Hey Buddafly... the tin with candy and the ornament was day 1. I thought it was numbered.
And it's all numbered to drive me even more crazy. XDMan, having them NOT numbered would drive me way more crazy, haha. I think a huge pile of presents with no numbers to keep me on track would result in me being bad and just wanting to open them all at once! But I don't think they were numbered to drive you crazy ;) Numbering them was one of the requirements/in the swap description.

They didn't have to be in any particular order. I know some people literally do it randomly - just grab a package and slap a number on!
Eek! I got a pony on the first day- how exciting! I can't seem to put photos from my phone onto photobucket, so I'll post pics as soon as I can get on the computer. Actually, I got TWO presents today- Tropical Breeze (so gorgeous!) and a beautiful set of sprinkles that my kids will go nuts over when we make cookies.
Sparkleset80, you are AWESOME.
ok....i have my morning coffee....and NoDivision said I needed to open now! (lol)
so OMG YAY!! I got a pony day one too :D its Speckles!!! she is so adorable and perfect :heart:

Hey Buddafly... the tin with candy and the ornament was day 1. I thought it was numbered.
it may have come off? I never found the little mini ornament with a 1 on it :) it's no worries, though! <3
need moar brags!
Sorry I'm running late! My day (well, my last week or so) has been out of control. Here is a picture of my presents from Tilas by the tiny tree I nabbed from my mom so we'd have something this year:

Thank you, Tilas! Hee, and yeah Xeevee, I'm the sort that needs authority like numbers a bit. Not because I can't stop at one though, but because I'm indecisive. Sorry my numbers stress you, Tilas! I didn't actually know they would so it wasn't intentional. >.<
The hat was semi-homemade. I bought the hat and hubby and I had fun making the little Pinky.
need moar brags!
Two more hours and I could post one! But, I'll probably be asleep.
By the way... Your Watson used to be Wolverine, wasn't he? :devious:
:O .... yes
So when I do add the pictures, you'll see the cutest little Firefly custom Blind Bag- she's so adorable! And a little sculpey bear, which will be going on my tree as soon as I put it up. Did you make them?

Yes I did make those! Firefly is my first blindbag custom, I didn't seal her due to time. The bear I made when I was oh 10ish? Been sitting around forever decided to throw her in ;)
Xeevee, it's been so long since I mailed that box that each day is a surprise to me, too! It took me a little while to figure out what the McDonald's pony was- it just didn't look familiar! I do remember that I got a little confused when I was wrapping your McPonies, I just couldn't figure out if you meant the 2011 set when you said "last set," or if that was the "most recent" set... so you may have some extra McPonies that you didn't need in this package. I'm sure you can figure out something to do with the extras! I did! :devious:

Well if you were confused and thought it meant the very first set, that's cool, those g1 bookmarks are worth heaps :silly:
Day 2:

Moar Poniez!! Isn't she pretty. Also some star wars rubber bands. Weirdest piece of merchandise I've ever seen!
I couldn't find a gift marked with the second so I haven't opened anything today. Got tomorrow's all ready to go though :D
It's so fun to follow this thread and see all the great presents. :)
Here is my day two:

A cute trinket box filled with accessoires. I don't think I have seen the accessoires before, they are really adorable!
I opened my day 2 present super early this morning, then went out and had another fabulous day. Naturally I took my camera with... and now I can't find it!?! So... for day 2 got a gorgeous Heartthrob pony. I am super excited about her, I have been after her for awhile now. As soon as I find my camera I will upload the picture. Thanks Tula!

Oh I am pleased you like her. She is one of my favorites. Good luck finding the camera. I know how that is. If its not my keys its my Credit card. I am always losing something important.

OMG, so much cute! I love that picture. I couldn't put them too far apart in the calendar. They would have been sad, lol. Is that Lil Cupcake I see in the top row?! *drooool*
On day 2 I got some really cute pink princess cupcakes wrappers. I also got some really bad news today, and I haven't have time to upload pictures yet again. I don't want to bring this thread down, so happy thoughts!! I will post in WYP when I'm ready, and I PROMISE tomorrow I will upload pictures!
Thank you Emberbright! Please bear with me!

I make that exact thing (different brand in the USA, though) and it is one of my faves to make. very easy, and delicious!

But I have 4 errant packages who have lost their number labels! Two 9s, a 12 and a 21. I don't suppose you remember which is which Honeycomb (I wouldn't.) If not, I'll just pop the labels onto them and guess.
I think I put a pony fairly early in my box. I tried to spread them out quite a bit. I can't remember exactly though.... hope my partner joins in the brags at some point to remind me.
Aurora, mod podge is great for sealing customs. It comes in shiny or matte. I was thinking about buying the spray to seal it with how small blindbags are just ran out of time.
My Day 2 & 3!
Day 2 was a candle
Day 3 a package of TimTams and a Diagram of how to eat them!

There's a 2nd one there! Or, at least, there should be... I know I very carefully counted out all of the presents multiple times to make sure I had them all labeled. I wonder if I meant to make one of your 1st day presents a second and goofed when I wrote the labels :what:
I think I put a pony fairly early in my box. I tried to spread them out quite a bit. I can't remember exactly though.... hope my partner joins in the brags at some point to remind me.ME THREE!! I want to see all the goodies you sent!!!
Why haven't timtams been adopted in the US as a regular treat? It seems crazy? Does anyone not love them? They are the best biscuit ever invented.They were sold at Target for a short while. It. Was. Amazing.
I have never heard of timtams.
I was just going to post that I make the same thing as well but the McCormick brand. It is one of my favorite recipes.
EDIT: I just found out they sell Tim Tams in HAWAII! YEEEEESSS! Gonna go out and grab me a pack or three :iconclap: ! I love living in the American Singapore.
Glad you like them I love those accessories, I was very tempted to keep them for myself

You are gonig to become our tim tam dealer :P
OK well liquid slurpage is a new term for me.
But I have 4 errant packages who have lost their number labels! Two 9s, a 12 and a 21. I don't suppose you remember which is which Honeycomb (I wouldn't.) If not, I'll just pop the labels onto them and guess.
Hey Elf, sorry that the stickers have come loose, but I really cannot tell anymore which goes where! It's not important anyway! :lol:
Xeevee sent me TimTams, but I was unaware there was a right and wrong way to eat them. I'm afraid I blew the whole experience and just ate them!
Here are some of the pictures I promised-
Xeevee, I don't know what happened. I packed those boxes full of rocks, sticks, and packing peanuts. I'm not sure where the ponies and candy are even coming from!
Lots of awesome gifts out there! I updated my brag in the original post.

So many awesome gifts! I'm opening my gifts in the morning, but I won't have a chance to post until nap or bed time on most days.
I got a super cute tea towel with a cupcake on it! I'll post a pic tomorrow of day 1 and 2. We got our tree today (smells like Christmas!), and put it up, with the lights. We decorated the house, put up the snowflake ornaments that Emberbright included with the gifts, and put the gifts on the table next to the tree. And now I'm running off to bed! :zzz:
Can't wait for tomorrow's brags!
*edit*
I've decided I like the idea of keeping all my brags in one post :)
EmberBright was my swap partner, and she made me a ponysona with her card to start;

Day 2 I got these princess cupcake wrappers. Now I'm debating weather to use the for one of the little girls I know, or save them for my husband's next LAN party, lol. I think the guys would get a kick out of them =)

I found those panini stickers at the dollar store, oddly enough! I've heard a lot of people talk about paninis, and I'd love to see what they look like out of the wrapping :)
my day #4! I smelled what it was before I saw it ;)

Glad you like them, tula. :) I did what a lot of others did and tried to save the best gifts and ponies for further along, so that's why you are getting a bunch of random things right now. I tried to space them out to keep it interesting.
Here is my day 4. The horse ornament is really unique! Why does it remind me of Mardi Gras?
I've been needing some erasers too for my doodling at work! I keep on using the erasers at work and I don't think that's too nice. :P

Thanks so much sea poney. :)
I organized my presents today and there are two days I an intensely curious bout. The feeling of the package is interesting and piques my curiosity. Time, hurry hurry!
I loooove seeing what everyone gets each day. :) I totally forgot the order of most of the presents I sent to seapony, so I've been wondering "what did I send today"... and then being "Oh yeah, I remember those!". XD lols
Hey guys, so I actually went home sick today; seems I caught a bug :(. Throat is killing me, nose is running away from me, and I can't stop coughing! :sick: At least I get to open Day 4:

This is so awesome! There aren't many G1 merchandise with Fizzy, but Stern was able to find me two postcards with her! I love! :lovey: :lovey: :lovey: The cards were accompanied by some delicious cadbury white chocolate which I devoured. :thumb:
Stern, you are fabulous!I loooove seeing what everyone gets each day. :) I totally forgot the order of most of the presents I sent to seapony, so I've been wondering "what did I send today"... and then being "Oh yeah, I remember those!". XD lols
I totally do this!

I don't remember the order of mine either, except what day 25 was. No sign of my partner to remind me, though :(
Ugh, seeing the brags I'm suddenly feeling like I did a lousy job with my box. I'm so sorry for the monotony, Tilas! I swear, the packages aren't all BBs! :blush:
Also a giant balloon. Not sure if it was supposed to be an ornament, as it exploded in my face while I was blowing it up. Is that what you wanted Aurora! Cause it made me go deaf. :silly:

You know what's funny about growing up in different cultures? You wouldn't have thought that I couldn't know how to eat TimTams, and I never even questioned that you would know a punch balloon when you saw one.
Day 4 was from my bettas to yours. I actually have 12 total bettas, so I just had to include something for yours from mine!
I'm glad you are liking everything so far and I am glad you like the way I numbered the packages. I figured they could double as ornaments for your tree or be used to make a garland out of them.
Love that phone charm! :D
Here's my day 5

It's like having a whole other advent box! The 20 days of tea-mas. I'm so excited! This is such a cute idea, Jupi is amazing. Today I had peppermint - can't wait to see what tomorrow is!

my bettas have only ever eaten one kind of food because there are only 2, and the little jar seems like it will last me 2 years! both nova and luna seemed to really enjoy the new food! I was curious, because some forums say they don't like changing food. they totally approve, though ;) nova, the male, actually seemed a little excited about is (he's usually a take it or leave it kinda guy). luna goes insane no matter what I bring up to the tank. she'd eat the world if she could!
I feel like I might get a mini tree for my dining table and decorate it with these little ornaments :)

Bettas actually love a change in food. They can actually get bored of their food if always given the same stuff. I have lots of different types of treats for my bettas. They especially love freeze dried brine shrimp.

Today's tea: Licorice spice! Smelled a bit strange, but tastes delicious! (You know, if you're like me and love licorice.) Haven't opened my present yet. Trying to get my package opening on a normal schedule and not cheap by opening everything at midnight XD
*runs off with the edward cullen mug* :whistle:
Well I screwed up. I think when day three sticker fell off of my package somewhere along the way I messed up on which gift I put it on because I have gone through my gifts and I don't have a day six. ROFLOL so my guess is I thought I had two day three gifts but instead one of them must have been day six. I think I am under way too much stress. Sorry Dazzle...rest assured I have checked everything else and I have all my other days. Don't mind me I am a total nut girl.
You're welcome Aurora! He's a really cute little character, I like that his head is an orange XD
Today I got MLP fruit snacks! I found it so funny because the box had G4 Twilight Sparkle on it, but the actual wrappers had G3 Pinkie Pie, and the fruit snacks themselves were G3 as well. They're delicious and almost gone already :blush:
Twilightwispers: I didn't think of that, but you picked the right parcel :P
Really glad you like it! Those fruity gummmies are amazing, btw. They are hard to find in my area and they are the most amazing candy ever. Hope you like them. I have a few stashed in my room. Now I want some.....haha!Yes Yum Yum!!!
I did a terrible thing too, I opened present number 8 already. I thought, oh, in China it's already the 8th, so I did. Promise, I won't do it again! Anyway, my day 8 is a plate for Paradise Estate!!! Sooooo cool, love it!
Stern that is a beautiful pony...wowwwwwwwwww
*runs off with the edward cullen mug* :whistle:
haha, you have to fight with my coworkers for it ;) they all want to steal it, too!

@Buddafly:
I know these canles in the glas - got one in a past swap.
Which scent did you got?
I have hazelnut scent here - and it smells soooo good!!
@ tula... please can you explain ''icing bath confetti'' to me? i've never seen that before, what happens to it, does it fizz up in the bath to make bubbles, or just dissolve into colored water?! sorry to sound so clueless :blush:
day seven! candy that i can't read! lol but it tastes yummy! kinda like a starburst ^_^
Stern that is a beautiful pony...wowwwwwwwwww
Seconded. She's lovely!

I tried it and it dissolves in the bath water and just creates an oil to the water with a cupcake scent. The cat loved it....in that he watched it float around me. I am quite new to the product also. LOL It didn't really make bubbles...so I am not sure...I just think its a soaking thingy. :P I think Dazzlekitty knew that I spend a lot of time in the tub due to pain and she just wanted to make it more fun for me. Now I have toys...ROFLOL :lol:

More ponies for me on Day 9. I am going to take a photo of every pony I received this swap all together right at the end, because it is rather insane. Aurora, you are a crazy spoiler. And you wonder why I sent you that ROAPK box.

Crystal Lace and a McDonald's Rainbow Dash. Also there were more Candy. Which is mostly gone.
Just want to check in and say that Eskara, I am absolutely loving my gifts! I will update with a picture of everything within the next few days but end of term exams and working full-time at the moment is running me into the ground :(
visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAww! You made her super pretteh again!!!
Okay, I need clarification on the taschenwarmer.I'd be glad to =D: The Taschenwärmer is a heating pad - you crease the small metal plate and the pad starts to crystalize & gets warm. When it's all hard and cold again, you can boil it in a pot with water (about 10 minutes) until it is all liquid again. Then you can use it again.
with no computer, updating is slow going XD
here is day 8 (the purple bait) day 10 (the pink bait) and day 11 (paintbrushes)

And today Day 12 I got the most awesome gift ever! Baby Sparkle North Star with SUPER pink hair and she was decked out in accessories I have been needing! Can't wait to be able to upload pics!
I don't mean to keep disappearing on here. Just with this being finals week and I am trying to play a little catch up on some assignments I have been pretty busy. Tula, I absolutely love everything so far. I have all the pictures and I will post them when I have more time to tonight. Buddafly, I am glad you are enjoying everything!
I'm glad you liked everything. I'd love to see what you end up doing with the hair. Mei Mei means little sister. That is what Lily was always called in China. She didn't like it much. :PLol I think it is adorable! Lily is a cute name too :)

Kittykat...I am glad you are happy with the candy....I mean I set you up with a lifetime supply ROFLOL.
Oh I am super happy with it. I mean I was happy with the little bit that was in with the tiny gnomes... but that box was stuffed full of it!

See its because here we can only buy it in big bags and I thought about putting a little in each of your gifts but then I noticed it was smelling up stuff with that pepper. So, rather than have all your gifts smell like red pepper I decided to stuff most of it in one box. LOL I taped it up so good hoping that would help. That spice is strong. LOL

LOL... yeah it is definitely a strong smell. My mouth waters just from smelling it. I can't buy it here. There is a small Mexican store that sells a very small amount of it, but they don't carry much and it is hard to go there often. When I lived in Tucson we would go to the swap meet (flea market) and buy so much of it.
day 15; a drawing of medley. in a glass frame. that got smashed in the box. and the broken glass tore the picture :(
Honestly next year when you run out...you can always ask me to shop for you and I can grab it...its easy enough...might be a little expensive to ship as its heavy....but if you need help getting your candy...there is tons of that all around me.
I might miss a day this week in brags...Dad has a procedure.
Day 15:Did it ^^
I recently bought a Starflower bait - she so will be rehaired with that Hot Lips colour!!!

Elf, those two table things belong to the patio table from Paradise Estate. It could be that the other parts were in one of those gifts that lost their numbers. Rest assured, I have sent the complete table, not just the parts. LOL
Wow, that money is so pretty!cause Batman is awesome ^_^
My day 16 was a notebook and some markers... but not just any noebook and markers... they are BATMAN! Jupi and I share a love of Batman, so these are awesome *chuckle*

MY MAIN BOX ARRIVED TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!! It came in two parcels and it's from Canada, but I haven't been able to open them yet, as I'm on my way to the city. I can't wait!!!Yay! So happy they finally arrived!! What date were they shipped on?? Was it just holiday delays?
No pictures yet, but Jazz gave me Athlete's Foot! I looked all over to find Syphalis and Mono to introduce them, but they're in remission right now. She also gave me a Squishy Ass!hehehehe I think not showing a picture right away makes it even more entertaining!
(I'm so happy I get to let this one steep until I get home from work!)
:birthday: :woohoo: :woohoo:Happy Birthday Kittykat 7 Whooooo Hooooooo :birthday: :woohoo:

that sparkle LPS is really cute. I often buy lps for my niece who collects, I'd love to give her one like that. I wonder where it's from.
My Day 19 was...

Misty Blue who is a stunning pony. And for $3, I wish we had a family dollar in Australia so I could have bought her when she was released. Another punch balloon, as you can see this one did not explode in my face. So I foiled Aurora's plan to have another balloon explode in my face. HAHA! A Christmas troll pin and a beautiful candy ornament that looks good enough to eat. I literally had to stop myself from licking it. Luckily there was lots of real candy in the box so I could distract my taste buds.

Also, I forgot to put these in the picture, but there were these Lorax stickers which give environmental tips.
Day 17. Cake themed erasers

And... since today is my birthday, Tula added a special present for me..
The squishy ass is a donkey-shaped stress ball, and I also got a dvd of Lesson Zero, and today's gift is the rainbow colored scarf that Jazz crocheted for me! (Crocheted, right? Not knitted?) I'm not sure it will fit me as a sash or belt, but it will be lovely as a scarf!
I'll keep trying to get pictures up, but I blame the weather- blocking the magic internet beams that are supposed to be bouncing off my driveway and into my house!
Maybe I should have waited until today to post...
It's my & my husband's 10th anniversary today, and I opened... HEARTTHROB!
How very appropriate. :D
Unfortunately, my new place gets too much sun for ferns to be happy. But, now I can have some in the house! :frolic: I even already have a purple pot to get some started in.I hope you can make the fern seeds grow! My grandad tried with lots of effort & it 'seems' to work ^^. The Sundance is from the same McD set as Morning Glory. She originally came with a balloon. Morning Glory came with a little house. In the set, there were Silver Swirl with a little castle & Sweet Berry with a heart shaped box, too. ^.^
I know the one Petal Blossom is from McDonalds. Where is Sundance from?
Dang, TwilightWhispers, you are very good at hiding if there's a pony in a package or not.:dance2: :lol:
Boo, for some reason the pictures aren't loading so I can't see everyone else's brags.
For me on the 21st I got my first pony of the advent! And it was my first of the Rainbow Curl's! I'll show the pictures later when I have time today to take them. I got a simply gorgeous Streaky! I'll probably try to get her hair seperaated and into nice ringlets again, but she is simply perfect and mint :)
Then for day 22 I got a MIB Sunrise Song! She is so pretty in person, I was amazed. Her hair has such rich coloring, and her symbol is so crisp.
Besides that, Budda spoiled me with lots of fun coloring books and some crayons (I adore coloring books!) She's also given me many delicious candies that are already eaten, gorgeous puzzles, the most beautiful peacock note pad, and some adorable Mickey mugs/cups! Look forward to those pictures later ;)
did I really wait so long to add in the ponies?? I thought I had mixed them in a little better! you were probably wondering if you'd ever get any!! LOL
I had considered doing streaky's hair myself, but I honestly have the attention span of a gnat and I would have never finished. I have one rainbow curl of my own that needs it done, too. never gonna happen ;)
can't wait to see pics so I can remember everything I sent ;) so very glad you love everything so far :)
Lol I have to admit that I was a bit curious as to what you had planned, but seen as how bad things have been for me having a lot of pony right now is awesome too :)
Yeah, I have a lot of ponies waiting to go to the spa, I might take a day at home to just pamper ponies. Spa day is always very theraputic for both parties haha
ETA: goodness I said Streaky when I meant Stripes... my brain today. I got a lovely STRIPES :blush:
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. Things are getting crazy around here with the holidays. I have so many cool things to brag about. I hope to get them done tomorrow. I did realize that I don't have a Day 22 gift so I won't have a brag for that day.
EmberBright, I'm glad you are enjoying the gifts and you got to enjoy using the sprinkles!
Day 22: Part of the mobile for the crib!
Day 18:

Braided Beauty.
She is actually quite nice, Aurora. When I read your note, I was like "Oh No" but I opened her up, and she's lovely. Yes, she has flaws, but I have much much worse ponies in my collection. :hug:
Today I got this lovely G4 bracelet! Did you make it yourself? There was a note that said do not get wet... I will try not to get it wet (does it multiply like mogwai?)!!!My friend rarely makes them, and by rare is their is no one like it else where ^^

Oh really? I got the name from Summer's book. Summer!!! *shakes fist*
Oh btw, mk, I wish I'd bought you more Reece's pieces having seen your reaction. They were on sale for 2 for $2 when I got them :P
I am so behind, I feel bad! Luckily I have been able to keep my partner updates whenever I open a gift to let her know how much I love them all - just no time for pictures yet!
I'm still holding out hope that maybe my partner will post one big end of swap brag...
Day 21: A duck comb in dark green/ turquoise, but I can't figure out who it belongs to.

Oh, really? On the greatponies site it says the crib came with purple/ pink?Mine was mint in the box and it came with purple pink duck comb more purple than pink. I just can't help but wonder if in some cases there will be variants. I will add though my comb is very similar to color of the necklace and my box shows that color as well. Mine is from Canada. Accessories are enough to make you scream sometimes. LOL
oh yeah, look Tula, yours is purple and mine is blue!
Hello Ponies....I've been quietly enjoying my swap box since I rarely get time on the actual computer to post pics and stuff....sooooo prepare yourselves for the big brag of the best swap box! NoDivision BLEW me away with how AWESOME this year's box was! Thank you sooooo much NoDivision for an insanely awesome box that totally made my Dec : )
My brag with pics will be coming tonight!

Yay jazz I am so happy you liked everything :)
I wish I was able to fit more stuff in their but I think would of needed my own personal plane XD
Have a very merry Xmas <3
MK I'm glad you liked your box. Btw, the plushies were all made my Anitas_Mom here on the arena. I love her plushies so much. And if you hadn't worked out who is featured in the shirt it's heart throb and main sail. Hope it fits ok.
How about the feedback? Who leaves it for whom? Can I leave it for both partners?
Thank you Xeevee, for being a great partner and posting oodles of notes and pictures! It was awesome shopping for you, and I hope you enjoy all the ponies and extras!
Thank you Jazzmatazz for an amazing swap box! My swap package last year was less-than-awesome, but I know my partner put effort into it, so I didn't complain. It's not like I'll get my money back if I do complain, after all! LOL! But this year was fun and interesting and since we've actually met each other it made it really special, and I love everything! Even the ridiculously limey burt's bees!
And Sternen, thank you for keeping track of this rag-tag bunch of crazies and trying to keep us in line. I really appreciate it, and I LOVE that you host this every year. It's a tradition now, and I've already bought a couple things to stash away until next year's swap. I love clearance!
I love your handmade items so much. I am still waiting for my partner to finish her brag photos as well. Hope she does this soon as I would like to know how she felt about her day 25...

I did the snowman from a few days back, and boy... he got HUGE! I should have taken a pic, but he's out of water and slowly shrinking back down now.
I won't be home for most of tomorrow, so I was a bad girl and opened my day 25 today *sheepish grin* hey, I was a good girl up until now and didn't open anything early, despite having my tree and pile of gifts RIGHT next to my desk! the temptation was great, but I bravely resisted!
day 25: PLUSHIE COTTON CANDY :)

thank you kittykat, for everything :)
So sorry for my late posting of the final day :blush: - I was away with family for Christmas!Jem, I really did enjoy shopping for you and I'm glad you liked everything so much. I thought that Scrumptious would be a good end to the swap: that's the pose that I've never wanted in my own collection but she was so lovely she might have changed my mind. :P
Updated the last day on my original post on page 19 - some fab presents to top off this amazing swap! :biggrin:
Thank you soooo much to my amazing swap partner Elfpony, you have been so amazingly generous and put so much thought into my gifts! *hugs* :biggrin: This was the first time doing the Advent Swap and it has been amazing and I'd love to do it all over again next year!! ;)
Cheers and hugs also for Stern who has done a great job organising it all - all the rules and info were really clear and detailed and the Q&A was really helpful for trying to make sure I got some really nice things that my swap partner Honeycomb would like! :)
A very Happy New Year to you all and see you all next year!! *runs off to leave feedback for Elfpony and Stern* :biggrin:
Jem xxxx
Thanks, Sternen! You are amazing and we love you!

Psssst, Sternen! Can you change the wording in question number 5 in the 4-season swap? I think you cut and pasted the same stuff from last April Fool's day! LOL!
2. Thinking of Buddhafly (or Buddha, either image is funny!) hiding all the ponies in one box! I also picture you laughing maniacally while you are doing it. SO FUNNY to imagine The Buddha laughing maniacally!

lol... you're silly. :-P
everyone thinks it's pronounced like the fat little guy, but it's really buh-dah-fly. think butter, but pronounce the T's as D's.
