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...

same here.  I know my partner has been going though some hard times - but I'd like to know how she felt about the last few days of her swap box

[Sternenstaub]

I think the holiday time is stressful for most people - I'm pretty sure your partners like their boxes and will post a brag of the last days soon.
Give them a few days.

[Aurora]

I know it took me a few days to just recover from the holidays, and I don't have things like children or high-power jobs or (luckily!) family crisises to deal with. I agree with Sternen, give them a few days. They'll hopefully pop in!

Chipster, those are some awesome treasures! I didn't know they had any fabric with Tropical Breeze on it- maybe I should start hunting for some sheets!

[Sternenstaub]

I will also leave you all a feedback in the New Year.

[tulagirl]

Stern you are a fabulous host.  I know how hard the holiday stress can be. I am swimming in a thick ooze of misery myself LOL.  I am a little on the moody side as a result.  I just have this awful headache that won't quit. Blaaaaaa  I think I will hide under a rock for a while.  Hugs to everyone who has a stress or a struggle during this time of year.  My heart goes out to you.

Happy New Year!!!

[StarDragon]

Oh yes, I almost forgot about feedback! Thanks for the reminder.

Editing my post because on Day 18 I got Tulip Twinkle, not Fairy Dust. >.<

Eskara, I ADORE my Christmas day gift you will have to excuse me just a couple more days before I can post up a pic!

[sosoftbuttons]

  phew *mops brow*  the family have gone home, our friends have gone home, we've done the visits to neighbours, and we've all eaten way loads too much food that was a very busy christmas!! 

and its taken me ages to catch up on the thread    the last few days of goodies have been fab, its so lovely to see group photo's of ponies together, and other bits all together... i wonder if anyone will be able to keep *ALL* their candy unopened for a group photo at the end of the swap next year, lol

many thanks to stern for hosting the swap again this year
and best wishes to everypony for 2013    

[Jemofirongate]

So sorry for my late posting of the final day - I was away with family for Christmas!

Updated the last day on my original post on page 19 - some fab presents to top off this amazing swap!

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*  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*

Jem xxxx

I am terribly sorry it has taken me this long to finish my posts.  I have no excuse... just let time slip away and I was a little down and out for the past week.  I am working on my last brags now.

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
