Title: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!
Post by: Rhini on June 24, 2013, 06:07:56 PM
If my assumptions are right, unfortunately my package is in leasing office limbo at the moment, but i'll start the brag thread preemptively for when I retrieve it tomorrow!


Let's see those awesome boxes people!!  :biggrin: I couldn't have asked to be part of a better first swap.

Nommies and a squishy! Both of which had to be retrieved from catfaces. Not broken open their treaties yet, as they've not sniffed them out. Dreamies must have better packaging than Whiskers ones :lol: Hair has been added to my stash and the charms have joined my feather ones I was randomly given by my dreamcatcher making friend :) My note had a lovely pony drawn on it, she had an ankh and eye of horus and everything!

ALSO: I'm going to Egypt in September! :D Might take Sugarberry with me :)

Post by: baby_yoyo on June 26, 2013, 04:14:41 AM
Awwww yeah!!!

Sooooo glad you like everything my dear you were a pleasure to shop for!!

Also glad eveything got there ok, I don't think there was any room left for bubble wrap!

My hubster was a great help he found Rainbow Brite horse / Snuzzle and Baby Northstar at our local market for an amazing price, he also picked up the pet treats (minus the cat food - when I was wrapping I went, ''we forgot cat treats!!!!'' so I rushed to out corner shop and thats all they had for cats :blush:)

You must let me know if that peanut butter tastes the same as the insides of the peanut butter cups, if it does i'm buying a jar :biggrin:

Also appologies for the stars overload haha!

So so so happy you like your box it was so much fun to do and I cannot wait to get mine now  :biggrin:

It's fantastic, i have a few customs in progress but once they're done i'm gonna be restoring them ponies, i already have ideas for one alternative rehair based on a shade of dollyhair i bought but didn't match the pony i wanted to use it on. It's bloody fantastic.

I got home this morning hoping it would be here but royal mail didnt bring it so i thought oh it'll be coming tomorrow so i got my starflowers from moonbreeze and then ding dong i go to the door big parcel as soon as i shut the door i ran to the bedroom had to fire up the laptop to charge the phone while takin pics it was insane wow. I likes the stars i've warned my boyfriend we're swimming in stars hehe

Wow I just......I really don't know what to say, what can accurately express the amount of gratitude I feel right now. I'm tearing up writing this, because I honestly think this is the most special and thoughtful box of gifts I have ever recieved in my whole life. Sunshine went so above and beyond and out of her way to make this box amazing that no matter how many swaps I do in the future I don't think any will ever come close to this. The perfect ponies, the beautiful custom and art, the perfectly thought out extras, the toys for my babies, all HAND MADE wrapping that was so beautiful....it was more than I could have ever hoped for. My friends watched me open everything, and they both agreed they need to give you a hug at the fair because you are the most amazing person ever Sunshine, and I'm inclined to agree!! I can't wait to meet you in person next week (eee!!) and thank you and give you the biggest most squeeshiest of hugs  :tackleglomp:

Thank you thank you, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! :hug: :hug: :hug: I really can't say it enough, I am so touched and ecstatic by these gifts.

:lovey: :heart: :heart: :heart:

wow what a lovely swap box congratulations!!!!

I think your right Rhini no other swap will ever compare to this one, we've all spoken so much and had so much fun together in this swap and we are all getting amazing boxes. I'm gonna need therapy in a few weeks because i guarantee that when this swap is proper over i fall apart missing you all.

Baby Yoyo Reeses peanut butter is gorgeous i think if you had one slice choc spread and one peanut butter it would taste exactly like a peanut buttercup lucky for me Mike don't eat peanut butter so I can scoff it all up hahaha

Lemon drops body is in the pony spa and all my baits are decapitated ready for Mike to pull out the hair which he loves to do :) I've got the hair ready for one Peachy already it's a dusky pink kinda colour if i can whip up a similar colour for her hearts I'll change them to match too :) this is gonna be fun!
Title: Re: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!
Post by: Sunshine on June 26, 2013, 08:41:53 AM
Omgomgomgossshhh I AM SO HAPPY YOU GOT IT!
Oh yeah, I totally tried to play it cool, you know me! :cool: :biggrin:

I actually was more worried yesterday, lol hoping nothing or no-one had tried to snag your box out of the office, as you mentioned it was there... hehe :hug: Then I got panicky, "OMG she opened it and hates it!" But then I settled down, lol. Realized that was silly unless I had sent you a box of nothing. ;)

I am like... beyond smiling right now, I am SO happy that you liked it! ...I went a bit nutso with the sparkles and bows, haha, when you've got a glue-gun in your hand sometimes it's hard to know when to stop! I am SO HAPPY the chocolate didn't melt, lol that was my worst nightmare... and that everything seemed to be in tact when it got to ya, luckily we don't live far from each other ;) I am just super excited that you love it!! Oh and BTW - funniest thing I learned from shopping your wishlist?
Puppy in my pocket is abbreviated PimP... :haha: It was an honor and pleasure being your partner! I had such fun shopping for you!

*Side note: Totally looking forward to seeing you at the fair!! :hug: ANDDD the STL Pony meet too right?!?*

I think my absolute favorite pictures are the carnage shots, I giggled, because I know my kitties will be the same way with a "new box!" especially when it has packing material and wrapping paper in it! :lol:

Baby Yoyo! Your box to Raven is GORGEOUS! That Mug is really amazing and the ponies look fantastic. I honestly don't know if I've ever seen a jar of Reese's peanut butter, omgosh. I could eat that with a SPOON!! The ponies look great and I really love that drawing you did! :heart: I think it's cute how the kitties are all getting gifts too, lol

I think definitely this swap will be one to "live up to" in the future - I don't know if another swap has even hit 111 pages in their "shopping" threads, lol - we seriously ROCK.

Drumroll *brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
Who'sssssss Next?!? :green:

Phew! Now that I'm back home, it's about time I sat down and read this thread, and what a thread! These boxes are gorgeous! Mine has arrived at the post office, I'll be picking it up as soon as I get back home from ballet.  How can I sleep now?

Yuitsu, I'm curious, what's that pink horse-shaped thing in the last picture?

Raven, that's one gorgeous CP Applejack, and the Rainbow Brite horse is my personal favourite. Not a Rainbow Brite person, I wasn't really aware that such plushies exist, but she's super cute! Sunshine, I don't think I've ever seen a jar of Reese's either.

Rhini, that box is just… wow. Sunshine drowned you in gifts! What is more, I just learned I had PimP as a kid :lmao:

Alright, here's my pictures from the swap box that arrived today.


I couldn't show the box, because it had addresses on it, but it was a yellow silhouette of a pony and looked gorgeous.

Post by: mul-ta on June 27, 2013, 02:46:47 AM
baby_yoyo, what a gorgeous box! Yuitsu did an amazing job! I love the marine theme, and Dave's really cute. :heart:

Next up... AAAHHH MY BOX!! :faint: :drunk: :party: Summerlycoris, a few words on it… I'm so glad you love it! I went for a summerly (pun intended) fruits-and-flowers theme, because your wishlist permitted me to. :) I'm so happy to know CeeJay will be in good hands! The graphic novel (more of a short story) is a bit of a gamble, but I thought I'd go for it and send you a copy as you said you loved artistic things. I'm happy I was paired up with an artsy person as I love spamming others with pictures! Also, the card was really fun to paint and cut since it's pretty different from what I usually do. I don't remember ever using so much pink in one picture. :biggrin:

Do you remember that "really nice Posey" from the swap thread? She was a teaser in disguise. :snicker:

Here, have a picture of a picture of Posey:

Oh man it's all watercolors? That's incredible!! Amazing art Mul-Ta! So talented!

Same with the plushie! Much more than I could ever do! :biggrin:

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my art. Yep, it's all watercolors, except for the cover that has been cut into pink cardboard with a backing paper showing through. Talent? Maybe, but it's the thousands of hours of practice that matter more. :blush:

That Sweet Berry's an official G2 beanie, not homemade. There's no way I could make a plushie and have the nerve to send it to someone - I'm helpless with needlework. I gave her replacement ribbons, as she didn't have any when I got her.

Shenanigans, thank you! Don't worry, I'll be just in time to paint a little birthday something for you ;)

Rhini what an amazing box you put together!! I love the way you did groups of boxes like that!! And all the love for the kitties, so sweet!! :heart: Adorable how we have included the kitties - but let's be honest... our kitties were already getting something - THE BOX!! I bet so many kitties have been having fun in the empty swap boxes, lol! I know mine will be in there as soon, or maybe before, as it's empty!! :biggrin:

This has been such a wonderful swap! I am really loving it. There is SO MUCH THOUGHT in this! Holy cow. I look at each of the boxes that you guys got and I flash back to our long question messages and stuff, we really learned a lot about each other, and everyone's swap box is so unique! Amazing! I think everyone has done such a great job!! :cheer:

I picked up a lovely spring green box by Sokkis at the post office today. Along the way, she was a little insecure about her box, which made me feel insecure in turn… I've had fits of guilt over my ramblings in the swap topic and was afraid to be once again branded the stuck-up Person Who Likes Nothing Normal People Would. Well, I don't know about myself, but one thing is for sure: this swap box kicks butt. :heart:

And this is what I saw. A faint soapy scent emanated from somewhere inside the box, and I kept sniffing it as I unwrapped the presents. The spring green paper's really good quality and will serve me in the future.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Silky Slipper! She's my favourite Sweetsteps Ballerina because of her name and symbol. :dance:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I literally squirmed of joy when I unwrapped SNOWDROP! When I first started collecting, I found one at a flea market. Back then, I was absolutely sure that I wanted to concentrate on early ponies, so I traded her away for something stupid and ended up regretting it. I'd tell you what I got in that trade, if I remembered - but I do remember Snowdrop, and Sokkis sent her back to me! :heart: And a gorgeous one on top of that! This time she'll stay with me!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


And a lovely pink Honeysuckle who completes my flutters! I've already got a pair of repro wings waiting for her. I like her as a character as well.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Wonder what the Panini stickers in Sokkis' teaser pic were? Apparently, she spared a thought for my Lemon Drop obsession!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Next, I discovered the source of the scent: a set of fairtrade soaps in a lovely red and gold bag (my crappy photo doesn't show much). Sokkis, how did you know that I prefer solid soap to liquid? These are too nice to be used though, I'll be putting them in my wardrobe first.

Yum, Marabou mint chocolate. See how the spring green theme extends to the noms?

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Last but not least… remember the book teaser? I identified it correctly as the Finnish translation of "A Farewell to Arms." Sokkis explains she picked this particular book because it's set in WWI and she likes it a lot. Well, Sokkis, you could hardly have made a better choice. No, I haven't read it, but I have a friend with a good taste in literature who loves Hemingway greatly. It's probably thanks to her that I was tuned to interpret your teaser picture in the first place. Now I finally have to sit back and read what she's talking about.

Silky Slipper was supposed to be an upgrade. My old one's tail looked a little uneven. I had compared its length to Tip Toes and it seemed indeed a little shorter, but the new one's tail is exactly the same! This means I cannot give up on either of them. Welcome to my newly founded ballet troupe, Silky Slipper II (in the front)!

Finally, a group shot.

This has been an awesome group, but only now that the boxes are arriving I've realised the full amount of love and thought everyone put into them. Special thanks to Sokkis for my awesome box :hearts: and hugs to Cat for having made this happen! :hug:

mul-ta: Nice to know you liked your box. :heart: I was a little worried that there were only three ponies, but I at least tried to get as minty ponies I could. And I really hope you enjoy the book, 'cause I really did while I was reading it!
Title: Re: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!
Post by: mul-ta on June 27, 2013, 12:37:10 PM
Sokkis, it's very likely that I will enjoy the book. It's healthy for me to read novels recommended by others. Left to myself, I tend to choose ones with Prussians, lesbians or some combination of the two. :lmao: And no, awesomeness is not about numbers, it's about hair :P I guess my wishlist was a tad trickier than average and I think you did a great job. :hug:

I finally got home to open my box and it's from the WONDERFUL Court2882!!! OMG she spoiled me ROTTON! These are by far the best, most thoughtful gifts (next to Seashell and Bubbles which I got from Christmas from my father) that anyone has EVER gotten me! Oh, I have to share everything with you all, so here goes!!

Everything was packaged a colored so festively....and Twilight and Spike greeted me upon opening the box along with a personal message from Court herself (which my dog Pischer immediately claimed as hers!) Which just goes to show dogs are just as into boxes as kitty friends!

I feel that that Court found my thread about having lost an Italy Blossom and Cotton Candy to the mail monster somewhere between Europe and Canada, ones I had won in an eBay auction and was incredibly upset at never having received...it was very nice of you to find me replacements. I actually choked up when I saw Blossom...
But she wasn't alone!! Italy Bowtie came along for the ride!!

Thank you again, Court...you are an incredible, thoughtful, and wonderful swap partner! You are simply the best!!
And for my own partner, don't worry...your package will be mailed either tomorrow or Saturday....just doing some final touches on your custom and I want to be sure the paint is dry, especially with the humid weather we're having. When you see her, hopefully you'll forgive my being tardy :)

You're AWESOME Court!! :happy:

Seashell,

I am so happy that you are pleased. After you wrote that you had it in the car this afternoon I have been checking and checking to see if you had posted everything. I am so happy that I was able to fill your missing ponies and to find your grail.  When you mentioned in your wishlist that it was the one thing that you really wanted I knew that I had to find it.

As an aside, all the teas have no caffeine, as you mentioned that you can't have caffeine, so you can enjoy away!

As for Princess Crystal, pure luck! I had no idea which one it was, I just thought it would make a good extra. She must have known I was sending her for a swap. :)

I really am happy that you are enjoying your swap box.  And I LOVE your puppy.  I am such a dog person ;)

xo Court

Amazing boxes. I don't know what's more fun. Sending my partner's box out, getting my own or watching everyone else.

Post by: Sunshine on June 27, 2013, 06:01:50 PM
Court and Sokkis your boxes were absolutely lovely! There is a lot of thought put into all of your boxes, it's very obvious! And the care and detail to make sure your ponies were mint and beautiful, it really goes to show, it's about quality not quantity! The artwork and the well placed extras... This is shaping up to be a wonderful swap!!

:yippee:

Aaand now for my brag!  Sorry for the blurriness of the pictures, my phone was not cooperating tonight.  It seems to be a common thread, but my partner spoiled me rotten!!!

I have to include the wonderful note from Sky_Rocket_Sammie.  Midsummer night's dream is my favorite Shakespeare work.  And this is part of my favorite quote!

First you're welcome SparklerOasis. Second, phew! I was on a short budget and crazy busy with rl goings on during this swap.

Bodega Bay is an amazing place. For film buffs The Birds was shot there. I grew up in southern CA, so the beach has always been a part of my life. Figured you'd enjoy a local postcard.

Dragons Blood incense, that's my favorite. So I took a guess and thought you may enjoy it. It's not over the top heavy or super sweet smelling.

AJ was a natural to include, given I have a mini army myself. And you'd mentioned taking her along for errands.

The G1 ponies came together in a lot. I only did a bit of combing on manes/tails but left them as is. *The feels* about your childhood sea pony. Enjoy Seawinkle.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of my favorite's of Shakespeare. So it was easy playing on that theme. Actually I wanted to keep adding to that quote but ran out of room. :P

I honestly can't say thanks enough, this swap has been one of the few highlights recently, and especially this week!

I completely blew the mind of a few ladies I work with by being able to quote the ending part by Robin verbatim!   :biggrin:

Seashell, Court totally spoiled you rotten - that's a mountain of gorgeous ponies :faint: Amazing luck with the Filly Princess as well!

Sparkler, what great-looking ponies Sam found for you! I'm especially stunned by that Magic Star. Her flocking looks amazing!

Summerlycoris the card you got is amazing! mul-ta do you make that on a computer with a paint program or some thing, gosh that blew me away!

Nope, that's watercolor and color ink on hot pressed Arches paper. I wish I was better at digital art, but I'm not. Lol, I actually sent a Paradise Estate in a swap box :lol:

Oh wow, Snowdrop is a gorgeous pony. I think I'll be adding her to my want list.

What a great box! Congrats, mul-ta. :D

I know! What is more, I'm not a fan of the color yellow as such, but I repeatedly find myself liking yellow ponies best - Crumpet, Swirly Whirly, Bon Bon, not to mention Lemon Drop... and Snowdrop with her coral hair is really lovely and unusual.

Disclaimer: I had to take pictures on my phone camera, so they're not as nice as I'd like. SIGH.

As it turns out, my super-secret swap partner iiiiiis... OWLSY! OMG! I am the proud owner of a Figero and Cleo card~

I LOVE IT. I might tuck it in with my fannish posters and stuff for framing and hanging later. :biggrin:

MINTY IN THE CARD. She's wearing socks, aww~

A lovely Minty green-and-pink motif in the prezzies~

I OPEN THE FIRST BAG AND WHAT DO I SEE?

WHY, IT'S MEDLEY AND BOWTIE, STARING BACK AT ME! :freak: Medley is GORGEOUS and she's snagged a place of honor next to my computer chair. She's my first full-size G1 and aklsjfd SO MUCH PRETTY. I've been eyeing Bowtie for a while, too. Her colors are so BRIGHT and make such a nice contrast to her white body.

What is that next? Could it possibly be...?

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


A Fluttershy and Minty! How awesome for me~ :lol: Minty is SO PRETTY YAAAAAAY. Her hair's super-soft and vibrant - this one has light pink and even lighter pink stripes in her hair, and they're not faded at all, like her hair is wont to do. And FluttershY!! I really like G3 Fluttershy design. She's so soft and pink and spring-y.

Dropping the rhymes now, this was the heaviest bag, and a little someone was peeking out...

MORE MINTY!!! I haven't yet decided if I'm going to keep her in the package or not. I keep very few ponies in-package, so what I might do is take her out and upgrade her to my display keychain Minty and use my current one as an actual keychain. Which would be awesome, because Minty on the go!!

Dark chocolate and a pack of series 2 trading cards!

Medley got SO EXCITED about her new home that she ran into this shot of A Very Minty Christmas! I finally have it!! This might call for a little unseasonal viewing~ There's also a little coloring page and some stickers inside.

More stickers~ Pictured in one of my sticker albums, to be on the safe side.

Not pictured because her photos kept coming out all blurry (THE CAMERA HATES ME): LILAC LINKS! She has a gorgeous little color scheme, and the semi-transparent blind bags are pretty much my favorite series of them.

Post by: Ice Crystal on June 28, 2013, 01:24:19 PM
Oh, I'm so glad you like everything!! I had no idea Medley was going to be your first G1. That's so exciting!! I was happy to find her in such good condition. You were a lot of fun to shop for. :D

I hope the chocolate is good. I don't eat dark chocolate so I wasn't too sure what I was shopping for. I'm also curious to see which cards you get!!

Your Minty army is so cute! Minty is one of my all-time favourite ponies so I was excited to do a Minty theme. :D Ahhh I'm glad everything arrived safe and sound and that you enjoyed your box!!

:blush: Ack! I haven't been too active on the swap board as much as I would've liked. I'm taking a summer class and bumped up my work hours to nearly full-time. I was hoping nobody had noticed my absence. I've actually been lurking rather than posting. I think I managed to post a teaser a couple of weeks back and left it at that. xD

Sorry, guys!  I got distracted today by MY AWESOME BOX and haven't checked in in a bit.  Came home from stealing rocks for my new garden in the back and there it was!  I didn't even realize what it was until I opened it and saw this!

Oh, no!  Now I won't even know who it is while I open it!  Tricky, tricky partner!  The suspense is killing me!

First package!

So Soft Magic Star!  She's gorgeous!  Silky and clean.  Her forelock's been cut, which was awesome because I've been dying to rehair someone.  She was instantly dehaired and rehaired and is currently drying her innard-glue.  I'll post pictures of her finished later!  SO stoked about this one!  She's amazing!  I love her to pieces!

Second package!

Yum!  Suckers!  And man, I don't know what these kitty things are, but they are adorable and funny!  Love the erasers, too!  Makes me miss winter already.

Third!

My husband said, "You girls and your randomness."
Totally!  I laughed and reminded him I can't do anything BUT a ponytail!  And my current depleted stash is starting to lose their elasticity.  Also, thank you for getting the "Ouchless" ones!  My scalp appreciates it.  :biggrin:

Fifth!

Oh, Anthologia!  You were too good to me!  Love the Chi's Sweet Home kitties, even without knowing another thing about them   :lol:  Thank you so, so much!

This swap has been awesome, guys!  I love reading all our posts and checking in with everybody.  We should maybe think about doing an exclusive group swap another time.  We all rock!

Jinxxy and Rhini, I'm sorry you girls lost your menfolk.  *Sits down with Magic Star, rehairing supplies, and a dimebag.*  Sharesies?

Oh Gawds yes!! :D
*passes some brownies your way and forgets all about jerk men*

I am still trying hard to get the money to send. I am sorry I am so late partner, but I am really hoping my package is worth it.. <3

Wow, more brags!

anthologia, that's one minty box Owlsy put together for you! I love Medley too, she's one of the few ponies that survived the sale of my first collection.

amazonarabian, that's a really cute box! What's up with these gorgeous Magic Stars turning up in just about everywhere? XD

While it's fun to send and receive, this brag thread has been just as delicious, and it's not nearly over yet. I'm already looking forward to swap again in the near future. This has been such a great experience. :)

Well... I have NOT been making a list of who's partner was whoms... whose? :lol: To try and play the "Who's my partner" game! But, maybe someone is... or Cat, she knows who's shipped so technically she's got the "other side" to my list! :biggrin:

;) - only 4 boxes have not shipped as yet due to a couple of delays - some are coming international however so have a longer distance to travel.

GOT PACKAGE!! :lovey:

I was surprised at first coz I've been playing detective on who my partner was and thought I would get someone in the states (to avoid heavy shipping costs). I was totally stumped the whole time! Got ma package today by Chaosette! ^^ YAY! I was squealing and squeaking like a total juvenile in the living room when my mom made me open the package in front of her, she wanted to see everything as well. Anywhos onto the awesome stuff! Here is the first thing I picked up and mind you it was rolled up and had a pretty orange ribbon around it like a scroll.

Here is everything from a distance! ^-^ ~~

There was a pack of almonds but I ate that real quick. What can I say? I love snacks. The pinkie shirt is too cute and at first I was fooled because the shirt was in a box at the bottom of the package. Nice awesome box with a tea label, I was thinkin' it was tea or chocolate because of the nice coco scent! Maybe Pinkie came back from working at Sugar Cube! xD

More close ups of the ponies:

:P Omgerd Chaosette, you studied me well! Hahaha! Thank you SO much for everything, I enjoyed all the ponies and little gifts you got me. :hug: My favy out of all is the owl plush!! He is too adorbs! I've been eyeing the little snowy owl for a hot minute now every time I'm at stores! Snowy owls are my favorite species of owls btw. The paper cup n plates are super cute I'm afraid of using them! I love the mug you gave me, a little souvenir from a place I've been wanting to visit sometime now. :P I kept all the ribbons and the owl confetti btw. Teehee! Btw Chaosette, does your name mean chaos? 

Here is one last piccy of Mr. Snowy owl with his new Barred owl frand on my night stand ! :E

Anywho, yeah, made it up for that and I've always loved it and use it as my username for everything ever since :) I don't know French well enough to know what Chaos would be in French but I have many friends who I could ask...

Well, I was under the assumption that were were recieving from the same person we send to, and that we had to just keep it "hush, hush".. so I was like "OMG that box is MINE!"...so that's what I spend the majority of the swap doing...haha, now I have to re-guess XD

I thought that too Auroa! I also thought that about Courts packages because in her teaser mostly it looked all green.
They have found their homes already so it's not those.. hrrrrmmm.
Nice wrapping jobs everyone BTW, it is so cool how everyone has put so much thought into everything. I love how each box has it's own special look and theme... :D

My sending box on the other had... I think there might be a few suspicions as to who it's going to be sent to, :P I'm not as stealthy as the person sending to me I guess XD



I miss having dogs. My cat is my dog substitute though. He walks on leash and does sit, shake, and kisses on command, so he's close to being a dog XD
He will also be making an appearance in my pics/video thing when I finally figure out who my secret partner is :D

Obligatory box opening.

Super cute puppy Christmas card, and a postcard from Antique Archaeology! My partner told me a bit about where she lives. American Pickers is one of my favourite shows, so this was super exciting and very cool.

First up, sweeties! The lemon drops were taste tested (and approved) shortly after I took this picture. Dad immediately snagged the Snickers popcorn, so I'll have to be sure to grab some before he can eat it all. :P

THE GOODS! Some are obscured by the big blue package. Each package had an adorable little drawing on it with a clue to the goodies inside. The theme was Christmas in July (or June). Such a wonderful theme! Christmas is my favourite holiday, and I'm pumped to celebrate it any time of the year.

Now we have the ponies...

McPonies! Rarity for my army and Fluttershy for my boyfriend. He'll be so so excited! I have been looking for the 2011 Fluttershy for him for a while.

McRarity has a special place of honour on the very top of my Rarity shelf. Sorry for the shoddy camera photo. We'll just pretend they were blinded by the spotlight. ;)

Candy Cane and Hula Hula! Candy Cane has star-shaped eye shines!! I've had my eye on Hula Hula for a while. In addition to being a unicorn, her eye shadow and bright colour scheme really drew me to her. I'm so happy to finally have both of these girls in my herd.

There is one other pony, but since I was given specific instructions to open her last, I'll share her last too. ;)

Cute rubber G3 bracelets and Series 2 trading cards (with Rarity sticker)!!

Extras for my love of reading and doodling! Cute G3 notepad keychains, G4 pencils, and The Mystery of Ireta by Anne McCaffery. I've never read any of Anne McCaffery's work but I've heard great things so I'm excited to read this.

And last but not least, I had this package to open...

And inside was....

MIB SNOW'EL!! Snow'el is easily one of my favourite G3 winter ponies. I'd say she's straight-up one of my favourite G3s as a whole! Despite that, I've never had a chance to own one so to have her MIB is incredible, and what a surprise! I don't know whether I'm going to take her out or not. She looks so pretty as she is, but I also want to style her hair. Decisions, decisions...

And my partner was...
SparklersOasis!!!
You were a successful secret partner. :P I tried to make a guess as to who mine could be, but I was way off.

I forgot to take a shot of everything all together and my phone is charging now. :( But wow, I am blown away by this box. Thank you so, so much Sparklers! I wanted to take a picture of every little detail on each of these packages. Everything was so personal and touching. I don't even know what to say. It was just absolutely perfect and I couldn't have asked for a more fitting box.

Hahaha sorry pink, stole your thunder. I'm such a list freak. :yippee:

Also... technically... wasn't 6/28 the latest ship date? So it's not even like anyone who hasn't shipped is WAY behind schedule or anything... lol we all did just ship super early, haha... :lol:

Cron - What a box fulla hooters! XD That's Team Sneaky Lezzies in action, no wonder you were stumped! And on a more serious note, if only slightly: eeek, such lovely So Softs! I'd welcome them in my collection anytime.

You guys are blowing me away with these swap boxes. I have seen veteran swaps which are no where near as awesome in the content...dont tell anyone I think I love you guys the best :P
You could always explain this by newbie enthusiasm, but I believe there's a fair amount of chronic awesomeness thrown in. :P

Cron & others, chaos in French can be called chaos (m.)

I think the person sending to me has a cat (hehehe prob 98% of peeps in the swap has a kittayyy) =)
Lol, I'm in the 2% that doesn't have one and probably never will. I'm dreaming of a sighthound instead.

Jinxxy my guess for you would be Sokkis. . . I mean did you see all the green!!!! (and that is your fav color if I remember)
That was a great pick for me as well, "Vegas in a box" wouldn't be me at all.

Owlsy, what a cool box in every sense! Sparkler's leather work is simply gorgeous.

lol yeah I think most of us just got way excited and shipped as soon as we thought we could get away with it  :biggrin:. I personally don't mind waiting it keeps it exciting and means I get to play detective longer hehehe :cheer:

You haven't gotten your box yet, Rhubarb right? I updated the list I stole from pink to mark you as shipped... that puts us down to only 2 needing shipped still, or confirmation of being shipped! :) We're getting SO CLOSE!

*wonders if rhubarb pie might be her partner because she had her box shipped to her parents house, and doesn't get there until tonight* *giggle crazily at th thought that her partner was from the magical land of england*


eeeeeehehehehehe!

Hmm just went back and checked teasers... I don't think rhubarb pie is my partner... There's one more Canadian left and I have a suspicion it may be them.... Eeee hehehehe :) IM SO EXCITED NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE PARTNER I LAAAAVV YOU :D

THE SUSPENSE AND MYSTERY IS KILLING MEEEE. Hahahaha :) so I made a list of who's boxes have sent AND been opened (aka, it can't possibly be anyone's boxes who's left to receive)
Ravengusty
Court2882
Babyyoyo
Sunshine
Yuitsu
Multa
Skyrocketsammie
Sokkis
Owlsy
Anthologia
Sparklersoasis

... Now off to stalk the teasers some more (FYI they start around pg 49.. Haha we are crazy posters you guys!)

Chaosette, I noticed when you decorated your box, you did it up in your personas colours! Was that on purpose?

Post by: Chaosette on June 30, 2013, 12:01:22 PM
Ouuu jinxxy! That's so cool. I didn't even notice that, nope! Cron just listed her fave colours as purple and teal, and I had a theme crisis, so I just picked purple and ran with it haha XD
Title: Re: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!

All of the boxes look great.  It is crazy wondering who sent my box and when it will get here :)

Post by: Summerlycoris on June 30, 2013, 04:56:29 PM
I just wanted to let people know that I'd sent my partners box out on the 24th of last month, so my partner should be getting it soon. :)
Title: Re: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!
Post by: Chaosette on June 30, 2013, 05:01:06 PM
Yup no worries Cron I took lotsa pics!

I'm also all about the dogs :) but I can appreciate cute kitties! Also, ratties are awesome!

Wow Summerly! Did you have to send so far in advance cause of Australian shipping times? That's wild! Awesome of you to plan it so that your box would arrive around the same time as the others even though that meant less shopping time for you.

I'm almost home... So curious to find out if my box is waiting for me there...hehehehe...

I dunno if whoever is my partner is one of the shipped or not shipped, I still haven't bothered going back to the teasers, but, I think I'm gonna stay a mystery until it arrives...

I already signed up for a Private Swap with someone... I'm gonna be a swap addict... :lol:

To be honest, it wasn't much about planning, that was just following the international shipping deadline, where we had to ship by the 24th of June. ^_^;
(Also, I might have been a mistake, it's the 1st of July where I am; I sent the package in June. Sorry if I confused you Chaosette. )

Now it's my time to brag! I got my AWESOME box from Mirnyj, who did great job! This box was beyod my dreams, I never thought I could receive this much happiness in one box. :heart:

First of all, the box was LOVELY! Look at it!

And when I opened it, this is what I saw! How cool is that?! My own Hama Wind Whistler!

After that there was this pile of goodies!!!

These are JUST THE PONIES!!!

And these are extras... Wow someone's spoiling me for good!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Every pony had its own number, so I opened them in order.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Pony nro 1 was this lovely Peachy, Mirnyj had read that I'm missing the regular US Peachy from my army. Now I have her. :heart: I have 5 Peachies now!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Pony nro two made me squee. Skydancer. :heart:

I would have been happy just for these two, but no, there was more. The next one made me grin big time! Windy, so lovely lavender and in great condition!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Cause Mirnyj really spoiled me, there was more. Starshine is really white and lovely, I couldn't believe this all is for me!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


And then, she completed my Rainbow Ponies with really lovely Sunlight!!!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I mean, seriously!!! You COMPLETED my Rainbow Ponies!!! And then you did this: you completed my Cookery Ponies as well! Nice 'N Spicy, in nm condition!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Oh my god I almost cried, Mirnyj had been so generous and I had the extras left!

I did know that Mirnyj had made a plushie, so I opened it next. And believe me when I say, that this was the thing that made me cry a bit. My own G4 Peachy plushie!!! SO DARN CUTE! :heart: I love her to bits, she's unique and she's mine!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Then the extras. They were all awesome! This gal put a lot of thought in everything!

First of all, I got seeds. I love these flowers, but I don't have any of these on my garden yet. I think I'll put these to ground this month, they'll bloom next summer. :)

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


And then I got these cute G4 stickers!!!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


The plushie blew me away, one reason for that is the fact that she MADE it herself, but that wasn't all. She had made me this lovely tote bag!!!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


And our cats also got something. :heart:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


And of course there was sweets. ^.^ Om noms!

After opening photo of course, I saved almost everything! The box is going to be my treasure chest, it's so beautiful.

I'm really glad you liked everything, Sokkis! Especially the handmades. They were the gifts I was most insecure of, it means a lot to me that you like them so much.  ^.^ I read that your next big collecting goals were to complete these two sets, so Windy insisted to hop from my personal collection into yours. Don't worry, I've already secured a successor for her.  ;) I was super excited when that Nice 'N Spicy arrived and I saw her condition irl, she's so perfect that maybe she makes up for the smudges on Skydancer's leg. And the flowers are new to your garden too, yay! :cheer: Let's hope they'll grow well. :)

And to Cat - we're sleuthing! Muahaha! :haha: *snoops around* Checking Sokkis of my list as bragged... da da da... takes to.... 2 needing shipment, and 10 waiting on boxes, with 1 who has the box but waiting on the brag...

Do we leave swap feedback just like normal feedback or do we need to say anything special? :) Just wondering!

Sorry I wasn't making much sense, haha.

To give you an example for Chaosette, I put 'Newbie Swap' in the title and then my feedback afterword. :P No its ok. Funny too because I posted on pony corral about a concept to add a drop down selection for 'swap' in the feedback section. xD I think it would help bunches.

In regards to swap feedback, often the swap host will leave feedback for all involved once the swap is over.  It's usually just something along the lines of 'kiwimlp successfully participated in the newbie swap' or the likes.  You are welcome to leave individual feedback if you would prefer and feel free to mention the word 'swap' in either the title or the text.

Thanks for the feedback Cron :) :)

Hallowe'en reunion swap YES PLEASE! Whoever hosts should make sure we all have brand new partners. And we could comb through the old thread for answers to things and make a new one for new questions and AAAAAAHHHHHHHH :D

I had so much fun with this one. We are definitely a lively bunch! It would be awesome to do it again in the fall.

I'm down with Choas AND her enthusiasm! I think a Halloween themed reunione would ROCK...but I think maybe we could include the people who posted at the very start that they regretted not being able to join or not knowing for whatever rason, like not being here for enough posts? They seemed so sad that they couldn't rock out with us... Just a thought :)

Okay #1 - Thanks for clearing that up Kiwi! I think that's the kind of feedback I had seen before, wondering if it was placed by a mod or if that happened to be their partner, so now that all makes sense!! :biggrin:

#2 - A reunion swap would be AWESOME!! I know we would kinda "know" but it would be cool if Cat could reverse the partners somehow... but not tell us that's what happened... ya know?

#3 - I'm supposed to be getting all my ponies ready for the fair (even though I don't have a booth and can only sell before/after/outside the fair, they're ALL coming with me) and my fiance is snoring asleep on the couch... ARG! Anyone wanna come over and help? LOL! :lol:

I wonder who the next brag will be?!?! :freak:

Lol...I'm such a softie...this swap was just SO rocking and so many people were jelly! I guess if it's a reunion swap it SHOULD be just us, but maybe we could have a Biggest Swap of All Time Swap as well! That way we can keep our swap Jonesing at bay 'till Hallowe'en(or whenever)! :)

Finished fixing up my new ladies for their big introduction to the herd!

Here's Magic Star in all of her rehaired glory.  The green is a mix of Envy and Sour Apple Martini.  Then there's Electric Banana around the Pink Sugar.  Super fun for me!

Magic Star and Peach Blossom look great! :heart:

Well I'm leaving for the fair in like 2 days so I doubt I'll get my box before I leave... Ah well! A nice surprise when I get home hopefully! :biggrin:

As I'm getting my ponies all ready to come with me for any outside the fair selling, I'm realizing I'm going to have like 100 ponies with me... lol... maybe I need a booth in the next year or so! :P

In regards to swap feedback, often the swap host will leave feedback for all involved once the swap is over.  It's usually just something along the lines of 'kiwimlp successfully participated in the newbie swap' or the likes.  You are welcome to leave individual feedback if you would prefer and feel free to mention the word 'swap' in either the title or the text.

I imagined each participant was supposed to leave feedback for their partner, as required in the swap rules, so that's what I did. Cf. Arena Swap Procedures and Rules:

1. Each participant is responsible for leaving their partner feedback, upon receipt of your package.

I'm all in for a reunion swap, be it holiday, Halloween or something else, but I'd like to be a party pooper and remind you of a few things. First of all, if we want an organized swap, we need a host and cannot automatically impose the task on Cat. While this has been an awesome experience, we're enthusiastic, noisy and a legion to babysit = a lot of work. I believe some of our participants would technically qualify as swap hosts, but the question boils down to whether the mods give it green light. If we aim for a larger budget and a million participants (like if we're going to give other newbies a chance to join in, which as such would be fair but will easily result in a large swap in terms of number of participants), it's not guaranteed that they will.

SajiNoKami and others, here's a link to the swap competition OP. (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,330310.msg808496.html#msg808496) I've only come across one pony, but not a single clue has been posted either, so you may not be the only ones who forgot.

Post by: ravengusty on July 02, 2013, 01:10:00 AM
I wouldn't mind a reunion swap but i would depend on my cash flow at the time I'm doing a private swap with my penpal sometime after UK Ponycon so we'll see if I have funds.

It would be cool though  :biggrin:

And all my G1 shirts that I have still have tags on them (and seem very... short? length wise? one is a belly shirt, I'm like NO WAY lol!) so, I don't really want to wear them. Besides that all I have is a fair 2012 shirt, and I don't want to be "that guy", haha!

Post by: Sandra on July 03, 2013, 12:40:31 AM
Oh. My. Goodness.
I just got home from work a little while ago and found a big, beautiful, leopard-print package waiting for me!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

"I wonder what could be inside this beautiful package?"
Ignore the messy hair...

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

This is the first thing I saw when I opened the package. BREATHTAKING Fizzy artwork by none other than SajiNoKami! I was already speechless. This print is absolutely stunning! Fizzy is one of my favorite TE's (and one of my favorite ponies period), and this is just too awesome for words.

Of course, I was just getting started! I couldn't decide which pretty present I should open first, so I dived right in!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Behold, the ponies! I can't believe how much my lovely partner spoiled me with these. I got a cute little Blind Bag keychain (of Lemon Hearts), a Baby Firefly, Butter Pop, Dewdrop Dazzle, FS Fluttershy, and omg... LONG HAIRED RARITY! I literally squee'd when I unwrapped her. The ponies are standing on some gorgeous black lace that I can't seem to get enough of. But it doesn't end there...

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

These are all of the extras I found in the box. WOW! Have I been spoiled or what?!?! Stationary, stickers, TEA!, bracelets, an adorable little keychain (I'm still trying to figure out exactly what he is, he looks like a chocolate ice cream cone to me. XD), Dewdrop Dazzle's accessories, a pencil w/ a unicorn topper, an octopus Beanie Baby*, a mini coin purse keychain, a coloring/magical painting book (never seen one of these before)... oh my! And some gum that I'm currently chewing on. :lol: All of the tissue paper was so pretty and colorful that I decided to make a mountain of it in the background.
*Side note: growing up, I collected Beanie Babies and could never find the octopus despite always wanting him! Octopuses are among my favorite animals. ^^

SajiNoKami also sent a little unicorn plush. I already have a gigantic, fluffy unicorn on my bed that guards my room and now he's got a new friend to help him watch over Sandra territory.

And last but not least... I nearly died when I saw this. A My Little Pony ceramic! I don't want to pick favorites from my amazing box, but this one surprised me the most. I've been yearning for a MLP ceramic ever since I first saw them and this literally took my breath away.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Ceramic pony butt! Hee hee.

SajiNoKami, I don't know what to say. Thank you SO MUCH for this entire box. I could never have dreamed of a better swap! Everything was packaged so beautifully and everything you sent me just blew me away... I love every single thing in this box (including the AWESOME leopard print exterior!) It's 2:30 a.m. and I'm on this thread bragging about what an amazing box I got. That should tell you something! XD But seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I could not be happier right now. I want to see if I can frame the Fizzy drawing you sent me, because I can't stop looking at it. I have to display it somewhere!

I'm off to collapse into my bed now. :faint:

Woot! Your welcome Sandra.
Glad it went over well!
And you like the art... worried I wouldn't get it out on time.
And that the porcelain made it in 1 piece.
I studied your answers to get it just right.
Couldn't remember if the gum made it in the box.
Ice cream cone sounds good. No idea either.
Wasn't sure about the beenie baby, good to see it when over well.

Have fun at the fair!

My turn to brag a little!

My box arrived from Australia, sent  by Summerlycoris I believe. No card yet though, hope it will arrive soon too! :)

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


There was a party in my box!!  :newpony:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Here's everything unpacked. So many little gifties.  ^.^ First I opened the packages that were wrapped in tissue paper, as they seemed to be extras.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


The ice cream is actually a lip gloss, and that necklace is so bold and pretty! I just loooove the colors on it. The bracelet is beautiful too, but I think it'll find a better home with my sister, it's a bit too romantic to fit my style. :)

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Look what she had made for me!! A crocheted Wind Whistler!  :biggrin:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


The pony packages were numbered from 1 to 4. I was a good girl and opened them in order.  ;)

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


First pony was Blue Belle, my very first dollymix pony, and with a comb too! :D She's super cute!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


The second pony caught me by surprise. Look at this little blank flank! Such a lovely little lavender Ember! She's a doll, I love her.  ^.^

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Third pony was pretty little Licket Split. I've been trying to get her for ages, but never seemed to find one that would fit my standards. Now she's here and is happily reunited with her mommy. They have the parade place on my pony shelf.  ^.^

She saved the best for the last. Hula Hula!!!  :newpony: This is another pony that I've been hunting after for months! She's very very mint and even better, she's a set completer! One of my favorite sets has now been completed. Thank you so much Summerly!  ^.^

Thanks all...it's depressing, but I'm going to send the package tomorrow without the custo :( it'll be something for my partner to look forward to in a week's time. I have to remold and repaint a good chunk of it, (already molded) but on the good side it looks even better the second time around...maybe it was a happy accident after all! *keeping ridiculously positive despite crushing disappointment* on the bright side a pony I've been waiting for showed up today, so I have some new hair to brush! Nothing more soothing than that!
It's the new 2-toned pink Black tie Pinkie Pie...she's really pretty and again the pinks are way different and SUPeR soft! Never thought I'd have so many Pinkies! Lol

Now I kinda understand why she wanted to Wait to do her brag . I actually sent Sumire her box and she sent me mine! :cool: hehehe and we have quite a bit in common so no wonder why she did a fabulous job on my box! She hunted down amazing ponies which were all bought off the arena here!  I said in the card i sent in her box that her and I should do a private swap some time seeing as we have a lot of likes and interests that are the same . Sumire I know you worried about stuff (as we all did) but you did an amazing job ! Thank you so very very much :biggrin:

Lol, in a way I wonder myself, Im sitting drinking it and thinking "need a cold drink", but I'm seriously just addicted to hot drinks! Its nearly to a fault, like I can't function without a cup of tea first thing in the morning :lol:

We're getting the sun here too, it reached 21celcius today, scorcher! Great for sunfading is right, but we just never get enough of sun for me to have the patience :( I shouldn't complain though, I only moved back to Dublin last year, I lived in Donegal previously, and summer was more or less non existent..

I've had a heck of a week. Between the weather (100F plus), health issues and family. However am blessed to be around good friends. That includes you fine folks here at the Arena. I came home this morning to find my swap box.

Because I took a mess of pictures, seriously a bunch. Here's the album link.https://picasaweb.google.com/117851674685384017137/NewbieSwapBox

Am still getting over the shock of all the goodies. You spoiled me rotten. A few things that I didn't mention in the album captions.
-Sky Rocket (non TE version). Two years ago I had to leave a bad situation. Literally pack two bags and run. Sky Rocket was left behind. Never thought I'd see him again. Now he's home. :inlove:
-My dream classic car to restore/own is a 57 Fairlane. Not a fan of Ford's but this is my one (Shelby Mustang being the other) exception. She got me two of them. *dies*  :ohyeah:
-Love the bike 3D stickers. I don't have my own Harley but I'd like to co-own one someday. Those things are love.  :iconclap:

So ladies and gentlemen, let's give Sandra a round of sound. For being an amazing swap partner.  :yippee: Thanks ma'am.

Awesome boxes everyone.

Sam... Let's play a game. You're allowed to choose ONE Newbie Swap box for yourself, but NOT the one made for you.

.....

*runs away with Sam's box* :gallop:

Red, black, cars and bikes goodness = now where did the Arena put that drooling smiley again? I usually don't like the Gingerbread pose, but Sparkle Sky Rocket's color combo is beyond gorgeous. I think he's a he, too. :) It's a great feeling to get back a pony you've been missing. Sandra put together one classy box for you.

The chase is on! I'd snag Sandra's swap box. :p Or the one with the owl plushy.

Am all for a Halloween swap reunion. Fall and Samhain are my favorite times of the year. I love decorating my place for the season. Putting together a box would be just as fun.

So I have to insert a bit of an unrelated swap brag, I hope nobody minds.  I've wanted a horse my whole life, and now it looks like it might finally come true!!!  I went home to visit my parents for the weekend, their neighbor has some retired standardbreds he needs to re-home.  Meet Real Well, a 7yr gelding, out of Water Well by Real Artist.  He's, at best, half broke to ride, hasn't had a saddle on for two years.  He let me (a stranger) walk up to him and lead him out of the pasture, groom him, put on a saddle and hope on.  No bucking, no fuss.  He looked at me for about 10 seconds then was alright with it.  A slight spook when a dog came charging out of the house barking, but most green horses I've ridden would have dumped me in the ditch and been two miles down the road.  The best part, I asked him what he wanted for the gelding, and he said, 'happy birthday, he's yours!'   :stunned: :joy: :yippee:
Please ignore the horrid picture of me!

Congrats Sparkler! Best birthday gift ever.
Now that my dl has been pulled. I content myself, as a life long horse lover (and former owner). A license isn't required to ride one.  :gallop:

I'm looking forward to reading and seeing the other brags.
Who's left to receive their box and post about it?

*rolls around*

Sorry I've been neglecting this thread! I've been a very busy pony at the Fair and was only looking at the Fair board this weekend from my smartphone (stupid hotel's WiFi wouldn't compute with my laptop.)

Sammie, I'm SO SO SO happy that you liked your box! Some of your captions on the photos you took made me laugh. I noticed in your answers to the swap questions that you liked Fairlanes, so I jumped on that opportunity when I found the red and black ones. I especially enjoyed watching your cat inspect you opening your goodies. xD I was tickled pink when I read your post and saw the pictures you posted. I had so much fun with your red-and-black box! :)

Don't feel bad, Cron...I was only just able to ship on Friday, myself. Just makes it a little more spread out for bragging, and everyone LOVES the brags!!

I just have to brag about meeting the AMAZING Sunshine and Sandra at the fair this weekend!  :biggrin:  :cheer: Sandra joined my friends and I at the zoo Friday which was sooo much fun, we got to see a baby elephant play in the water! And Sunshine brought me Barnacle who completes my US boys!! I also traded for a beautiful Molasses from her!

It was soooo amazing to meet you ladies, you are both AWESOME!  :hug:
Title: Re: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!
Post by: Sunshine on July 08, 2013, 10:52:11 AM
I had the best time being able to meet you and Sandra too Rhini! I was really overwhelmed by your gift, and I didn't even SEE the Applejack picture in there until last night! (It got like wedged under the lip of the bag, but thankfully not bent or anything!) - so I have to like quadruple thank you again! I can't wait to get some frames and get those up on the wall!

So, brag from the fair - *I* was lucky enough to get some amazing art from Rhini, including the absolutely BEAUTIFUL Minty that is her avatar right now, Flurry, Mimic and Fifi and Applejack! :heart:

I absolutely fell in love with everyone's custom made stuff and artwork. I thought for sure I would have no interest in that stuff (not because it wasn't awesome, but because I never collected like custom artwork or anything like that really), and it turns out that those kinds of items were probably my favorite thing about the fair (merch-wise, the people were my FAVORITE part!! :biggrin:)!!

Just a swap question... has everyone shipped? :huh: Just wondering where we stand since my list has become a little outdated since being gone this weekend, lol :hug:

Thanks again Sandra. Samhain is a hound dog, for a cat. :P He loves getting into things and begging for attention. Honestly he thought the box was for him. Hey, he is black.

I'm a huge classic car aficionado. If it isn't Chevy's or my Fairlane's. I'd happily restore a 56 T-Bird (a nod to my mom. That was her favorite classic car).

Yeah who hasn't received their box yet? I'm itching to enjoy the unpacking and bragging.

My list of our swap isn't updated since I was gone...

So, I dunno. Me and others. LoL, still a decent bunch of us waiting for our boxes :)

I'm so glad I got to meet you guys. I totally wish we would've all taken a picture together! I didn't really take a picture with anyone at the Fair other than my boyfriend. Boooo.

I wish I could have gone to the fair just for the people! Would've been so cool to meet and chat with everyone :) man I'm antsy about my package...I hope my partner likes it! *dances around like the Potty Dance*

So far no swap box for me either yet...

I got a message from Cat so... everyone cross your fingers things are okay with my swap box, hehe - but more importantly, with my partner! I worry about them... :( Wish I could give them a big hug!!

Also, I am posting another brag here...

When I got to meet Rhini at the fair... (I was actually stalking her booth because she wasn't there the first few times I went by, lol) she surprised me with an amazing, and totally unnecessary but beyond thoughtful and sweet thank you gift for her swap box that I sent her! :lovey: It was totally out of the blue, and like I said, wasn't necessary because I totally had THE BEST TIME shopping for her as my partner in this swap!!

Here are my wonderful surprises!

The Minty print is SIGNED :cheer: (Why didn't I make you sign them all darling? :P I dunno!), and I traded for the small prints (minus one, which was part of the gift) for a Candy Cane Molasses!

I was LUCKY that she was looking for a Barnacle and I had a very mint one with me... so that I could at least give something in return for the amazing gift-bomb, I hope you love him, haha! I was overwhelmed by your kindness and thinking of me and for the gift! I can't say thank you enough! :hug:

PinkAurora, I'm so pleased that you liked your box!  I'm a big Once Upon A Time fan too so I'm thrilled to encourage my fellow fans!  :)  I made the cupcake keychain too so just a heads up, don't get it soaking wet.  ^^;  It can be wiped down with a damp cloth but it shouldn't be submerged.  Anyhow, at long last my brag post!

First up a perfectly pink haired Posey and some lovely stickers I'm sure she'd enjoy!

Razzaroo posing on top of some adorable box art!

Baby Brightbow! I just put you in a box and mailed you to PinkAurora!  I love rainbow haired ponies and she's so adorable!  I think she's mintier than the one I sent you though...  :blush: Oh and that's Mystik lounging in the back, he has to investigate anything done on the floor.  :biggrin:

Pony themed jewelry!  :frolic:

Pastel Sanrio stationery goods!  Perfection!

Sandwiches for ponies!  In case you are wondering they are lettuce and tomato sandwiches (Mystik knocked one around and ended up taking it apart -- it's easily fixable though! -- so I know their inner workings) and what could be better for ponies?  (Magical ponies of course since I think horses really shouldn't eat tomatoes...)

Now Mochanut can finally be reunited with her big sister Tira-Mi-Su!

Oh my goodness!  It's a Birthflower pony!  It's my birthflower pony, September Morning Glory!  She's so special and wonderful!  Color me blown away!  My sister saw her and was in raptures too!

Aside from pony goodness these were my very favorite part of the box!  I love Kitty Cucumber!  I still have my treasured stickers from childhood because I never could find things worthy of having Kitty Cucumber on them.  I collect paper dolls too so these were just so so so precious!  Thank you!

Wow!  Are we even half way through?

Blind bags!  With their bags and cards too!  I love this wave with their see-through bodies!

Everything all together!  I thought I took photos of everything but apparently I didn't because only here can you see the key necklace (great minds think alike!) and the fact that we both sent each other the exact same lovely hyacinth stickers and strikingly similar notepads!  :lol:

Thank you so so so much for everything PinkAurora!  It was such fun shopping for you and I'm glad after all the worrying we both did that we each got a box full of stuff we loved.  Then again, for this swap that seems to be a given!  :biggrin:

Sumire I was wondering if your birthday was in September, mine is too we should do a birthday swap!!! I am glad you liked your box. I was kinda bummed I couldn't hunt down the accessories you wanted =( I hope your not disappointed .

Yep, my birthday is September 22, usually the autumnal equinox.  A birthday swap would be fun!  Don't worry about the accessories, it seems like they are the hardest to get of all pony things.  We didn't have a great deal of time and things like that take a lot of waiting for them to pop up for sale.

Thanks Sunshine, they are great and special and thoughtful!  You certainly live up to your username, you have been such a ray of sunshine throughout this swap, cheering people up, reassuring the nervous ones (like me), celebrating every box and just generally being our Newbie Swap one woman pep rally!  :biggrin:

I am the happiest girl in the world right now. I am laying in bed with ponies all over me and I can't believe how lucky I am and how special and amazing and great my partner was. Thank you again Seashell SO MUCH!!!

I'm so sorry I was late, Chaos and that I had to mislead you to get me off my trail! I did say to Cat that I'd be cool with someone from another country, but I never said I got one!! :lol:
I'm glad you like all your gifties. I know you're pretty new to collecting the ponies, so I thought I'd send almost every gen so you can decide which you like best :)
Title: Re: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!
Post by: Chaosette on July 09, 2013, 06:52:44 PM
You sent me every gen and all kinds of different sorts of ponies and ohmygosh! What are those two little unicorns with the poofy hair? Are they mlps? And is that a sailor moon comic, was I right? I looooved sailor moon as a kid :D
Title: Re: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!
Post by: SeashellnBubbles on July 09, 2013, 07:01:07 PM
I have no idea what the unicorns are! Lol...I just thought they were way cute and maybe they were fakies you wouldn't mind getting, even though you said you don't really like them. The Sailor Moon comic I can't read either :lol: but I LOVE the pictures and I'd sit for hours making up my own stories with my neice and teut other cultures (especially since it's writtne "backwards" as she says!) I have a few of them, so it never gets boring and she'll pretend to read them to her little brother, which is adorable!

Wow Chaosette!  You really could bury yourself in ponies!  SeashellnBubbles I can't wrap my brain around what your box would be like if you weren't grappling with work and stress and heartbreak -- would you just have bought Chaosette a toy store?  ;)

The manga is actually Wedding Peach in Chinese.  It came out around the time Sailor Moon did and they are often compared but I think they each have quite a different feel and I love and collect them both.  If you'd like to learn more about the plot check out this link: http://members.tripod.com/~momoko_/ (http://members.tripod.com/~momoko_/)  I know, I know, tripod, really?  And it hasn't been updated since 1998?  Well, it came out in the 90's and Wikipedia's article is pretty lacking in my opinion.  ^^;

Nice swap box Chasoette!  :iconclap: Love G4 AppleJack and G1 Up Up & Away. That fishing game is fun! I had one just like it when I was younger. Be warned those little plastic fish are tricky! Almost as sly as real ones. :P

Related to my swap brag. Here's an album of classic cars. Yep, my Fairlane is first. :) https://picasaweb.google.com/117851674685384017137/RealLifeHotWheels Everything but the last picture was from Hot August Nights. Held each year in and around Reno,NV.

So everyone can understand why I was going crazy  :freak: about the HotWheels. That Sandra sent me.

Post by: SeashellnBubbles on July 10, 2013, 05:19:05 AM
Thanks Sumire! Since I found them mixed in with English Sailor Moon books I assumed they were related...like a spin-off of sorts. They all do seem to have a wedding theme. Can yoyou read them? Is there an english translation of them?

LEGEND OF THE LOVE ANGEL WEDDING PEACH! You can totally find the translation for this and the anime in English as well, Just search for Wedding Peach. Wedding Peach was sort of the successor to Sailor Moon in Japan. It's very cute and funny.  :biggrin:

Oh lord, I think I remember going to this site sometime back in the year 2000...I suddenly feel so old.  :shocked:
I agree about Wikipedia. Wedding Peach just doesn't have the same kind of cult following as Sailor Moon, so it doesn't get the sort of love it deserves.  :heart:

If you really like it that much, Chaos, I don't know how easy they are to find or how much they cost (got mine @ thrift) but I'll send you another with your custom and the pony I *finally* received that should have been here 4 weeks ago for the swap. The spoiling has been doubled!! :lol:

Shell - yep! His real name is Bastardino, he's a Tokidoki Cactus pet. Now I have to get the kitty! I just saw it for the first time, and I LOVE the feeling of the Cactus dog. He's not so heavy and solid like the Unicornos, he's almost... foam but not quite. I love it!! :heart:

Loads of hair bands and pink too, all I have are boring black ones for work. Now I am gonna pig tail my hair in pink bands and go to work tomorrow with my hair like that  :biggrin:

Post by: Cron Sacchariferous on July 12, 2013, 12:58:13 PM
Yay! So glad that you like your stuff Jinxxy! Wish I could of gotten more but it was very challenging trying to shop for you since you have many g1's already. :P I got the frosting for ya because those are your fursonas colors, except the yellow part. xD
Title: Re: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!
Post by: Jinxxy on July 12, 2013, 01:33:38 PM
Oh gosh.. I am going to get some more pictures...
You really did get the most MINT ponies ever... I opened them in a dark room and could already tell that their hair was silky... but good lord....they're SPOTLESS!!

And the rat is hella cute :) How strange and circus sideshowy she is!

Mul-ta... you can call me Junxxy! It makes me sounds like I gots Junks in my trunk. ;D



Rhubarb-Yay! Now you have even more pinkies! I love that jewelery!

Title: Re: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!
Post by: Sky_Rocket_Sammie on July 12, 2013, 08:38:52 PM
Don't feel bad Mul-ta, I almost put Jangles for Jinxxy's name (no offense Jinx). :)  :drunk:

Not a Pinkie fan but she does make you smile. Enjoy all the pinkie goodness Rhubarb. And I love flutter Morning Glory, she was one of my childhood MLPs.  Also Pina's coloring is made of win. Seriously am digging those loud as heck colors.

That three eyed rat is awesome. But I like creepy or odd plush animals. You know, the under loved ones.

Post by: Sunshine on July 16, 2013, 02:07:56 PM
Yes babystargazer had them up in a customs thread of hers... I saw them in person at the fair but wasn't able to make a decision on them, so as soon as I got home, I contacted her, and lucky for me, they were still available. I think I am definitely buying more customs from her in the future... :biggrin:

Thanks for the compliments on them. I think it would be really cool to have a Mommy Barnacle made who was a SUPER deep midnight blue, so that the baby looks like a mix of the two colors. BSG admitted she didn't own a Barnacle so she was unsure of his body color but I think he looks great! :)

I haven't checked the mail today, I don't know if it would be too big to fit into my mailbox or not (I do have quite the sizeable mailbox, MOST packages fit in there)... and no sign of the postman...

I'm getting so nervous about my trip... and I am still worried about the swap box, I just... I even thought about making my fiance open it while I was gone if it came just so I could know it was safe, lol - and that my partner wouldn't have to wait for pictures. I could say, "Okay, now, photograph it when you open it, photograph everything wrapped, then photograph things as you unwrap them, post them in email to me, and I will squee and do a virtual brag, lol!" :biggrin:

Oh, Sunshine, I hope you get it!  It IS terribly fitting that you're the last of us, though.  I can't wait to see your brag when it comes! 

I was *terrified* something awful happened to my partner's box on the way to her house.  My husband was having to hold me back from starting to gather replacement ponies.  SO happy Court2882 finally has it!  Whew!  I feel lighter already.

Also my tooth is still killing me... I'm in agony. :(

:(  Hugs!  If your box doesn't show, I'll be happy to send you a 'replacement'  Hope the dentist is able to fix everything, I know how horrible it is having a hurt mouth.

Heck add me to kicking in a few ponies, if your box goes AWOL.

Sorry about the tooth Sunshine. Those things can hurt like heck.

I'm leaving tomorrow evening so, I can only hope it's here when I get home from the dentist... this tooth pain has been like... the WORST! I have tried everything from garlic to peppermint extract to clove oil to anbesol and oragel, ibuprofen, gin, ice packs, salt water gargles, my water pic and listerine... omg... just no ending. Now I have a big bottle of ZzzQuil in front of me, hoping I can take enough to knock me out so I can sleep before the dentist... :huh:

I haven't even started packing yet because I just couldn't get anything done today with this pain...
Title: Re: Our First Swap- Newbie Swap brag thread!
Post by: Sandra on July 19, 2013, 09:14:41 AM
:( I hope you feel better, Sunshine! I hope your box arrives today before you leave so you'll at least have something to help take your mind off the pain in your tooth.

Thanks! I made it to Denver... 1/2 my flying is over (the flying doesn't bother me, it's being stuck in a place for a week where I don't know a single person that's making me so nervous, I'm not... outgoing, LMAO) - I'm already wishing it was the 26th, lol... I miss my kitties and puppies, lol! (oh and my fiance too, lol)

YAYYYY :cheer: :green: Everyone I got my swap box from my amazing partner, Jinxxy! :heart: :yippee:
This is SUPER PIC HEAVY!! :lol:

As mentioned, after the whole "delayed box, no box, what's happening with a box" whole snaffoo, I actually had a chance to talk to Jinxxy and make sure that she knew I personally have no hard feelings about the whole thing. Sure, there were some rough patches when I felt a little down, but I also knew that there are real life issues that always need to be dealt with first because, we all know, life is more than just ponies. :biggrin: So, I was super happy to hear from her, and after today I realize part of the reason that it took so long to ship out... the box cost a fortune, and she spoiled me rotten! :dropjaw: Like absolutely rotten...
-Also, as a side note, I hope that you can find time to come back to the Arena Jinxxy, I know we all miss you and want you to come back! You're a great addition here. :hug:

First off, the box was sitting on my doorstep this morning, and it blew me away! I hardly wanted to open it, I mean... check out the super amazing amount of time and care put into decorating the box to look like the water, and a bunch of STURGEON (my absolute fav. fish ever! :lol:) swimming around the box!

First off, the yum yums! Not only for me (and omg - so funny, goldfish macaroni?! I've never seen such a thing. You better believe this is my lunch today! :biggrin:) but also some Temptations (and perfectly Tuna flavored!) for my kittehs! They serious DIE for Temptations! I had to sneak them out of the box and into the cookie cabinet before my one alarm cat, Mo, sounded off and let everyone know it's Cookie Time! :lol:

And more super fun silly extras! There is a beautiful GREEN Carebears Coloring Book (unused! and of course, Green = Jinxxy!) which is super cool, I definitely used to also watch Carebears as a kid! :biggrin: - really pretty stickers that I will DEFINITELY use, I can't even wait to bust them out and get more packages out because I sent them on business cards and stuff, lol... so fun! Horses and fishes! Also my dog tried to snatch the weird little google-eye guy! No way doggy, she's known for tearing things up! :blush: And a Fishy Plushie!! :heart: And some more wonderful Jinxxy Art - I'm keeping this as a bookmark!

Then I opened the card - it was a gorgeous print called "Wildheart" - of elk(?) like a white elk and a baby, or perhaps deer - it's so beautiful! and inside was an AWESOME Sturgeon vinyl (car!) and some koi fish stickers!! :heart: I love their shimmery-ness! :biggrin:

I also got another beautiful piece of artwork from Jinxxy of Jinxxy and Sunshine playing with ponies! I love Jinxxy's art, I traded with her before and was lucky enough to receive some art, and I have always kept it! I love the way you draw my ponysona as well, she's gorgeous! :blush: And a postcard with a lovely note on it from her town (or the closest "bigger" town, hehe :biggrin:)

And inside them? Ahhhh yay a SUPER CUTE Pekin Duck figure (I do actually have a small collection of duck figures, and he fits in there perfectly!! Also, my poor pekin Big Mac died a little while ago, so it's a beautiful reminder of him! :heart:) and some FSF outfits! I LOVE the blue/pink one, can't wait to try it on one of my FSF gals, and I actually own Niki (and hoping to get Dana soon!) so the capes are perfect! Thank you!

There were STILL more extras... I can't believe how much you spoiled and must've spent! :blush: Okay, this is amazing: A Trout Air Freshsener for my car! Now - the best part about this is, I actually HAVE this dangling from my rearview mirror BUT it's SUPER old and definitely doesn't smell. I also have a Bass air freshener with it, and together, I call them "Gill and Tad" who go on "bodacious journeys" with me - so, it's absolutely perfect because I haven't been able to find a Gill or Tad ANYWHERE in YEARS! And now I have a brand new Tad!! :cheer:

The next thing, I am so... floored. I can't even describe it. I got an amazing Detroit Tigers shirt from Jinxxy, and on the back is the name of the hometown she's from! It's SO perfect and it fits great! How do I know? Well... let's just say, between opening everything and posting this, I decided I was gonna have a beer. So, sat down, opened the beer, which apparently had fallen or been shaken up, and it EXPLODED all over my living room! Luckily all the gifts had been moved to safety away from me by that time... but the shirt I WAS wearing, was soaked, lol so I'm sitting here RIGHT NOW wearing this shirt. It's amazing, looks, feels and fits great, and is a beautiful reminder of my hometown baseball team who I love, the Tigers!!

And still one more bit of extra spoilage! I opened a beautiful mug with a rooster on it (ummm so absolutely perfect, I actually have rooster coffee mugs, similar to this one as my kitchen decor, this fits in BEAUTIFULLY and is bigger than the rest of the mugs, so I can claim it as MINE very easily! :biggrin: And I can't wait to try the teas! We have stopped drinking coffee lately and been starting to drink more tea, and these are like a super amazing sampler packet so I can get my "tea taste" on! :lol:

Now! Some ponies!

First off, I was SO EXCITED to get a Lemon Drop bait!! :biggrin: I CANNOT wait to rehair her! She will be my first Lemon Drop rehair for my army, and she's PERRRFEECCTTT!! Also, a really cute Barbie (? right?) Fairytopia horse with molded ballet slippers on her legs! I think she'll clean up beautifully! :heart:

Then, a gem of a gem of a gem - This is an ITALIAN LEMON DROP! :cheer: For my army! Of all the Italians I own, I don't own my precious Lemon Drop... or well, I didn't! And now I do! And I LOVE her little necklace. That for sure is staying with her! :lol:

And on top of all of that... a pony who has evaded me forever... UK BABY KATIE!
*dies*
I couldn't believe it was her, I first thought it was DnW Baby Flicker (who is ADORABLE too!) when I started unwrapping her, and then I was like... "OMG No it's KATIE!" :freak:

She is like mintier than mint, so beautiful!

So okay wow. Have to catch my breath going through this again. It's totally true that "Good things come to those who wait" and I know there were times we were upset or wondering what happened to Jinxxy, but I want to express my immense gratitude for her being my partner, sending me such a thoughtful, overwhelmingly sweet and kind swap box, and then being able to send it after everything going on... it really just tells me that she's the kind of person who is so considerate and kind, and I hope I can one day repay her kindness for this lovely swap box. I also hope you see this Jinxxy and come back to the forums! We miss you! :hug:

Thank you so much for this overly amazing box. From the actual box itself, to every little detail... the amount of thought and time put into my swap box was incredible... I appreciate every single thing you sent, you went above and beyond and, I just can't say thank you enough! :hug: Sorry I seem to be so sappy, I am just so overwhelmed and I just love love love it all!

Moley Hoses, Sunshine - that's one MASSIVE box! :dropjaw: It looks like the swap ended with a bang after all. The "N00b Swap" bookmark and MY LITTLE STURGEON are my personal favourites, and I'm just a tiny bit jelly over that MovieStar Magic outfit... and Italy Lemon Drop... seriously none of my regular colored LDs have that smooth hair. I'm happy that you ended up getting your box, you've been the Sunshine of our swap group. :sunny:

Thanks guys! I already baited my Lemon Drop (haha) and cleaned her up - she actually cleaned up really well, she'll always have some minor issues, but now I'm contemplating how to rehair her, just ordered some DH so, may have to wait for my blends and colors to come in... she's gonna be so cool! :biggrin:

Oh and the macaroni was delicious... and it's all gone now... :blush:

:biggrin: She did an amazing job with the art, I absolutely love all the artwork! It's very special to me to get handmade art in a box... :heart:

I sent her a nice long PM, left her feedback and saw that she did post in the swap thread... so I just hope Jinxxy can find more time to come back on Arena, I know personally I'm gonna have to plan quite the pony bomb to drop on her one of these days randomly!  :P

*grins a big stoopid toothy grin*

Sunshine, I am so happy you like the box! It totally made my day that you <3'd it!
 
Big thanks to everyone for waiting on my slow ass. Sorry for being so absent lately, and for keeping you all waiting. but even though the end was kinda shaky, I did really have fun shopping for my lovely partner... and I had a lot of fun getting to know you guys too!
I found myself finding so many little gifties that would be perfect for other memebers of the swap too. :) Reading though all of your posts, pouring though your teasers and the AMAZING 122 page long party we had going on was a blast.

Also, Cron, my lovely swapsender,  thank you so much for Tootie Tails and Salty! They are darling and so very MINT! They definitely have a special spot in my collection knowing they were secretswappyawesome ponies!!

Cat-Thank you so very much for putting this on! Thanks for being so patient with me and helping out with questions and stuff.. <3 You RAWK and we couldn't have done it without you!

SRSLY, I love you guys :satisfied:

They're totally going on my wall. Today is the day I go out in search of frames for a bunch of pony art, including a few pieces Jinxxy sent me a while ago that I've kept all this time but haven't had an appropriately sized frame for yet! :biggrin:

Yes, once I can get these things on the wall, haha, the frames, ugh it seems like I have 1000 frames but none are the right size. I probably will buy cheap ones at Walmart and paint them to match pony colors, but, my space looks like a pony BOMB went off inside it right now :blush: muahaha I really need some shelving so I can start organizing... :lol:
