Welcome to the Mug Swap 2013!!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Do you love snuggling up in your home with a cup of steaming hot joe? Perhaps the delightful cup of tea or indulging cup of hot cocoa? Great! What about the mug you use to drink your delicious drink? Does it have dolphins on it? Perhaps a favorite TV show, or movie? A neat design? In this swap, we will be shopping for a new mug (or two!) for our partners! It’ll be a secret swap, so shhhh! No telling who your partner is! This swap will not have a wishlist, but it will be important to let your partner know the things you like/dislike!


Budget:
The spending minimum for this swap is $15 plus $5 in extras. With this you should be able to get at least one mug, or possibly multiple mugs, for your partner! The extras should be things your partner has expressed interest in. Great extras for this swap could include packets of hot cocoa, tea bags, and coffee! The cost of shipping IS NOT included in the swap budget. Please plan on properly packaging your mug(s). We do not want any broken items.

There will be a maximum of 15 swap participants for this swap! Sign ups will go until September 30th, or until we reach 15 participants. Whichever happens first!

-You MAY NOT drop out once your application has been approved. Anyone who fails to send a box to their partner will be marked as a flaker and appropriate feedback will be left.
-All gifts should be wrapped, and teasers are to be posted before shipping. It makes it more fun when everyone posts a teaser!
-Please ensure that your mug(s) are properly packaged for shipping. This means bubble wrap, boxed inside the swap box, etc. Whatever it takes to make sure your mug will get to your partner safely!! No one wants to receive a broken mug.
-Please include a note/card in your box, so your partner knows who got them the wonderful gifts!
-Leave feedback for your partner once you have received your box
-Please post a brag of your haul! The brag thread will be started by the first person to receive their box.
-If any questions or problems come up, please contact me ASAP.

-Sign-ups until Monday, September 30 (or until we get 15 participants)
-Partners by Thursday, October 3rd
-Shopping: October 4 – November 1st
-Shipping: November 1st – November 7th

Please feel free to ask other questions throughout the thread! I will do my best to update the questions asked by the group in this post!

Questions asked by the group!

How do you feel about travel mugs?
Homemade items?
Antiques?
Tea cups?
How do we all feel about coasters as extras?
McDonalds Happy Meal Ponies - Minus G1, Are you missing any? Are you seeking any? Do you have an army of any?
What devices do you have for making your hot drinks (eg: tea pots, esspresso machine, coffee grinders)?
Candles?
How do you feel about a neat spoon or stirring-like object as an extra? Are you more simplistic and just use a spoon, or would you like a coffee stirrer?
Does anyone NOT like tea or not like coffee? Any types you are not okay with, like flavored teas or coffee?
Do you prefer caffeinated tea/coffee or decaf?
Are you vegan/vegetarian?
Any pets? If so, do they like (or are they allowed) pet snacks?
Do y'all like hot chocolate, hot cider, or other hot drinks that can be consumed from mugs?
How would you feel about having a custom mug made for you? Either the photo-type ones you can do or something like that? Maybe of your ponysona? Maybe of something that you listed in your likes?
Do you take baths at all?
Do you need/want My Little Pony cups?
Favourite animals, birds and or bugs?
Do you have any favorite movies/games/characters you might want a mug of?  or maybe we could use this for ideas for extras and not mugs too xD:
What is your favorite season?
Large mug?
I live in Arizona, and have sometimes seen mugs made by the Indians on the reservations here. They end up looking like glazed clay type mugs. Is this something you'd be interested in, partner?
Would you mind if your name was on the cup? if so what do you prefer to be called?
Are you okay with getting a mug that would need to be hand washed?
Do you have your ears peirced?
Partner; is it cool if I sent a "generic" mug that you may like as an extra?
Do you prefer loose tea or tea bags? Would a tea infuser (like a cute novelty one) be good as part of your extras?
Coffee drinkers, whole or ground?
More about jewelry. Do you wear jewelry at all? Do you wear bracelets or necklaces?
To those who said you like teacups - would you rather have a nice teacup instead of a mug? or does it have to be a mug since this is the mug swap and not a teacup swap? I see some very pretty ones BUT they are at the limit for the budget for this swap.
If you were to receive a hand painted mug...what would you want on it? Of all your interests, what would you most want a custom mug of?
Chestnut coffee??
Flowering tea??
Baked goods? If so which ones/flavors?
What if I scooped you out a few little jars of my whole bean or ground coffee?
Holiday mugs??
Sake cups?
Pony sets within extras budget??
Themed wrapping?
Can you name your top 5 Disney Movies? (Even if you only liked them as a kid and no longer?)
Red velvet coffee?
Factory flaws okay?

Off Topic / BRAG!! Private Other Collections Swap with Emberfly!
« on: August 23, 2013, 10:25:07 PM »
Emberfly and I had so much fun with the "Random Other Collections" swap that we decided to do a private one! :]. We upped the budget a bit, so be prepared for a HUGE brag! She spoiled the pants off me! I am seriously amazed at the kindness and thought that Emberfly put into my box.

FYI - My "other collections" include Pocahontas stuff, Aristocats stuff, Zebra stuff, and recently Wicked Witch items as well.

Without further ado, BRAGS!!

First...look at this box! Doesn't it look enticing?!

I'll put everything else in a spoiler because it is PIC HEAVY from here on out!

The card!! Such a cute Celestia card! And the Aristocats sticker is adorable, as well as the little Lion King earrings! (which were for my SO, as she loves the lion king!)

CANDY!! I was so excited to try these new things, as we don't have them in the U.S. There was another Kinder egg, but I broke into it as soon as I opened it xD. There was a little Randall figure from Monsters University inside :D

These books are awesome! I love them all! :] (Toola Roola is my favorite pony, FYI)

Next! These earrings are TO DIE FOR! The zebras are awesome. And the ones of my avatar and the little witch bear ones are made by Emberfly!! Isn't she talented??

These thimbles are so cool! I love them all, but am partial to the Aristocats ones. They're going to find a special shelf to be displayed on :]

Aren't these gentlemen handsome?! The boy Aristocat plushes are NOT easy to find, and I was sooooooo excited to have gotten a set of them! I don't know how Emberfly tracked them down!

Emberfly and I had talked about the new BAB plushes, and I mentioned how cute I thought the Spike plush was...but I never thought she'd send one in my box!! He's so cute! My SO thinks he ought to go live with the funrise Rarity plush we have, but I think he belongs on MY shelf ;]

A new Toola Roola for my army!! I don't have the lady with her hat, yet! And it's MIB. :D

Okay these are really cool. Emberfly made these as well and they are magnets!! My name is Hailey, and mine has the boy Aristocats. The other ones are for my SO, whose name is Ryann ^.^

These are from Germany and are so neat!! I have a shelf right next to my bed with Aristocats stuff on it, and that's where these guys will call home!

These are some MH stickers that Emberfly sent along for my SO, the MH collector :].

Some really beautiful canvas art and some cute zebra magnets. I love them both! The canvas will be going on my zebra wall :]

A cute little zebra coin purse, Meeko wind up toy, and little grow creature! The coin purse is going right into my bag! And I have been meaning to order the wind up toy, so it was perfect to get!

Cute animal print kleenex xD (including zebra!) and a really neat Pocahontas bookmark! The top is hard to see, but it is a movie cell from Pocahontas!! Soo cool!

These postcards are beautiful!! I plan on finding one of the long frames that has three picture slots for them, so they can be displayed properly :]

A really cute Marie cup! I love that it has a cute little Marie figure floating in the bottom!!

This is called a "Huggy Pet", which is basically a pillow pet, but you put your own pillow in! It's really neat! And it's already on my pillow  :blush:

Some more amazing things made by Emberfly! A toola magnet, a g4 style toola necklace, and two wicked witch necklaces!! I love them all!! :heart:

A really cool Pocahontas coffee cup that I've been drooling over for a while!! It's so beautiful and in amazing shape!!

I love this! It's already framed and ready to go! The art is really beautiful :]

And last, but in no way least, an incredible craft that Emberfly made for me. I'm not putting this in a spoiler because it is just too awesome.

It's a pony plushie of my avatar pony!! I was blown away when I opened it. The detail and work that went into are truly amazing. Here's more pics :D


I have to thank Emberfly for an AMAZING box, and we became friends in the process, which is like another gift! I really love EVERYTHING in this box! :heart:

Pony Brag Arena / Raffle Prize with added love!
« on: August 16, 2013, 11:08:21 AM »
Lochnessmomster held a raffle to help pay for Shenanigan's vet bills for her doggie, Falcore. I donated because I know how difficult vet bills can be, but I never expected to win a prize!

I received my prize today and was blown away by the extra touches that Lochnessmomster added to make the package special. She wrapped my pony in beautiful paper and included a beautiful card as well!

The Dollhouse / Howleen/Clawdeen sister pack
« on: April 05, 2013, 01:57:03 PM »
Just found like four of these at Target. Was there a rerelease or maybe just backstock they're trying to sell? Any ideas?

Hello all!

Sarahlacewing has so generously donated a custom commission to be raffled off to help fund my dog's surgery.

Background on Carly:
Carly is a 1 ½ year old Chihuahua-Pug mix that we adopted alongside her sister. They were abandoned in a park at only a few weeks old and we adopted them from the Humane Society once they were old enough. She is a sweet little girl who is now termed the “princess” because…well she acts like one! When all the other dogs (her sister and our two boy Chihuahuas) get a treat, she waits on the couch until you bring her treat to her and sleeps on a pillow in between our heads on the bed. She is definitely a princess.

Carly suffers from a congenital disease known as “Luxating Patellas”. This basically means that her knees pop in and out as she walks. It causes discomfort and pain and we currently have her on joint supplements as well as pain control medications. Unfortunately, the only way to cure her of her issue is to have surgery on both of her hind legs to stabilize the patella (knee bone).

Pic of the lovely lady:

Raffle tickets will be as follows:

$1 for 1
$5 for 10

The winning number will be picked using random.org and a screenshot to ensure fairness. There will be about a week to buy tickets. I will pull the number on Tuesday March 26th so you have until Monday the 25th at midnight to buy tickets!

Paypal account is: [email protected]

Please include your arena username and the word "custom" in your Paypal payment!
Please do not put the word RAFFLE in the paypal info! They don't like it!

I will keep an updated list of the ticket numbers and buyers at the bottom of this post.

Sarahlacewing has given the following guidelines for the winner's custom commission:

1. Sculpting is fine no limit needed there
2. Hair color 3 or less

The Dollhouse / MIB Scaris Deuce Raffle to Benefit Pet's Surgery
« on: March 06, 2013, 07:33:49 PM »
Hello all!
I am raffling off a MIB Scaris Deuce in the hopes of raising some money for a surgery my dog needs.

Background on Carly:
Carly is a 1 ½ year old Chihuahua-Pug mix that we adopted alongside her sister. They were abandoned in a park at only a few weeks old and we adopted them from the Humane Society once they were old enough. She is a sweet little girl who is now termed the “princess” because…well she acts like one! When all the other dogs (her sister and our two boy Chihuahuas) get a treat, she waits on the couch until you bring her treat to her and sleeps on a pillow in between our heads on the bed. She is definitely a princess.

Carly suffers from a congenital disease known as “Luxating Patellas”. This basically means that her knees pop in and out as she walks. It causes discomfort and pain and we currently have her on joint supplements as well as pain control medications. Unfortunately, the only way to cure her of her issue is to have surgery on both of her hind legs to stabilize the patella (knee bone).

Here's the lovely lady:

Here are some pics of Deuce. He does not look like he has "eye wonk" to me, but I took a face pic just in case we have some picky ones.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

visitors can't see pics , please register or login



How the raffle will work:

I will use random.org to generate a random number based on how many "tickets" are sold. I will then screen shot the number and post it here to be fair.

I will keep an updated list on this post of who holds which tickets. If the first person buys five tickets, they will have numbers 1-5, the second who buys five will have 6-10 and so on and so forth.

Tickets are:

$1 for 1
$5 for 10

I will ask that the winner help with shipping costs...as I am giving all the money raised to my dog's vet...including the investment I made in Deuce when I bought him. International shipping is fine as long as you are willing to pay for shipping costs. I have boxes and filler, so it will just be paying for whatever USPS costs.

I will sell raffle "tickets" for one week. The winning number will be called Tuesday March 19th. That gives everyone until Monday the 18th at midnight to submit for tickets. There must be at least 50 tickets sold by the deadline for the raffle to happen. If there isn't, I will refund the money that the others have paid. Otherwise I will lose money and that won't help Carly at all :/. Sorry about that! But as long as we get past 50 tickets sold, I will pull the number!

PayPal to send payment to: [email protected]
Please include your arena username and the word "deuce" in your payment!
Please DO NOT use the word RAFFLE in your payment as PayPal doesn't like that.

Please pm with questions! My little girl and I appreciate all your help!

TICKET SALES:

1-10 Keelee_von_cupcake
11-20 enchantress41580
21-40 mejohnson85
41-60 darkangellilith

Alright my dears! The time has come!

I used random.org and generated a number between 1 and 60 because that is how many tickets were sold. The ticket numbers have been posted on the first post of this thread throughout the selling period and represent each ticket holder's numbers.

So without further ado...

Pony Corral / G4 Trading Cards typos...anyone getting these?
« on: August 21, 2012, 09:38:41 PM »
So I have bought about 5 packs of the g4 trading cards from Target and I swear at least one card in each pack has an error. For example, I got a rarity (normal) card. On the back, the cards have the three types of ponies (earth, pegasus, and unicorn) listed and whichever that pony is, the card will have it highlighted. Well on quite a few of mine, it will show:

Pegasus
Unicorn
Pegasus

as the options. I have also found ones that say:

Pegasus
Unicorn
Unicorn

as the options. And of course, some of them are correct. Also, the pictures for the three pony types are correct, just the words are wrong.


Anyone else get these??
