So back in August, BerryMouse posted wanting to do a 24 day swap with somebody. I jumped at the chance, but suggested that we make it 24 days plus a custom on the 25th day as we both customise.
So, here is what the lovely BerryMouse sent me:

-
Ooo that sounds like so much fun :D can't wait to see what you both get hehe
-
That sounds awesome! I look forward to seeing what you open! :D
-
wooooooot for 25 days worth of pony-related goodness :cool:
-
That is a pretty cool idea :)
-
Can't wait to see your brags! Those swaps are so much fun!
-
Whaaa here I am, thank you Daffy for opening the topic - have an hour till I'm off to work again *gosh I'm tired lol*
I opened the first gift - before I'm off :D
I got a cute christmas card (I guess that's Daffy on the pic??)
then a lovely foto holder (what's the right word for it?) pink Smarties (I've never seen only pink smarties before yay) & very cute 3D G3 Stickers!! :hug:

I'm glad you like her, I was worried that you might have already bought one as she wasn't strictly on the swap list. I also see the turtle in the background ;)
I got Pretty Ups and Haribo!

I haven't decided who is going to wear the Pretty Ups yet, but they are in such nice frizz-free condition. I love having accessories to put in my ponies hair :)
-
Day 3 - sorry it's already dark here so I had to use the flash :D
I got a lovely ornament ( did you made it Daffy? It's great I've never seen such paper work before)
As soon as the tree is up I'll hang it on there of course.
Oh and I already tried the snow bites :D - to be honest half of the bag is already gone lol *nom nom nom*

No I didn't - I bought it in a lovely fair trade/ethnic shop in a local town called Hebden Bridge, there are lots of things like that there! And I think Snow Bites might be my favourite seasonal chocolate, they are yummy :D

Thank you for a Windwhistler for my army, a candy cane and more Haribo! :lovey:
-
Wow, great pictures everyone. Can't wait to see the next ones

I can't wait to see the hair do's you make with those! Funnily enough only one of my ponies (Rosedust) is wearing them, ooh and also a custom that I made.
I couldn't for the life of me guess what today's parcel was, but I got more Haribo (which are long gone) and a sticky note pad! That was great timing because I just ran out at work, and these are special so nobody can steal them :biggrin:

A chocolate owl filled with Smarties & 2 packages Fimo =)
I took the pic and almost ate the whole owl :lookround:
-
Oh no, it looks like the owl didn't make the trip in one piece?!
Today my kitties got spoilt with treats and toys! I didn't get forgotten though with another yummy chocolatey-nutty-wafer-thingy ;)

Oh wow how adorable. This makes me want to do a 25 day swap next year :lookround:

Yah, the owl had a dent but that was no prob at all =)
Today (day 6) I received these yummy yummy Galaxy Minstrels and a blinking christmas tree badge - I've tried my best to take pic's lol

-
Squee! Today I got Berry's first ever plushie - Beachball! He is so so so cute! About the size of a TY Beanie Pony so originally when I was squishing the package, that's what I thought I had ;)

-
Glad you like the plushy - I was not so happy with it but like I wrote, it was my first try at all :D
I made her from a G4 pattern :D
I opened day 7 today and received three packages custom hair and a very nice christmas card:

:hug:
-
Short post with no pictures as away from home and on my phone - I got a bead for my charm bracelet, a wafer thing and Haribo. Picture to be added tomorrow!
-
What great gifts you both have received so far!
I love the idea of an advent/25 day swap!!
-
Is Haribo a gummy treat? Like a fruit rollup type thing? I'm so enjoying following this tread...I must participate in one next year!
-
I think Haribo is most popular here for making gummy bears.
Great swap so far, guys! It looks really fun!
-
super gifts you've both had so far :biggrin:
*continues to stalk the thread*
-
What wonderful gifts you're receiving so far!!! >w<

Then today, I got the PonyNaut outfit! Kindly modelled by my Snuzzle, I have been after a loose one of these for a long time, it is very hard to find with the mask intact once it's off the card. :)

It's complete but I also got a metallic gold ribbon which I don't believe is part of the set. I have an inkling of what it might be, but can you tell me which pony it goes to BerryMouse? :D
-
I'm late with my yesterdays brag :D
So day no. 8 contained a cadbury chocolate snowman, three bracelets and a magnet all with nazar charms.

Oh and Daffy about the golden ribbon - I have no clue where it belong to :blink:
I received it with the outfit :D
-
Ah, I shall have to get an ID done on it at some point! If it turns out not to be MLP then it does go very well with the outfit ;)
Today I got Dolly Hair and Haribo, a good day! No plans for the hair just yet, but I'm leaning towards teaming it with a dark green and maybe a dark plum/purple... ;)

-
*snatches DaffyDilly's pony-naut costume and runs*
-
Did someone say Pony-Naut? :dribble:
-
Yes, it is super cute!
Today I got this beautiful hand made bracelet with Beachball's symbol - it's like a popper/button but it's not too dainty as I'm often worried about damaging jewellery having a horse and all!

And day 11 - one of Daffy's famous bracelets in sea breeze colors (pink, orange and yellow) and a tiny tiny hand painted sea breeze charm which I can put either on the key chain she sent or the bracelet (is that correct?) =).
This is so tiny I'm wondering how you're able to paint these ponies lol!
But I love it!! :heart:

Today I got a pony! G4 Lyrica Lilac, which I'm super pleased about because she was a US exclusive, and more Haribo, I don't know what I'd do without my daily fix of Haribo :D

Bright Bramley (beautifully rehaired by BerryMouse) and Haribo. I'm beginning to think that there is a never ending supply of haribo here lol! :biggrin:
-
Hope you're not too annoyed getting the same chocolates and candys day for day lol
It seems I was not pretty inventive with those :D
-
Definitely not, in fact I will be gutted when the supply runs out and I have to buy my own!

Paint Palette (I spent ages wondering what on earth it was through the paper!), chocolate and Haribo. Palettes are always good for me as I have a bad habit of not cleaning them quickly enough so they get ruined.

Well I thought there might be a pony on the 24th Day (as you have to save the best until last!) but I wasn't expecting this!

Thank you thousand times for doing this swap with me Daffy - I really enjoyed it!! :hug:
Merry Christmas to you and your family and to "Daffy" of course as well =)

I'm so glad you like her, I got carried away with the fake snow lol!
I haven't named him yet, but he is totally awesome! Joint favourite in my custom collection I think.

I can't believe the swap is now over, but I have had the best fun and you have been the best partner! :hug:

Glad you like him =)
btw. His name is written under his hooves.
I always name my Customs lol
