So, I'm the first one to brag here, I'm so excited! :frolic:
I just opened my box from the lovely Honeycomb. She has been my swap partner before so I knew that her boxes are always a bummer! And I was so right, look how I was spoiled:
Everything out of the box

And unwrapped. It's unbelievable how many items there were in those small boxes!

Now let's take a closer look!
A lovely card

Some stationary, stickers, a notebook, pens and a passport holder - I love this Asian style and the notebook is so great!

Next are the beautiful boxes, 2 pony pins, socks, miniature food (look at the little donut and the sushi box!) and a key chain.

And do you know what the little box with the girl on it is for? It's full of erasers shaped like matches! :inlove:

Next is jewelry. Honeycomb gave me this great owl necklace with a matching ring! Wow! :shocked:

And here are my favourite pets: (dwarf) hamsters, a tarantula and a leopard gecko :inlove: (Those are so accurate! Why don't we have something like that in Germany? They came in little plastic eggs, just like Kinder Überraschung. :biggrin:)

And last but not least - the ponies! G4 madness! Flower Wishes, Pinkie Pie with and without tinsel, Sunny Rays, Cherry Pie and Cherry Berry! :frolic:

Well, what can I say? I'm speechless! Honeycomb you're the best - you spoiled me again! And you're really telling me that I'm getting another box from Germany? :shocked: You're crazy!
I love everything in this box and it's all just "so me"! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :hug:

Congrats :)

What a lovely box. :)

Can't see any photos because China blocks imageshack, but I know what was inside, lol!
I'm so glad you like everything, it's always so much fun to shop for you!!!
-
Oh no, I'm sorry that you can't see the photos! :( Where can I upload them so you can see them?
-
Photobucket is fine. No idea why they block imageshack. :pullhair:
-
I love those match erasers. So cute!
-
Uploaded the pics to Photobucket - hope you can see the album here (http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/Naraya81/library/Girly%20Swap%202013).

Oh wow what a box, huge congrats.

I wasn't in this swap...but I can't resist a brag thread! *sits in the corner and watches all the pretty brags*

Aw, what a beautiful first box for this swap! Super girly and cute, I love everything!
-
I love all the wrapping, such a nice presentation! ^.^
You got some great extras there, Naraya! The socks look so fun, and so do the matchstick erasers. :) I especially love that owl ring! :heart:
You've got a lovely group of G4s, too. Cherry Berry and Cherry Pie are my faves, probably because they're pink AND edible (well, so to speak, lol). :P
Great box, Honeycomb!
-
What a lovely box! Those Ddung match erasers are adorable! Congrats!

Wonderful! Beautiful box.

What a wonderful box! Good job, Honeycomb. :)
I need to get my box out tomorrow too!

How many times do I have to tell you not to eat your G4s Lochness?! It won't do you any good.
Lovely box Honeycomb! Those matches are too cute!

And then you can have an after dinner Minty.

Brag time!!! Shenanigans, you are so amazing! This swap box had so much personal touch to it, it felt SO me! I was overwhelmed opening everything.
I got home from a tiring early shift and saw the box, I was shocked it got here so early. Then I realized, well, it's from the next city over xD Shen!! I had my suspicions, just because I thought it would be funny if one of us AL people got each other as a partner.
I took so many pictures. I tried to pick out and open all the extras first, thinking of saving the best [the ponies] for last, but it turns out the extras were every bit as amazing! Not that the ponies weren't also amazing, but you get the point. There were way more special extras than I expected. :shocked:

The prettiest hand-drawn card!

I love corgis so much, this was the first thing I opened! Even boyfriend squeed at it. He won't let me name him Neville though. I said we should, because he's got a "Longbottom". Get it? Cause he's long...? :drunk:

The blue container was full of chapsticks! I just love it, I'm such a chapstick hoarder.

Hufflepuff earrings! So cute! Of course I will wear them! And...

Time Turner! I was so excited! It's so fun to play with, too :P

These absolutely gorgeous earrings, oh my gosh. I don't even know what to say. All these extras were so amazing, and this is just the ones I was most excited about! There was also nice hand cream for when my hands are dry from work, a cute notepad and pen, a cherry pie air freshener, pretty nail files, a candle... So much stuff! And then, of course, the ponies.

So much amazingness! I'm so, so excited to have Tira Mi Su again, and of course Mochanut to make her a little family. And Wildflower is just stunning, she's the prettiest orange creme color! Napper of course I have been wanting for ages, I'll have to hunt down her green-haired twin now haha.
I'm just so pleased with this box and so floored at how much Shen put into it! One day I hope to master the art of swapping to such an extent :faint: Thank you SO much! We have to hang out again soon too!
-
What a wonderful box!!! All the ponies look so mint! And the drawing is amazing!
-
Oh what a sweet box! That time turner is so cool! Grats Lemontwist!
-
Wow, such a great box! :)
-
Yay! I'm so glad you like it! :tackleglomp: SO much fun picking stuff out for you, especially since we had met IRL! ^.^ I loved the Time Turner, haha. I want one of my own! I just HAD to get you some HP stuff :biggrin: I knew I had to get you a corgi too since I love dogs so much ^.^ I received Tira-Mi-Su and Mocha Nut in my last swap and they are so, so pretty. Wildflower is one of my favorites, that gorgeous orange color! I'm so happy you loved everything! :frolic:
-
lemontwist, what a lovely box from Shenanigans!! Not that I'm surprised. ;) Having been spoiled by her myself in the past, I know what you mean about all the stuff being so YOU, like she tiptoed into your brain while you were sleeping and took notes. :P
I love that you're a Harry Potter fan! Our whole family is, too. Well, most of us, anyway -- my husband, me, and our two boys. The preferences of the toddler and baby-to-be remain to be seen, lol. The Hufflepuff earrings are way too cool, and so is the time-turner. We bought one for the boys, but I'm pretty sure ours is a cheaper model. Yours looks made of real metal, or at least a convincing fake. ;) It cracks me up how you even incorporated the cute Corgi into the Harry Potter theme. Who cares what your boyfriend says? Neville is the perfect name for him!! :P
How sweet for Shen to include all of those chapsticks! What flavours did you get?
The ponies all look FABULOUS. I don't collect the Sundae Best ponies myself, but I do love Peppermint Crunch. Her name, her colours, her pose... she is definitely a cutie. I think I will add her to my pony wish list. ;)
Well, you put together another fabulous box, Shen! :biggrin: (love the card, too!!) :heart:
-
Oh my goodness, that time turner is absolutely awesome! I love that box so much!
Great job shenanigans!

The second part of my box arrived today! Here are the wrapped pressies:

And unwrapped:

Honeycomb gave me a gorgeous and minty Sherbet for my Sundae Best army and two beautiful flutters: Peach Blossom and High Flier. High Flier was one of my most wanted ponies and Peach Blossom is one of the last flutters that I'm missing.
Thank you again, Honeycomb - I absolutely loved your box! :hug: :sqs:
-
Wow congrats on those boxes guys!
-
Thanks, everyone! And I agree on Neville- perfect name! :biggrin:
Ooh! Three more ponies for Naraya! Peach Blossom's hair is so curly and pretty :D All three of them look gorgeous! Honeycomb put together a fantastic box :)

My incredible swap box from Naraya!
Kleines geschenk fur dich! (a little gift for you):

First sight upon opening the box:

I honestly didn't move the contents around at all -- this is literally how it looked when I lifted
the lid! Everything looks so nice and orderly. :)
Beautiful card and cute owl sticker on the back of the envelope ^.^

Remember the cute striped gift that said "for the baby (to use in the tub)"? Well, there were two
other similarly-wrapped presents, one for my boys, and one for my daughter. :) Here is what the
packages contained:

The boys loved the styrofoam aeroplanes and Noah wanted me to pass along his thanks.
The ladybird hair clips are going to look adorable on Marion, who also gets the benefit of
getting to play with the ducky before her new sister or brother comes along. :)
Maoam sweeties and a few squares of Ritter Sport ^.^

One of the presents was a blue-and-green striped box with li'l tinies inside:

Love the serious-looking Beagle figure (his expression makes me giggle!) and am so excited
about the new blind bag ponies, Twilight Velvet and Sweetie Blue!! :heart:
More fun extras!!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Such perfect choices for me! A cute Hello Kitty notepad and light-up HK stamper, a pack of owl
tissues (so silly, but I love having travel tissues on hand), an expandable owl shopping bag, a
lovely metal Beagle sign (she reminds me of my childhood Beagle), and three packs of stickers.
I can't wait to smell the scratch n' sniff ones!!
PONY TIME!! :newpony:
First, I got G3 Tira-mi-su and Mochanut. Mama and baby both have minor haircuts, but
apart from that they are perfect. Such a cute pair, I was so thrilled to receive them in my box!

Next, G3 Candy Heart -- pink perfection!! ^.^

I was shocked when I saw this li'l girl:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Mail Order Purple Valentine's Day baby pony, really?? She has been so elusive for me, mainly
because I usually can't justify the cost whenever she pops up on eBay. I'm super happy to
welcome her into my herd, and I love the natural "swoop" curl in her mane and tail! :heart:
That's it for the ponies, but something else decided to "hop" into my box as well:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Hoppy, are you serious?! Sure, she was high up on my wish list, but I honestly never thought
I would see her in a swap box. It was one of those "it's a long shot, but you never know!"
items. Oh... and she's near mint, too! I'm still in shock -- thank you, Naraya! :hug:
What is so awesome about Hoppy is that I recently found a super deal on Baby Pockets that
I just couldn't pass up. Now I have the pair, and they look so adorable together:

I saved this present for last. I wasn't sure what it was, but the size and shape intrigued me.

A super soft white owl plush! I love owls and I love plushes, so it's perfect! ^.^
Last, but not least, a group shot (the candy was in the blue bowl behind the stickers):

I had a really fun time opening everything, and I just love how pink and girly everything was. It's all wonderful, truly. And the ponies are all in such great condition! I also want to say a special thanks for including little gifts for my children. A gift for them is a gift for me. It really means a lot. Thank you for making this such a fun swap experience, Naraya! I can only hope my own partner will be just as happy with hers. :hug:
-
All of these boxes have been amazing! Lots of pretty ponies and neat extras.
-
The owl is to die for!!!! So fluffy and cute! Wonderful box you put together, naraya! Congrats, Lochness!
And I'm so happy that you like everything I got for you, naraya!

What a wonderful box! I love the pink owly & the strawberry stickers! Love love love!

Box of awesomeness! :squee: I love that little beagle and that pink owl bag is so cute! All the ponies have such nice hair and I like the swoop on the Valentine baby too! :heart: What beautiful, girly ponies! ^.^ I really like those strawberry stickers too :D Fantastic swap box!!!
-
Wow now 2 have received that adorable G3 pegasus pair!
Congrats Lochness! I especially love the little expandable owl bag it's cute and useful!
-
Oh wow there are some very lucky people here! Hee hee I love seeing how everyone spoils each other :)
I really hope my partner likes their box, looking at some of these mine doesn't have quite a much... stuff in it. I think they'll appreciate what I have in there, though!
-
@lochnessmomster: Phee, I'm so glad you liked everything! I wasn't sure about the condition of Tira-Misu and Mochanut and the purple Valentine's baby. And if I included enough ponies. :) And I'm also glad that I picked the right stuff for your children! I really had fun searching for things they might like!
To be honest: it wasn't so easy to part with some of the presents and my mother-in-law wanted to steal the pink owl shopping bag.^^ I will have to buy another one for her.

If Tira-Mi-Su and Mochanut were in the "worst" condition out of all the ponies, then in my opinion, you did an AMAZING job. The rest of their bodies (eyes, symbols, etc.) are perfect, and it's only the bottom section of Tira-Mi-Su's mane that is cut (and the clip does a great job hiding that), and of course Mochanut's little bobtail, which is actually kinda cute. ^.^ The rest of the ponies (and kangaroo, of course, lol) were all pretty near perfect, which is even more surprising since two of them are G1s. Most of the MO Valentine's babies I see on eBay are nowhere near that nice, so I feel pretty spoiled. And Hoppy is just... wow... :blink:
I hear you on the parting with presents bit -- I feel the same way! :P Thank you for sending them, though, I really appreciate it. :good:
Aww... I feel bad that your mom-in-law wanted that shopping bag. I hope you're able to find another one for her! Those compact shopping bags are quite useful, but I admit I've never seen such a fun design before. :) Thanks again for everything, you really did a fabulous job and have nothing to worry about. :hug:
-
@lochnessmomster: Thank you! :blush: :hug:

Oh my, so lovely boxes! Congrats all! :)

Seeing all these awesome boxes makes me so so happy! What joy they must have brought to the people getting them and they must have been so much fun to put together! :lovey:

Lovely, girly boxes. Congrats everyone. ^.^

these are great ladies!!! Looks like we have 2 pink pegasus mascots for this swap XD

Wow great boxes everyone! :dribble:

The brags are off to an awesome start! :)
That Ritter chocolate looks delicious, lochnessmomster. I need my chocolate fix right now! LOL

Oh my, the Ritter chocolate squares were soooo good. I shared all three with my husband -- they didn't last long. ;) Thankfully I can find them in Scotland, 'cause I think I need to go out and buy some more a.s.a.p. :P

Stuff to beautify myself! Dazzle picked out the perfect pink lipstick and beautiful eyeshadow and will wear them both to church tomorrow :D Glittery nail files, an adorable little pink bag, and a wallet! I was actually very much in need of a new wallet! The one I have came with a purse I got like 10 years ago and it's getting rather worn and it's too small. So this one is just perfect for me! Bigger than my old one, but small enough to fit in my purse :D

I was so excited to see this!!! A long time ago when my mom had a doctor's appointment we would go with her and my sister and I would sit at the kiddie table and read the books. I remember we would always read the Dr. Seuss books and Esmeralda's Lucky Charm :) I loved that book so much and now I finally have it! I have to say, this is one of my most favorite things in the box ^.^ And can't forget the little Ariel figurine! She is one of my favorite Princesses and oh so cute in her tiny form in her little tiny boat! ^.^

The tasty part of the box! The strawberry candies didn't make it into the picture, they were devoured by me, my sister, and my mom while I was opening everything :lol: Then we started on the watermelon candies ;) I wasn't able to taste any of the chocolate because it was so melted it would have dripped into a puddle on the floor ;) It's currently in the fridge becoming solid again lol.
Awesome extras, now onto the ponies!

TAF MILKY WAY!!! I've wanted this girl for so long, she's sooooo pretty and I just love the blue streak in her hair :) She's in my favorite pose and she's just gorgeous :inlove: She truly is one of the most beautiful TAF ponies :lovey: Now I just have to get the baby ;)
Thank you for a super awesome swap box, DazzleKitty! Way to spoil me! :squee: :hug:
-
I'm so glad you got the fluffy pink puppy, Shen... I know how much you wanted her. ;) And how ADORABLE is that Chihuahua card?? I just wanna scoop him up and keep him warm. ^.^
Dazzlekitty, you did an amazing job drawing Sugar Sweet! I wish I could draw from my imagination like that. She is beautiful.
I also remember you talking about that piece of jewelry. At least I think so... wasn't it you you said you wanted to buy some jewelry for your swap partner at the hospital gift shop? It's a really beautiful and sparkly piece, and so perfect for this swap, too.
I like the pink wallet and the shimmery pink nail file. Pink is good. :good:
What a neat story behind the book. How cool that you found that for Shen, Dazzle. :) And the British sweeties! And TAF Milky Way!! Such an awesome box! :)
-
Oh wow Shen I'm so glad Dazzle got you a childhood memory like you did for me in the Wings n Things swap! I appreciated it so much!
I love your drawing Dazzlekitty! Very cute!
-
I am so glad you like the box, Shenanigans! :D I was actually pretty worried about this one. I kept on looking the ponies over and seeing just their flaws, but my mom told me to shut up and that they look good to her. XD
And yes, I was the one who talked about getting jewelry from the hospital gift shop. A few other items came from the hospital gift shop too. They have some gorgeous things in the gift shop. I certainly cannot let myself go in there without spending money. They have all kinds of cute plushies that I want to take home as well. I remember you saying you liked small dogs, Shenanigans, so I thought you may like the little pink dog. I fell in love with it. I almost thought of getting one for myself but I don't have the space. :P
I'm at work so I can't see how the pictures turned out (silly work computer blocks so many photo sharing websites), but I will see them when I get home. I read all the comments and I am confident now that you like your box, Shenanigans. I was very happy to be your partner and I am glad all the ponies went to a great new home. :D
I am so glad it arrived safely too. I was freaked out yesterday that it got lost, but that was due to my own ditziness. :P
-
Hehe, no need to worry! The ponies are just beautiful and I can't believe you picked out just the right color make up I would wear :D I was chatting with Lochnessmomster about how much I wanted that dog plush :lol: Sooo cute! I love hospital gift shops! They have the coolest stuff :D The necklace is beautiful and I'm just so thrilled! :happy:
And so, so happy about the Esmeralda book!!! :frolic:
-
Those gem ponies have mechanisms? What do they do???
-
Great Box for Shenanigans, Dazzle! I love Milky Way. For some reason or another I have never bought this pony..yet she is so lovely. Nice ponies and I like to wear those same color shades too.

Their hair can be lengthened or shortened by the turn of the head.

I didn't know that! Should have guess by the names. Lol.

Are you telling me I sent you a Brush n' Grow pony and you had no idea her tail got longer?? :rolleyes: Marigold, you are too cute. :snail: I bet you're testing her out right now, aren't you? ;)

Hehe, they're fun to play with! I like making their tale short and showing someone and then all of a sudden yank her tail out and freak the person out! :lol:
-
Those gem ponies have mechanisms? What do they do???
Are you telling me I sent you a Brush n' Grow pony and you had no idea her tail got longer?? :rolleyes: Marigold, you are too cute. :snail: I bet you're testing her out right now, aren't you? ;)
Yup and yup.
:P

Whoah, late to the thread here but WOW, great brags everyone! Good work to all the box-creators so far, you put so much love and thought into your boxes! All of these are enviable...can't wait for my partner to get mine, and to receive my own! :devious:
-
Too bad tomorrow is Sunday and therefore no new brags. :(
But hey, I'm also glad it's Sunday. My Animal Crossing pre-order will be in the store and that will be my life for a few weeks. Good bye Arena! :P ;)

This is so exciting! Awesome job Dazzlekitty!

And Marigold: you really made my day! ("Yup and yup.") :thumb:

Great wrapping, mercynova! Guess you finally gave in and bought some new paper? :P It looks very nice and lovely and girly. :heart:
I am loving all the butterflies, bows, flowers, and lots of girly gifts. Those stickers look awesome! The Cath Kidston coin purse might be my favourite extra, though... I'm not into floral designs generally, but hers I love. Nice selection of ponies, too! What a lovely brag. I feel so behind even though I'm technically still on schedule -- better get to wrapping my own box! :blush:
-
Awesome box! Totally girly!! Great job, mercynova!

It's so frilly and pink and girly . . . love it!
Congratulations. :)

I'm so so happy I joined in this swap, I've loved shopping for Partypony and my box is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much once again Enolaalone!

Wow, amazing box! :frolic: That pug paper is TOO CUTE! The flower ponies are beautiful and Cha Cha looks like she still has her pretty, curly hair! And her earring, that's always a bonus! ^.^ Love that pug bracelet too, aww.
-
That pug paper is ADORABLE! I love watching swap brag threads, they are so fun!!!
-
The extras and ponies are awesome, but if I am being honest, I was paying more attention to those adorable kitties of yours. Oh my goodness, the cat hugging the mouse toy is just TOO CUTE!!!

You're right :) Cha Cha's hair is so so lovely!
Also.. the socks are absolutely perfect. I can't remember whether I mentioned in the swap thread but my boyfriend is always stealing my socks... but pink lacy ones are definitely safe :D
-
mercynova, your cats are precious!!! so glad you've enjoyed the swap :) thank you for participating!
-
Yay! I'm so glad it arrived safely :) I was on my way to Pets at Home for my rabbit and I remembered you had cats so I thought I'd pick up a couple of things for them. All cats like catnip, right? :biggrin: Though you thinking it was something else made me chuckle.
I didn't think I'd like the Princess Pony at all, but when she arrived I kind of wanted to keep her! I might have had to remove her crazy eyelashes though.
I did look at your box and think, I'm not sure how girlie this is, it's covered in pugs! But I thought you would like them anyway.
Yay! :frolic:
-
OMGoodness I so ADORE That wrapping paper. Oh that is so adorable. I wonder where she found such precious paper. I love pugs so much. Great box wonderful ponies too.

I just can't believe how perfectly girly my swap box was! Seastar really knows what she is doing! I was just lavished with girly goodness!!!
Right from the start there were stickers all over the box that were adorable and pretty. She put these stickers on some of the things inside the box too such as the treats and inside the compact mirror. I loved finding all the personal touches. ♥
So I open the box and was wowed by the beautiful presentation. It was really really nicely put together!

I really loved the bundle of flowers. It is hard to see but there are lollipops in the middle. Yum!! And they are so pretty. I said my favorite theme was flower so seeing them when I opened the box really just tickled me. I was grinning so big!

All of the presents!!! SO many!!!! I love the ribbon sticker things. What are they? I want to use them!!!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
So I opened so many things! All so very girly! Boris didn't know what to do with himself in all these girly wonders! First there was this super cute make up bag complete with everything you would need to fill it! I really like polka dots. A pearl necklace (I love pearls!), candy "lip stick" push pop and candy necklace, make up brushes (which I actually really needed), a super cute compact, and a pom pom lolly.

I have a small thing for pretty emery boards. I like having ones that have pretty pictures so I was thrilled to get these! And the flower bath petals are so pretty. Seastar, you're right that I don't use bath salts and such, but I DO actually like the flower bath petals because I put them out on my bath counter. I have some pink ones that these will go with. And the pink loofah is very welcome too! :D I really feel girly!!!

Mmmmmm, Boris is right that the chocolate smells good. It was super yummy too and is now all gone. The nerds didn't last long either. I love that you included some "gem stones" in my box. I will be using those stickers soon! I love the glitter nail kit too. Those tiny jars! You really really know how to make an awesome girly swap box!

And yet there is more!!! You really spoiled me! Pretty papers and a letter opener which I am very happy to have (No more paper cuts!). Adorable cupcake ruffs and a candle that smells divine. It is a fruity vanilla smell that is just the kind of scent I like. If I wasn't feeling sick I would have burned it already.

So many wonderful girly hair things. Boris enjoyed a good roll in them. You have no idea, but the headbands and ties are making me so happy. I have just the outfit I want to wear with the headband and ALL my other ties are boring brown. These pink ones are going to really make me happy every time I wear them. My hair is always in a braid and I will be looking down at the end grinning now. :D I also love the pink hair curl. It is so fun!

These three girls have been at the top of my want list for a while now. Rainbow Curl Stripes is so pretty! I was so glad you sent me one of the rainbow curls. I've been wishing for them for a while! This one especially!
Glittering Gem is one of the ponies on my "favorite color combination" list. I want to collect all the pink ponies with yellow hair one day. She's beautiful! And now I know why she is called a brush and grow pony. lol!
Last and most wonderfully, POSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, let me explain. I have wanted a NSS Posey ever since 1986. My friend had her. I had never seen Posey before, not at stores and I always looked. The only Posey I saw later was a so soft one. But my friend had this girl and I really really fell in love with her. Every time I visited her I would play with Posey, even if we were not playing ponies. I don't know why I never added her to my collection as an adult, except maybe because I wanted it to be special when I got her and not just an ebay buy. So now I have a super special and perfect Posey with gorgeous hair! Thank you!

Thank you so much Seastar, I really loved my girly swap box. :D You totally spoiled me with everything girly!

Aw that's a wonderful box :D well done Seastar!
I agree, the Rainbow Curl ponies are definitely some of the most girly! Stripes look beautiful!

That Posey's hair is so pink! Congratulations. :)

LOL, that's how I felt when lemontwist got Tira-Mi-Su and Mochanut. I was like, "Oooh, I want them!" and then was so happy when I found them hiding inside my own box. ^.^
-
Awe Marigold, I'm so happy you like everything! :lol: I had so much fun making that box for you! I'm so glad you like the ponies too! I tried to find a Posey with pink hair for you, I scowered Ebay and found a gorgeous one, but she sold in auction for over $60!!!! I felt like I wasn't going to be able to find her for you, but my wonderful Shelti came to my rescue! I'm so glad you like her. It makes me feel so great!
:frolic: :frolic: :frolic:
Also, the green stickies I used for the wrapping, I found those at Michael's. They were all in a pack together in strips just like a pack of stickers. They were gorgeous! I had to get them!

I just realized I forgot to comment on your brag, Marigold! :blush:
Wow, SeaStar... she wasn't kidding when she said that she was "lavished with girly goodness." ^.^ Flowers, pink ribbons, bath stuff, makeup, gems, chocolate, candle, stickers, and pretty nail files... not to mention all the other pretty accessories and extras. You did a fabulous job! Oh yeah, and the ponies! ^.^ Sometimes I am so excited about the extras that I forget all about the ponies. :P
Congrats on getting a perfectly pink-haired Posey! And well done, SeaStar, for finding it! What great boxes so far. :)
P.S. Marigold, I love how you incorporated Boris into the brag photos. My fave picture is the one with him lying on his back in the middle of all the hair things. ;)

On that less Satanic note, time for my amazing brag about my swap box from :heart: MARIGOLD :heart:!!!!!!!!
I don't even know how to begin talking about this box, but I just have to start anyway. Marigold, you couldn't have possibly done a better job even if you tried, but I can see that you worked so hard on this box and I just...I literally started tearing up when I was opening these, especially the beautiful handmade things. Everything is just so thoughtful. This literally happens every time I get a swap box- even though I know it's always amazing, I never stop being super touched at the thought of someone going through and finding so many perfect things just for me!
So I picked up this box from my mailbox- it's so heavy!
And I squeal! And immediately open it!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
And I love cards so I go for that first, and LET ME JUST TELL YOU ABOUT THIS CARD, OKAY. That is a Luna Moth- aside from moths being fantastic critters, it's associated with the moon, which is what my name (Selene) means :heart: I have always adored Luna moths, and I didn't even mention that ANYWHERE, so I think Marigold is psychic. Everyone bow down to your new goddess. There was also gorgeous art inside of my ponysona, but I forgot to snap it in my excitement!

My box was filled with fun glitzy confetti, cuddly pom poms, and pretty pink gems! From that little pile of heaven, I excavated the following. I felt like I just kept finding more and more little presents!!! :shocked: I've wanted a little egg plant forever, that thing is TOO CUTE!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Honestly, I didn't even know where to start so I just opened whatever was closest. In it, I found this sweet little owl clutch filled with GOODIES! Owl clips, a little fox necklace, and OMG, NEBULA HAIRCLIPS (HOW DID YOU KNOW)!! But I am quite partial to the hairbow with the button with smiling test tubes. Guh, my heart!!!

Next, I encountered another little box, and opened it to find...
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
How mysterious! Well, that's inviting for a scientist like me! Onward, in the name of discovery! I found a bunch of adorable test tube magnets (also with faces, awww!) and some GORGEOUS science-geek jewelry! Did you make these yourself, Marigold?? There's an awesome DNA helix keyring and a beautiful chemical compound necklace. Now, I tried to draw out and figure out what compound it is. Assuming that the branches are methyl groups, the formula should be something like CH(C6H9CH2)3, but I'm not sure. Either way, it doesn't matter because it looks FANTASTIC and all my geek friends are going to be envious :) I wish I still worked in a lab!

BTW on top of that box, there was an extraordinarily small, gram-sized box, which had THIS! A teeny kitty charm! I love these, they go in my good luck satchel and go with me everywhere!

The next package contained pure amazingness. A sweet little pink fox, and the girliest virus ever!! This is too sweet and I giggled a lot- I think it should be the mascot of this swap and it is SO coming with me to medical school!

Next, I discovered a coin purse with my FAVORITE Sanrio character, Cinnamoroll! And that's not all, inside was an OWL FORM OF MY PONYSONA, MIDNIGHT MOCHA! I can't believe it, you are looking at the world's first unicorn owl!!! So creative and SO beautiful, the constellation is just stunning!!!! You are all very lucky to witness the unveiling of this majestic new species!

Marigold's handmade stuff is just fantastic, and it's STILL not over. She also made me this miniature clay Rarity, my favorite G4 pony!!! Look at the little curl in her hair, too cute!!! I thought I was a decent sculptor but I humbly bow out of the way now ^^

In this gorgeous sheer pink and gold bag, I found a complete, amazing fluorite collection! WOW. I had been thinking about getting more serious about my rock and mineral collecting, and well, I think Marigold took all the work out of it for me now! I can't even go into how amazing all these specimens are, and she even made a list of where they all come from, how special! I have also really wanted a rose quartz point for a while, and now I have one!!! I need to spend more time examining them all later, they're fascinating!

I know you all are waiting for the ponies, but I'm not done showing off everything else yet. Here are the sweets! Gummies and all kinds of yummy things that I love!

But what's this??? Marigold, you beast! Cinnamon, my arch enemy, HOW COULD YOU?

Oh, but she didn't, because she's far too clever and sweet for that- lookie what I found inside! I have had my eye on this Big Mac proto blind bag for SO LONG! Now he's MINE!!!!! And I have wanted to start a terrarium- how special is it that this deer moss sample from a new friend is going to be the one to start it? I love it! You really just...got me so well!!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Okay, Okay, nowwwww we can show the ponies! Look at my new sweeties! Two gorgeous SHS, with their earrings intact!!!!! They're so much more gorgeous in person! And G3 Pretty Parasol! I've wanted her for a very long time :) Twinkleshine and her koala are the sweetest, and now I finally have my very first Tiny Tin- Bumblesweet! These are just lovely!

But it's still not over! Marigold also got me a bunch of pony prototypes! And they're all totally new to me! They're all gorgeous, I now have a prototype army!!! I love them all, thank you so much, I hope you didn't go through too much trouble to get them!

SO I think I win for longest brag, but this box was so worth it. I had to mention everything because I just love it more than I can show. Thank you so much for being an amazing partner, Marigold, you definitely made my whole month and more!

Wow Marigold really went all out! Congrats!

Fine, Marigold. Fine. Outdo us all. ;)
But seriously, wow.... what an amazing box. I admit I wouldn't get as excited over girly viruses, Luna moths, methyl what-nots, and deer moss, but then again, I'm not MidnightMocha. I mean, talk about shopping for your partner! You really did your research! And then there's the handmade goodness. You are so multi-talented. Again, wow. :blink:

She totally is! I mean, this box is just...well, it's ME in a box! It's really touching because as a scientist, I feel like in order to make it in the scientific community which is male-dominated, we have to repress the femininity a little bit to be taken seriously (sad but true), and so seeing this hybrid of stuff just makes me so happy and really reminds me of why I love doing what I do! Marigold using her talents for amazing things :)

I can't claim credit for the handmade things. I have a friend who helped me with them. The molecule...do you want to know what it is? It's totally cool!
The Luna moth card was from the random swap. You're the first person to receive one from me. I love lunas.
I was able to spoil you with ponies because I already had doubles of most of them. And Ren Ren helped me find a few. :)
The moss was a last minute addition and I wondered if you'd get the irony of the cinnamon box. I love cinnamon, hee hee. I was hoping you'd like the moss. I love the stuff.
Most...actually nearly all of the crystals come from my collection. :)
We really have lots of the same interests. I love science. So this was easy and I went overboard because I had things already that I could add in.

That's just awfully sweet of you! I love moss, stones, plants, ALL things nature and green! And I did get the irony, that's why I zero'd in on it- what are you doing here, fiend???
I totally want to know what the molecule is- is it cinnamaldehyde? :P I tried to discern the structure but it eludes me!

From wiki: Crystal violet or Gentian violet (also known as Methyl Violet 10B, hexamethyl pararosaniline chloride, or pyoctanin(e)[2]) is a triarylmethane dye.
They use this to stain cells on slides. I always thought it was cool.

Ah yes, Crystal Violet! I've used it before :) AH it's an arylmethane! That's what I forgot...I was like trimethylhexane?? but that makes so much more sense now! And so much more creative that's it's made with crystally-violet beads- WOW!
For those with no idea what we're on about-if you ever see cell or tissue slides and they look purple, that's because they're stained with this dye to make them easier to see their membranes and such!

SeaStar, I forgot to brag about my blind bag. It was translucent Fluttershy!

Wow Marigold! You put together a really awesome box. The handmade virus is VERY CLEVER! Love it! :D It's the girliest virus I have ever seen.
I got my amazing box from grasshackgirl! I finally was able to open it this evening after I went home this morning and just crashed. This box hits every girly aspect about myself. It's so ME! I cannot wait to share these pictures.
Here is the box itself with a decapitated Pinkie Pie on it. I had to angle it where you don't see our addresses, so sorry for the awkward photo. But you can see how bit the box is with the comparison.

All the gifts on our coffee table. I really adore the cute little anime-like stickers used on them. Very cool!

And now time for what's inside all these bags of awesomeness. Pics are posted in the order I opened them.
Look at all these Little Pretties! The green kitty is one of my most wanted. I never expected to get Little Pretties in this swap. I am thrilled!

And some amazing SHS ponies! The accessories in their hair are so very gorgeous! My set of glittery SHS ponies is now complete. That makes me so happy because it's one of my favorite sets! Glitter is awesome!

Lots of random goodies! Anime themed and Japanese, two things I adore. I am really excited about the Sailor Moon figure! I don't own a lot of Sailor Moon merchandise so any is welcome. Debating on whether to open her or not.
I cannot get the picture to work with me! I dunno how to fix it.

And last but certainly not least, this very, very unique 3DS XL case. I couldn't believe it when I opened this. It's one of the most unique items that I've ever seen. I am torn between trying to use it or not. It's a case you can put on your 3DS XL to protect it, but I am more concerned about protecting the case itself. It's an amazing piece of artwork that someone had to spend a LOT of time on. It's gorgeous and I would hate for something to happen to it. It fits my XL PERFECTLY and looks great on it. But I am not sure if I should use it or not. Regardless, it has a place on my dresser now where I can always look at it because it's so pretty.

Thanks so much again grasshackgirl! I was absolutely enamored with my swapbox! You did an amazing job and hit many of my tastes and likes. :D I can tell you put much thought and time into it.

I wasn't even a part of this swap but I'm having a blast looking at all of the amazing packages!!! :dribble:

Congrats Dazzle! It's cool that you got items to fulfill multiple collections AND you have finished you glittery SHS set!

Way to go Grassshackgirl...you Dazzled Dazzle! Excellent box.

Dazzle that is an amazing box. Those Little Pretties! I really like that case too. I want to eat it!

My sister's kitten like a typical cat came running when he saw the box. He kept rooting around among the gifts so i quickly pulled everything out and then my sister stuck him inside and closed it up. As I unwrapped the gifts I dumped the wrapping in the box. This kitten is happy as a clam burrowing in things.

Everything that was inside. The wrapping was so adorable! And the plush cupcakes! And the little butterflies were a nice touch ^.^ There were Dove chocolates in the pink wrapped packages and they were a bit melty so i popped them into the freezer.

Perfect extras! The headbands (with birds and butterflies!) and hairclips are just what I like to wear! I'm totally sharing the Harajuku stickers with my sister, the rabbit coin purse is too darling and love the rose soaps. I gasped at the frilly pink saddle. It's sooo gorgeous! It's going on my Desert Rose. You are soo talented Eternia!

Ponies! And more beautiful Oat Couture ponywear! Lovely Stripes in the back is wearing "Alice" and adorable pinafore type dress which I must find another pony to model because her Stripes' pose dosen't display it well. (Bad me for no closeups) SLH Wing Song is a fav since her symbol is a butterfly and I'm stoked she has her crown and barrette and comb and baby Goody Gumdrop came along! Was really happy to see Rainbow Flash because twice i've gotten her in a lot of ponies and she's had her hair chopped off. My favorite ponywear piece was "Marilyn" modeled by Ruby Lips it's just so flowy and elegant!

Wow, these swap boxes are so cool! I can't wait to join a swap someday.
Congrats on your brags. <3

Yay I'm so glad it arrived safe and sound; I was waiting ALL day for you to post your brag! :P I wanted to try something different with your case so I added lace to the bottom to make it more girly. The Little Pretties came in a lot I won off eBay. I'm over the moon ecstatic that you :heart: your box. You were really fun to shop for. :tackleglomp: :tackleglomp: :tackleglomp:
Fabulous boxes Ninamarie and midnight mocha! Now to wait for my box to roll in! :sendmail: :sendmail: :sendmail:

I love these brags! this swap has me all warm and fuzzy inside- and everyone has done such a great job with the boxes. seriously, you gals are amazing.
midnightmocha- the girly virus is soooo cute! XD all your extras are so unique- love the stones and the moss. terrariums are awesome. and so many prototypes! marigold, you really outdid yourself.
dazzlekitty- your box has so much cute!!! so many foodie things XD
ninamarie- oh my gosh that kitty is too cute XD I'm glad you like the ponywear! I have so much fun making it :)
-
I'm so glad you enjoyed your box Seastar! I did not make the little trinket box I found it at World Market they have loads of neat things. I did make the bracelet and rose hairpins and chose the colors based on what you said your fav flower colors are. It was totally my goal to try to get you almost complete with the Sundae Best! Wish I had been able to get the 4th for you.
Eternia - you did good research on me. The G3 saddle was perfect because it's pink and frilly with a rose and a bit of shiny, if I was a pony i'd so wear it XD
-
Major Congrats to everybody!!
All boxes look so wonderful!!
-
There's too many brags for me to say something about each one :lol: But they're all completely awesome and seem to fit each person so well :D I just love all the girly-ness! :hearts: Great job, everyone! :)

I received my box from DancingPhoenix today! :happy:
DP included a beautiful card. DP, please know that I am not a "stuff" person and every single item meant a lot to me. You were a truly fantastic partner. Everything was spot on. I loved it all! Several items will be making the trek to my office once the school year starts up again.
First, the candy. [Not pictured by accident: Hersey's Dark Chocolate Kisses]
I'm secretly an old lady. I love dark chocolate and licorice.

Stickers! Kitty cat, cutesy food, and MLP.

Cat toys! Al loved them. He says, "Mow, Meow" to your kitty. I think that means "thank you."
After these pictures, he decided to tear around the house with the pom-pom ball toy like a maniac. :P

Dear partner, every thing was wonderful. Could I get your permission to use your custom pony as my signature?
:newpony:
-
Wow, Babushka! The ponies are definitely the stars of the show here! Although, those treats sure do look delicious, mmm....
That plush AJ is absolutely adorable. I only have two MLP plushes myself, one is Rainbow Windy and.... I forget the other one. Cherries Jubilee, perhaps? Anyway, your Applejack is a cutie patootie. :heart: The UK Flower pony is also gorgeous (perhaps my fave from the set), and mama and baby Bright Bouquet look super sweet together. As for that custom, wow! What beautiful work, DancingPhoenix. The flower cameo symbol is awesome!!
Congrats on such a great box, Babushka! (although I can't believe you didn't save any Hershey's Kisses for me, hmmph!) :hmm:
-
That custom is gorgeous! I love those colors, and that symbol is really pretty! Grats Babushka!
I received my box from the awesome Midnightmocha! :frolic: :frolic: :frolic:
First was some cute butterfly clips and a Rilakkuma keychain :heart:

Thanks again Midnightmocha for the girly, sweet, awesome box! I loved everything, and can't wait to try the soaps! I think I'm gonna store them in my drawers sweeten up my clothes, lol :P.
-
*hugs Babushka* I am sooo happy you loved everything. The second I saw you were my partner I was like "cameo custom pony". She was super fun to make, and no she doesn't have a name. I just referred to her as "flower cameo pony" haha. I'm sorry her head doesn't turn, while making her we were moving a ton of stuff around (have people working on the house so my former art room was moved) and I lost her neck plug :P
I was honestly more excited to see your brag than I am for my own box! I am so overjoyed that you love the custom and necklace that much. And of course you can use her for whatever, she's yours now!
-
Wow, Grasshackgirl... all your extras look so edible, even the non-edible ones, lol. ;) You got Starbeam Twinkle?? So COOLL!! I love her crown. :heart:
Great box, MidnightMocha!!

Everyone's brags look great! Apologies mine has taken me so long. I got my box from the lovely Partypony. It was a mysterious long box full of goodies. Here is the box before everything came out:

and then here it is afterwards!

there were loads of ribbons (which I am going to be putting in my ponies' hair!) and streamers and general shiny prettiness.
I was spoilt with lots of stickers and stationery

and some tasty snacks!

Partypony made me a really cute Snuzzle to go on my fridge! Here she is, nestled between the rabbit with scissors for ears and the statue of liberty with a thermometer in it.

Next we have jewellery! I love nautical-themed items, so these were all spot on. I am wearing the bracelets and the small necklace at the moment, though I think the HUGE ship is brilliant. Haha. I have an anchor about that size as well actually.

Last but not least - ponies!!
I've been meaning to get a hold of a Bridal Beauty in good condition for ages (she was part of my childhood herd) so I'm so pleased with this one. I have also been looking for a Diamond Rose - I passed her up a while ago in a shop and have regretted it ever since.
I'm really glad to get Dangles as I have a new fondness for the little chubby newborn ponies :biggrin: so cute. I love the Sweetheart Sister ponies but Fancy Flower is even prettier in person.

Partyponys, I still love your streamer gift wrapping. :)

So far nothing has arrived there. But I can't wait!

So far nothing has arrived there. But I can't wait!
I am also on vacation but will be returning in two days, so hopefully my box will be there by then so I can brag! And partner, don't feel badly about being late because I'm away from home anyhow. It will be nice to return to a box because it will be sad coming back from a nice trip XD
Partypony: you are too kind! I'm thinking I'll start some commissions after the Fair. I will have a booth there, so right now I'm focusing on that work before I take any commissions or anything :blush:
-
Not sure how I managed to miss a few brags?? :blink:
Dazzle, your box from Grasshackgirl is really cool! I love how she included all those Little Pretties and fun Kawaii extras, and the ponies all look super minty and with such nice hair, ribbons, and accessories. :)
NinaMarie, cute kitty!! Eternia did a good job coming up with lots of girly extras. I am intrigued by the rose... what is it? And I so want to steal those ice cream lip balms, yum!! I LOVE stuff for my luscious lips, lol. As for the clothes, you made those, Eternia? They are so pretty they even outshine the ponies! ;)
SeaStar777, your box from NinaMaria is also way cool. I am lovin' all those cupcake extras. And cotton candy Pop Rocks? Someone send me some! :P I like your ponies but I'm not a huge fan of the Sundae Best ponies -- the G3s are cute, though!! Especially Lolligiggle. I don't have any of the Easter G3s myself yet -- someday!!
I know I commented on Babushka's and Grasshackgirl's brags, but I somehow skipped over Enolaalone's brag from Partypony. I love how all the colourful ribbons on top look like a fireworks display. Glitter, stickers, stationery, decorative tape, yummy snacks, a lovely pink scarf... and a hama bead Snuzzle!!! ^.^ I really like the sailor-themed jewellery, too. You got Diamond Rose and Frilly Flower w/ super pink hair -- awesome!!
Congrats on sending (and receiving) such great boxes, everyone! Can't wait to see the last two!!

We have 3 more brags :p I haven't posted mine yet!

gifts 1-4 were in this trinket box, and they are from antique stores. Babushka, you have me so well figured out!!! I love each thing here. The owls are especially dear to me, my grandmother was obsessed with collecting little owl figures and I seem to have inherited the same habbit. The rose earrings are so so perfect- I can't wait to wear them to work!

Gorgeous wrapping! Those little owl figures are too cute :) I really like the feather with the pearl on it! Princess Pristina! Wow, she's gorgeous, one of my favorite princesses :dribble: I really like Bashful Bonnet and Flower Bouquet still has pink hair :D Awesome swap box! :frolic:
-
Very nice box Eternia, congrats! My sister would like the owl figurines.
-
We have 3 more brags :p I haven't posted mine yet!
I was going based on your shipped/received chart, not on the number of brags, otherwise there is no way I would have been able to guess how many we had left. ;)
Speaking of which, that looks like a lovely box Babushka sent! She seemed to do a really good job shopping to your interests. I love the owl figurines and the salt n' pepper shakers -- too cool! Princess Pristina looks, well... pristine! I don't yet have her in my own collection, but I can see why she is so sought after. Gorgeous!
Yay for another awesome brag. Can't wait to see the last two now! ;)
-
What a gorgeous box! I love all the adorable lil owls!

I am so glad you loved everything, Eternia!
Pristina was so pretty . . . it seemed worth it. Everyone needs a little princess in their box for this type of swap I think.
I'm also glad the owls were a hit. Luckily for us, owls were quite popular in the 1970s, so I was able to find a treasure trove of figurines in my antiquing adventures.
I hope you adore Ms. Sunrise and the rest!
:hug:

Awesome boxes everyone!

Beautiful!!!

wow this thread is so awesome, i knew i really wanted to do the girly swap but had no time as i was planning a wedding. everyone's gifts are so gorgeous, big congrats all

First, I'm sorry I've been absent. I returned home on Friday and we've had power out here since Thursday night I guess due to a series of really bad storms. I'm at my brother's apartment right now where there is power so I can post my brag while I'm here! The box was waiting for me when I got home, and Lemontwist did an awesome job with my stuff. I am so thrilled!
First we have the box, so nicely packed!

One of those cool birds that balances on your finger, and those awesome cat magnets from ModCloth! The bird is so pretty, I need to find it a permanent place in my room once we move:

And some things that didn't get individual pictures include a tiny flower pot with lilac seeds (lilacs are one of my favorite flowers and scents), a page of adorable 3D bird cage stickers, and a flocked little book of crossword puzzles that I've actually been doing by flashlight to pass time in the evening :)
Thank you so so so much Lemontwist! It was all well worth the wait and really cheered me up considering I had to return to a bit of a mess. This is one of the best swap boxes I've ever received, and Sundance isn't yellow at all ;)
:lovey: :tackleglomp:

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing box! I especially adore the bracelet!
-
I want that bracelet! You got great things, what a wonderful box!
-
Oh wow that bracelet is amazing! Grats DP, and great job Lemontwist!
-
Oh I'm so glad you like everything! TAF Yum Yum was such a steal, I was thrilled to get it for you :happy: And yes I crocheted the flower for decoration ages ago and never knew what to do with it haha.
-
Yay, another brag - that bracelet is so cute! Love it!
-
yay! we only have one brag left...boo.
-
Oh I'm so glad you like everything! TAF Yum Yum was such a steal, I was thrilled to get it for you :happy: And yes I crocheted the flower for decoration ages ago and never knew what to do with it haha.
Everything is just perfect, and Yum Yum blew me away! I usually include her on wishlists on the off chance that someone might just have an extra lying around but I have certainly never expected to get her! And the bracelet is now on my wrist, I haven't taken it off (besides to shower) since I unwrapped it :)
-
Congrats DancingPhoenix!
-
TAF Yum Yum?! :dropjaw: How awesome is that?! All the ponies look stunning and I just LOVE that bracelet! What a neat idea :D Such fun extras too, great job Lemontwist! :squee:
-
I literally did things I'm not allowed to post about in my pants when I opened Yum Yum. Her tail is pinker than her mane so I'll probably do a little bit of repinking myself, but not much because she's got most of it still!
And this bracelet is like an exact fit, I'm pretty sure LemonTwist had spies that measured my wrist while I was sleeping :silly:
I can't wait to see your brag too Honeycomb! Saving the best for last I suppose ;)
-
So sorry for posting this late! I had a horrible flight because I caught a cold the day before and I got a fever and cough and when I finally made it home, I just wanted to sleep. It's getting slightly better now.
I loved everything my lovely partner lochness got for me!

The big dinosaur box in the back are Cookie cutters! Forgot to take a single shot of this. Awesome!
Thank you so much for all the wonderful gifts!!

DancingPhoenix, your box from lemontwist is awesome!! I love that bracelet she found for you -- so perfect! And the crocheted flower and Burt's Bees lip balm, mmm!! SS Sundance looks soooo soft (well, I know she's a So Soft, but you know what I mean, lol), and TAF Yum Yum.... wow!! Congrats on receiving such a great box! ^.^
Honeycomb, I'm so glad you like what I sent you, and more importantly, that you're feeling a bit better now. Rest up and drink plenty of water. Enjoy the time with your family! :hug:

I love that chameleon eraser and pencil very very much!!!!!

Oh, I forgot to tell you that I made the little amber-esque earrings since you mentioned that you are very fond of amber jewelry.

Awesome box, Loch! :yippee: Piccolo does have some awesomely pink hair :dribble: So vibrant! Cotton Candy is such a pretty G3 and I love Bluebelle. Great choices! And a MIB G3 too :D Those cookie cutters are just too adorable and I loooove the earrings Loch made :heart: Beautiful wrapping too!
