:cheer: I love socks!!!
-
Then you must join!!!! Who wouldn't love some fuzzy warm socks and some sweets to boot!
-
Okay, I have to ask... why socks? xD
-
eeek! I just bought and seen some fabulous socks, and I was thinking of this swap and how I look forward to it, but it seems I cannot join because of the lack of feedback >_< :cry:
well, maybe next year. have fun, everyone! :)
-
Wow good luck to everyone who can play :3
I'll be cheering from the sidelines lol!
-
I'm so in! I love me my fun and funky socks! :heart: :hearts: :cheer:
-
Okay, I have to ask... why socks? xD
Why not! They are one of the most useful items of clothing around!
I am so in!
-
Okay, I have to ask... why socks? xD
Because they come in so many funky types and designs and are small and cheap and perfect for a swap.
And everyone wears socks! Right? lol
-
The list of current participants is located at the end of original post :)
-
Awesome!! :lol:
-
Hmmmm... very tempting!
-
Totally just sent my form in! I'm looking forward to the fun this will bring!! Such a whimsical idea :)
-
Just one more day for sign-ups!!
-
Awww, I would have loved to do this but while I've got all the other requirements, I'm short on posts. 300 posts is a lot, especially since I've only been here 4 months. Have fun all you who get to join.
-
Hee! SOunds fun, but I'm already in three swaps, so I'm out (assuming standard swap rules also apply, that is). Everypony have fun, though! :D
-
Last Day for sign-ups!!! :)
-
Kazzellin- Im sure swap rules where changed recently so you could join a max of 5 swaps but only 3 of a kind like 3 custom 1 doll 1 off topic,does that make sense lol x
-
Ok gang! Partners have been sent!!! Let's start shopping!!!
-
Woohoo! Shopping, here I come! *brandishes wallet*
-
Copypastaing things into an email to myself for shopping purposes <3
-
*prints out list to go shopping with* I have so many ideas!
-
Have fun!
-
:cheer:
-
I'm getting over a nasty stomach bug, but will probably start shopping this weekend. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
-
I hope you feel better CCL :hug:
I had it for two weeks and I still don't feel 100%.
-
OH NO THE SWAP ACCOUNT IS SICK RUN EVERYBODY. XD
(Hope you feel better!)
-
:freak: Ahhh...we were almost on page two!
Anyways has anyone found anything fun yet??
-
I have brought the socks just need to get some extras and wrap it all
-
Can we post teaser photos yet?
I hope so... here's a couple for my partner - whichever pony that might be, hee hee hee! ;)

Lots of hearts and ribbons and reds and pinks and Valentiney stuff... but what's inside?
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Oooo... something fuzzy? And multi-coloured? Is it socks... or something else?
I'm actually pretty chuffed that my camera cooperated for these extreme closeups. It's usually more pernickety than this. ^.^
ETA: Hope everypony's doing better after their colds/flus - this is the perfect swap for that, 'cause fuzzy warm socks are the best when you're feeling ooky. :hug:
-
Those pics are awesome x
-
Off to Walmart this afternoon to look for goodies. All the stores have their Valentine's stuff out, so I may check out Walgreens too. I need some Pink/Red/Hearts wrapping stuff too.
Haven't decided where to shop for socks. Oddly, my favorite socks come from Kmart, although I buy almost nothing else there.
-
Sugar, great teaser!!!!
I hope everyone is feeling better! I know I do but I still have this dang cough.
-
I think I have all my extras, now I just need to buy socks! I should have it all wrapped up and ready to go after this weekend.
-
been busy buying socks for my partner :) I found a great store near my place that has a huge wall of awesome socks to pick from!
-
Bumping us up!!!! Shipping time approaching!!
-
Fantastic! Mine's all set to go... :squee:
I love this swap stuff! :heart: Especially with socks. :lol:
-
I overbought on socks. lol... now I have to go through them and decide which ones to send and which ones to keep.
it's ok, because I heart socks so much :)
-
My teaser:

-
Awww... it looks amazing CCL!
-
Is it okay to mail now, or should I wait a few more days?
-
Bought the extra goodies. Sock shopping is within the next two days, if not tomorrow! >.< I want to visit the sock shop in the mall. They're the best. <3
-
*has a sad* I didn't know such a thing existed as a sock shop! I think I need to get out more.
@CCL..maybe wait a few more days. If that's ok??
-
I can wait, no problem. I might pick up one more pair of socks anyway.
I don't think we have any "sock shops" either.
-
Okay just treats to get and then wrap and ship. Shall try to remember to post a teaser.
-
Bumping us off page two!
Also a reminder that tomorrow is the International Deadline to ship. Please PM me with your shipping info.
-
I have shipped :) I will post a teaser pic tonight/tomorrow I need to find the lead for my camera x cant wait for my partner to receive their box x
-
I'll be both shipping and posting my teaser pic later today. I've come down with something icky and probably won't be out of the house til this afternoon. But I did call out so I have no reason not to get to the PO (it's around the corner from me).
-
:cheer: I can't wait to see more teasers!
Hope you feel better Mintamena :hug:
-
Posted my teaser already, and I'll be shipping out tomorrow. :)
-
That's perfect CCL!

Preview pic! I kept meaning to grab a roll of the bday G4 paper my boyfriend and I have in the store we run at our local meets, so my G3 papers reappear. XD I also have a card but it might give away too much who my partner is. <3 mailing out later.
-
Welp, my teaser pics are going to have to stand as my preview - there's a mite more to it than just that, but I can't show too much, as a lot of the wrap is easy see-through (it has to go through customs - don't read the
wet blanket itemized customs list when it gets to you, o my sock swap partner!!), and I don't want to totally blow the surprises. ;) Suffice it to say, it's en route and in the hands of the posties now. (Though I feel better about it being in the post's hands since I can still track it, hee hee hee!)
MintamenaPie and CrazyCatLady, those are gorgeous teasers! Wow - beautiful wrapping, both of you! :cheer:
@ wiccanpony1: Can't wait to see your teaser pic! ^.^
This is so much fun! :hug: I don't usually get stoked around Valentine's Day, so thank you, fellow swap members, for making it exciting! :heart:
-
Teaser pic:) sorry about the bad phone pics
here it is without the card or sweets x

I need to pick up a box from work tomorrow, and then I will take teaser pics, pack, and ship saturday!
-
So I totally spaced on the teaser pic before I boxed it, so this will have to do - I also ah spaced on putting a card in it! LOL So after a suitable amount of time I shall have to PM my swapie so they know who it is from if they do not guess from the photo.

the post office was closed when I went by at 3pm after work :( tomorrow is the 10th, and the post office isn't open, so I will mail out my package monday, and see if I can get it shipped a little faster than normal.
-
I am looking forward to getting my box and seeing if my swapie likes what I picked (with some help for the imp that is)
-
Diamond you crack me up!
Buddafly I messed up on the date, it was supposed to read the 11th. :blush: So no worries and love your teaser!
Wiccan I love that wrapping paper!!
So tomorrow is the final shipping deadline. Please make sure to PM this account to let me know that you haved shipped if you have not already.
-
OMG I have gotten so busy I almost forgot all about this! Thanks for the update with the shipping deadline! I will have to get this knocked out tomorrow!
-

And it looks like I only need confirmation from four peeps if they shipped or not???
-
Wow, I mailed my package Saturday and it was delivered today! Hope my partner likes it. :)
-
Got mine all shipped out today :)
Also drama at the post office, some guy was being patted down and then hand cuffed and arrested by at least four men in black suits.... very FBI crazy!
Anyways.... teaser:

Also, I forgot to put a card in, so when my buddy gets their present, I'm going to have some 'splaining to do :)
-
I love your wrapping paper ray!! *steals a dove chocolate*
And holy cow CCL :shocked: that was lightning fast.
-
I hope mine comes today or tomorrow, we're going out of town late Wednesday night and won't be back for almost a week.
It says the package I sent was delivered yesterday, but my partner hasn't posted on here for several weeks. I hope everything is okay, she's on the east coast.
-
Stayed with my boyfriend while I was sick. Came home to my package from Sugar!
I took pics and will upload them later. <3 I love EVERYTHING Thank you so much!
-
:squee: I can't wait to see brag pictures!!!
And holy cow ray I just reread your post amd that's kinda scary!!
-
Yay, Mintamena - I'm SO glad it got to you - the rassin'-frassin' post office marked it as "Recipient not located at address provided. Item being returned to sender." and I was having a fit over here.
In the meantime, I got my parcel from my swap partner, the incredibly wonderful Diamond! :hearts: Impeccably timed, too, since I just so happened to be home today to receive it (dentist's appointment for my youngling). Here's the pics!

I love the see through drawstring baggies you used! They'll be lovingly reused for special people in my life.
Here's a picture of the socks alone with a sticker sheet and her notes to me:

I'm not always very specific about certain things because I like to be surprised. Sometimes I get lucky and things I love but didn't mention. Like those socks with clear panels, or that I love and collect pony sticker sheets!
Here's the goodies alone:

A set of G4 stickers I didn't know existed! And I LOVE that fakie! Look at her!

That fuzzy notebook in the lower corner is what Sugar posted in her teaser. I loves it.
Thank you Sugar, you're as sweet as your name! ^__^
-
my partner should get their box today!
-
I got my box today! thank you rayedelsol!
the post really tore the box up, though. too much empty space for a large box ;) luckily it was a sock swap, and not a breakable related swap.
will post my piccy tomorrow!
-
I shipped yesterday! It should get there soon!
-
Still no box for me :(
I'm sorry that the box was all messed up, Budda. I was in a rush and had to go pick a box up, and that's the smallest size I could use. I hope you like everything! :)
-
Just wanted to let my partner know that I will be out of town until Tuesday night, so don't worry if the tracking says my box has been delivered but I don't post a brag. :)
-

I LOVED everything!! I felt bad for my post office guy ;) he looked so guilty when he dropped the box off at work!

included were:
3 sets of socks - valentines themed, funky color/pattern themed, and *squee* monster high themed
lingerie bag to wash my new socks in
skunkies scented bag to make my socks smell better after wearing them ;)
valentines heart full of chocolates
bag of lindt chocolate raspberry truffles
tons of dove milk/dark chocolate
very awesome box :) I wore some of my new socks today :)
(lol...I took the pic at work during lunch, so my boss and coworkers were very interested in where this box of awesome had come from. I had to explain swaps/ponyboards/etc ;) )
-
Sugar, I am so glad you liked everything. I was unhappy with not being able to find you any good stickers that fit what you like and saw the Valentines and thought why not. When I saw you liked bells and ribbon jewelery and saw that necklace I knew it had to go to you. I was worried it would get stopped in customs due to that soft chiming sound. I am glad you like Rarity, I found your wish list and she was on it so added her in. I hope the Kisses where tasty, I can not milk chocolate so have never tried them. Also so sorry that I forgot to put a card in.
my partner should get their box today!
I did and sorry for the delay in posting, it has been a crazy four days round here. Cookie booth season started two weeks early!
You did a wonderful job and we had so much fun opening it up, my daughter did snag the pencils to share with her friends at school and those Belly Flops are about half gone! For once my daughter did not run off with any of my socks so I have some wonderful new fuzzy for this wonderful run of snowy cold weather we are having and some Easter ones I can wear to work when the time comes. Anyway onto the photos -
Look familiar -
