorite jewelry is earrings, big flashy ones.

11. Fave animals?

Horses, ravens, cats

12. Does anyone still want Dolly Mix

Totally!  I love the G4 pets and any little accessory that comes with ponies.  I would love a Snowball, Duck Soup, Catnip, or Twinkles.

31. I know that this swap is generally for loose ponies, but would you prefer MOC?

G4 I wold prefer MOC, but loose is totally fine.

32. Would you rather get lots of lower-value ponies or a few big value ones?

Um... Either! I guess if I had to pick, a few big value ones.

33. I have a really important question in regards to extras/handmade items.  Do you like homemade items that are cute and girly, all adult with no cute element, or less girly?

 I'm not really a frilly/sparkles/cutsie type person.  I'm an earthy girl!  More of an Applejack than a Rarity, I guess. As far as home made items go, I would absolutely love some of those knitted dish rags! Three of mine have holes in them and I don't know how to make them

34. Also along these same lines for homemade ideas can you list a few ponies or pony types (any generation) that you like represented in handmade items?For example are you a unicorn fan?

I'm a winger fan! Love my flutter ponies, windy/summer wings, and even breezies. I used to be a big pegasus nut, but now I'm leaning more towards the earth ponies.

35. Also, what types of books do you read and shows do you love on tv?

I love fantasy books: Mercedes Lackey, George RR Martin, Tolkien,  Juliette Marillier, Clare Bell. As far as TV goes, Fringe, The Office, Bones, Once Upon A Time, Game of Thrones, and my one cheesy show that won't make it beyond the first season- Revolution.

36. Puzzles and coloring books/activity books?  love em?  hate em?

No thanks.  They'll just sit around gathering dust because I never do them.

37. How about lotions, soaps, make up, nail polish and similar stuff? Would you like to get it and any special wishes?

I'm actually very picky about this stuff.  I use only natural/organic bath and beauty products, which I know can get a bit pricey.  Nail polish, however, I love any color and tend to not be picky about   I really like dark colors (deep maroon, dark purple) and super bright neon colors (yellow, green, purple).  I don't have a dark gray yet, which I've been looking for.

38. Do you like Moshi Monsters?

What's that?  I'm gonna say no

39. A question for the pet owners here. Are there any toys your pets like to play with?

Misty loves catnip, crinkle balls, and fluffy/feathery things. The one toy that gets her going like nothing else is a nylon string on a stick. I can make her run with that until she's panting!

40. Do you like Disney Pins?

Only Little Mermaid!

41. How about McDonald ponies? Do you have any that you are looking for? Do you use them to customize?

45. What's your favorite hot drink?

Tea- green, peach, herbal

46. Do you like novelty socks?

Totally!  Especially ones with pigs

47. How Do you feel about a handmade sock monkey?  Do they scare you, or do you love em?

I only keep the one my mom made because she made it for me. But, I've never cared for them at all.

48. How do you wear your hair? Long, short? Do you like hair clips, barrettes, ...?

My hair is medium length curly.  I love those wrap-around fabric headbands! Monster clips and combs are also favorite hair accessories.  I never wear barrettes or plastic headbands.

49. Let's say your wish list has G1, G3, G4 on it. Which do you prefer to get?

G1! They'll always have a special place in my heart =)  However, G4's are totally awesome too.

Great to see you back Xeevs!  And I see familiar faces from past swaps (waves to Tulagirl, Mercynova, Scraleos, Chipsterj and Stern )!

Right back at ya!!!!

[Sternenstaub]

About shipping:

Like every year I will try to mix partners like that:

Europe to Europe

US to US or Canada



But I can't give the guarantee to everyone - so I hope a few (at least a handfull) are also willing to ship overseas.
I also ship overseas myself usually.

[StarDragon]

I am having so much fun reading everyone's entries. ^-^

[Tilas]

But I can't give the guarantee to everyone - so I hope a few (at least a handfull) are also willing to ship overseas.
I also ship overseas myself usually.

As much as I would love to ship overseas, last time I shipped across the pond it was $35 for a 6 inch cubed box! Mailing from the Yukon is one of the most expensive places ever unfortunately, so if I can keep to USA/Canada I'd sure appreciate it.

[Sternenstaub]

@mercynova:
There is no way to miss this swap!!
I'm gald you're in!


@TwilightWhispers:
This Swap rocks!
Glad that you joined!!


@Tilas:
No worries - I will get you the perfet match. 
The only thing I wanna say was that I normally match people from Europe to other swapers from Europe and US People to other US People or Canada - to keep the shipping costs down for anybody.
There are just a few Oversea Shippes in the Advent Calendar Swap every year - but I always keep in mind what you wrote to your sign up form.

And I guess there was nobody unhappy in the past years with the partners I matched together - or guys?? 


Well and I updated the first post again.

[Aurora]

Holy cats, this is a lot of people! Wheeee!

[xeevee]

Great to see you back Xeevs!  And I see familiar faces from past swaps (waves to Tulagirl, Mercynova, Scraleos, Chipsterj and Stern )!

Not quite back yet, GHG.  I move to San Diego in one month, so I should be settled in time to shop properly for this swap.    If I get my swap partner in time, and they're a g4 collector I may even be able to get them some weird taobao stuff.  So that will be cool.

I have been a very busy girl this year, that's for sure.

[kittykat7]

Oh I am so in!  I loved this swap last year, it was so much fun.  Can I save a spot and fill out the form later?  I am on my phone right now... just want to make sure I make it in!

[StarDragon]

Holy cats, this is a lot of people! Wheeee!

And that's good, because I LOVE teaser pics & brags!! lol
