Thanks Uni for posting pics I'll post what she looks like on my tree in a bit! I've had the flu so I'm trying to play catch up around here.

I got my ornament today from aintnobuffalo!! I just love her! What a cute idea, and totally fitting for Rarity!

My gifts came in some super cute Christmassy pony paper! And everything kind of goes along the theme of Rarity's colors. I love it!

Here's my ornament! I love the sparkles, and her hair is super cute! Thank you aintnobuffalo!!

Looks like her hair got a little squished on top, but otherwise made it ok! You may be able to poke and fluff her a bit to get it looking more like crystal Rarity. I'm so glad you like it! I plan to post her in the custom boards on Sunday for some feedback.

I also got my swap, though it was missing a card. Who has Cool Breeze on their address labels (what neat address labels!)?  I love the ball ornament with a painted princess Twilight! It has a bunch of pretty ribbons inside the clear ball! I'll post a brag latter, but right now I'm headed off to my parents for Christmas festivities this weekend.

[Whippycorn]

My ornament arrived!

It's a lovely miniature stocking with my Whippy on it (and stuffed with sweeties of course!) and some choccies. It's so adorable I actually 'aawed' when I opened it. 

It doesn't have a name on it, but I think it might be from Zenna?

[Emberfly]

These are such cute ornments!  Everyone has done such a great job and such cute ideas.  I'm going to try to remember these for future crafting. 

[TinyUnicornFarm]

Yay! I got my ornament from ponyqueen. EEEEEEEeeeeeee it's so cute and creative! nwn;; I will post a picture in a little bit. Thank you so much Ponyqueen! nwn;;

[Uninu]

I got my package from Whippycorn and was blown away *_*! The most beautiful painted glass  ornament, a small precious angel greyhound ornament just like my late Sonata and tea and some yummies for puppies! Will post pictures in a minute, first I'll finish this cup of tea

Ack, I wasn't able to take pictures before leaving home for my holiday trip! So sorryyyyy!

[Griffin]

It's here! My package from UrocyonFox!

She made me a gorgeous pair of ornaments featuring my favourite ponies, Gusty and Butterscotch. Thank you so much, Fox, they're stunning! We brought the tree in today and planned to decorate it this evening but everyone was too tired to do that so at the moment the tree is adorned with just these two, hehe. They look so cute! I must take new pics once the tree is decorated.

I also got some scrapbooking papers and blank ATC sheets as extras. Fox, you know me too well, they're perfect for me! Thank you!

[UrocyonFox]

yaaaa they made it!! Gosh Grffin I was so worried there was all this confusion with your address, there was a different one for your ornament sswap than from the deco swap we're doing so I was like ohhh noooo what do I do??! I was trying to figure out how to ask without giving away I was your partner?

Glad everything worked out alright.

I will say I loved making these two and I really need to make myself some :3

and on another awesome note, I got MY ornaments today! I am snapping a picture right now..... hooooooold on

Oh, I'd already forgot about that by the time it arrived and was genuinely surprised, haha! It's good that you checked with Zenna though so I got them before Christmas, otherwise I would've needed to pick them up at the PO in January. I have some other packages waiting for me there, some purchases etc. I made and thought they would arrive before I left Turku.

That's an awesome box you got from Emberfly! I love the bauble with your OCs!

 

[ZennaBug]

Everything looks great, guys!!! I'll update the first post wen I have a chance. I just got home from a cross-country drive (my little sis graduated college and we had to drive all her stuff back home) and I'm about to head out to see family tonight, but I'll get it done soon.

My ornament arrived!

It's a lovely miniature stocking with my Whippy on it (and stuffed with sweeties of course!) and some choccies. It's so adorable I actually 'aawed' when I opened it. 

It doesn't have a name on it, but I think it might be from Zenna?

That was me! I thought I had put my name on the stocking, but I did totally forget to stick my note in there. Whoops! Glad you liked it!!!

[Emberfly]

I'm glad your ornaments got there in what looks like one piece, UrocyonFox, I was worried the OC's would come off the glitter ball but there wasn't any way to stabilize them once I glued the outer ball (maybe I shouldn't have done that).  The dome ornaments are going to be my thing for a while, I think.  I'm happy you liked your ornaments.

On a related note, I got my ornament today and all I can say is WOW!  It is absolutely stunning, Griffin!  Thank you so much.  Pics are uploading as I type this so...

I have a lovely wrapped box arrive at my door today and inside was this:

Inside was some great Pony chocolates and yummy hard candies, the kind that are minty on the outside and chocolatey on the inside (my fave).

What's inside the large envelope you ask?  Well, it's some great stickers, a fabulous post card and the cutest bunny card.

Then comes the large wrapped pail.  Inside with the most stunning ornament ever.  I'm still in awe as I type.  I has my two favourite ponies and 3D details.  Just wow!

I can't thank you enough, Griffin, this is too pretty to put up only at Christmas, I'll have to find a more permanent home.   Thank You!

[ZennaBug]

Beautiful! And that's everyone! Just in time, too. I've marked the swap as cleared and you can all leave feedback for your partners. Thanks for a great swap, everyone!

I forgot to post my brag! Here she is on my tree;

Maybe I missed it, but did someone say who's made this? (As I said in my previous message; it was missing a card. Who has Cool Breeze on their address labels (what neat address labels!)?)
