I'm so glad you liked it. I had a blast making it. :P And this is the first box I've done with a custom. She doesn't have a name, so feel free to name her yourself.
-
Wow, now it feels extra special to me. She really is amazing, I have no idea what I am going to name her yet. I am going to have to think of an equally awesome name to match how epic she is!
-
Kittykat7, you were totally spoiled! That's an amazing package, and that custom is so fun! I like the snowman the best- it's hot in MN right now, so anything with snow looks good! And DANG! You got the cookies. I was keeping my fingers crossed for that! I'm sure my partner has something equally awesome for me, but until then... dang.
And slightly off-topic, that quilt is stunning. Did you make it?
-
All these brags are so cool! I can't wait to get my package! ^^ Also excited to see what my partner thinks of their goodies. I hope they like them. This is my first swap, and it was very fun!
I hope my package is still on its way... I had a bad experience last week with the post office and the jerk sent all my letters back to their senders. >.< He said there was no package for me, but he could have been lying...
-
Oh such great boxes, congrats to all.
-
That 4 season Custom is awesome! Great boxes so far, Cant wait to see more!
-
Ooh, such wonderfully awesome boxes! Great job, everyone. Can't wait to see more :D
-
Hey, Sternen? Are you ok? I want to know how you liked your package from your mystery partner!
-

Thanks... Jahlila really did spoil me, she paid so much attention to my likes and interests and hobbies. And she incorporated them into some awesome season themes. The custom is truly epic, I love the snowman too. It is hard to decide my favorite though because they are all so beautiful. After I saw who my partner was I went back into the main thread because I remembered somebody mentioning the homemade cookies and I just about squealed when I read it was Jahlila. Those cookies are soooooo yummy!!!
Thanks but no, I did not make the quilt. I wish I was gifted in the art of quilt making. Both of the ones in the pictures are store bought.
-
Still pretty, though! I think that's the wedding ring pattern, i've always admired it! My mom does the quilting thing, though hers are more patchwork than the fancywork ones!
-
Oh WOW what a wonderful box!!
Major Congrats kittykat7!!
The customs is totally awesome - what a cute idea!!!
Your partner did a great job!!
@Aurora:
Everything fine here!
Sorry to make you wiat with my brag - but our notebook crashed the evening I was going to brag... since last night I have it back but I just started to work on with it today.
I used our netbook the last few days for everything - and the brag pics are on the notebook.
If I hadn't the burn wound on my arm I had took new pics, but in that situation I was waiting to get the notebook back.
So long story short - my brag pics will be up in a few hours honey!! **Hugs**
@at all:
Maybe I will give the 4 Seasons Swap a "every year" tradition like the advent calendar swap - and I can host it again next year. :)
-
I would totally do this swap again, Sternen! Though if it is going to destroy your computers and burn your arm, maybe you should steer away from it! LOL! I'm very excited to see your brag, I think I'm even more excited for that than I am to get my own package! (Until I get my package, of course, then everything changes. I'll have ponies in my grubby little hands! Bwahahahaha!)
I'll check later tonight- yay! I have a long kayak adventure tomorrow, so I'll need a break from getting ready for it!
-
I got my box yesterday! I will post the pics soon! The only problem is, my partner did not include a note to let me know who they are!
SO thank you partner! Whoever you are! I loved all the goodies!
-
:cheer: Finally my Brag!!! :cheer:

Whoa, such awesome brags!! :cheer:
What a lot of ponies Stern!!!!
I hope my partner gets their parcel soon...!
-
Sternenstaub, is that your pony room in the background? MY GOODNESS! How big is that room? It's lovely, and I can only see little bits of it!
I tried to find other brags and pictures of your Applejack Army, and I didn't see the blind bag one, but she's small and could have slipped past me.
I'm glad you like it! I was a little worried about the Easter candy, but I know I've kept bags of that candy for a few months and it was still delicious, so it was worth a shot. Those Cadbury Mini Eggs are my favorites, it was hard to hold onto them and then send them away! And I'm happy to see the Care Bear towel has a loving home! When I saw it, I knew it needed to be yours!
Whew! Now I can settle down to being excited about getting my package... I always worry that my husband got it in the mail and left it in his garage or something without telling me.
-
@Aurora:
No, it isn't my ponyroom - it's our living room.
The ponyroom is to small meanwhile to display all ponies - so I displayed the rarer ones like the Nirvans, rare Mocs and special ponies to me in 4 glass show cabinets in the living room. :P
A made a video half a year ago from the ponyroom only:
http://v7.tinypic.com/player.swf?file=332xkyb&s=7
I need to take pictures of the ponies in the living room as well - I need a 5th glass cabinete soon..
And the G3s and G4s are displayed in our bed room.
You see - a house full of ponies.
-
Ok, that's a little less intense than I was imagining! The living room displays are awesome, but it would take a lot of room to display every pony that beautifully!
The sad thing is that most people would see the display in your living room and be impressed, but not as impressed as they should be!
Gonna go watch that video now! Whee!
ETA: That is an amazing pony room! It's so tidy, and you can find everyone! Mine has all the generations and anything I've amassed that's pony related all jammed together- the husband doesn't mind a few ponies leaking out into the rest of the house, but it overwhelms him if they are everywhere. That's fair, since I have a pony room! He has a garage/shop to keep all his toys in.
-
Yeah but it's a bit older. The AJ Army growed up massive, the Dutchies are displayed in the living room as well and I added a few more to my collection.
I guess I will wait until christmas and will make a new video then. :)
-
Came home from my holiday today and had a package waiting for me!
From.... moonflower! Lol seems we swapped to eachother :) But thats alright with me. Because I'm over the moon with what I got (pun intended lol)
So much work put into finding all the little things in my box. I can tell you had fun too (or so I hope :p)
Here's what came out of a quite beat up box (it was a little damp I'm guessing its been raining in the UK + here!)

I'm actually very picky with customs to be honest :blush: Yours however is stunning and so good looking! :happy: Not sure if you are aware of it, or perhaps you did it on purpose, but you did her eyes green so she's the Scandinavian version :D
Silver Glow! Woot! Perfect winter pony.

All the yummy extras! Balls for my lil cat :D Lots of scrummy candy - kinder chocolate that I love so much as well as and sour skittles! :happy: chomping down on the sour Haribos right now too! Love little Rainbowshine as well she's off to join her Wave 4 herd :D

Thank goodness you got it, Trish - I was getting a little worried, lol! It has been raining so much here lately, up until the last couple of days where we have had glorious, lovely sunshine!
I do hope you like everything and I hope Gusty settles in well with the others! :biggrin: xxx
-
I got my box yesterday! I will post the pics soon! The only problem is, my partner did not include a note to let me know who they are!
SO thank you partner! Whoever you are! I loved all the goodies!
Bah, I'm such a dummy! It was me, mermaid! :P
This is my first swap so I totally spaced on that part of it. :blush: I really hope you enjoyed your package! I had tons of fun shopping for fun little season-themed goodies.
-
Wow, that custom G4 Gusty is stunning, Trish! Congrats :cheer:
-
Looks like it is my turn to Brag!
Some cute saying on the packages and Whiskers investigating!:

First package to open was the cat toys, but that still didn't deter the cats!
It is too dark, but Minimize can be seen in the background playing with the toy, although she was more interested in the leaves and flowers than her cat toys!

A great box hats off to KittyKat7!
My favorite is the coloring book with the baby ponies- my absolute favorite set!!!!
-
Oooh, what a fun box! You got the g4 paper that I was drooling on! I love the stickers on the coloring book- any funny pictures inside?
-
Oooh, what a fun box! You got the g4 paper that I was drooling on! I love the stickers on the coloring book- any funny pictures inside?
The stickers are NOT stuck on the book, I just put them on the book to show them off!
Not really funny photos, but as depicted on the cover the ponies are FAT! There is one photo labeled Trickles, but the symbol looks more like Sprinkle's and there is really cute expression on Ducksoup- I'm tempted to color the photos.
-
Yay!!! I'm glad you got it and I am glad you like everything. There was actually three cat toys (one for each of your cats) but while I was wrapping everything my cats found them and singled one out and completely drooled all over it, so they got to keep it. I knew you would love that coloring book... it was perfect since I read you like the baby ponies (I do too).
-
Lovely boxes ChipsteRJ and Trish!! :)
-
Awwww, chubby little ponies!
And cool! The stickers aren't stuck- that makes it 100 times cooler!
-
Awesome boxes everyone! I love seeing all these wonderful brags!
And that custom G4 Gusty is amazing!!
-
Moonflower, I agree- that custom is a beautiful! Trish, that is a fantastic package!
-
No new boxes rolling in?
-
I got my package! I got my amazing package of amazing-ness! And I was really really really spoiled. Like spoiled to tears and shock. You should go get a cup of coffee, this is going to be a long brag!
I missed the package in the mail for a couple days- little yellow slips to be filled out, not home, etc., and then I was away at a birthday party all afternoon so I didn’t actually get to see the package until 10 pm on Saturday. It’s so pretty, and I recognized the sender right away, especially since I had just sent a package to her. So I knew it was Sternenstaub’s package. And I remember her saying something about spoiling her partner, so I was really excited before I even made it into the house.

I finally got my night-time chores done (put away chickens, walk dog, check for burglers… the normal stuff) and opened the package. Look at all those lovely little gift bags! I love the sleepy chick, and the Halloween bag is so creepy and cool!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I asked the Husband which package to open first, and he said to start with my least favorite season. I asked which one that was, and he decided it was Spring. Because it’s muddy and cold or hot, but never perfect, and then it’s gone. So Spring it was!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Are those real eggs covered in paper? They’re egg-squisite! And they feel really fragile, so I’m glad none of them broke in the mail! I have a big metal tree I’ve been wanting to decorate for Easter, these are the perfect egg-scuse to do it. There’s also some candy (tasted it last night, the husband begged) and adorable Winnie-the-Pooh stickers with glitter! Yay, glitter!
The flat package had a cute window decoration and a mouse pad. I’m using the mouse pad right now! Who are the characters on it? Is it a German cartoon, or just a funny little drawing? Either way, it’s cute and snuggly!

The next two packages had little figurines- there’s an adorable bunny and a little farmer bear. The farmer bear missed this photo shoot, but you’ll see him later. I discussed with the figurines where they wanted to go, and farmer bear decided a potted plant was his choice. Bunny has not decided yet. Also, this is when I realized how much dog hair is in the couch. Ew.

I like to save pony packages for last, when I can tell they are ponies. But these two had me confused, since there was only supposed to be one pony in the bag! But no, here they are! Dance Slippers and Magic Motion Light Heart! Dance Around is going to be so excited to meet her sister!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
It really bugs me when I only have one out of a set of 2, especially when they’re sisters. So Dance Slippers fills one of those little gaps, and that makes me very happy. And Light Heart? She’s a g2! My list of g2’s is full of ponies that I know I’ll never find at a yard sale, so I’m ALWAYS thrilled to get a g2!
Michael (husband) says my next least favorite season is Winter. I decided not to question him, since he was hanging out with me and pony stuff, which doesn’t happen that often. I pulled out the funny Christmas Duck, and my dog (Otis) was RIGHT THERE! I don’t know how he decided that plush toys were ok to chew, since I put yell at him when he even gets close to a plush, but he really wanted this one! This picture was right before I snatched it away and distracted him with wads of wrapping paper.

The Winter box also has a chimney sweep on a rocket ship. Is this a tradition? Does he deliver gifts? I love the funny little guy, but I totally don’t get it- he’s going on my Christmas tree every year now, but I would love to know if he’s a German icon of some kind! There’s also a whole bunch of awesome chocolates that I haven’t eaten yet- I’m saving them for a special occasion, like Monday. Maybe Tuesday.

Sternenstaub, you are a braver shipper than me- it’s a snow globe! I LOVE snow globes, they seem like they are filled with magic- you flip them, it snows, you flip them, it snows, and it never gets old. I’m sure this says something deep about my psyche, but I just love ‘em! And look, there’s garden bear! See, I told you he’d show up.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
And here’s a little bag of confetti shaped like pine trees! Want to know my plan for these? My sister-in-law’s Christmas gift. She HATES glitter and confetti, and made the mistake of telling me that! So I’ve made a special point of including some in every gift or card for her. Then I get to watch her wipe off imaginary glitter for the rest of the day. It’s harmless fun, but so much of it!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
And on top of all that awesome, there’s a pony too! Winter Minty in her pretty box with other languages! Pfefferminzchen! Look at her cute little scarf! When it snows and I want to take pictures of ponies in snow, it’s going to be really hard leaving her in that package.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I know Fall is my favorite season, so I decided without Michael’s help to open the Summer package next. There’s these cute little fireworks that can fold in and out, and a note with something about a special highlight in this box… honestly, I expected a highlighter marker!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Floats! Yellow Lobster! Blue Fish! Two of my Baby Sea Ponies get to have floats! They’ll be so excited! (I always have to look up which float goes to which baby.)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Then I opened a little package of kleenexes (Taschentucher! I’m learning German!) with butterflies on them. The last package had me a little confused. I had already opened 2 pony things, so this package that feels like a baby pony is very unexpected. Even MORE unexpected when I actually opened it and found…..
Baby Ribbon without those scary blinky eyes! Sternen, she’s amazing! This is when a few little tears popped into my eyes, and Michael got to make a little bit of fun of me. Let him, I’m holding NBBE Ribbon! Good thing I opened the Tuchers first! LOL! She’s so beautiful, Sternen! Her little eyes are so bright and she doesn’t fall over when I set her down, like the one with the blinky eyes does.

So I calmed down a little, shared a little bit of chocolate with Michael, and nabbed the Fall package.

There’s a cute little table-decoration ghost and a Halloween pencil, some Autumn Tea (mmmmm! Now I just need to get a cold so I can drink it!) and candy. This is a great wrapping paper idea, too- the Halloween napkins are perfect!
Look at this adorable little tea-light holder! It says Happy Harvest, and I’ll bet it’s lovely with the candle glow through it!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
And the big package has a note attached, that this pony didn’t make sense for Fall, so she dressed up to join in the fun. Can you tell who she is?
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Oh my goodness, it’s Cascade! She has been one elusive pony for me- every time I find a seller with a reasonable price, they won’t ship to the US! So many of them have slipped away from me! She’s so beautiful, I can’t wait to put her in her place of honor on the waterfall! She and Sprinkles are going to have so much fun together!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Here are all of the ponies together, looking absolutely amazing and making me smile ear to ear! Honestly, they make my heart melt a little bit, they’re so wonderful! Thank you, Sternen! This package was amazing and fun to open, and the ponies are so absolutely wonderful! I am completely spoiled!

I'm glad you like everything Sweetie!!
And I'm happy the box arrived safety.
All ponies and Accessoires were great deals - what allowed me to spoield you a bit. :)
The Mousepad shows "Diddl".
Diddl is very populare in Germany - you can get any and all stuff of him here - Mousepads, Stationarry, Plushies, Pencils ... I thought it would be nice to add something special from here. :P
The Chimney Sweeper we give away to New Year - like Pennys or little Piggys - he is a symbol for luck.
I thought that would be match for the Winter Seasons as well. ;)
Baby Ribbon was the first Pony I snapped for you and I was so happy that I find one in that good condition.
Enjoy your new goodies and ponies!! **Hugs**
-
I guessed Diddl was something like that- we have Garfield or Hello Kitty, they are everywhere! (I think Hello Kitty is just everywhere, no matter what country you are in!)
That's interesting about the chimney sweep, I'd never heard that! Our family doesn't have anything special for New Year's, we just get together and try valiantly to stay up until midnight. That's what I get for only knowing people who work early in the morning!
I'm glad you got good deals on them- otherwise this completely destroyed the limit! I love them all so much, I'm putting off taking them to the pony room so I can just stare at them! *GIANT HUGS!*
-
Hahahahaha!! Tell me a place were Hello Kitty isn't to find?
Maybe on the moon...lol..
I like Hello Kitty - but sometimes the shops are a bit oberloaded with her...
Guess what I find in a shop for pet treats and accessoires... Hello Kitty Drops for cats! Ahhh!!!
To stay in the budget is mostly hard...and yes I also went a bit over it this time - but all the ponies abolutely worth it. :)
And to stop buying in a long time swap period is always hard. :P
It was hard to let Casscade go - because I still need a nice one for my collection as well.
I guess she is on my wantlists for swaps since 2 years or so...so I'd never bought one for myself..lol..
You know how it goes - when I buy her now - I will def. receive her from anywhere. :P
Diddl is meanwhile also populare around the world.
My friend Myra from the US found some notepads a year back in a shop in the US - and when I sold a few of my Plushies ( I have had lots of them - over 70 a while back) I was in contact to Diddl Fans from Australia and Sweden... but most populare is he in Germany.

Alrighty... after a long, and rather unpleasant hiatus... I am back!
And I have a box to brag about! :happy:
I actually received it a little over a week or so ago... but I refrained from opening it until I finally managed to get *MY* partner's box out. Soooo sorry for that delay! But I'm hoping it arrives in her hot little hands tomorrow! :D
Anywho... let's see here!
SQUEE! look at all of those purdy and colorful packages just waiting to be torn into!!! :lol:

The Filly Princess is royally cute too... :lol: I've often toyed with buying one or two of these... but hesitated because I'd never seen them in person. This little gal is cute... and purple! :lol: I loves me some purple ponehs!
The "Chess piece" Salt & Pepper shakers are awesome too!! As soon as I buy hubby and me some new pepper (we ran out) they will be filled!!! ^.^
And of course... the Gusty & the Genie storybook!!! Too cool!!! I hadn't heard that story before... read right thru it! Poor Gusty always getting into trouble! haha!!!
Thank you sooooo much Eviecorn!! :lovey: You absolutely spoiled me rotten!!! And made me one happy pony!!!! *hug*!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed everything!!!
-
I'm so glad it got to you and that you're happy! I had a time finding Baby Blossom, but I'm glad I did, and Sun Glider too! :hug:
-
Oooh, awesome box and such lovely ponies! Evie put together a beautiful package, and my mom would love those S&P shakers :D
-
The D/C # on my box said "Notice Left"... yesterday. It was sent to a PO box... so I'm not surprised...
but... :whoa: the wait for my partner to post if she got it... is killing me! :lol:
-
I am so mad! :mad: The post office in my town is such a bunch of jerks. They have a history of messing things up and not caring about people's mail.
I have been waiting for my swap partner's package to arrive, I checked Friday and Saturday but there was no slip inside my PO box to tell me there was a package. Finally I went up to the desk today and asked him and he just says "Oh yeah I have that" and goes and gets it! Hello, how can I know there is a package for me if you don't put a slip in my box? Grrr.
Well it's time to forget about the post office troubles and celebrate my swap box arriving! Yay! I'm so excited, my hands are itching to open it but I'm at work so I'm resisting until I get home lol. Expect brag photos tonight!
-
I'm glad it arrived safety!
I know how post offices can be - I have had the same at my own...
Can't wait for your brag!!
-
Ahhh, sorry! I finally got to post my brag! :blush:
Well let me preface this by saying I really hope my partner liked her package and the gifts I got her. I feel like everyone went way overboard on their partners' gifts except me! >.> I'll try to do better with my next swap, this was my first one. I would still love to see a brag post by my partner if she has the time/inclination.
Okay now on to ladybrooklyn's exciting package! I'm so glad it arrived safely. These days I can't help but fear the postal service, but here the package arrived safe and sound! And oooo those 'love me tender' stickers sure got me excited for what mysteries lay within! lol.

When I opened the box, my breath caught in excitement at all the little gifts I got to open! Being a grownup means no one wraps your Christmas presents, mostly I get given gift cards, so this sure felt nostalgic to me! Also I collect greeting cards (a weird collection, I know, but some of them are so gorgeous) and that beautiful butterfly card is going right into my collection!

Four of the packages had pony stickers and were labeled 'spring' 'winter' 'summer' and 'fall', so I had a sneaking suspicion the ponies were in these packages!! So what was in the others...? (Yes, I opened the others first. I like to torture myself lol.)

CANDY! Yay! \o/ And stickers! Double yay! Who doesn't like stickers, I ask you? No one doesn't, that's who. ^.^ And how did ladybrooklyn know that cow tails are MY FAVORITE THING ON TEH ENTIRE PLANET TO PUT IN MY MOUTH? Omgggg... *drool* You can see in the photo I already broke into the box... :lol: And panda cookies from Japan, eee!

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! On to the ponies! Why, look! For our winter pony we have January Carnation! Yay! My goal of getting all the 12 Birthflower G3's is one step closer to completion! (I tried to show her beautiful straight silky soft luxurious hair in this shot--omg you do not know the true feeling of sily hair until you've petted a G3 straight out of the box...if the hair didn't get all caught on that weird little cardboard sewed thing, anyway.)

And I couldn't contain myself any longer, I tore into fall and spring--whoo! March Daffodil and October Calendula! (I am sensing a theme!) Again they had that perfect G3 hair...I petted them for far too long. :lol: Together with February Violet, May Lily of the Valley, November Crysanthemum, and December Pointsettia, I'm over halfway done my collection!

And last but not least, I could tell the winter I mean summer (duh) package was a little bit larger than the others, so I held it off until last. But now I couldn't help it and dived in and--omg who is this!?

I looked it up, it's Tassles! XD On my Wish List I posted that I wanted to start collecting the Merry-Go-Round ponies but didn't have any of them yet--and now I do! Yay! She's so pretty. (And BIG! haha I didn't realize the mold was bigger than all the other G1's wow!)
Thanks again ladybrooklyn, this was a great first swap and I can't wait to do another!

My brag is really late but I am going to post it tonight or tomorrow. I have been holding out on eating my candy so I need to get it done soon. Temptation is strong! XD
-
Wow, I am so late! But I was a very good girl and held out on eating my candy so I could have it all together. Well, my mom stole a roll of Sweet Tarts from the lot. Please forgive her!
My partner was mermaid, and boy did she put together a box of amazing randomness! I got just what I asked for! I love random....stuff. Just cute tidbits that are fun to put in random spots in my room and admire. And the candy....OMG. it's like the fruity candy sampler from heaven! She got me POP ROCKish candy too! OMG that stuff turns me into a five year old again! I like to put a whole bunch in my mouth and make people at home listen to the obnoxious popping sounds. LOL
And on with the pics!

I almost hate to eat the lollipops shaped like flowers because they are so pretty! I want a bouquet of them.
And on to the ponies! I got some gems this time. A couple of set completers (well kinda......two newborns twins are reunited and Baby Fleecy and her friend are together! and the ballerina baby finished up that set!). I got an upgraded Tickle too! My old one was very scary looking!

I am in a couple other swaps right now and by the time I got these, it was kinda late to update my wishlist. I hope my partner didn't buy any of these. I do love duplicates and they WILL be kept and cherished as a gift from a friend if so.
A BIG thank you to mermaid for this amazing box! I truly loved it and had so much fun opening everything up!
-
I am SO glad you loved all of your thing Dazzlekitty! :) Sorry it was a little late :( But glad it made it safe and sound!
Does anyone know who my partner was? I'd love to thank them, but they never sent their name with the package!
-
I am still looking for my partner! :( I would love to leave feedback and let them know the basil plant is starting to grow!

Mermaid, I bet if you go through this thread and write down the names of everyone whose name pops up when a box was received and then compare to the list of names in the original thread, you may be able to figure it out. Most peeps here posted the name of who sent them their box.
