Cat figurines for my Ugly Cat Collection. DazzleKitty, that one cat is so awesome because to me it looks like a Zombie Kitty! :haha: The shot glass is awesome. I lived in St. Louis for 6 months and the Arch was close by so that brought back great memories!

Thank you so much DazzleKitty! I love everything about your package and every item in it. Came at a great time cause I had a horrible day yesterday at work so this brightened my day! :hug:
-
what is a cupcake bite?! those look delicious! and the ponies look lovely too :) congrats!
-
Wow great swap box! Lovely additions to your herd ^^
-
I am soooo glad you like the box! I was so scared that the glass items would break during shipping so I know I probably did overkill when I wrapped them in paper towels, but it's good to see that it was worth my time.
I went around showing everyone the kitty figures. A lot of people in my family got a huge laugh out of the one with the yarn ball. It's face at a certain angle...it....is just awful. XD
I had no idea what was in the blind bags myself when I got them. I'm glad it wasn't one of the main six.
Thanks for sharing! And again, I am so happy you liked it all.

I kept wondering where to look for the brag photos, then I remembered (duh!) the Brag Arena, of course! :lol:
What a great box, DazzleKitty! What's wrong with me that my favourite item in the box is the cute pink owl? Ooh, and the treats look amazing, especially the cupcake bites. And cake-scented hand sanitizer? Yes, please! I am going so gaga over those extras, lol.
Your drawing of Sparkler is so cute! The curls, the eyes, the expression... she is lovely indeed. :)

Make a Wish Swap Brag: Thank You Shenanigans!!!
I really didn't expect to get my swap box so soon! And I was surprised and delighted that it came from the wonderful and super sweet Shenanigans who is not only generous, but is also thoughtful and creative. I am one lucky girl! I really couldn't be happier and more pleased with the ponies and extras she picked out for me.
First of all there were Princess and Pony stickers on the box (names and other info removed).

Then I opened to this stunningly beautiful hand made card.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
It is so pretty and I immediately put it on my dresser so I could see it. I know it is going to make me smile every time I look at it. And inside is one of my very favorite ponies, Rapunzel! Isn't her hair just so perfect? The sparkles were a really nice touch!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Oh my Goodness look at all the pretty packages! I love the cherries and Rapunzel prints!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Shenanigans picked out the perfect treats for me! I love those gummy peaches with a passion. They also remind me of spending time shopping with my mom at department stores when I was little. She would always let me get a small bag of them and so I associate them with everything good! And now I have even more reason to think of them as special. Thank you so much! Also notice the pretty lollypop!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Stickers!!! I collect stickers and these are the perfect additions! Notice the jellyfish sticker?! And the ponies and a collectors book for Tangled. I love it!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Look at all the stickers for Tangled! Rapunzel has always been my favorite fairytale and so I am thrilled to have this book and the stickers to go with it! Of course now I am going to want to fill it up!

Best of all, look at the puffy G1 pony stickers! I really love these guys. I've been wanting these for my sticker books for a while!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
That small box everyone was wondering about? It contained the puffy stickers! What a cute way to protect them:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Shenanigans knew exactly what kinds of scents I would love. In the cutest candy corn bag I have ever seen I found 4 lip glosses in super yummy fall scents. Mmmmm!!! There is also peach lotion (yum) and berry scented bubble bath (double yum). She also included an adorable emory board with a Halloween cat on one side and a spider on the other. So cute! There was an orange flower which I am going to wear quite a lot I suspect! My favorite color is orange! I can't forget the wind up sushi! As soon as I opened it I started laughing! Love it!

Shenanigans doesn't know it, but I collect plush jellyfish. I have a bunch! One of these days I am going to decorate my Christmas tree with them. I was totally surprised to see that she found me a plush jellyfish! And it is one I have never seen before! It is going to get a very special place in my collection. I love the brilliant aqua blue. And look what else! She sent me a crocheted catnip toy jellyfish too! He is one happy camper!

What was in that pretty orange bag?
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
A beautiful ornament! I am going to treasure it and put it on my tree every year!! I love ornaments and can never have enough!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
We all know what was in here! I haven't tried them yet because they are so pretty! They made it safely through the mail and only one is broken. My husband is threatening stealing them when I am not looking. No no! I have to carefully take them out and take more pictures before I can even taste them! So they are carefully sealed up at the moment. They smell delicious! And they are such works of art that I am going to feel guilty when I do eat them! These really are special Shenanigans! You went all out!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Speaking of art! Shenanigans made me two beautiful pieces of art (three when you could the card, and four if you count the cookies). She made one of Mommy and Baby Sugarberry out collecting strawberries from their garden. I love it! Sugarberry is probably my favorite pony, and the fact that she is with her baby makes it even sweeter! Thank you for making such a touching picture.
(I cropped off your signature because I wasn't sure if you wanted your name it on here. I'm very sensitive to keeping personal information out of pictures. I can put up the whole picture if you like)

And then she did a second picture with seaponies, Megan, and sea creatures. This one has jellyfish, a cuttlefish, sea urchins, and a nudibranch! All things I love very much! The cuttlefish is especially adorable. For never having drawn one, it is probably one of the cutest cuttlefish I have seen in art. I love that Megan looks like she is holding her breath, but is still super cute and her hair and bangs are floating in the water.

On to the ponies!!! You really spoiled me! I think you sent me almost every single pony on my most wanted list! Every one of them is beautiful! They are all now on my dresser having a small pony party.
First the sparklers! She sent me a rainbow of blind bags from the newest set and she sent the three others that I was really looking for! They all came with their cards too (not pictured). I really really love these!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Trixie!!! I had been looking for her! She is one of the prettiest G4s yet!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Then there was a pretty selection of G3s! Citrus is one of my all time favorite G3s and I never bought her for myself. Now that I have her, I wonder why I never gave in before! And look who is in the front, Shenanigans! Who happens to also be a pony I wanted, but now she is all the more special for having come from Shenanigans! Then there is Tea Leaf which reminds me of Shenanigans so much because she likes yellow ponies with pink hair and this is kind of the reverse. And Sparklesnap who's colors just fascinate me. It doesn't seem like they go together but they really do.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Onto the G1s: Two twinkle eyed ponies!!! Yay!! I love twinkle eyed ponies so much! Sweet Pop is one of the ones I just started wanting to get! Shenanigan's must have read my mind! And Galaxy was one of my most wanted ponies. She is also a pony that my sister had as a kid, which is one of the reasons I wanted her so much. She reminds me of good times with my sister as kids. I am so happy to have her in my collection!

Eeee!!! I was given Goldilocks and Wildflower! These two beauties have been at the top of my list for a long time and I just adore them! They are both my very first sweetheart sisters and so I am super excited about them. Goldilocks looks just so amazing in person. I never realized her hair has two tones of gold. She really is spectacular. Wildflower's color and symbol have to be one of my favorites on any pony. And she came with an earring! I hadn't realized she had an earring! Sweetheart sisters are a little daring, aren't they! lol!

Shenanigans, you really gave me an amazing first swap experience. I can't thank you enough for this wonderful box of goodies!
XoXoXoXoXo!!!

oh my goodness! Whatan amazing box :D
-
*squee* I'm so happy you loved everything so much!! :lovey: :happy: It was so much fun picking everything out and getting to know you so well :D I didn't know you collected jellyfish plush, I'm so glad I got it for you! I debated because it was a little big, but I thought it was so cute :D The puffy stickers were the very first things I bought for you, I'm glad you love them ^.^ I just had to get you stickers since you collect :D I found Trixie at Target two days before I shipped, lol! I was glad I was able to get her!
My sister sells Avon and when I saw that adorable candy corn bag I was, "OMGMUSTGETFORPARTER!" because I know you like candy corn ^.^ I'm so glad you love everything, this has been just SO FUN! Eeep! :hug: :tackleglomp: :lovey:
-
Congrats on the box Marigold!!!
But Shenanigans - just wowowowowowowowo! What a swap box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing...and a mail order G1 :faint:...congrats sweetie!
-
Wow, what an amazing swap box. Shenanigans you did an amazing job :hug:
-
great box! lots of amazing goodies. *makes grabby hands at the cookies*
-
Wow, wow, and triple wow.
Partner, I hope you love your box, but I can guarantee there won't be original artwork and decorated cookies, lol. You've set the bar high, Shenanigans! :P
Marigold, I'm so glad you received this box. I think we were all secretly wishing for those cookies, but it looks like they went to the right person. And only one broke, incredible!
As with the first box, I think I am almost more intrigued with the extras than the actual ponies. That plush jellyfish is the cutest! I also like the nail file, orange flower hair clip, and lip glosses. The stickers and the treats, too! I loved reading the story about the Haribo peaches... what a lovely memory.
Another fabulous box, yippee!!!
-
Oh wow what lovely lovelies! :D So much fun to watch people opening them!
-
*squee* I'm so happy you loved everything so much!! :lovey: :happy: It was so much fun picking everything out and getting to know you so well :D I didn't know you collected jellyfish plush, I'm so glad I got it for you!

I love it all!! You really did pick out everything I would like. :D And I love your card you sent for me to read last too.
Marigold, I'm so glad you received this box. I think we were all secretly wishing for those cookies, but it looks like they went to the right person. And only one broke, incredible!
I feel a little guilty to be so lucky about the cookies and everything! And I know I can't send homemade goodies to my partner! I just don't bake or cook much. Which, really does make these cookies extra special. I rarely have home made treats like these.
-
Wow :shocked: I knew Shen was putting a lot of love into the box, but just wow that is beautiful! What a lovely box, congrats Mari! That card and art is just so lovely. You can tell a lot of care went into that box. ^.^
-
Amazing box of goodies!!!
-
Aww, I'm so glad ^.^ I'm glad I picked out the right candy as well! You were a pleasure to shop for :happy: I'm touched you remembered that I like yellow ponies with pink hair! ^.^ I couldn't find the codes on the blind bags anymore, so I randomly picked up one and bought it and it was Pepperdance! Exactly the one I was looking for :D I'm really glad you liked all my home made things :hug: It was so fun making them all!
Aw, guys, thanks! :blush: I did go a bit overboard, but I just couldn't help it.. it being my first swap and all :lol: :blush: I can't wait to see everyone else's too!!
-
Wow, what a great box!! Congrats to you, and good on Shenanigans for the awesomeness! I don't know if I would eat those cookies either. They're more suitab;e to FRAME them. They're that cool looking. XD That crocheted jellyfish made me grin.
And a tree decorated with them sounds awesome! If you do that I wanna see pics!
-
HOLY WOW! Shenanigans, you put together one AMAZING box! And Marigold, you are one lucky pony! Thanks for sharing. It was definitely a pleasure to look at these pictures. I'd be ecstatic.
-
Congrats that's an awesome box :).
-
What a great box!!!!
Major Congrats!!
-
:shocked: These are great boxes! Wow, Shen! Oh my gosh! The cookies and art..just wow. Whoever said it is right, you set the bar high. What a fantastic start to brags. :yippee:
-
Shenanigans, that is an AMAZING box! I'm suddenly hoping the box I put together for my partner is nice enough, hehe
-
Thanks, guys! :grouphug:
Daiyuflower, I bet your box will be amazing!! Just like everyone's will be :D
-
Great boxes, guys!
-
Aww, I'm so glad ^.^ I'm glad I picked out the right candy as well! You were a pleasure to shop for :happy: I'm touched you remembered that I like yellow ponies with pink hair! ^.^ I couldn't find the codes on the blind bags anymore, so I randomly picked up one and bought it and it was Pepperdance! Exactly the one I was looking for :D I'm really glad you liked all my home made things :hug: It was so fun making them all!
Aw, guys, thanks! :blush: I did go a bit overboard, but I just couldn't help it.. it being my first swap and all :lol: :blush: I can't wait to see everyone else's too!!
What luck to get Pepperdance on a random pick! She is my very favorite! I might even take her to work with me, in which case she will be my only pony at work. She sure is going to give me smiles every day!
All of the gummy peaches are gone now and I am breaking into the jellybeans next. I'm still saving the cookies because I need to take pictures of them first. I've been cleaning up all weekend and all my surfaces clutter on them so once I've cleared them up it will be picture time! The clutter is just driving me crazy and it makes me feel like I can't do anything else until it's done and my table is clear again. Maybe I should sample the broken one. Hee hee!
My cat loves his toy. I took pictures of him playing with it which I will post tomorrow. He tried to tear the body off from the tentacles!

Okay finally gave into the temptation of the cookies!! Yum! Just how I like them!
-
Wow, these are amazing boxes so far! So much care and love put into them! Great way to start us off:)
-
I'm so pleased that you loved everything I picked out ^.^ I'm especially happy you liked the cookies! :D
Hey, Michelle! :hug: Can't wait for more boxes! *camps out*
-
Having read these brags before mailing my box, I'm thinking I need to add a lot more! Such a high bar to match! :) :D
Congrats on your amazing swap boxes so far! :)
-
Wow, what a beautiful package, Shenanigans! Everything looks so cute and coordinated, and frankly it inspired me as I'm finishing up mine!
-
*waits for the new brags to be posted*

Alright, after some connection issues! I'm finally able to brag!

Thank you thank thank you! The ponies are gorgeous and I love the theme! I loved it in the teaser, too! You were worried I wouldn't be happy with Star Dancer's forelock trim but she's still lovely! What an awesome theme! And now the dilemma....open the MIBs or keep them as is? I think Skyflier will stay put and gorgeous, but I might just have to free Sunny and give a brushing! So pretty. Thanks for the best swap box ever!
Post Merge: September 18, 2012, 05:23:01 PM
Oops! Forgot to mention the stars! There is a pack not used in decorating the box! I'm going to use them to decorate the babies' room after or move in November! They'll love seeing them! Maybe a few in my room, too!
-
I'm so glad you're happy Lynx. :hug:
It's my first time doing a swap, so I was a bit worried the box wouldn't be lovely enough. I did have a great time shopping for you though, and people on the Arena were awesome. I was able to find almost all your things from other members which was great. I'm also really happy that you still like Star Dancer. I was afraid of putting her in the box at first, but the rest of her hair was just so lovely. I know my own childhood Star Dancer's hair is no way that soft. :lol: I'm glad they all made it to their home safely, and you're enjoying them.
It's fun buying stuff for someone because even though I didn't talk to you about your stuff I feel like I got to know a little more about someone on the Arena. Thanks for making it fun. :lovey: :lovey:
Oh also in the bag with the stars I put the sticky packet for the stars tapped to the box. I figured if you wanted to save those (or not either way) you could still use the sticky tack and have two packs that way. ^.^
-
It's a wonderful box! I hope my list wasn't too difficult and I didn't sound too dauntingly picky on my questionnaire! I found the sticky tack! I'm going to enjoy the box as is until after the move. Then I'll grab the stars from the box. Wanna linger over it s bit. It's my first swap box in around two years or so!
Also, anyone else do this, I like to go back and read all the posts by my partner and get to know them after they send me their box so I can get to know them, too! I love getting to know people in swaps! :hug: :grouphug: :pillow:
:tackleglomp: Thanks again Madhatterda! :lovey:
-
Wow, great box Maddie. Looks like you got a ton of goodies RedLynx. :hug::hug: I loved this swap so much.
-
Stunning box Maddie!!! What a wonderful bunch of treats and ponies! Whew, there are some big boxes going on in this swap.
-
Sorry that it has taken me so long to post my brag. Image hosting sites and I do not get along well, lol. I think I have finally managed to figure this out, so without further ado...
... my amazing swap box from the lovely mercynova!!! ^.^
First, the box itself (pay no attention to the foot behind the curtain, lol):

The cutest little MLP hair comb (did you make this, mercynova?) and a Sparkleworks toothbrush for my wee girl:

Not only is my partner thoughtful, she's practical, too! She included a box of magic erasers for pony cleaning, and also some fancy-shmancy graded pencils to encourage my artsy side:

This particular picture makes me grin from ear to ear, it's just so colourful!! I'm loving the FiM colouring book (with more stickers, yay!!) and the cool double-sided Crayola Twistables. As for the Crayola ribbon, I don't know why, but it makes me ridiculously happy:

Let me tell you all how amazing these treats are. Not only did mercynova include some of my favourite American goodies, but she had to order it special since she lives in England traveled all the way to New York to get it! ;) This extra-sweet gesture means so much to me and I was nearly in tears over her thoughtfulness.

Great box!!! LOL and your flailing is so cute.

I love that star theme and the sparkly ponies. What a great idea for the box.
I also love the mix and match wrapping! And the flailing is totally wonderful.
-
RedLynx, your box from Mad is super fun, and the ponies look so spacey! :P
Up, Up, and Away, past the clouds, past the sun, and finally... zoom... into outer space they go!! Wheeeee!!!! Well done, Mad. Looks like you had nothing to worry about. ;)
-
Aww, what a wonderful box! I am loving that Cascade. Such a pretty pony. :)
-
Lucky—you got Hatter’s space box! XD XD What a cool package! Loads of ponies. XD And Spaaaarkle ponies!
Lochness’s package is great too! I love how that one poy is wrapped…with the printed pony right on top in perfect form.
Toothbrush! LOL!
Skyrocket and Cascade! : D
And a flail! LOL
What a great two boxes! Now I can’t wait to send and get mine!!
-
What amazing boxes!!! :faint:
First, Maddie's beautiful space themed box! The idea to decorate is so genious, then to have matching wrapping paper and then sparkle ponies that look like stars :D So many beautiful ponies!! Sunny Rays is a complete stunner :lovey: Great job, Maddie! Wonderful, thoughtful box :D
Mercy's box, wow! So many thoughtful extras and beautiful ponies! :D The art supplies look like fun and I'm totally drooling over that Cascade XD That Applejack bow is the cutest thing EVER and I totally need one now *grabby hands* All the yummy candy and imported, how thoughtful ^.^ I love the flail, Lochness! :lol: (I love your shirt too and you're very pretty!)
These boxes were so full of thoughtfullness and love, I just love seeing them! :frolic: Two more amazing boxes for two amazing people, you guys are all just so awesome *loves this swap* :grouphug*

Cascade and MIB ponies in swap boxes just wowowowowowo - congrats on your great swaps lochness and redlynx and awesome congrats for putting them together to mercy and maddie...I am continuing to be gobsmacked by this swap :)
-
Cascade really was a wonderful and unexpected surprise... my jaw dropped when I unwrapped her. But it's tough to pick a favourite, as I love everything so much. I love how rainbow-y the contents of my box are. ^.^ What an incredible first swap experience! Merci, mercy!!
:happy:
-
OMG!!
Both boxes are absolutely fantastic!!!
Look at all these ponies and extra goodies!!
Major Congrats!!!!
-
Whee XD Lochness, you are such a sweetie, great flail!
Confession time... the candy was imported.... but personally be me when I went to NYC for a week :D Alongside the AJ family set and the sticker book! Those Butterfingers look really good, I was quite tempted to munch them myself after all that XD
The little hair comb was made by the lovely Jemofiriongate. I bought a few from her to include in swaps and they have been a big hit every time so far :D I hope she's selling some more at the Ponycon, I think they're adorable.
I am so glad you like everything!
RedLynx, I love that box, you're very lucky. It's really cool that the theme even extends to the ponies, so thoughtful!

Whee XD Lochness, you are such a sweetie, great flail!
Confession time... the candy was imported.... but personally be me when I went to NYC for a week :D Alongside the AJ family set and the sticker book! Those Butterfingers look really good, I was quite tempted to munch them myself after all that XD
The little hair comb was made by the lovely Jemofiriongate. I bought a few from her to include in swaps and they have been a big hit every time so far :D I hope she's selling some more at the Ponycon, I think they're adorable.
I am so glad you like everything!
RedLynx, I love that box, you're very lucky. It's really cool that the theme even extends to the ponies, so thoughtful!
LOL!!! That's right!!! You did mention in the swap thread some time ago that you were going to New York, but of course I had no idea I was your partner back then. ;) To be honest, it actually makes it even more special that you were thinking of and shopping for me while on holiday. You're the best, I really can't thank you enough. Everything is perfect.
:tackleglomp:
Oh, and I didn't mention it in my brag, but I'm actually really thrilled about the toothbrush. :lol: Last week my daughter had her last set of jabs for a while, and when we left we were given a bag with some baby supplies, one of which was a boring yellow toothbrush. I immediately re-purposed it for pony cleaning, and said to myself, "Marion needs a FUN toothbrush, not a boring yellow one." So you totally read my mind! :P
-
Ah! I totally missed hatter's box! That is such a cool idea! If you have a bunch of glow in the dark ponies and you put them in there, they would look so cool in a dark room!
What great boxes everyone! :)
-
WOW! Totally thoughtful and awesome swap boxes!
-
Lochness’s package is great too! I love how that one poy is wrapped…with the printed pony right on top in perfect form.
I know! That totally cracked me up. :lol:
-
wonderful brags!! great job so far!

All these boxes are so awesome! Even my cat thought so XD
It's so amazing how much thought everyone has put into their box, everyone is so amazing <3 I love seeing new brags, but it's making me sad, knowing that it's getting closer to the end

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I still have my partner's box to send out (waiting on ONE more thing, grrrr...) so that is something to look forward to yet, but it is definitely bittersweet to see the boxes rolling in. I don't regret joining this swap, though. It has been amazing on so many levels.
:happy:
-
Im now waiting on one more thing to arrive now too. So I am glad someone else is waiting. It should have been here on Monday because it was sent last week within the same state. I think the post office is playing with it.
Plus I decided to try to make something. Not sure if it will come out.

:shifty eyes: :looking for Prince's box so I can nom his ponies:

I finally got around to bragging. My box is from silverskimmer and it seriously was awesome. I apologize for my cat photo bombing almost all the photos . My mum helped me open everything and :cry: :biggrin: :lol: was my reaction. Everything was perfect.

I got my box the other day! I was having a really stressful day and the box was just the right thing to pull my mood around.
My partner was Buddafly, and she absolutely SPOILED me rotten! I am so thrilled with all the goodies and extras that it's overwhelming!
Buddafly thank you so much! I know you don't think the ponies were in good condition, but I think they are perfect! No need to upgrade them!

Wow look at all these ponies :D Two great swap boxes!
And FMA manga! I'm sure you will love it Prince, it's one of the best!
-
WOW!!!! Buddafly and Silverskimmer what fantastic boxes...
Congrats Mermaid and Prince...I love how appropriate the boxes have been to each of us so far - :squee:
-
Wow what a great box Mermaid :dance: It's nice to be reunited with your childhood ponies ^.^ Great box Buddafly!
-
OMG Mermaid - what a great box!! I was like "another goody..one more..one more...a pony..second pony.. another pony... where is the end?" when I watch your brag. :P :P
Absolutely cool box!!
Great job Buddafly!!
-
OMG Mermaid - what a great box!! I was like "another goody..one more..one more...a pony..second pony.. another pony... where is the end?" when I watch your brag. :P :P
Absolutely cool box!!
Great job Buddafly!!
LOL, I felt the same as Sternenstaub. Another pony? and another? and another? Mermaid, you were totally bombarded with ponies! Strawberry Surprise (aka. Strawberry Milk, love it!) is a really great pony -- love her scent! And how sweet of Buddafly to include all those awesome extras for your dog.
Prince, your box is awesome, too!! Am in awe over Nectar and the custom!! I'd love to see more pics of that. Very cool that you got Roary from Moondreamers as well, how thoughtful.
And the candy in BOTH boxes looks so good. Well done, Buddafly and silverskimmer -- you've made your partners very happy indeed. :biggrin:
Seriously, though, there are some great boxes coming in, and like hathorcat said, they all seem to be the perfect match for their intended recipients. For example, I think all the boxes have been GREAT and there are things from each that I would have been thrilled to receive (Shenanigan's cookies, anyone? :P), but out of all the brags so far, I think mine is the best. ^.^ Which is how it should be.
:good:
-
These are fantastic! Everyone is so creative with the boxes. You are inspiring me to add some decorations to mine.
I love the water colored cards. Very nice touch! And a custom! Oh I want to see another picture of it. :)
Crystal trees are awesome and a childhood favorite of mine! It is cool someone thought to add them to your package. I still get them now and then to grow and enjoy. Eventually I bump into them and all the crystals fall off and then I keep an eye out for another. You will love it! Yours looks particularly colorful too! The ones I have right now are just pink.
Strawberry Milk is a good name for her. I don't know what I called her (she's one of my older ponies too), but I like the name much better than strawberry surprise. Plus the image and sound of strawberry milk is very very yum.
-
Beautiful boxes!!!! This swap gets more amazing by the minute:)
-
Wow, awesome boxes! I love those wings on the flutter pony :)
-
Wow, what a great mob of goodies! lol And I like Strawberry Milk better too.
-
Wanted to show how much my cat likes his jellyfish:

yay! I'm so glad you liked your stuff :) the first pony's name is strawberry surprise lol... I was hoping I was correct in my guess that strawberry milk was the same. not many ponies out there with strawberries on them ;)
my husband was laughing at me as I hotglued those stars on. I burned myself so many times ;) all in good fun, though!
that's cool that you collect postcards! I just thought they'd be fun to add since I was in old town, alexandria, which is nearby where I live. a little local flavor, so to speak :)
it was kinda subtle, but there was a small theme with 2 of the ponies. butterflies... buddafly... get it? eh? ;) (primrose and flutterbye)
had a lot of fun putting everything together, and I'm glad you think the ponies are perfect :D *hugs*
-
Oh my... what awesome boxes! :faint:
I just love those drawings, Silverskimmer! And that you got Prince his childhood Moondreamer toy, awww ^.^ I just love people being reunited with their childhood favorites :) Baby Nectar is adorable and all the Fluttershys are so pretty!! You put together a super awesome box :D
Mermaid, I totally want to steal that notepad and pen!!! :lol: The crystal tree looks so fun, I've never had one :) All the treats for your doggy, aw! Those gorgeous wings and of course the ponies! Being reunited with childhood ponies is the BEST ^.^ I love Strawberry Milk much more than Strawberry Surprise, I think I'll call her that from now on :D There's so many things in that box I love, are you sure it wasn't supposed to be mine? :lol: Awesome job, Buddafly!!! :happy:
The boxes keep getting better and better! OMG, I wonder what mine will look like? :D

I am posting my brag tonight. I am going to say that I am still in complete and utter shock at the box I received from RedLynx. It's nothing short of amazing, and you will see what I mean when you see these pictures.
Some pics were taken inside, some were taken outside for better lighting. I wanted the pictures to do this box justice. It deserves it.
First, let's see the size of the box. It's comparable to the Titanic.

I don't know how that wrapping paper stayed so nice, but it came in perfect shape. What a creative idea! It's encased in Hello Kitty goodness.
This is what I see upon opening the box.

Okay, and the two pics below are all the gifts outside the box minus one thing that I have a pic of down the line.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login
There was SO much stuff that I couldn't fit it all into one picture. I couldn't believe how much stuff I was pulling out of this box. My mom was there just watching in just as much shock as I was.
So I'm gonna break what was inside into photo sections.
Firstly, RedLynx, I am glad you payed attention to how much I love Chihuahuas. The Chi on this notebook and folder set is SUPER CUTE! OMG! Look at that face!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
And lookie! Little Barbie Chis! I'm gonna let them chill out with my G4s. Aren't they cute??

She also gave me some Sailor Moon stuff! That little wand clip is going right on my purse!

Here are some other random goodies!

I have been wanting some of those G4 sticky notes forever! I couldn't find them in my area at all.
The magnet is SO going on my car. I have lots of magnets/bumper stickers on the back of my PT Cruiser. I like to deck it out.
I teasingly asked my dad if he wanted heart-shaped sammiches for work, but he said no. :P
Chibimaru stuff! If you all couldn't tell, I LOVE Chibimaru!

Snackies and random goodies! The Twilight Sparkle mini plush is one I need, too. :)

And lookie! A Hello Kitty bag full of candy and more HK stuff!

Yep, I'm gonna have a lot of snacks for work. I'm on night shift temporarily. I need sugar highs to keep me awake. This stuff is like fuel for me. :D
She also made me these DELICIOUS homemade butterscotch cookies. My mom and I have already been tearing into them. Dang, we need to make these. They are so tasty, RedLynx!

Here is some G3/4 stuff! I have NONE of these so these are all great additions to my merchandise collection! I love bath sets in general.

STARFLOWER!
She and Pinwheel are my two favorites from the set. I love their poses and their colors. This Starflower is just stunning. Lovely colors, in great shape....she's just beautiful!
A HUGE heartfelt thank you goes out to RedLynx for this one! Isn't she awesome?!
I feel like I am one LUCKY pony!
-
What an amazing box! I'm blown away! You are one lucky swap partner! :D
I'm definitely making some homemade baked goods for my next swap.

The ponies are awesome, especially Starflower! Such a beauty! She's on my wish list too, lol :D Super awesome box!!
I can imagine this cheered you right up, Dazzle :hug:
-
Beautiful box. I love how every box has been so different and suited to the person it went to. I hope I did as good of a job for my partner.
-
That looks like so much fun.
-
Wow, DazzleKitty!! You are one Lucky Pony indeed. ;) I think RedLynx was born with a "spoil people rotten" gene. ^.^
What cute chihuahua stuff! And the butterscotch cookies! Umm... recipe?? :yummy:

Blimey RedLynx, what a star! That box just went on and on and on! And I agree, those cookies look super tasty. You are very lucky Dazzlekitty :D
It really does make my day when I can come into this thread and see new brag posts. I will be very sad to see the end of this swap.
-
Congrats DazzleKitty!! What a lovely box full of ponies and goodies!!
-
soooo coool I will have to do a swap one day
This is my first swap (on the arena or otherwise) and it has been absolutely incredible. I loved the box my partner sent, and I hope my partner feels the same way when he/she receives my box (which will be going out tomorrow). After partaking in this swap, I would recommend it to anyone. ^.^
P.S. Thanks for the recipe, RedLynx! Can't wait to try them out. :dribble:

Wow what a fantastic box cubby :hug: Congrats egyptiondragon!!
-
Hey! Glad you like!! The Barnacle, I got from lochnessmomster. It was the pony I had difficulty GETTING! It's the old "it's everywhere until you need it for a swap" thing. lol
The wand was fun to make. Great for costumes or display. XD And now I shall open my package and add on to the brag!
-
Oh Cubby!!!! Wow!!!! I am so in love with that box - I have been so excited to see everything that went into and I am completely awed! Awesome...what a great box for you egyption!
-
Thanks, guys! It was a LOT of fun to find things to work into the story. THe story was about egyption waking up to find the world was made totally creepy...she met ponies and saw creepy things along the way. But it was all just a pony trying to work a spell for endless chocolate. XD Egyption...did that music box arrive with the horns intact? I tried as best I could to brace and cushion them. D: If not I hope you found the piece/s so you can fix it. Damn porcelain.
OK My brag!
Okay first of all...terabithianrince was my partner. And dude, you spoiled the HELL out of me! You freakin' rock thanks so much!! I love all of it! I also got a storybook to go with my ponies. XD In fact it was a lot like my story. We really MUST be sharing a brain!!!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
We start with a baby pony sailing on the sea...Baby Explorer, of course! But a storm hits, and she crashes on a deserted island with only a book (Vintage ThunderCAts Coloring Book!!!! : D : D ), a couple of blind bags, a notebook (Rainbow Brite!!), some fishing bait (a custom bait LOL!! That made me grin a lot), and some fishing line (dollyhair). But that's not all. A second baby also crashed while looking for her friend....despite the fact she was told baby ponies shouldn't sail by themselves! She was newborn yo-yo! (She is freaking adorable.)
An adult pony was riding a flying saucer and also crashed in the storm. (Napper! In freaking GORGEOUS condition!) Luckily she was unhurt, and joined the baby ponies. But they met a ferocious beast! (A cute, goofy hyena...who had a smiley face on his package. Ferocious indeed! LOL) There were yet three more ponies who were already on the island...two Sunhine Ponies and a Tropical Pony of course, and they chased off the hyena! (Beach Ball, Wave Runner, and Hula Hula.)
But help was in the making! Two young pilots were looking for them in a helicopter...Baby Drummer and Baby Whirly Twirl!!!!!! (My first Little Brother ponies! They're freaking ADORABLE! I love these guys! One even has his bandanna!) And so the ponies finally got to their destination. (My house. XD) I also got an extra newborn--one of the (German?) Bedtime Newborn Moondream. (Another adorable pony!! And isn't she considered a Nirvana?)
I also got Neon Nerds. I like neon, and Prince found a way to even give me neon snacks. LOL! Neon snacks, neon dollyhair (my favorite color), and even a neon pony. Many thanks, good sir, you truly are a prince!!
Pic! (Don't you love the treasure map? XD ) Another swap where I got a lot of firsts. I love 'em!

-
Hehe, I got my swap box! :straw: :banana: :broc: :cuke:
Thank you so much Egyptian Dragon!
It was actually a really great day to get it, because I've still been so very sick. This has been more or less my first day back to work really in a week, and it was rough. It was not a good day, so expect my joy at getting my swap box! ^.^ Sorry for the pictures not being totally awesome. I have to use my phone to take them.
Opening my box here.

One of the first things I opened was the Cheshire cat, and he made me squeal with joy. I thought HT's outfit was adorable! I loved Parasol and Tiffany (been wanting Tiff for a while). Masquerade made me smile. I love the amount of effort you put into making each pony fit a specific character from Alice. Thank you so much dear for paying attention to the things I like and making an awesome box for me.
:tackleglomp:
Also guys, these are so beautiful boxes I'm seeing. :lovey:

Wooooow guys! Such super awesome boxes and gorgeous ponies! Three brags today! :faint: Everyone got such wonderful things, I loved the little stories! :D That custom is awesome, Cub! Baby Yo-Yo is sooo cute ^.^ And Maddie got one of my favorite Princess ponies, she's gorgeous :D I'm loving that sweet little cape Heart Throb is wearing!!
Great boxes, everyone!

Nonsense. I think your box had a lot of thought put into it. It was really creative to match the ponies with Wonderland characters. When I told my wife she started guessing which one was which. It was really neat. ^.^
-
Egyptian, your box for Maddie is excellent! Princess Tiffany looks to be in gorgeous condition. I might snag those Skittles from ya Mads.....you won't miss them right???
-
I'm totally overwhelmed by all the awesomeness and thoughtfulness. The senders have been generous and the receivers have been grateful. I've said it before and I'll say it again... what an amazing swap experience this has been! Being my first one, I can't compare it to others, but I've got a sneaking suspicion that our group is a rare and special one.
So, wow... I have been waiting and waiting for more brags, and there are three in quick succession!
Okay, so first there is egyptiondragon's box from hyenacub. Ummm, are those My Little Pony fruit snacks??! Also, did you make that custom yourself? I love the hair. Tell me more about the symbol on her hip. The decorations and stickers are super cute (and I don't even like Halloween), and I totally used to have that Scary Stories book, lol. Creeped me out then and probably still would. Although, if I recall, some of the stories are funny, right... isn't The Viper in there? I think what intrigues me the most is that wand... I've never seen one like it! What's it made from? Did you make that, too, cub?
Now onto hyenacub's box from prince. Firstly, that story is awesome! Pony bait for fishing bait, and dollyhair for fishing line... how clever!! Am loving all the neon. I had no clue there was such a thing as neon Nerds. They would be fun to try sometime. :)
Lastly, madhatterda's box from egyptiondragon (notice this crazy circle here??). An Alice in Wonderland theme?? How crazy cool!! I'm not so great at guessing games, but is Heart Throb the Red Queen? Is Princess Tiffany the White Queen? Who are Masquerade and Parasol supposed to be? The Mad Hatter and Alice? Oh, do tell!! What a great box. Also, did you make the Cheshire Cat, egyptiondragon?
Three more fantastic boxes -- woo-hoo! Well done, everyone! You are all so :cool:.
-
i found the Cheshire cat at target a week be fore i shipped out :)

What luck that you found Cheshire to include in your box! Also, I can't believe I correctly matched each pony with their Alice character... go, me!!
:woot:
-
great boxes!!! everything looks like so much fun :)
-
i know frist i saw a simba and a Marie from The Aristocats plushies and i thoug maybe they have a cheshire and sure enugh there he was in box of Disney plushies i grabbed the last one
-
This has been a really wondeful swap! I enjoyed doing this with ya'll. I think this is the best swap I've been in so far at the Arena. I hope we can all participate again sometime. :) Of course I have the Halloween and Advent Calendar one to shop for. I'm struggling with the Halloween one but am having super amazing luck with the Advent one.
-
Egyption :nodnod: Yes, if I remember right, you turn the entire base to wind it up, clockwise. It plays Impossible Dream from Don Quixote. C: C:
Another brag!! Awesome!
Aw man, hatter! You need to see a doctor!! Stupid sickness. >P
I think there’s something wrong with the pony in the middle. O_o It’s kinda big and striped… XD I love the huge grin.
Oo Masqurade! That’s a niiiice pony. She’s the one who made me like the Twinkle Eyeds. XD So for we who are Alice-challenged…aside from the obvious royal pony, who matches up with whom? (Never mind. My guess about the white pony was wrong, and loch ness got them right, LOL)
Shenanigans, thanks…that pony was fun to work on, and that dragon/serpent/snake picture was too cool not to use on her.
Loch Ness, yes, they are fruit snacks! Lol I love fruit snacks (I almost wrote fruit SNAKES sheesh.) I did make the custom, yes! From what I can tell, that is a picture of a snake/dragon god in Egyptian mythology. Yes, the viper story is in one of those books. LOL That was my favorite to tell when I was a kid. I did make the wand, yes. I made a very simple one for my Harry Potter costume once and thought they’d mnake good gifts for others. I used exacto knives to carve it out of a piece of dowel. C: Then I sealed and varnished it.
I didn’t know there were neon nerds, either lol They taste good, too. I’ve been nomming them.
I add my opinion that this IS the best swap I’ve been in! Totally so much fun, you guys. I’ve enjoyed seeing others’ brags almost as much as my partner’s and my own. XD
-
awesome boxes, everyone did such a great job personalising them all!
-
Egyptian;s Box: Oh the skull box has arrived! I've been wondering what was in there. I like the idea of the story too. Very creative. Beautiful ponies. Your custom has the coolest hair and neatest snake design. I haven't ever seen anything like it.
Cub's Box: Napper! I am starting to fall for those sparkly ponies. Napper is beautiful! I love that the treasure map looks like a pony. Nice idea! Such a cute set of shipwrecked ponies! Those babies ought not to sail alone!
Madha's Box: That is one spectacularly awesome Cheshire cat. Look at that grin! And Princess Tiffany! She was one of my childhood favorites that I was never allowed to get. I still think she is very special. I love the Alice theme of the ponies!
-
Wow. Those are extraordinarily wonderful swap boxes. I love the themes and the herds of ponies in every box. I'm impressed and *super* happy for the recipients! :D
-
Cub, the fruit snacks are so awesome. I don't know why I get excited about fruit snacks that replicate my favourite childhood toys or characters from cartoons I like. Also, wowowow re: the wand. You are so clever/resourceful/talented. :cool:
Cub's Box: Napper! I am starting to fall for those sparkly ponies. Napper is beautiful! I love that the treasure map looks like a pony. Nice idea! Such a cute set of shipwrecked ponies! Those babies ought not to sail alone!
Prince, I didn't notice the island was shaped like a pony! That is beyond cool.
-
OMGosh!!!! What awesome brags!! I hope my partner won't be disappointed!
-
All of these boxes are beautiful :) I love you guys!

Your box is amazing, too, CuteyBina! Way to go, songtoisis!! Are those cake sprinkles? All the Hello Kitty stuff is so cool, and those look like super minty ponies. My jaw dropped at seeing Baby Racer, wow!!

They are bath salts. My next door neighborbooth at Pony Fair had G1-inspired essential-oil based perfumes, bubble bath, and bath salts. Here's a closer picture--I love how she found (and in some cases made) sprinkles for each of the ponies' cutie marks. :D

Very neat and a cute idea! And now that I know what they are I know they must smell wonderful. I remember that booth!

They do! I spent a lot of time testing and sniffing them all throughout Pony Fair--since there were little tester vials of everything. They're pretty fantastic. Cotton Candy is a total sugar shock. :D I don't know what Snuzzle was, in terms of scent notes, but it was one of my favorites. :)
-
They are bath salts. My next door neighborbooth at Pony Fair had G1-inspired essential-oil based perfumes, bubble bath, and bath salts.
No way!!! Those are the coolest ever! Does she still sell them? :hope:

Yes, I think she does. They aren't listed on her shop, but you can email her through it to find out what she has left. :)

Wow, you guys. These brags are amazing!
-
Those bath salts are so neat! I'm with Lochness, does she still sell them? :D EDIT- LOL, nevermind I saw Song's post XD
I apologize for pic spamming the thread, but there was so much awesome stuff in my swap box that I had to take a lot of pictures! :D My box was from the lovely and talented Marigold! She is super sweet, super thoughtful, and super talented! She is a pleasure to talk to and the box she sent was bursting with love and care and full of everything I love! She knows me better than most of my family members and friends do I think :lol: So, on with the pics!
I had an LOL moment when I realized she sent me the same box I sent her :lol: It had cute cupcake stickers all over and this is what I saw when I opened it! I squealed when I saw all the prettiness and sparkles and cupcakes! My favorite things :D
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Here are the beautiful things she made (I love getting hand made stuff!) An ADORABLE Mimic plushie, I just LOVE her!! She even has spirals around her horn and I love her little parrot symbol ^.^ Marigold, she is so sweet! She also drew a picture of a yellow unicorn with pink hair (my fave!!) with a giant cupcake! She made a precious cupcake plush and it has a real cupcake paper on it, how freaking adorable!! I love cupcakes, hehehe. She also drew me a picture of Shenanigans in her hot air balloon which I LOVE and will treasure all of these things! And see those tiny things? Marigold hand painted these precious little magnets with little flowers on them! Is she talented or what?!

She also sent me a G1 coloring book!! Ah! *flails!* I always wanted one! And I don't mind if it's colored in at all :D I enjoyed reading all your little notes in the coloring book and all the packages ^.^ And lookitlookit! She MADE a coloring book for me! I had to take pics of each page, I just love them! Especially the carousel pony with the doggy symbol!!! And we both just adore sea ponies, aren't they fab? This is one of my favorite things for sure :lovey:

She sent this cuuuuuute Pinkie bag (that I'm pretty sure she made!) and I was tickled when I saw it ^.^ I should take it shopping with me when I go down the pony aisle so I can rake all the Blind Bags into it :lol:

There was a beautiful box with flowers on it (forgot to get a pic of that!) But inside of it reminded me of a candy box that you get on Valentine's day, only filled with cupcakes! They had cute little sparkly heart charms on them and I hated to tear into them, they were so cute! But I'm glad she made me one to save :D
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
They had different things inside like these beautiful pink gems and a beautiful prism to hang in my window! She knew just what I'd love :heart: And more cupcakes! Giant cupcake sticker, cupcake party picks, and a cupcake coin purse! Can you tell I love cupcakes? :lookround: I made sure to save all the little charms too :heart:

She sent me these fun extras - I especially love the marigol egg, from Marigold!!! I've never seen one before, but you crack the egg open, water it and you grow marigolds!! I can't wait to have my own beautiful flowers, thank you!! I will think of you every time I look at them :D We both love Rapunzel and she sent me an adorable Squinkie Rapunzel bracelet! Aww, I love it! And a Disney Princess scratch and design, I can't wait to try it out :D I've never heard of Squirmles before, but they look neat! I can't wait to dig into all of my extras! There was an eyeball ornament which got a "WTF-LOL" expression from me ('scuse the language, but it's what best describes XD ) Marigold, it will have a place of honor on my Christmas tree and I will LOL every time I see it! :lol: It's a good conversation piece (since I haven't mostly Barbies, Disney Princess, etc on the tree) and I'll get to tell everyone who asks all about my sweet partner ^.^ And I love the beautiful shells and stones you gave me from your collection! And you can't see it real well, but there's a little glass unicorn in the package at the bottom! I love me some unicorns :D

More extras! I'm telling you, I was spoiled :P Stickers of my favorite things (I especially love the puppy ones!) A sweet Disney Princess book, and some little growing animals for my sister and I to have fun with ^.^ I think my nephew will enjoy them too!

A Rapunzel tin purse!! Cute eh? But is there something in it?

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy! I thought this was a super cute way to send them, they remind me of my chihuahua when I stick her in a purse :D I've got so many new things for my Rapunzel shelf too!

I was downright giddy when I opened up all this beautiful jewelry!! Bangles from India, they are super pretty!! A gorgeous stretch bracelet, and a necklace of my birthstone! We were talking about alexandrite in the thread waaaaay back :D I_LOVE_IT! And a simply stunning swarovski and sterling bracelet made especially for me by her mother in law! I loooove swarovski and this bracelet... wow!! I love it, thankyouthankyou!

OMG, Port-O-Bella!!! I was jumping up and down when I opened her!!! I sold mine around the beginning of this year and kicked myself for it ever since then! I missed her so much and now I have her again! (She has her hat too, but I forgot to put it on her :P ) I should have seen this one coming, since you like mushrooms, hehe! She will always remind me of you :D

Marshmellow Coco!!! I wanted her for a while, but after seeing the gorgeous pics of her during the Arena Derby I REALLY wanted! Her colors are just beautiful and she makes me think of cozy winters, sitting with family and drinking hot cocoa ^.^

Look, Cat, I finally got a Baby Fifi! And a Mommy Fifi too!!! :lovey: Aren't they too adorable? I have to finish deflocking Mommy, I think you did a good job so far :D Deflocking is tough! I'm so happy I got Mommy and Baby, they're so sweet :lovey:
I thought surely that was all, so many beautiful ponies and extras! And then I opened...

BABY CRUMPET! OMG! My sister and I had to pick our jaws up off the floor! :lol: I never expected her, I love her! Such a pretty yellow!
There was a package that said, "open last" and I had no idea what it could be because I already had a ton of extras and a ton of ponies! What could it be?
......

BABY LUCKY LEAF!!!!!!! :faint: :faint: :faint: My baby pony grail!!!

I was so surprised, Crumpet AND Lucky Leaf?!? Ahhh, pony heaven! :faint:

Thank you SO MUCH, Marigold! You gave me the most awesome first swap experience! I am blown away by everything you sent me and I love absolutely everything :tackleglomp: You're so thoughtful, sweet, and kind! Everything fits me perfectly! I am so happy we had each other as swap partners :D
-
Wow.
Incredible swaps! I love haunting this thread. Marigold--I can't believe all the beautiful ponies you included. What a generous, beautiful swap! :D
-
Congrats Shen! Marigold, you put together an amazing box :hug: :hug:
-
Wow! I'm just loving seeing all those pics!
I really love that cupcake themed box. It's so cute.
-
What an awesome box!!
-
WOW Shenanigans - what a pretty box full of goodies and ponies!!
Baby Crumpet and Baby Leafy!! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
Congrats!!
-
What was our spending minimum again??? :shocked: I overspent for my partner, too, but wowowowowow.... You two were well-matched. You spoiled each other to the moon and back, and you are both so incredibly talented artistically. As awesome and jaw-dropping as all the ponies have been, I think it's the art and handmade goodies that blow me away the most. It's nice to see the friendships that have been forged because of this swap. I only hope I'll be able to do the same.
Also, songtoisis, thanks so much for the link to that girl's Etsy shop. I sent her a message, so here's hopin'!
-
These boxes are great! Man, I wish I wasn't allergic to scents! I want pony bath salts!
-
I am so guilty of going overboard, but you'd be surprised, I found really good deals on the ponies and the extras. Lucky Leaf was a steal really. It must have been really good timing. I did a lot of bargain hunting too and some things were "gifts to me to give to Shenanigans" from my Aunt who searches thrift shops for ponies and things for me. I knew Shenanigans was going to spoil her partner and I wanted to make sure she was just as spoiled. I had no idea I was going to be that person. :D And she was too easy to find things for. We had so much in common.
Shenanigan's: I did not make the tote bag. I got it at PonyFair but I think an arena member made it! I'm glad you like Mimic. I showed her to my husband and he said "what IS that thing?!". Of course you can debox! I thought I would leave the choice up to you. I love the pictures of your puppies in all the backgrounds. Very cute. Especially the ones with the popsicles and Mimic. Hee hee, sorry about the eyeball, I couldn't resist. I have a ton of eyeball ornaments and I love giving them out because they are odd, but pretty.
-
Wow Marigold, I though I packed my box full of goodies...it's nothing compared to yours!!!!! That is a crazy amazing box:). I am loving that handmade coloring book! Just spectacular!!
I'm waiting for m partner to post her brag:)
-
I will be posting my brag this evening...so excited still with everything [camera took ages and it was too dark for pics then]
Oh my goodness Marigold!!!!! What were you worried about that box is staggeringly amazingly wonderful fabulous!!!! All those extras and all the ponies [Baby Fifi in swap box = best swap box ever :P] Congrats Shen :faint:
-
Wow Shen and Marigold!! Amazing brags! Now I'm a little worried about my box....

No individual unboxing pictures from me sorry, I'm at home with a very nasty cold so I pretty much drained all my energy by fetching my box and unwrapping everything + taking these pics. Back to bed for me again! (But I took all the sweets with me!) :zzz:
-
Wow! TTT and Hopscotch! Awesome and I see a very cool G1 eraser there as well...congrats Trish and moonflower awesome box :)
-
Oh I love that mommy and baby set. And the G1 eraser! So cool! I must know how the marsh mallows are. They look good. Hopscotch is so pretty!
Please feel better!

You went above and beyond, I feel like the luckiest person in the whole swap :tackleglomp: I'm still just TOTALLY and COMPLETELY in awe! I have been toting around the babies, hehe. I'm so glad I got so many because I really don't have a whole lot of G1 babies! ^.^ Didn't Hathorcat match us up so perfectly? We like so many of the same things :D
Ooh, that's awesome! I wonder which Arena member made it :) LOL, I knew EXACTLY who she was when I unwrapped her! My mom and sister thought she was the cutest thing ever :) They are deboxed now and I will be doing their hair shortly :D I just love food themed ponys :biggrin: I'm wanting to make an army of fruit ponies so Green Apple is perfect for my apple clan! The eyeball makes me laugh, I'm glad you sent it! :D It's about as strange as a wind up sushi ;) I never expected such an amazing box! Cat is right, there was no need for you to worry because this box was beyond ANYTHING I could have EVER expected! I don't think I'd ever be lucky enough to get a swap box this nice again! :faint:
Lochness- I know!! The hand made stuff is so precious, I will treasure it :lovey: You can tell so much time and effort and love went into each and every thing :D
Trish- What an amazing box with gorgeous ponies!! I looove TTT and Baby TTT :D And that eraser is so cute!!!! Those treats look yummy too :dribble:

Wow, you got it so soon!! :biggrin:

@hotharcat:
I'm glad you like everything.
When I look at all the other brags I feel like my box looks so "poor".. :(
Majesty was the first pony I snapped for you. She's so beautiful that it was hard to let her go!!
I ended up with 4 spare Pina Coladas until I found the right one at the german pony con which was acceptable.
Also AJ was hard to let go she short hair version and I'm missing her myself in my Army. :) But I was happy to get her for you.
I hope the shirt fits?
If not I thought it's a nice addition for your Sundance Army.
Yeah for Snoopy!! But it isn't easy to get Snoopy stuff lately.
When I was younger it was much easier and I remember that I've had a lot of Snoppy stuff when I was a child...no idea where all the things are gone.
Enjoy your new additions!!
-
Congrats hathorcat :good: What a great box you put together, Stern. So many awesome boxes and people in this swap. ^^

Sorry for the brag delay . . . note to everyone: PhD programs are hell in terms of work load!
My box arrived from the lovely Michelle53! Boy, was I SPOILED!

Not pictured . . . a mouse toy for my Maine Coon. He ran away with it as soon as he got it! He put it in his toy area (yes, the cat puts his items in one place on purpose), so hopefully I'll have the camera ready for when he gets it out again.
Thank you! :hug:
-
Moonflower, I love the box you put together for Trish. Mommy and baby sets are always so sweet, and that looks like a very minty Hopscotch! What's on the bookmark? I love bookmarks. :) I love to "match" them to whatever book I'm currently reading. ^.^
Stern, what great items you chose for hathorcat! I'm a big fan of Snoopy as well, so I think the glass is awesome. I like the window. Does anyone else think that Snoopy looks a bit frightened by Majesty? :lol: Those are some lovely classics there, Applejack, Sparkler, and Majesty all look AMAZING. And I bet you tied all those gorgeous ribbons on their tails before sending them? I don't know what it is about something as simple as a satin ribbon, but it really adds a special touch. :) The shirt is very neat, too. But the pièce de résistance?? That gorgeous custom!! I love rainbow ponies, and that rainbow baby is absolutely to swoon for.
:enthralled:

Oh wow, Babushka posted her brag from Michelle while I was typing my comment. Yet again, I am in awe. Bonnie Bonnets? Tex? Nightglider?? <<faints just a little>> Loving the fall-themed extras, from the Yankee candles to the Craisins. :P And dollyhair? So awesome. Oh, and what beautiful hand-stitching!! That Nightglider is so intricate, wow! You guys are all amazing. I'm so excited to get my box out to my partner but the elusive item STILL hasn't shown up, and I will be gone for most of tomorrow so most likely it will arrive and I won't be here to receive it. >_<
But never mind all that. Well done, everyone!!!

So my partner was... *drum roll* Daiyuflower! My husband told me my package had come and I came home from work as quick as I could!

Thank you so, so much, Daiyuflower! I had a fantastic time opening everything! I am a very, very happy Ri. This is me right now:

I wore the shirt to work today [with a shawl as its cold here] so its perfect thank you!!!:)
Honestly the box is so suited to everything about me - I love it and honestly you have no idea how much the Snoopy glass, the custom and the AMAZING Majesty especially made me feel :) You knew the perfect things to send - thank you again! :hug:
-
Yay I'm so glad you like everything ^_^ I had so much fun shopping for you, Reanna! I was super excited that you're also a fellow Doctor Who fan, so I knew I had to include some figures after I had Cat ask you which Doctors you like.
I actually had a hard time with the ponies though, because I know how much you like scented ponies, so I tried my best to find ones in nice condition that were still scented. I'm afraid they're not still very strongly scented though, but I really tried >_<
I hope I didn't send you doubles of the blind bag ponies or the Dash plushie? I wanted to send a few along, but unfortunately in my area, we don't get a lot of blind bags or trading cards :-/
I'm so glad you liked the card! I'm so happy for you guys! Congrats again!
Do you think you could blur out my name and address in the photo though? Thanks!
-
Yay more brags!!!! Babushka, I had so much fun making those felt ponies for you:). My daughters gave me so much input, and told me that I should embroider the stars on Night Glider. I hope you like them:). I'm sorry about the age spots on Tex, I was SO disappointed when he finally arrived:(. I almost didn't send him.
You were such an awesome partner to shop for!! After I read how much you loved fall and leaves, I almost squeed out loud because I literally planned on a Fall theme for you from the start!!
Anywho! Hathorcat, your box from Stern is awesome!! Eeeeeeeee, so many amazing ponies!!!! Reanna, you deserved to be beyond spoiled:). This swap is just beyond belief!!!!!!!!!!
-
wow too much cool stuff to comment on here!
But must admit, I ADORE those felt bags, Michelle you did an awesome job on them, theyre gorgeous!!
-
Oops, sorry about that hon! >.<
-
Stern, there's nothing "poor" about your box!!! :) It looks amazing!! Look at all the extras and beautiful ponies :lovey: That Majesty.. :faint: So white and her hair looks very silky! The Baby Parasol looks amazingly perfect, she's adorable! And Dewdrop Dazzle BB *grabby hands* :dribble: It looks like the Snoopy glass was perfect, I think your box is stunning!
Babushka, that is an awesome box from Michelle! :faint: I spy FiM trading cards!!! :D I bet the candles smell wonderful :) I just love the fall theme Michelle did! And the ponies!! Look at that Fizzy! :dribble: The more I see of Nightglider, the more I want her :P And those gorgeous hand made bags!!!! Eeeee! Look at all the detail and I love that they're in their original poses! Bright Eyes even has her twinkle eye!! ^.^ Great job, Michelle!!
Reanna's box is just as lovely! All these beautiful swap boxes :faint: How sweet that Daiyuflower sent a wedding card! It looks like she got you the perfect Dr. Who figurines :D And that your kitties love their new toys! And those beautiful ponies :lovey: Sherbert's hair looks sooo silky and it's awesome they have a bit of scent left :D The Sweetberry ponies are beautiful and I loved that you gave them each a tail ribbon! Fantastic box!!
More and more awesomeness! :frolic:
-
I know! I keep running my fingers through Sherbet's hair-- it's so unbelievably silky! <3 They all seem to have a bit of scent, but Strawberry Surprise is the strongest. I love her so, so much! The creamy pink color, the cutenesss of the Crumpet pose, and the way her hair is tied up... she's so precious!
-
Yay more brags!!!! Babushka, I had so much fun making those felt ponies for you:).
You made those? I loved those. Neato
-
I love that baby Parasol! She really looks like she was made by Hasbro!!! Wow!!! The colors and shapes are perfect. How do you make them so identical to the original? I love that retro T-shirt too! Pina Colada and Majesty really are so pretty. Windy is gorgeous!
Fizzy and Bonnie Bonnets with the prettiest hair I have seen yet! I've been looking for Bonnie with nice hair and yours is the nicest I have seen. I think I am going to have to put TAF Night Glider on my wish list. I so want those felt bags. So creative and beautiful. Any chance we could get a close up of the ponies?
Doctor Who!!! I love Syd and Willie's pictures. So cute. Are they a handful? My two favorite Sweetberry ponies! Those are such pretty girls. Everyone's Big Brothers are starting to make me think I might like them. Never paid any attention to the boys before, but seeing everyone swap brothers is making me realize how awesome they are.
What great swap boxes!
-
These boxes are amazing!!!!! Customs! Big Brothers! Nightglider! Wow on the pony front! It's so fun to see the other goodies in the boxes...it's like a peek at who people are! It's been said a lot, but what a lovely and generous group of people. Lots of art and craft talent, too.

:good:

Oh wow I haven't posted in this brag for a bit. I wanted to say you guys are simply amazing! I adore seeing how much time and effort everyone has put into making their partners happy. I really will be truly sad when this swap is over,but excited to know next year we can do it again. :grouphug:
-
And remember, there will be swaps in between now and next year that many of us will join. :) At least the Arena keeps them coming!

Oh I know, and I've even joined several. I just feel like in this one we've talked a lot and really got to know each other...sadness to the ending. :cry:

So!
This is bound to run long. ;) I am the lucky recipient of a swap box from Jupiter. She did an amazing job and I got so many gifts in the swap box that I've found it impossible to photograph them all together! But I have *dozens* of photographs from my swap and that seems like it might break the thread here if I include every one of them. So, I'll do my best!
This is my first swap with the Arena. I'm hugely grateful for Hathorcat for arranging the swap itself and for bending the rules a bit to allow me, a relative unknown in the community, to participate. Everyone in the swap was supportive and gracious and awesome to me, too, so really--THANKS! You made my first swap a memorable one. Now on to the *gigantic* box of gifts I got from Jupiter!
(As an astrology buff, you know that Jupiter is known as the expansive planet. It is the planet of big acts of generosity and kindness and just--big blessings--so I think it was rather a perfect embodiment of her ponysona that I got so spoiled. :) )
I got home from a weekend trip out of town and found the box waiting for me. It was decorated, adorably, with G1 symbols.

The tissue paper resting on the top was similarly decorated and then, underneath that sheet, a holy huge pile of presents!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
No, I mean practically neverending. There wasn't any packing material or peanuts or anything--that entire giant box was filled with gifts. The gifts were cushioned in shipping with *even more* gifts. It was kinda crazy--in the most fabulous, not sure whether to laugh or cry or shriek with glee, kinda way. :)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I do not even know where to start in telling you about it all. How about with the 'extras'?
For non-pony extras, I got:
*a box of decadent Tazo Chai tea
*a panoramic postcard, bookmark, and squished penny from Yosemite National Park
*two books I've heard a lot about but never read: Polgara the Sorceress by David and Leigh Eddings and The Color of Magic, the first book in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.
*Four little seashell themed glass tealight holders
*a butterfly and heart-themed spiral notebook
*pink WallPops! (dry-erase wall sticker decal circles)
*a sequined, black and rainbow decorated folding fan
*a table-purse-hook
*a pencil set with eight decorated pencils, two erasers shaped like adorable foods, and a cute sharpener
*a postcard from the San Diego Zoo
*a smiling sunflower sticker/pencil/eraser set
*a cherries (jubilee!) reusable shopping bag
*a mini Ty beanie unicorn
*a rainbow handwoven keychain :D
*are you still reading? How can this list be possible?
*a sheet of puffy floral stickers
*a sheet of prismatic butterfly stickers
*a rainbow owls pocket
AND *a sheet of rainbow pony stickers

I never managed to get a photograph of everything together. It was just--too much!
~*~
So then, as if that wasn't enough, she also included two things she'd found in thrift stores and hoped I'd like. As I'm a huge fan of She-Ra and cartoon bed linens, it was a given! I LOVED THEM!
I got a Sweet Bee figure from She-Ra and a beautiful Smurfs flat sheet.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Oh! And, and, and!
She also included some stones and crystals. Two of the crystals are from giant amethyst geodes, I can tell, but I'm not sure what the third is. It is a cluster of kinda ambery-brown growths.

So then, at long last, three hours of gift opening later, we've come to the ponies. ;D
I'm extraordinarily happy with them, too. :)

Snowcatcher in the box! I missed her when she was released and am *super* happy to have her to add to my MIB G4s.

There are no ponies ON EARTH I enjoy spa days with more than Perfume Puffs. Jupiter sent me two! Lavender Lace *and*.....
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Darling Sweet Suds!
And then, because this box was huge and I'm not kidding when I say that Jupiter packed it to the brim, there was EVEN MORE...
Safely tucked away in the owl folder was a Dutch My Little Pony Advertisement! It is in pristine condition and came from a magazine somewhere. It is so, so, so thrilling to have. :D

And there was a bag of accessories, too, which to an accessories junkie like me is like having a bag of diamonds floating around in your swap box. :D

Three scrumptious pieces of birthday cake along with the cake platter, some party plates and mugs, noise makers and party hats, even the pin the tail on the pony game and two of the paper invitations. A box of pony diapers and a pink saddle and a G3 brush, too. I was in heaven.
But see that rainbow awning in the middle of the picture? Imagine it bathed in light and accompanied by a heavenly choir singing because that is the last piece of Paradise Estate I needed to complete my personal PE. SHE FOUND ME THE LAST PIECE I NEEDED!!!!! :D :D
Let me put that, the phenomenal treasure of my swap box, into perspective. :) I've been a longtime collector but I only joined the Arena about a year and a half ago in the hopes that, somehow, I'd find a rainbow awning (along with a few other small items I needed) to complete a Paradise Estate I'd found and restored. I found everything else *but* that awning. It was my signature line, that awning request, for well over a year and finally I kinda gave up on it and decided to take my mind off of my PE for awhile. And here, in the ultimate of Wishlist swap fulfillment, I got that single piece I've been *dying* to find from my partner. It was incredible. She could have sent me a box of shredded recycling paper and that awning and I would have been on the floor in shock and delight and happiness and gratitude and instead, it was just one tiny piece of an AMAZING giant swap box.
I'm on Cloud Nine. Cloud Pony, anyways.
Jupiter, you're the best. <3 I owe you--big time. :)
-
Oh Wow Congrats songtoisis!!
What a cute box!!
Great job Jupiter!!
-
Awesome boxes everyone!
-
I have to agree with you, songtoisis... that is one incredible swap box you've received. Jupiter's generosity is indeed grand and expansive, just as you said. I think my favourite part of this swap brag, though, is how obviously and completely grateful you are. Oh, and you're a great writer, too! In addition to all the fun pics, this has been a lovely swap brag to read through. ^.^
Yay, it has been agony waiting for another brag, and this was sooo worth the wait!
:good:
-
That is a beautiful swap box Song! Wow, Jupiter put together quite the awesome box! I'm thrilled you finally got that elusive little awning for PE.
I'm glad Hathorcat allowed you to participate in this swap! It's been really fun getting to know you better:)
-
What a great box you put together Jupiter. Congrats song!
-
yay! what an awesome box :) amazing that she found you that last peice you needed!!
-
Song, that COULD be citrine, looks really similar to one I have.
Wow, I I loving looking at the brags, and now I want to do one!!! :P
-
Yes! your box arrived ! OH my gosh song, your whole post about the box just made my day, I've re-read it so many times since I saw it was up :lol: I'm so happy that you love everything and I'm so thrilled to have gotten that last awning for you.
There were a couple things I forgot to say in the letter and of course I didn't remember til the box was off and running. The odd looking crystal is star aragonite and I thought it was kinda unique looking so I got one for you along with the amethyst pieces. The other little rocks are from a spot called Rainbow Pools on the Tuolume river near Yosemite. I kinda went for a little bit of everything with your box cuz I seriously had a hard time NOT buying tons of stuff for you..even more than the tons of stuff I actually did send XD I kept finding things and thinking "oh I bet song would like this" but talking myself out of buying whatever I found or my box would cost $30 to send.
When your sig no longer had the 'wanted PE awning' I thought "oh cheeze! she found one before I could send this one!"
I'm so happy to have made your first swap here so great. :iconclap:
-
Oh, song, what a wonderful box! Jupiter did a fantastic job! All those lovely ponies and the last piece of PE. Wow, just amazing :) I love this swap! :grouphug:
-
You guys are killing me.. these brags are amazing!!
-
Everyone's boxes are so amazing!!! Looking at them makes me smile about how much everyone cares
-
Wow wow wow!!! Song what an amazing box - congrats honey...and Jupiter :faint: how amazingly generous and incredibly thoughtful - this swap is making me cry happy tears again!
-
Wow! I can't wait until I can participate in a swap! It seems like a lot of fun! Congrats everyone on your amazing boxes!!! :)
-
Wow! I can't wait until I can participate in a swap! It seems like a lot of fun! Congrats everyone on your amazing boxes!!! :)
I hope, whenever you do join a swap, that your first experience is as lovely as all this. ^.^
P.S. Love your profile pic!!

When your sig no longer had the 'wanted PE awning' I thought "oh cheeze! she found one before I could send this one!"
I'm so happy to have made your first swap here so great. :iconclap:
Awww! I had looked at that signature for about a year and a half and missed lots that had one on eBay enough that I couldn't handle seeing it anymore. ;). I'd given up the search! Sorry to make you nervous! :D
-
I really love the whole story about the awning! What a great box!
-
Such thoughtful and generous people joined this swap!! What fun!
-
Time for another brag!!
When I was out to the post office to ship out a few parcels - the postman left my Make a Wishlist Swap Box to my neighbours. :)
It's always the same - you can stay the whole day..yeah the whole week at home and nothing happens - but when you leave your home for a few minutes - the postman rings at your door..
Anyway - I was happy that my neighbours under me where at home and that they took the package for me.
My swap partner was our awesome Trish!
I hope you feel better Sweetie and you'll follow my brag!! ;)
This was my first look into the box:

The Mini Wini and the Twins Top & Toppy are in absolutely mint condition.
And the Flutter is a bait - and she's a great addition because I need a bait Flutter for a secret project at the moment. ;)
Oh - I don't know if anybody can see it in the pics - but the best extra part of the box is a candle with hazelnut cream smell - it smells that tasty - believe me you all would like to eat it!!! :P
I also got the H & M G4 hairclips and barettes - what is totally awesome!!
Thanks a bunch Sweetie and feel better soon!! :lovey:
-
Awesome Stern!!
-
Wow, Seashell looks to be in mint condition!! That would have been my favourite part of the box. Most Seashells tend to have bad hair and bodies that have faded to a sort of lavender gray (dilly dilly). Great box, Stern!! Well done, Trish -- I loved the wrapping you chose!
-
Great box for you stern, congrats, that Seashell looks amazing o.O You did a nice job, Trish.
-
Yay! Great box Stern :) I am so pleased it arrived - Big Top and Toppy look absolutely amazing condition wow!
Well done on a fantastic box Trish!
-
Sweet box, Stern! :D

And last but not least, Sniffles and Snookums with their baby carriage! I cannot tell you how excited I am about them! I do not have many baby accessories, and these two look so darling sitting together ^_^
Thank you so much Gargoylekitty!

EEee! Look at all these lovely boxes! Has everyone received their box yet? I just love seeing what everyone got. :)

Oh my goodness!!!! Accessories in a swap box and gorgeous ponies [twins and so softs and FS!] and wonderful extras!!! What an amazing box gargoyekitty well done and congrats Daiyuflower :)

What a nice box you got, Daiyuflower! I love the cute owl stuffs, and that FF Blue Belle is awesome! Great job, gargoylekitty! :)
:newpony:

Awesome brag! Look at the babies in the stroller, awww ^.^ The more I see baby accessories, the more I want them :) Such beautiful ponies and extras, what a totally cool box! :frolic:
-
Loving these brags! : D Sorry I havent said much lately :sigh: Distracted and busy.
LOL...the Misery/love Company. That;s great.
Shenanigans made out like a bandit! XD
Sternen--your box rocked!! It had cool and unique things.
:in awe of jupiter's box:
-
My most awesome brag!!! :cheer: The box I received was from the lovely lochnessmomster! There was so many goodies and everything was so neatly wrapped I was blown away. I spent the entire time squealing with delight!!
Here is my little munchkin, Joseph, pushing the parcel around the living room. He was having so much fun and it was so beautifully wrapped that I let him have a play for a bit while I anticipated opening it! Notice the starry parcel paper..

Starry yummyness, a lovely pink tote bag and cool bag, and a load of Scottish brochures! I've been to Scotland a few times and it is one of my favourite places so these will be very useful!

The pretty earrings were handmade by lochnessmomster! I wish the photo showed them better.
Starry soaps, starry lipbalms, starry owly socks, calculator, books, pin badge, St. Andrews thimble, books, starry icing cutters, glow in the dark stars, bedtime lullabies and more yummies!!!

OMGosh the ponies!!!!!! *squeeeeeee!!!!*
G1 Milky Way with white stars I have been after for a while!! I can now call my TAF set complete <3
I was overjoyed when I came across the Hamilton collection Glory figure! OMGosh!!!!!!! It sits pride of place in my living room.
G3 Summer Bloom and Rainbowberry (my fave G3!).
2 Cheerilees for my MIB Cheerilee army!, 2 sparkly, starry BBs and earth Glory dollymix!
I also received 2 G1 comics but when I came to put the photos on here I found I didn't have a pic of them.

Thank you so much lochnessmomster!!! *hugs* :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
You put together such a wonderful box and you totally spoiled me! Your wrapping is so neat and everything was so thoughtful. Words cannot describe how happy it made me!
Thank you thank you thank you!! :biggrin:
-
I love looking at these swap threads and oogling over the awesome trade boxes.
-
Yay!!! I am sooo relieved you like your box, moonflower! I sent it out a week ago, so I was starting to get nervous. I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw on the swap thread that you had received your box today. :biggrin:
Please don't laugh too hard at me over the thimble. I must have been in outer space with all those stars when I said you could use it for crocheting. :blush: Hopefully you also do a bit of sewing, and if not, oh well... you can just look at it and chuckle when you think of pricking your thumb with a crochet hook. ;)
It was so much fun to have you as a partner, and again, I'm so glad you like everything. Seeing stars much? :dizzy:
P.S. Oh my goodness, how cute is your son?!! What did you wind up doing for his birthday?
-
lol - don't worry - I actually didn't find it odd when you said I could use it for my crocheting as it does involve quite a bit of sewing. :) I make other things which involve sewing also.
We had a little family party for Joseph which was really lovely and I think he liked all the attention!
He really loves the book with the light up moon!! :biggrin: It was really lovely and thoughtful of you to include things for him - thank you again! *hugs* :biggrin:
-
Congrats on your box Moonflower, I love the star-theme!
-
That... swap... box.... :faint: OMG, how awesome is everything?! I love the star theme (and all those star goodies!) The ponies and that Glory figure *grabby hands* The beautiful hand made card!! Wow, just wow... Lochness did a super amazing awesome job!!!
-

Phew, that's a relief! Goes to show you how much I know about crocheting! :P
I'm so glad to hear that your son's first b-day party was a success, and that he had a great time, too. :) Also happy that he liked the Baby Galileo book. I couldn't find it brand-new, but it fit the theme and it got really positive reviews from parents (all who said that their kiddos loved the light-up moon at the end). As a mum, it is such a special gift when people lavish on my children, so it was only natural for me to include some stuff for your boy. I spoiled him in favour of putting in items for your budgie, although I did toy with the idea of making a star-shaped birdseed cake. ;) In the end I kinda just ran out of time (and space, lol).
Oh, and about the Bedtime Lullabies CD... Firstly, I had to take off the plastic wrapping because the case arrived with a huge crack in it. I chose to replace the case even though it meant I had to open it. Anyway, I figured since I did that, I might as well give it a quick listen to see if it was any good. The music itself is nice but the woman's voice got on my nerves after a while. So, fair warning in case you decide to play it for Joseph. :blink:
That... swap... box.... :faint: OMG, how awesome is everything?! I love the star theme (and all those star goodies!) The ponies and that Glory figure *grabby hands* The beautiful hand made card!! Wow, just wow... Lochness did a super amazing awesome job!!!
Aww... thanks, Shen. :blush:
-
Adorable kid alert! lol Wow, what a cool box!
-
Wow. That's an over-the-top super incredible swap box. The Hamilton Glory?? Gah! And things for your baby? How awesomely thoughtful is THAT? :) :D
-
Congrats Moonflower! What an amazing swap box you received! :nod: It's so much fun looking at everyone's swap box photos!
-
Beautiful beautiful boxes. :D Love all the spoilage going on in here!
-
These boxes keep getting better and better!!! Way to go everyone:)
-
Oh my goodness! Lochness what an amazing box congrats honey! Wow!
And congrats moonflower such gorgeous items!
-
Another lovely box!
Major Concrats moonflower!!
And great job lochness!!
-
Adorable kid alert! lol Wow, what a cool box!
I know, right? ;) He is such a cutie patootie.
Wow. That's an over-the-top super incredible swap box. The Hamilton Glory?? Gah! And things for your baby? How awesomely thoughtful is THAT? :) :D
The Hamilton Glory was a complete stroke of luck. I just happened to notice it at the right time, and the seller was someone I had done business with before, so she made me a good deal. HC Glory and the TAF Milky Way were the two ponies I found first, and when I realized they both had star symbols, I knew that a theme was born, lol. :lol:
-
These boxes! I just love them all! Is every swap as awesome as this has been?
-
Well as you guys know, I haven't been having the best time of it lately, so this was a great thing to get in the mail :3
My partner was hathrocat and she sent me the most amazing box EVER!

Next some amazingly detailed trees for my model breyers, they're already set up, they're prefect. The rat plush is so cute! His name is Scraps, and I adore him, he's going to come everywhere with me now I think :) The funny thing is, is that only last week I almost brought the exact same rat from a toy store here, but managed to say no to myself haha, so I got him anyway :D

AND the ponies! So many ponies :D I just kept opening more and more of them!!! Two wingers for my army who are both amazing, Buzzer has her original curl! Gypsy, Snowflake and Honeycomb are all prefect, they honestly look like you just opened them! They're all so shiny and their hair is so soft! I couldn't be more happy with them!!! They're three ponies I didn't think I'd be getting for a long, long time!

And last, but certainly not lest! Plush Blossom! I've always wanted a plush G1 and now I finally have one :D She's amazing ad I can't stop hugging her!

Thank you so much Hathrocat! This box was perfect and it has made me smile so much :D
-
Silverskimmer, what a great box! So glad it can encourage you during this tough time. And how weird is it about the plush rat toy?! Cat, I love that you got him three UK adult earth ponies, and in such great condition, too!! Awesome brag, thanks for sharing! ^.^
-
Those trees are so neat!!
-
Eeeeeeeeee Silverskimmer!!! I didn't know you had a winger army:). Wow, stunning ponies! We totally need to chat sometime about wingers!!!!
-
Eeeeeeeeee Silverskimmer!!! I didn't know you had a winger army:). Wow, stunning ponies! We totally need to chat sometime about wingers!!!!

-
Oooooo great box! : D
-
Ohhh great box, silverskimmer :D So glad you got it and nice job hathorcat
-
Hooray!
-
Yay! I am so pleased you liked everything :) :hug: I tried to go for a British-ish theme lol with the UK ponies...Gypsy was so gorgeous I struggled to pack her in her box! And I took ages finding the perfect plush and Blossom certainly was hoping for a wonderful home with you!
Thank you silverskimmer for being such an amazing partner to shop for - I had a blast matching things to your wish list!
-
What a great box!!!
Major Congrats!!
LOVE the plushie!!
-
Oh wow! You got Gypsy in your box! How awesome!
I haven't been too active in this thread you guys. Sorry! I am getting very side-tracked preparing for the Advent Calendar Swap. And then there is life that also gets in the way too.
-
I love all the UK ponies!! And huggable, huggable Blossom! What a great swap box! :D
-
Wow these boxes are simply amazing! :frolic:
-
Just noticed how Plush Blossom and your cat look like they are in the same pose...sort of. So cute! They both look soft.
Vote Stella Bella!!

I voted Daydreamer, sorry. :lookround:

Aw, that's okay! You vote who you want to win. :D
-
Aw, that's okay! You vote who you want to win. :D
Phewf! Thanks for not being mad. You're so :cool:. If it's any consolation, Stella Bella would have been my second choice. ;)
-
No reason to be mad over a poll, besides Daydreamer is my second choice. :D
But I really love Stella Bella. It kind of goes well with Holly Blue and I could see them side by side together looking cute.
I do have a mini brag (to get back on subject) Shenanigans sent me a nice thank you note today that made me really happy! Thank you Shenanigans! I sent you a pm about it!
-
I have been having a really horrible time of it lately with some real life issues... All I can say is that this box couldn't have come at a better time, it's really put a smile on my face! Thank you so much Shorelines!
Here's all the lovely parcels ready to be opened:

And all the lovely goodies! Shorelines really took a lot of care in finding out the things I like! check out that adorable little panda necklace along with the purse and stickers :D Loving the Chili Peppers keyring too, I was just thinking how I needed something to make my work set of keys a bit more exciting! The little handmade card is very cute too!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Last but not least.... THE PONIES. I am still in shock about how generous Shorelines has been. I have seriously been after Megan for years and years. Shoreline is especially special as she comes from Shorelines' own collection! Confetti is in absoloutely stunning white condition and Mummy Sweet Celebrations is a NC! I am cuddling Baby Sunset at the moment, I love her chubby little face!

Just once again... Thank you so much Shorelines! And thank you Hathorcat for hosting one of the most fun swaps I have been a part of!
-
Oh how awesome!!! You got Shoreline from Shoreline! Hahaha:). Look at that bright white Confetti!
I'm so happy to see that we have a new brag!! Congrats Mercynova, and I hope things get better for you soon:)
-
Oh wow Mercy! Gorgeous box - that is the most perfect hair I have seen on a Sunshine pony for some time! Congrats and well done Shorelines for an awesome box :hug:
-

Ah that Megan, she's a sneaky one!
It was well worth the wait, thanks so much again!
And thank you for the kind words Michelle :)
-
Oh wow Megan! I've never even seen one in person. And a super white perfect Confetti!! I love all those stickers. Very cute!
-
Oh what a cool box mercynova!!
Congrats!!
-
That really is a lovely Sunshine Pony... most have such frizzy hair and Shorelines' hair seems perfect. Wow on the white Confetti, too!! I think my fave is the sneaky panda purse. ;)

Great box, mercynova! It's nice to feel like your swap partner really took the time to "get to know" you while putting your box together. Glad it helped to boost your spirits a little, too -- what great timing! Way to go, Shorelines! :iconclap:
-
*claps* very nice box :)

That was a very nice box indeed, and I'm sure we'll find out who sent it sooner or later. ;) That is a rad key chain (yes, I did just say rad). How funny that you also got a Cheshire Cat, lol. The ponies all look great, and the extras are all fun, especially the chocolate, the body wash, and hand sanitizer -- what scent is that?
-
warm apple cider hand sanitizer and berry blend body wash :)

Warm apple cider?? What I wouldn't give to live near a Bath & Body Works!! There's only The Body Shop here in Scotland, and they are lovely, but it just isn't the same.

bath and body works is amazing :) I usually get my lotions and body washes from them. I drag my husband in to sniff stuff with me all the time ;) I love that he humors me so well!

My husband doesn't humour me with regards to ponies, but he will go into Bath & Body Works and sniff their candles and soaps with me. Last time we were able to go together was at Christmas when we were in Virginia visiting his family, and then I got another opportunity back in February/March when I went to visit my mom and sisters in Minnesota after my dad died. It really is an incredible store, but I have to say, they often keep strange scents and get rid of AWESOME ones, like Very Festive Pomegranate. >_<

I have never tried either, but I'll take your word for it. They replaced Very Festive Pomegranate with Midnight Pomegranate, and it, too, is completely different.

If I ever get you as a partner in any sort of swap I know what kinds of extras to send you. :D Bath and Body Works is amazing. The hand sanitizers almost smell edible, as do the lotions.
Right now I'm in love with the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin lotion.... I am not kidding when I say it smells edible! It smells like a combination of fall and Christmas spicy sweets.
It's good to see more boxes have arrived! :D
-
Oh wow! Lots of boxes :D
Hathorcat put together an amaaaaazing box! That Gypsy.. :faint: She's a drop dead gorgeous pony :lovey: And those Wingers!! I'm totally loving the candy wrapping paper as well :D I've never seen a G1 plush in person, but it looks so soft and huggable, aww. What a great box Cat put together :D
Mercy's box from Shorelines.... :dribble: That Confetti is gorgeously white! I used to have a confetti that was horribly brown XD I would love to have such a white one, she's a beauty :) I'm loving all the extras and the cute Buttons card! Shorelines' hair looks amazing as well! Great job, Shorelines :D
Buddafly, love your box from your mystery partner! :D Cherries Jubilee is one of my all time favorite ponies, she looks like she's in gorgeous condition :D And yummy dark chocolate :dribble: I'm craving some now... I totally want to swipe the body wash and hand sanitizer.. they sound heavenly :biggrin: What an awesome box! :)
Lochness, I think that's Merriweather, not Shorelines :lol:

LOL, thanks DazzleKitty. ^.^ One of my favourite scents is the classic Country Apple. I love Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin as well, but strangely, only the wallflower and candle version. I tried the soap and lotion and couldn't stand them. :/ Ironically, my mother can't stand the candle but loves the soap, etc. :biggrin:
-
Oooooh Buddafly Merriweather in a swap box she is a most awesome pony! Congrats!!!
And your partner was the lovely MLPgal13 - well done sweetie on putting a lovely box together!

Merriweather!! LOL. I looked at her and for a second I thought she was Shorelines since she's also a purple pony with TAF symbols. Buddafly, you must've thought I was nuts! :nuts:
-
I love looking at what everyone is getting. I need to get out of my shell and join some of these!!!!

Ok, so I have finally finished the replacement box for my partner, so I thought this would be a good time to post my brag. My box was from CuteyBina3, thanks hun!!

I got BB Lyra! I love her, she's the only blind bag I really wanted, she has such a pretty color! The Lalaloopsy and HK extras are super cute as well, and I love the G1 pamphlet and accs! The G4 stickers are very nice and will come in super handy! I go through lots of stickers! And I've just noticed the Lisa Frank notepads can't really been seen in this pic. They are very cute, however!
The ponies!

A very gorgeous Yum-yum, I love her haircolour, I've been looking for a mint one with perfectly faded hair! A little odd maybe, but I'm not hugely into pink. Just love her!
The babies are also super cute, and mint! And I'm so happy about the Tennis outfit on the spanish card! I love this set, and I'm fascinated by foreign packaging, how did you know?
Thanks again CuteyBina, for a very cute box with some very well thought out touches!

CuteyBina, what a great selection of treats, extras, and ponies!! I used to collect Lisa Frank when I was in elementary school and junior high, I love all the bright colours. And I don't know what Smoeltjes are, but they look good. :) I am most amazed by the ponies! A minty-looking Fleecy with such soft and shiny hair, and TAF Yum Yum... wow! Thanks for posting your brag, little.fox. Looks like it was a great haul. ^.^

Apparently the pink comb goes to Cranberry Muffins, she was in the original box, but was in no condition to travel, after the fire. I thought I'd include the comb anyways.
-
Wow!! Fox sent such beautiful ponies and it's so awesome to get set completers!!! They all look super lovely and the extras look so fun :D It's terrible that the first box got ruined, but the second box is totally awesome :dribble: Great job!!

This is a brag for the history books:
A few months back, we made the difficult decision to put my dog to sleep. It was very hard on our family, but the right thing to do. I found comfort in the kind words of support from all of you here. The Arena really is filled with the most wonderful people in the world.
So imagine my surprise when I arrived home yesterday to find a rather large box sitting on my front step. I know I hadn't ordered anything so large, but I wasn't sure who had sent me this mysterious package. I opened it, and imagine my huge shock. It was a collection of gifts from my Make A Wish Swap friends! I was blown away. I am still blown away.
Magic Erasers!! I needed more too!

Hollywooooood!!! With original wings! Unbelievable. :shocked: I have no idea who sent that, but it sure wasn't me, lol. That is definitely one amazing box, but you deserve it 100%. It was a pleasure to be part of an RAOPK for you after the loss of your dog, and glad to hear it lifted you up. Must be all those wings. ;)
