[Honeycomb]

Cute pony! And a Lindt bear, yummy!
It's the 1st in China, but I'm getting ready to leave, packing the suitcase, which is way too heavy again, then having one last delicious meal here, and off to the airport I am. I will open 2 gifts tomorrow! Yeah!!!!

[Buddafly]

weee first brag!

[Diamond]

Great brag to start us off.

[DazzleKitty]

Awesome first brag! I love the sparkle babies.

It's about 1 hour and 40 minutes until midnight here. Not sure if I'll make it. I'm kinda tired.

[Mkia]

Aww cute pony for the first brag! I will have to remember to sign up for this one next year!! But in the meantime, I will sit back and watch everyone's brags!!

[NoDivision]

YAY, congrats! What a great start to your swap box!

[ChipsteRJ]

I totally left the box sealed until tonight!

The first swap box someone actually dared to send me Gushers... know how long those lasted????? Not long at all!


Day #2 my partner has outdone herself once again! Lego Series #7 didn't last long in my area. I only managed to get 4 of the series. I needed (and wanted) the swimmer very badly.  2 Dolly mix ponies, in lovely bright colors. Also note more Twix & Gushers. Grassshackgirl, you rock!

Unnamed G3 baby winter pony.... No idea how long she will live in the box- why is it easier to find this pony in a box than loose?

My fishy got spoiled today, my fishy usually does NOT get flakes, but the great thing about these is that they are colorless, so perhaps they won't foul up the tank!:

Usually I open my gifts at midnight, but sadly I have to train 33 new hires for the next 2 weeks and class begins at 6:30AM... my brags will need to wait until mid afternoon.

Thanks to the wonderful Grassshackgirl!!!!



I rotated the photo in Photobucket, but it seems to to un-rotate it when linking to the image????

Aww I'm glad you like your first gift, Sundaygirl! There's plenty more where that came from

I had two exams yesterday and I was exhausted so there was no way I could stay up until midnight. But that meant I had something to look forwards to this morning! I apologise how messy everything looks in these pics, I had only just jumped out of bed

Here's my very first Christmas card of the year! It made me giggle

[tulagirl]

Well here is my day one.  So excited. I absolutely love my Baby School bag, angel and stocking full of goodies.  Woooo hooooo great start to an awesome swap.  Thank you soooo much Dazzle.   I am going to number each picture because I am making a scrapbook to remember this swap.  I don't want to forget what I got each day.  This makes it easier when I print out my pictures.  I love the sparkly ornaments and the cute stocking.  I have already started using my pen!!! Yay

Dazzle: I may have to go to moms tonight and tomorrow night and I may not get the next two brags up until Monday or maybe Sunday night..don't be too concerned....I will be opening!! ROFLOL I just won't have computer access.

whooo hooo for day two...I am so excited about these little items. I love the cell phone charms. I like to put these on my purse zippers or backpacks when I go to moms.  The little white kitty in the box is a neato hair tie.  I put the flowers under the lamp in my collectibles room. It looks perfect in there.  Its really neat.

Ok, so I opened my first present from ChipsteRJ and I giggled so hard. She knew I was looking for G3 Marshmellow Coco because I had her hat but not the pony or her tail bow. So Day 1 came and there she was! I photographed her with the hat I had on her! I already ate the sour Watermelon candy! Yummy!

This is why I LOVE having an accessory addict as my partner! I get accessories! So today I got to pick a gift that's in a ziplocked bag that gives me an option of picking whatever present I want for certain days. So I just picked the first one on the top and as soon as I felt it... I knew what it was!
BNG brushes!

So for today, I had set out the Day 10 present the night before so I had it all ready in the morning to open. My cats were going nuts. In fact, one of them decided to try to help me unwrap it. Once I opened it... I knew why they were so interested. Catnip Toys!!! There is another one somewhere but my cat Nala took off with it.
