Title: Wings and Things Official Swap Brag Thread!!
Post by: lochnessmomster on March 28, 2013, 01:54:53 PM
Wow, I can't believe I get to share the first of the Wings and Things swap boxes!! ^.^ Woo-hoo, let the partying commence!!  :woohoo:

 :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green:


A friend of mine watched my daughter today so I could check off a few items from my massive To Do list, one of which was get my partner's goodies wrapped up for this here swap.  Well, that hasn't happened yet because I got an unexpected delivery in the mail today.  :P When I saw that the box was from Sternenstaub, I had to laugh.  We were each other's partners for the Tiny Pony Swap, and on top of that we did a private trade, a private Christmas swap, AND she recently sent me a box of goodies for my birthday!!  Tired of shopping for me yet, Stern?  :lol:


Here is what the postman was holding when I opened the door:

I had to take a picture of the box, not only because it's customary, but because, HELLO?!, what a cool box!!  I didn't even know such things existed.  :blink: I love the picture on it, too... so bright, colourful, and friendly.  And bears.  I like bears.  ^.^


I was too excited to start unwrapping everything that I didn't take a picture of the items beforehand, but everything was wrapped in super cute Mickey & Minnie paper.

First, the treats!

I'm glad I took photos right away, because the chocolate is half-consumed already. XD I split the Long's Caramel Crisp with my husband (soooo yummy!) and the boys each had a couple of the milk chocolate eggs after dinner.  As for my daughter, she climbed up on one of the kitchen chairs when no one was looking and ate the miniature bunny, lol.  I have GOT to keep my eyes on that girl, she's quick!  >_<


Some fun extras:

I love unicorns and rainbows, so this little notepad is perfect for me.  Cute owl stationery?  Yes, please!  I also love stickers, and these 3D butterfly ones are such an awesome choice for this swap. 
:enthralled:


MORE fun extras!!  :biggrin:

A cute kitty card, some heart-shaped silicone muffin cases (these are so cool!!), and what I have nicknamed my straw-bear-y socks.  :P  :satisfied:


Remember the mystery pillow?  Here's what was on the other side:

Did I mention I like owls? :dance2:

As if that wasn't sweet enough, Sternenstaub included a special poem for me, which I am pretty sure she wrote.  I will treasure it always.

It seemed like everyone (including me) was really excited about the original G1 flutter pony artwork from Stern's teaser photo:

Here it is, along with some homemade address labels with a very special pony on the front -- Baby Cherries Jubilee!  This was one of the jaw-dropping ponies she surprised me with when we were in the Tiny Pony Swap together.  I'm still in awe that I have her in my collection. :hug:


And speaking of ponies, here's what you've all been waiting for.  Sorry it took so long!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Baby Ribbs, MIB Sunny Rays, and Summer Wing High Flyer! 


It was kind of cheeky to put Baby Ribbs on my wish list, but I have been wanting an upgrade for a while because the one already in my collection has badly rubbed symbols.  He may not have wings, but the dragon on his bum does!  :P

I realise that Sunny Rays is a relatively common G4, but it took me a while to warm to the new line of ponies.  I used to think they looked like an anime version of a donkey and a fawn put together.  Now I think they are adorable and I'm kicking myself for it, lol. 

My winger collection is also quite small, so it is very exciting to add this beautiful girl to my herd. <3


Sternenstaub, thank you again soooo much for this unbelievably amazing swap box.  The ponies are wonderful, but I think I am just as happy about all of the extras, especially the poem.  You are such a sweet friend. :hug:

I love the poem and that pillow is too darn cute! :D I love how she added all the things you love - the owls, rainbows, unicorns, stickers... so very thougtful and well put together! ^.^ LOVE that Flutter pony card and those address labels are so special! And the ponies! :newpony: They're just stunning! Love High Flyer :) It took me a few seconds to get Baby Ribbs, I forgot his symbol has wings on it :lol:

Awesome first brag, woo hoo! :frolic: Sternenstaub put together an amazing box :green:

Alright here it is!

HUGE thank you to Buddafly. She went WAY above and beyond- it was so surprising, unexpected, and very sweet!! I got so incredibly spoiled.

I knew it was from her the moment I saw the box,

There was no way I could forget that adorable sticker covered box from the teaser!

I LOVE the Easter grass. That's so cute and an awesome packing material idea.

From then on I got really excited and my picture taking was not in any order. Here is one of all the wrapped packages and the very first one I opened- Baby Brightbow!!! One of my most wanted ponies!!

I'm so excited I have to post this one next, jumping right to all of the ponies!!!!

Is that......BIG BROTHER BRIGHT EYES?!!??!?! SEVEN PONIES!?!??!!?!!
 :dropjaw:
He was the very last package I opened- I was already so thrilled with everybody else I couldn't believe it!!! I LOVE him!!!! You did an awesome job on him Buddafly, thank you SO much. Until I can get my mini BE army displayed, he is going to stay right here next to me on my desk. :biggrin:

And MIB Aurora Mist!?! She is one of my most favorite G3s. Wind Drifter is beautiful too and I love her wings (did you make them Budda?). There is even an extra set! I still love Curly Locks too, even though she said she didn't come as described. Her mechanism still works and that's awesome!

Baby Dibbles has the most amazing pink hair too (I know that was a little picky request on my want list, I wasn't expecting her :blush: she looks so cute with pink hair). Adorable overload!

That's not all, I got REALLY spoiled with extras too- I can't believe it! Here is group of amazing minty chocolate goodness- I LOVE mint and chocolate together. There were WAY more York Mints than pictured, but I was enjoying them while opening the presents so only a few made the picture.  :blush:  :blush:  :blush:

Here are more extras!!  :shocked:

WOW!! I love ALL of them. The little hair ties for ponies were such a cute and thoughtful idea. I wanted some and almost bought them several times but kept forgetting them at the store. :lol: Hard to see in the picture, but those little googly eyes are hilarious. I know a little boy who is going to get such a kick out of those. :lol: Love the lala loopsy micro figures too- I didn't have any of those kind.

These are the ones I got,

Too cute!! Love the paint splatter!

Thank you again Buddafly for a fabulous and very generous box. It was VERY thoughtful and super sweet of you, and I have had a huge smile on my face all evening.  :biggrin:

:)  I'm glad you liked everything, ginger :)  bb bright eyes was my therapy pony custom after my rough fishy time.  it was sooo hard to let him go ;)  I know he has a good home though!  I had to make him once I realized you loved twinkle eye ponies, too :)  they are my fave line in all the vintage ponies. I myself have a daddy tic tac toe I made a few years ago, but I've since then made improvements in how I do the eyes.

I did not make the wings.  I bought them from an arena member :)


I got my box on tuesday, but I was waiting to post my teaser until more boxes showed up :)  will post em later today!

@lochnessmomster:
I'm glad you like your box and I'm happ yit arrived that fast! That was highspeed record delivery!! :P
Yes, from time to rime you can buy very cute parcel boxes at the post office here - and as I really was out of boxes lately and MUST buy this cute one for you. :) the painting is by "Janosch". Janosch is very populare in Germany for children books. I will see if there is a english version of the popularest stories - maybe that could be interesting for your little one. ;)

As I know you like poems - and so i must write anything for you!
You received customs from me in the past - so I wanted to do anything else for you that is creative as welel and that you don't receive in each swap box. ;)

The socks rock!
I bought myself a pair with Blue-Bears!! LOL!!

And with Hachez and Feodorra - Chocolate from here Made in Bremen. :)



@Ginger:
WOW - what an awesome box!!
The custom is one of the best I saw before!!
And Junior Mints & York are so yummy - come on' let sit around together and have a Peppermint and Chocolate Party together!! :P


@Buddafly:
Congrats on a lovely box!
Look at all these Wingers!! WOW!
And the replacement wings are great!!!

Buddafly, your box from madhatterda is incredible!!  Aww... I sure do miss seeing her around here. :( But she put together one amazing box.  Not a ton in the way of extras, but who needs quantity when you've got quality?  Am I right? ;) That mug is super duper awesome.  I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland, but I don't dislike it, either.  I would totally love to have a mug like that in my collection o' mugs.  :biggrin: As for the ponies...

 :dribble:

Need I say more? XD

Well done, Maddie! :hug:

I miss her something awful:(.  The Arena just doesn't feel the same.

it's actually the first swap that I haven't gotten a bunch of extras or candy.  oddly, I'm ok with that.  I know there was a lot of worth in ponies, and I reaaaaallllyyy don't need the candy ;) 


I'm drinking my morning coffee out of my mug right now :)

I'm glad everyone likes the custom.  I'm not as good as a lot of people, and I know it has flaws - but it's probably one of my best to date. :)

Post by: lochnessmomster on March 30, 2013, 05:36:17 AM
Buddafly, I'm so glad you posted a picture of your Cheshire mug in action!  I was hoping you would.  :biggrin:

I have to agree with you about your box.  Not that there is anything wrong with cute extras, candy, etc. but like you said, there is a lot of worth in ponies.  And the couple extras you did get are the bomb-diggety.  Totally awesome box, imho.  ^.^


I'm glad everyone likes the custom.  I'm not as good as a lot of people, and I know it has flaws - but it's probably one of my best to date. :)

I have yet to do a custom, and I gotta say... that BB Bright Eyes is jaw-droppingly gorgeous.  He may have a flaw or two, but certainly nothing that shows up in the photos.  You did a fabulous job on the eyes and hair especially.  So impressed.

I agree 100% too, of course!!! :D It makes him even MORE special that he helped you through a difficult time. So sweet- I love him. :blush: At the very first I didn't care for TE ponies, I thought they looked a little weird. Then when I actually owned one and held it in my hands I realized how much I was missing out. :blush:

WOW look at all those amazing wingers!! Those replacement wings are very pretty. I love how bright the colors are. The mug is absolutely adorable. We both made out like bandits!
 :sqs:

I really miss Madhatter too. I feel a little creepy, but I used to spend a lot of time lurking so I feel like I know her and she doesn't know me. :lol: Her posts are certainly missed.

Michelle sent me a message, and I thought maybe I should jump in to show my face. :lookround:

I'm really glad you like the boxes Budda, and I'm sorry I haven't replied to your pm! I just haven't been in the mood to say much lately. I'm sorry if the box was a bit off not having candy. We've kinda went into a health kick mode lately at home, and we're trying to cut back on sweets. I didn't think buying them even for a box would be a good idea...might eat them. :lookround:  I thought the other things might last longer anyway.

Also jeez thanks you guys for being so sweet. I miss you all as well. :grouphug:  I know a lot of you have sent me pm's, and I even have a few letters. I promise I'll get to answering people soon when I can take a breather. It is nice to know people care though...haha I know who you are Ginger. ;)

I'm really glad you like the boxes Budda, and I'm sorry I haven't replied to your pm! I just haven't been in the mood to say much lately. I'm sorry if the box was a bit off not having candy. We've kinda went into a health kick mode lately at home, and we're trying to cut back on sweets. I didn't think buying them even for a box would be a good idea...might eat them. :lookround:  I thought the other things might last longer anyway.

Also jeez thanks you guys for being so sweet. I miss you all as well. :grouphug:  I know a lot of you have sent me pm's, and I even have a few letters. I promise I'll get to answering people soon when I can take a breather. It is nice to know people care though...haha I know who you are Ginger. ;)

it's no prob :)  I know you have a lot going on.  no worries at all :D

My brag!!!

So when I opened sign ups for this swap, there were certain people who, in my mind, would be well suited for this swap.  Ginger was one of those people.  Although she's new to swaps, I had no doubt that she would put together an awesome box.  I gave her the tall task of buying for me, and I have no doubt that it must have been slightly intimidating.  If she was nervous, it was not obvious to me at all! 

The first opening:

The wings are really beautiful in person!  I love how delicate and feminine they are:). Beautiful job Ginger!!

Remember that purple tail she posted??  It turns out Ginger rehaired her first pony ever for this swap.  Who could it be??

It's Glow rehaired in Pilot color change hair!!

It's really funny because I ordered some of the Pilot thermal for myself, but I ended up using it on some rehair ponies for the Alternate Swap.  So technically, this is my first color change hair pony!!

Check out her wings too!  They are just like dragon-fly wings:).  My family has this connection with dragon-flies, so they are something very special to me.  She is just beautiful!!

Finally, one of my most beloved and favorite ponies:

The incomparable Lady Flutter!  She is in gorgeous condition too!!  My heart has such a soft spot for her.  Some of you might know that she's the one Winger that eluded me when I was a child.  My ex friend bought the one I'd spotted in a store, and I never ended up getting her until a few years ago.  Each time I open a new one, it fills me with nostalgia and fills my heart with joy:).

Thank you so much Ginger for the absolutely wonderful swap box!  I can tell that so much love and care went into creating this for me, and I am so very thrilled and privileged to be the recipient.  Outstanding swap box my friend, we'll have to do this again!!

 :sqs: :banana: :banana:  :sqs:


And where would we be without the Dancing Carlton gif??

Ginger, you have inspired me!  So often I don't try new things because I'm afraid I will fail.  But if this is your first attempt at making wings AND rehairing, then maybe there is hope for me after all.  ^.^

This truly is an amazing box.  The wings and colour-changing hair alone make it a winner, at least in my book.  Well done. :ohyeah:

*nabs a Starburst*

Post by: Ginger on April 01, 2013, 02:39:04 PM
Awww thanks!!  :blush: :blush: :blush: I thought about commissioning them but I wanted to make sure Michelle got her box first- didn't want to spoil any surprises (since she already knew who I was, I had to be extra secretive, it was hard keeping my mouth shut)!

I'm SO sorry Michelle, it looks like Glow's wings got bent downward- I hope they perk back up!?! :cry: I was hoping she would be okay in that other box.  :shakefist: You are so absolutely welcome though and I'm so happy you love everything. You're too sweet!! Shopping for you and thinking of ideas was so fun. The whole thing put a huge smile on my face.
 :hug:

lochness, awww of course there is hope, go for it! :D "Give it a go, mother will never know!" Mwaha. Really this swap is what inspired me (especially Michelle, since she likes rehairs and customs :inlove:). I always wanted to try those things but just needed some motivation, reason, and that deadline. :biggrin:

ETA: LOL!!! I feel way less creepy now Madhatter  :hug:
Title: Re: Wings and Things Official Swap Brag Thread!!
Post by: michelle53 on April 01, 2013, 03:09:34 PM
No worries!  I'll get her wings a push-up so they're perky again :lol:  Hahahahaha!!!!  In all seriousness, get your hands off my Starbursts Lochnessmomster!!!  They be mine....all mine!!

I knew these boxes would be epic:)
Title: Re: Wings and Things Official Swap Brag Thread!!
Post by: Lady Starflower on April 01, 2013, 03:11:27 PM
Ginger did you get that colour changing hair from Dollyhair?? I loveee that colour!! I've always wanted to try rehairing and now that my son is older and not so needy you've inspired me to get to it and try it out :biggrin:

OMG, those are Ginger's first attempt at wings and hair? :dropjaw: She looks like a pro!!! They look AMAZING :inlove: That hair looks so pretty on Glow, she looks so sweet :) Aw, I remember that story about your friend and Lady Flutter. If only she could see all your LFs now ;) That was awesome of Ginger to include such a special pony! ^.^ Great box, Ginger, well done! :happy:

What a great Box Michelle! @ Ginger, I'm loving those custom wings! So Pretty, I'm not a fan of flutter ponies but they look better with those wings! Glow looks amazing with purple hair!

I put cooking on hold to open this box and WoW! So many amazing things and one box was told to open last...it's a jaw dropper and I sqeeled out! My husband was laughing and I think I scared my little girl but sorry I was like...  :frolic: :frolic:

Post by: michelle53 on April 01, 2013, 04:06:37 PM
I'm so glad you liked everything!  It was sooooooo hard keeping Argie Cool Breeze a secret...I had to look at her in your signature like everyday!  Plus I was actually worried that you'd manage to find one before you got my box. 

I thought it would be fun to send you a set of Summer Wings and all 4 Buzzer pose ponies:).  It was tough to send them, but I knew they were going to be seriously loved!!

I had such a blast shopping for you!  How did you like me sending you feeler questions?!?!  Hahahahaha Monster High dolls!  I actually found you a Venus, but after I read you got one, I traded her for a different doll.  Hehe, I love Catrine!  She's really very pretty.

Did your kiddos like their Easter goodies??  It was Lily's idea to include some Easyer treats:). We had such a great time looking for stuff!!!

I'm so happy for you! :hug: Michelle, you're such an awesome person to give such a treasure! :D She's just lovely as are the rest of the herd, HOLY COW! :faint: Is that Starry Wings I see back there?! :shocked: I love Skydancer's new hair color and style, so pretty! And that bracelet is just fab :D You definitely went above and beyond and Unicorn_Pops is a lucky little pony! And an extremely happy one I imagine ;)

HOLY SMOKES! Unicorn that brag is EPIC. All those wingers!! And Argie Cool Breeze... AMAZING! How incredibly sweet of Michelle! I think I remember you posting about missing out on her and being really sad? I'm so glad you finally have her!!!

Lady Starflower, yup that hair was from dollyhair. :D It's the purple to pink kind. Once I get some more spending money I'm going to get more. Re-hairing is addicting... I understand it now!  :lol:

Lol I never check the tracking unless it has been weeks and something doesn't show. I got my box today, ad I took pictures. I will try to post it up later since I'm mobile now. Currently have the flu and flopping around.

On a side note glad that Cool Breeze situation turned out well. Lol I sold mine to Michelle knowing you would get her, but it was sad seeing your upset posts about her.

Thanks guys :grouphug: I think I just like being sick. Anyway time for my brag here!

I got my box from the lovely and sweet Steph/Unicorn Pops today. Let me see if I can get all these pictures to work nicely.

Sorry if the pictures are a bit weird

First of all tons of neat candy treats..that my wife promptly horded. Haha, and some neat extras. I love owns, but my owl collection is small. I actually have a big white snowy owl that the new smaller stuffed one will look great with, and it might be hard to see but there is a tiny owl figure.

Then there is an Alice light switch plate which is just awesome! I'm actually moving in about two months into my own place (We have our own place now but like a place we will own not rent), and I can put it up in my permanent Alice room. Then there is also an Alice deck of cards!

Also in the box there was some neat MH things like bracelets and a pony cup. I loved the tiny little pad that opened up with mini note sheets, stickers that said "good job or remember this" ect. I can use that with my students. ^.^

Onto the ponies. After selling pretty much the majority of my collection I wasn't sure how well I would handle a swap box. I mean I sold more or less all my wingers and flutters, but this didn't go so badly. I loved getting High Flyer, and she is actually the one winger that I pretty much kept every copy of her I've ever bought including the same with Pink Dreams. They were just two winged girls I couldn't let go of, so it wasn't nearly so painful. Thanks Steph for a very sweet box and for including a lot of extra things. Having extras to enjoy made it easier since it wasn't just a box focused on ponies.

Oh I didn't put the wings on Morning Glory because one of her wing tabs broke in shipping, but I'll get that fixed up pretty quick. ;)

:hug:

Also thank you for the AJ! I didn't have her and although I'm selling off a lot of my AJ collection I'm keeping the regular G1s and the G4 ponies so she fits right in. Whoops! So much in this box I keep forgetting some of the stuff. :lol:

Wow, that's a crazy-cool box, Maddie!  Way to go, Unicorn_pops!  You really did a fabulous job -- even the box itself is incredible.  And I love how nicely you curled all the ponies' hair.  ^.^ The Alice stuff is also very cute, and I think it's awesome that you included Sculpey. What's the pink flip-flop looking thing with bunnies on it?

It's jelly beans :) 
I'm so glad to hear that you are happy with your box! And yep I did the drawings and I painted the Alice N Wonderland light switch. I had orginial made a custom winger applejack but seen you were selling all your ponies and I remember you also collected alice items so made that instead. Did you get the alice stamp stickers?
I hate to hear a tab broke :( Those are both original set of flutter wings too.
I couldn't remember if you rehaired but threw in some hair too.  I know you stated you didn't like alot of candy and stickers and such so I tried to get you "useful" extras. Glad to see you approved :)

So, everything out of the box...THERE WAS SO MUCH STUFF OMG. I just kept unwrapping and unwrapping.

Wow, Kelpie and Lady Starflower!!  You both did such a great job on your boxes to each other!  ^.^

Kelpie, that's a huge bag of Cherry Nibs you included!  I have to crack up at the Loch Ness Monster and other Scottish merch.  That box should have been from me, lol.  Out of curiosity, what is Bloop?  The ponies you included are awesome (especially Moon Jumper, she really is one of my favourites). Love the accessories and wings, too!

Lady Starflower, you sent TEN ponies?!  Dang... I thought I did a good job on my partner's box, but she only got five.  :lookround: The ponies you sent all look so minty, too!  Was the owl the cookie pop?  I don't know what it is about pink owls... I love them. :heart:  Did you make the wings, Lady?  They're gorgeous!

Well there's only one thing it could be!  :lol: I'm chuckling because there's a bit of a story behind that particular item.  Does that mean it fits?  I included it in the box mainly because it worked out very well as padding to ensure that the rest of the items didn't shift too much (I hope!) in transit.

Her name is Princess Bubbleberry :D She even wrote a little description like on the back of the pony boxes!

BLUEBERRY BASKETS!!!!!!! :dropjaw: :faint: Are you serious? Blueberry Baskets?! :newpony: I had bought her years ago, but was scammed and never received her. And whenever I looked for a new one they were either too expensive or had a terrible head/body mismatch or were discolored. This one is BEAUTIFUL! :inlove: Her head and body are the same color and she's still so blue :D Look how soft and silky her hair is! I still can't believe it! :faint: OMGOMGOMGOMG :frolic: *is a very happy pony*

THANK YOU REANNA for an amazing swap box :hug: I forgot to take a picture of the letter, but she drew her persona and Princess Bubbleberry and they look so cute! I just love everything, I'm so happy :happy:

Great box, Reanna!! 

You're right, Shenanigans, that box is so you!  Cupcake wrapping paper for starters, and all the lovely bright pastel colours throughout the box. :) The Jelly Belly bubbles look super fun!

As cool as the extras are, I have to say I'm astounded by the ponies!  I know how you've been wanting Tira-Mi-Su and Mochanut, and you got a beautiful deflock!!  :cheer: I've never heard of Windy Wisp, but she's cute, too.  ^.^ I am most in awe of Bubbleberry (and with her own back card description!) and Blueberry Baskets!  You beat me to it, lol... but I'm so glad you finally have her in your collection!!

Loch: I actually had to go back and look at Star's pics because I was like "I sent a bloop? What's a bloop?" xD They're little eraser things in fun shapes. And yeah, as I was making the box, I kept thinking that I hoped you didn't get jelly lol But, Star also really loves Nessie so I took it upon myself to find some special things for her!

Shenanigans: Wow! Look at that awesome custom! And Blueberry baskets!

Everyone's boxes have been amazing so far!

I'm just on cloud nine from Shenanigans' happiness!  :lovey: I'm so glad that you like everything. And don't worry about Blueberry Baskets-- I lucked out on her. The seller had her for a reserve price, and when the reserve wasn't met, I got her since I had the highest bid. ^_^ I was so happy to be able to include her with everyone else in the box.

Oh, and I'm so glad you like Bubbleberry! Working on her made me want to work on some customs for myself once I get some free time!

Shennanigans I'm so glad you got such a "you" box!

Shennanigans was my partner and boy did she go all out! This was best swap ever! I had so much fun opening everything and It just made my day!

I got a big ol' box with butterfly and pony stickers covering it and inside was this super pretty iridescent butterfly confetti. I made sure to save it :)
Here is everything unopened with all the extras laid out:

I love the yarn the colors are so me, it's so pretty! Lot's of cute stickers and great candy. The little Easter eggs *were* full of Starbursts yummy! Giant gummy bears are not as sour as they claim but they are big and tasty and the right gummy texture.  :heart:  The picture is missing another cute notebook shaped like a cupcake and some sweets themed stickers.
Her card displayed her typical awesome artistic-ness!  :art:

Such a cute drawing of Whizzer! I totally have to frame this card  :biggrin:

I started off just pulling out gifts and unwrapping at random but as I looked at was in the box I realized the big square one was just the size of a plastic lunchbox. I could hardly contain myself as unwrapped it.
And it was my childhood lunchbox!! In GORGEOUS condition with its thermos! (and more inside)

I had this lunchbox as a little girl and adored it. I used it until it just gave out. It wasn't until about last year when I got really into collecting ponies that I thought to try finding another one. Turns out it isn't as common as the others you see out there and I've come close to buying several in very less than steller condition. This extra was a complete surprise to me and huge hugs to you Shen for giving me a piece of my childhood again.  :tackleglomp:

Here was what was inside:

Cute Twilight Sparkle notepad and pen. Awesome little G1 ball capturing games and compact mirror. And a keychain for my collection!

More special artwork featuring Coconut Grove, my favorite flowers, and a cockatiel like my Mr. Feathers  :lovey:

Hooray pony tshirt with cute G1 art! And as you can see it fits!

SO MANY!! Extremely excited to get my first wingers! I never realized how small they are! I'm soo glad you included High Flyer Shen, I had decided she was my favorite after drawing an ATC of her. I love all their little buggy symbols. Twilight Pink has nothing wrong enough on her to show when on display so she is just fine and so much prettier in person than in pics  :) Medley has such pretty glittery symbols and Peppermint Crunch is so nicely colored! (I recently rescued a severely discolored one whom I shall now rehome). Dibbles and Nibbles with brushes and bassinet!! They have such cute little faces!
And the blind bag custom of Coconut Grove

Eeee! So glad you loved everything! :frolic: It was so much fun shopping for you, I had to force myself to stop :lol: You can see why I couldn't post a big teaser, I wrapped them in your favorite colors ;) I'm glad the ponies are in good enough condition :hug: I was really worried about Twilight Pink! That twins were so cute I was tempted to keep them for myself ;) They have such pretty curly hair! I'm SOOOO happy you love the lunch box! That was what I fought tooth and nail to get for you :lol: It also came with that t-shirt (glad it fits and it looks great on you!) and... well, does anyone remember me saying I also got a pony that came with the amazing extra? XD

THIS is what came with it!

It was an odd assortment of things and from a US seller! XD I told my sister I would be depressed forever if I didn't win that auction because the lunch box looked in perfect conditon (never seen one so clean!) and NBBE Baby Ribbon is in mint condition. I was a crazy bidding person ;) I danced all over the house when I won it! :biggrin:

I'm so glad you like the BB Coconut Grove :) It's not painted that great, my first attempt :blush: They're SO SMALL, I had to put magnifying glasses over my glasses to paint the eyes and symbol :lol: And here's a digital copy of the picture - it didn't print well at all XD

I'm so, so thrilled you love everything! I was so insanely happy to get that lunch box for you, I was determined to find one, hehe :) And you're right, they don't come up that often! I found a ton of the Rainbow Curl lunch boxes, but not the Merry Go Round. I really like it too :)

I'm so glad you're happy and I was ecstatic I could get if for you :hug: I wondered if the shape would give it away so I didn't post it in my teaser ;)
You're welcome! ^.^ I put ribbons in all my ponies' tails except for Wingers and G4s because they're so small and the Wingers wings would kinda be in the way :lol: I love me some ponies with ribbons! :inlove:

Here is my brag :biggrin:

I went to get my box from the post office depot yesterday as there was no-one in to receive it when the postie tried to deliver it. I think I looked slightly mad walking home with a large cardboard box, but hey ho. Anyway, here it is after I'd opened it and taken out the unwrapped items:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


How exciting!! And the items I took out from the top were amazing:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


There's also a scarf which I took a photo of further down. I was too busy wearing it to put it in the photo! I love the tshirt, and Loch it just about fits, the only thing is it's a little short. But fine if I wear a long top underneath :) I have quite a little collection of MLP tshirts now! And of course I love the Hello Kitty plushie  :biggrin:

Here's everything all together when I'd opened it all! (Please excuse the messiness of my bed) I was very excited to have so many packages to open and kept making squeeing noises all the way through. Also, I tried to follow the order but I think I opened the ponies in slightly the wrong order  :blush: I believe RD was supposed to be opened last. Whoopsie.

Here is a more organised photo of the extras. There were so many! And I felt like Loch had paid a lot of attention to what I said about my likes and dislikes. I'm not a big fan of chocolate or sweet things, so I was very happy about my cheesy biscuits and spicy almonds.  ^.^ The cheesy biscuits have already been gobbled, haha.

I love all of the smellies, they have all been tried (which is a good job, because today our boiler broke so we have no hot water  -_-) and are loved. My OH was amused/terrified by the owl I think. There's also lots of cute writing stuff and I love the rabbit stickers!

Finally, on to the ponies! I think I must've been excited as this photo is a bit blurry, haha.

Rainbow Dash is fab, and Baby Yo-Yo is even cuter in real life! I also like that I now have both versions of Baby Mischief and I am very impressed with my Forget-me-not and her wings! Are they real or very good imitations? And she has her comb! I don't have a lot of combs but that one is very pretty. I was showing my OH the ponies as I was unwrapping them and he loved RD and her cute companion, and was completely baffled by the glittery Baby Mischief.

I've actually just finished putting my collection on shelves in my new house, and realised I didn't have that many baby ponies. Which is a particular shame because they go nicely on the shelf in front of the adults. So I was very pleased to have a little group of babies who can be easily displayed! So they're already all on my shelves :)

So! Big hugs to Lochnessmomster, because this was a brilliant swap box and I feel extremely spoiled. I want nice boxes like this every week! :hug:

My box came and it was amazing! It was from the ever epic Saja!

I got a message today that a box had arrived at my old house! I wasn't planning on going out today, but I couldn't wait! So I went and picked it up, but I had to go food shopping on the way home and it was the most painfu; food shop I have ever done haha

Anyway! Enough of my speal, here are the pictures!

This is what I saw when I opened the box, well after I'd taken out the yummy cotton candy! They bunnies are so cute!

All the extras and candy! So many new skunks and candy. The chocolate had melted a bit because it has been so hot. I don't know if they melted here or in Aussie XD But it still taste great! I'm already munching on the MLP jelly beans and the fairy floss! I was so happy when I saw the cotton candy XD Because I'd been saving the last packet that you sent me a while ago and it'd gone hard -.- which was sad. So I'll make sure to eat this stuff super fast!

The skunks! They're all with the rest of the skunks. the LPS skunks are so cute and I only had one before so now he has some friends! My skunk army is growing! And the bracelet! It is so cute, I really love it. I'm wearing it now :3

And last but not least! on to the ponies
They are so amazing! The two G3s are so cute! My first baby G3 and she's a pegasus! The breezies too! They're so cute and small and just ahhhhh! The sounds I made when I opened each pony XD
And of coarse the wingers! Sungliders wings are so pretty! And Whirly is so cute! My other one doesn't have wings so now he has a friend.
And the two re-hairs! wow! Did I ever tell you how much I love tinsel! Because I really, really LOVE tinsel in ponies hair! and now I have two wingers with amazing tinsely hair! Ahhhhh

Thanks, guys! :lovey:

Loch put together and AMAZING box! :squee: I LOVE all that pretty wrapping paper and so many extras :dribble: Is that Lickety Split on the shirt? :D I don't have a lot of baby ponies either, those are so cute! Especially Baby YoYo, aww. Her pose is so sweet and she's so little and chubby :) I love Forget-Me-Not, one of my favorite Flutters :inlove: Congrats on receiving such a wonderful box from a wonderful person such as Lochnessmomster! :)

Aww, thanks, Shenanigans.  It's always nice to hear great things about the box you put together. :hug: Yes, that's Lickety Split on the front of the shirt... with BLUE hair.  Typical, haha.  :lol: I agree about Baby YoYo -- she's probably my fave pony I included.  As Enola said, she is definitely much cuter in person.  I just love her cute li'l wings and stubby legs, lol. 

Silverskimmer, I love your box from Saja!!  Was this the Wings and Things swap or the Wings and Skunks swap?  ^.^ Seriously, though, those are some adorable skunks, and I don't even like skunks! ;) The LPS ones are especially sweet, and the bracelet and custom are such thoughtful additions to your box.  The wingers are all fabulous, too -- and a couple of rehairs, wow!!  Saja sure put a lot of time and care into this box. 

It may have been tough to grocery shop knowing you had a lovely box waiting for you -- but it looks like it sure was worth the wait! XD

What a lovely box from NinaMarie!  The ponies all look so perfect, and the ribbons are cool, too.  I especially love the handmade stuff as it is not only thoughtful but beautiful as well.   I have visited NinaMarie's Etsy shop and one day I am going to buy something. :)

Hooray! I'm so glad the hat and scarf fit Alaska I'm so used to making clothes with a model on hand.

I had to doodle butterflies on the box. It was so plain and so many other boxes had cute stickers I wanted my box outside to look special too.  :P

lol must correct you all in that those items are all crocheted not knitted. I can't knit at all.
I actually got Tiffany in a lot with some grubby G3s and Primrose. After pony spa I was admiring just how nice she was and really wanted to keep her XD

I should have known that wording mistake  :P I've got a blanket half crocheted that I will never finish...lol It takes alot of patience and time! So I applause you on your ability  :iconclap:! Everything looks wonderfully made! I've found buying dirty ponies and them spending the time to clean them is so much better.

 :blink:

What is Marigold doing in here?  Why is she posting?  Is she confused?  Is she lost?  What is up with Marigold?

Why yes, I am confused and I have no idea how I ended up in this swap...but...

I was spoiled to all get out by Lochnessmomster and Shenanigans!  They are the reason I am posting in here. I had expressed a bit of regret for not joining the Wings and Things swap and so they took it on themselves to make me feel like I was a part of this swap.  Oh, and boy did they!

Goodness, I was shocked!  And yes confused!  But here I am.

First, I open the box and find a bunch of butterflies! 

Spoiler

Then I pull out package after package of colorful gifts.  I noticed the butterflies but I didn't "get" it yet. I even opened the cards and was still not fully recognizing what they did.  There were Easter eggs so I thought maybe it was an Easter surprise.  So many butterflies!  I love how they decorated everything.

I love the cards they sent me! 
Spoiler

They sent me candy including gummy octopuses and my favorite peach gummies.  They really know me well!  It is almost all gone now!  And they found me really cute stickers. Super large sparkly Disney princesses with Rapunzel and fishes!  I love them!  I must find out what these vintage fairy wings go to. Some poor wingless fairy may need some help. But I also like the vintage packaging so much I might not be able to help those poor wingless fairies.

There was a sweet strawberry smelling candle and adorable pony hair clips. I really love these clips!  Chubby ponies! 
Notice the crown and wand?  I wonder who they go to?

That wasn't all!  They sent me these cute buttons and a seashore floaty bits glass. It's so pretty!  And a Scotty dog which is obviously from Lochness and Snow White from Shen, who might know how much I love Snow!

Why, it is Sugarberry!  A custom blind bag made by Shen!  She knows I adore Sugarberry and this is just so special for her to make me!

Spoiler

Isn't that enough?  No!  They sent me a rainbow of ponies!  I was just so shocked!

They didn't even mean it to be a rainbow but it is!  And I finally really comprehended what they did for me.  They immersed me into the Wings and Things Swap completely with a set of Pegasus ponies!  Not just any ponies but ponies I have been wanting a long time! 


They are so pretty!  I can't believe they sent me Locket and princess Brilliant Bloom.  Both are ponies I had really really wanted. And all the ponies look amazing with gorgeous hair and colors!  I am so spoiled.  Remember the crown and wand?  They belong to Princess Pristina!  And Shenanigans even went so far as to custom order them from an Arena member!

I really love Locket.  She has become a new favorite of mine. Her hair is perfect and curly and shiny.

And of course you all must have noticed Gypsy in there!  She is one of my grails!  I was over the moon when I opened her!  They even included a scarf and coin for her.

I really can't describe how wonderful this box made me feel. I never thought anyone would ever do something so random and amazing like this for me. And it did make me feel like I was part of this swap. So I hope it is okay that I posted this in here.

Thank you so much for this Lochnessmomster and Shenanigans.  I am so grateful for everything you did!

Marigold!!  Girl, your need to be in this swap on our next go-round.  I'm not taking no for an answer:)

I will!  I didn't join to start off because I thought I didn't have enough wingers on my list.  But then I knew I had missed out!  Shen and Loch really pointed that out!  :D

Awesome Box Stern! Wow so many ponies! Lady Flutter! And Honeycomb!! :) I'm not big on collecting adult ponies but she is one I really like! Plus a MOC G3...and adorable extras. The fox items are super cute and those wings look beautiful.
Great job Eno!

Aww... thanks for posting your brag in here, Marigold. :hug: We are just so glad you like everything.  I have to laugh about the Scotty dog.  I hadn't realized how grumpy he looks.  He's a true Scot! XD

Wow, Stern, that box looks amazing!  I'm so glad you finally posted your brag, I was getting anxious to see what was hiding behind that cute elephant wrapping paper.  Seven ponies!!  Honeycomb!  And an MIB Silver Glow!!  :blink: But I think I am most amazed by Baby Heart Throb.  I can't even begin to imagine how someone would transform a BBE into a NBBE.

Heh heh... I love that li'l Doodlecats notepad, too.  ^.^ Great job, Enola!!

I love the chocolate hen and all the ponies!  Who is the yellow one? 
Title: Re: Wings and Things Official Swap Brag Thread!!
Post by: Shenanigans on April 11, 2013, 03:42:29 PM
The yellow one is Floater :) She's one of the first ponies Brittany bought for me when she got an ebay account, hehe ^.^ She's not very popular, but I love her :) She has such pretty colors!
Title: Re: Wings and Things Official Swap Brag Thread!!

I've no idea where that came from..... well maybe it came from Saja being the last one to receive a box and I'm just not paying attention to the poster.  >_<
Mostly I've got a million things on my mind and am easily confused lol

Once again HOORAY for STERN'S box!

Despite not being popular she was almost impossible to get! I originally got her from Lady S and then she went missing with all the ponies that never arrived at my house  :( So I bought her again off eBay. And got a message from the seller saying she was leaving the country  :blink: and couldn't send my pony! So I had to buy her for the third time. I thought she would never arrive. Actually, I was starting to think she didn't exist and it was all some big ruse.

Anyway, there she is. :) Glad you liked your box, Stern.

Oh dear, you had some trouble with that little pony! What an ordeal, but I'm glad at least one of them finally made it to you! She really is so very pretty :) And I JUST discovered she has a green stripe in her hair despite having her for years :doh: Her mane was flipped over and I didn't notice :silly:

You put together an amazing box, Eno! :frolic:
Title: Re: Wings and Things Official Swap Brag Thread!!
Post by: Enolaalone on April 12, 2013, 01:38:37 AM
Thanks Shen! Yeah, she's quite pretty, I almost wanted to keep her for myself  :blink:

I hope those missing ponies are having a fantastic adventure...wherever they are!  What a crazy journey they've been on, and I hope that they are found soon.

Title: Re: Wings and Things Official Swap Brag Thread!!
Post by: Enolaalone on April 12, 2013, 07:16:13 AM
Yeah I hate missing ponies, it makes me sad  :( I just worry about where they are. It would be nice if they just spontaneously turned up, but it seems unlikely I guess.

There is still a Baby Wiggles out there wandering around too that Hathorcat sent me.  It has been a long long time.  She was sent to me in the summer and then disapeared.  I wonder if she will someday show up.  I did get a replacement for her that I love from Hathor because Hathorcat is wonderful.  :)

Oh I'm so glad you like everything! I think I forgot to say in the box, but the flocked Wind Whistler is from my herd, I had them next to each other because I was showing someone the difference and they looked so perfect together that I had to send both
I very nearly kept that alpaca toy, so cute! It came from the farm on that leaflet :) Apparently alpacas are one of NZs iconic animals. I never knew :P

Post by: Saja on April 13, 2013, 11:17:06 PM
I wondered if that alpaca came from that herd in the pamphlet, it looks so cute! LOVE it soooo much, it has the cutest sweetest expression an is so cuddly, its sitting on my lap while I browse the arena, I adore it. I adore everything you sent, I agree I think the Wind whisslers look great together!! so thanks so much for sending them both!!

Wow, Saja... great box from silverskimmer!  I love all the handmade stuff and the hard work that went into this.  And I didn't realize that there was a different version of Wind Whistler with all-pink whistles -- how do I get my hands on one?  ^.^

Hot damn Saja!!!!  Look at all those amazing ponies!  Silver, you went all out :hearts:  That deflocked is beautiful, I know how difficult it is to deflock a pony. 

This swap was the most special and incredible I've ever been apart of!  I'm so blown away by the true generosity and love that went into all these boxes.  You should all feel so proud:).
