Squee, I get to brag first! :squee:
I found a box waiting for me today when I got home. It was from the lovely Clones_rebellion. ^.^

The next package I opened contained this cute lunch box set.

The box came with a note:
"I bought this when the Lion King was still in theaters! I never used it,
but I've kept it for over 20 years waiting for just the right thing to do with it!
When you said you love the Lion King I knew I've been hanging
on to this box just for you!"
I can't even tell you how taken I am by this gift! :faint: I still have shivers going down my spine. The Lion King is my all time absolute favorite movie ever, I've seen it I think around 30 times by now, and it never gets old. Thank you so much Clones. :hug: And look at the design on the other side of the thermos! So adorable! :biggrin:

Color coordinated so soft ponies! And Skippity Doo came with her stand wich is awesome, because I've been meaning to get one for reference (maybe I can make some more now that I know how they should be like. :P)
What a box, what a box! :squee: Thank you Clones!
-
Wow! Lovely box ~ those so softs are just so gorgeous! Congrats!
-
What a cool swap idea- I hope I can participate next time it comes round (if you guys do it again!) I look forward to seeing what you guys all get!!
-
The story behind that Lion King set is pretty amazing. I love how the box was loaded with chocolate. And those so softs are totally lovely--they can be hit or miss, which can make sending them tough, but those three are beautiful! Congrats!
-
How wonderful to have held on to the Lion King lunchbox set for all these years, and find a perfect home for the. :)
Wonderful brag and beautiful SS ponies!
-
That was so nice of Clones_rebellion! :). I had that same lunch box and thermos as a kid. :lol: The flocking on those so-softs sure is nice after all the years! And those curls on Fifi...WOW!! Congrats!

My turn to brag! My daughter was home sick from school today (ear infection and ruptured ear drum!), so it was a rough day, to say the least. .....enter my swap box from Raspberry Brulee! Warning: pic heavy hee hee
DD helped me open the box, which was jam packed with goodies and the most fun, sparkly, packing grass!

Raspberry Brulee included a special gift for my daughter, based on my calling her my 'little spitfire'! (You can tell she doesn't feel good, and has a fever, poor thing) She was so excited to be included, that was so extremely thoughtful of you <3

Raspberry Brulee wrote that she included stuff for DD so that I could open my gifts in peace hee hee
Here's a Mrs. Cake (one of my absolute favorite characters!) patch--gorgeous, and I think I'm going to frame it right on the card in my craft room :)

GREEN GUMMY FROGS!!!! I adore these candies, and have the hardest time finding them by us! My taste buds thank you!

Next, I opened up a mini Ursula POP figure! I have a Maleficent on our mantel, and now she has a friend (cracking up at your description, Raspberry Brulee--the two of them kicking back with some red wine in a tavern and complaining about their nemesis...es hee hee

She is home on my mantel! which needs to be dusted, yuck

To the ponies! My husband was cutting up some meat, and wasn't very happy that I kept squealing LOL
Get ready to drool over these three!
Heart Throb!

Thank you so, so much Raspberry Brulee--it was a wonderful, SPOT ON box, and I am eternally grateful for your kind words and kind gesture for including my "little spitfire" :lovey:
-
Your new ponies are lovely and the Ursula mini pop is absolutely incredible! :heart: Congrats on the lovely new goodies. :)
-
Ooo, the Lion King lunchbox is most awesome!
Congrats on two great boxes you guys! The ponies all look beautiful ^.^
-
Congrats! I love Lion king and remember that lunch box and mug!
-
Two great boxes so far. Love the pony patch! I've never seen one of those before. :)
-
Awww!!!! Yaaaaaaaay :biggrin: CoonhoundBetty I'm so glad that package arrived on a day when it was needed, I had so much fun putting it together. You've got great taste in ponies, and one super cute kid! :hug:
-
Wow these boxes are amazing!
I look forward to take part in a swap sometimes (when I can meet up the criteria!)
It is really great to see all the joy they create ^.^
-
Lovely to see! Sorry your little one is ill CHB, I hope she is on the mend...
-
I got my box today from SunPony, and it was a blast to open!
I took out the card and when I turned it over I gasped so much! It was a beautiful picture of my ponysona Sonnet Scroll! I can't wait to find a frame for it so I can hang it in the pony/craft room. :D

Next I opened this wonderfully flocked Magic Star! I just had to pet her for a while she was so soft and clean and had amazing hair. I restrained myself after a while so I wouldn't mess her up ;) She also came with a cute pink bird brush (pictured later) which I think is her original!

Sorry this one came out so blurry, I didn't notice til I uploaded it and she is already assimilated into my Rarity army. I love turning her upside down so the glitter moves around. ^.^

I was really excited to open this one! A very minty Merriweather and she has a cute ribbon on her tail! Her hair is so soft and the symbols are perfect.

Group shot of everything. I had never tried that flavor of Toblerone, but its now my favorite! I forgot to photograph the other extra I got? :( SunPony also gave me a pack of cards for the MLP CCG and in it I found a shiny crystal Rarity card which is also joining the Rarity army. :D

Thank you so much SunPony for the lovely box and the very thoughtful card. I loved all the things you included from my posts, I hope that one day we are in a swap again and I can make a box for you! :lovey:
-
What a nice box. :) I've never seen that type of Toblerone before. Water Cuties Rarith is one of my favorite G4, Magic Star looks very nice, and Merriweather is a very pretty pony. I also think the image of your ponysona is adorable. Congrats!
-
Yay! I'm so glad you liked everything! You were super fun to shop for, it was hard to restrain myself to 2 extras :lol: And that's so great that there was a Rarity card in that pack!
Yeah, that should be Magic Star's original brush. Merriweather's ribbon probably isn't original, though I actually have no idea :P
-
ooh, that flocking on the Magic Star is absolutely stunning!

Oh wow what an adorable box! ::grabby hands:: Merriweather! :rainbow: :rainbow: :rainbow:
-
Oh! Lovely boxes!!!!! :frolic: I've been away from the Arena for a few days and when I get back there are so many brags!!!! :heart:
Mirnyj, I am so glad you liked everything! And I'm thrilled you like the Lion King lunchbox! It's one of my all time favorite movies, too. I still have a tee shirt I bought when I was in middle school that is tattered and full of little tiny holes, but I refuse to throw it out! I had a blast putting together the tin full of chocolates, but had a hard time keeping my hubby's greedy paws out of it! :lol: The So Softs were a challenge to let go of. I am VERY picky about my SS ponies since they get so grubby and worn. I especially loved Fifi. She is one of my favorites. I'm glad she is with someone who will love her as much as I do. :hug:
-
Great boxes so far. I'm mailing out today!
-
Oh boy oh boy, my swap box arrived today :D First off, THANK YOU to my partner ChipsteRJ! Okay on to the unpacking! First check out the padding, some ppl use packing peanuts, some people use CANDY! Also behold the cute pony paper :D

Okay now we are going directly to ponies. (I actually went directly to eating candy but we don't need a pic of that ha ha) Oh yeah, in her note ChipsteRJ noted that she hoped I like yellow. Don't worry, I LOVE yellow ponies!
So, first yellow pony is Baby Bouncy! I was thrilled to open this little one, Bouncy was one of my childhood ponies and is in AMAZING condition!

Next up is Mainsail! Oooooo her symbols are in great shape and she is just such a fun pony. It was actually my first time seeing her in person, isn't she lovely? ^.^

Last but not least is Swirly Whirly! She's a pony I have been wanting for AGES so I was super happy to find her, also in fabulous condition, look at that amazing hair. :biggrin:

This morning I received an exciting surprise from our fabulous host Mirnyj! :lol: My roommate was bummed when the package was for me (because tomorrow is his birthday) so I let him do the unwrapping and we shared the pony joy!

All the wrapping was excellent! I especially liked the toadstool packing tape and french macaroon paper

OK, I'll get to the good stuff- here are my three new ponies! I've been pretty obsessed with blue ponies these days, can't quite pin down why, but just look at these girls~> Princess Silver Glow with omg woah SUCH nice tinsel, sparkle pony Starbeam from the friendship ball (although in my imagination this particular pony is better suited as a prince)..and LOVE MELODY! :shocked: Oh, she is so gorgeous! Her mane and tail are perfect! All three of these girls are in such excellent condition, not a mark on them and perfectly styled. :heart:

...and then such fun extras! MOOMIN! A dear friend of mine was just telling me about Moomin as one of his favorite childhood cartoons, so I was very happy to see this adorable white hippo (?) again ^_^ I received a handsome orange journal with Moomin on stilts, gummy Moomins (which roommate, DH, and I promptly opened) and a beautiful box of white tea with raspberry! The packaging of the tea is particularly divine, I'm looking forward to a cup tomorrow morning.

Mirnyj, thank you so much for such an exciting and thoughtful swap box. I'm SO THRILLED with these new additions to my collection. And of course, thank you for organizing the Simple Swap! :beerchug: :hug: :sunny:
-
Mainsal and Swirly Whirly are so pretty. And Princess Tiffany's wand? How cool is that. :) I love the idea of using candy as a packing material, too. How clever.
Raspberry Brulee, I love the two g3 you got. They're gorgeous. :heart: Never heard of Moomin but they seem interesting. And Raspberry White tea? That sounds really good. (I adore white teas with fruit.)
-
I got my box from the lovely wlyteth today!!!!! There was no card in the box, but I figured it out by the teaser. ;)
Here are the pretty packages! I have to start with the wrapping paper because it is so beautiful! It is so Victorian! Love! :heart:

I chose to open the cute little knitted pouch first and inside was a pack of silver chains! These are great! I have a few charms than need new chains and I may use one or two of them for jewelry for my Ever After High dolls. I want to try making clothes and such for them so this is a lovely start!

Wow so many boxes today! Congrats everyone!
That Moomin journal is totally cute ^.^ As are those blue G3s, very lovely.
I didn't know Cha-cha existed but she is a beautiful pony, congrats on getting her! and wlyteth what a cute little pouch you made for clones, it looks really nicely made :biggrin:
-
...and then such fun extras! MOOMIN! A dear friend of mine was just telling me about Moomin as one of his favorite childhood cartoons, so I was very happy to see this adorable white hippo (?) again ^_^
He's not a hippo. He is a troll. :P I'm so glad you liked your box. :hug:
-
Wanted to stop by and just mention that I received my box and it is wonderful...I got 2 G2s & some G1 merchandise!
I may not get to posting a photo until this weekend though, I've been without internet for 4wholedaysandhave over 600 emails to sift through (about 30% junk email)...
-
I'm so happy you liked your box clones_rebellion! :D I wanted to get one of the ponies on your most wanted list and I'm so glad I was able to find you a nice Cha Cha! When I bought that tulle I was planning on using it for dolly clothes too, so funny you had the same idea! ^.^
I was looking for ages for some old map themed wrapping paper, and I couldn't find anything that wasn't pastel let alone maplike. When I saw the brown paper it stuck me as very Victorian and I grabbed it lol.
I'm happy you liked Nurse Redheart, I thought she was on your list and then after I bought her I double checked and saw that it was the blindbag one that you wanted. >.<

The package did arrive when my internet was down, so that certainly put me in a better mood.
Thanks, I'm down to 436 now!
This weather is crazy warm & cold --- don't know whether to run the air conditioner or the heater!
-
are we still waiting on a box or two?
-
No hun, all seven boxes have been delivered safe and sound. :) This was a teeny-weeny swap. ^.^

What awesome boxes! I enjoyed hosting the first Simple Swap with Dewprincess, and I am glad to see it has been continued ^^
